To break free we perish
The self lowers and fragments
Not one
They move for the hive
Inversion of promise
A yearning for self
Yearning for death
A legion of ciphers
Bound unwittingly
Legion
Their thoughts a chaotic din
Pulsing
Through veins of shared blood
Legion
Of kin, disparate
Rising
Pressure of pain erupts
Other’s shards
Pierce the new whole
Hideous creature
Shocked in to life without consent
Legion
They move as Sisyphus
Consuming all light
Consuming what’s left
Becoming whole
A Pitiful end
Hideous creature
Shocked into life
Without consent
Now discord is all
A legion of chaos
Bound eternally
A yearning for self
A yearning for death

Gold Sinews
07:38

Forward, the lines of olden days
Further the lives from newer ways
It is so
It is known
Grasped by the hand of history
The hilt of time we cannot see
Voracious distilled fervor
For the unwashed
The death blow striking steel
The helm uncleaved
Listless is the crone of dissonance
Unbarred from her petrified gaze
A cry for malintent arose
The cages thirst for blood
Voracious distilled fervor
For the unwashed
The death blow striking steel
The helm uncleaved
Pugnacious is the hand
Of the unclean
Their treachery an everlasting tainted effigy
Who will you serve
Ten thousand lances
Born of fire and salt
Derecho of anguish
Breathes then falls
The cracked altar of ignorance
Dilapidated
Fastened with gold sinew
The book that holds us together
Festers on the weak
Summarizes their plight
Hidden
The face of who I am
Concealed behind lies
Written in blood
My name in the book of death
Cursed to walk this realm
A spirit of dread

Reeling Between
07:30

Caged by desires I can’t control
I search for escape, and find it
Episodes of dulled senses
Satisfies the clarity between
Drawing from nothing
But a primitive reflex to survive
I find recourse in indulgence found easily
The further I wade into the deep
The easier I fall into it
Promises of life’s vacuity
Never really is true
Ripples from my shortcomings
Splashed on the ones I knew
Close my eyes to my better senses
Caged by desires I can’t control
The further I wade to the deep
The easier I fall into it
The sun is up and I am spent
With no story
But an overwhelming sense of guilt and loss
Leaving no time to reflect
I assume righteousness
Leaving no time to reflect
I assume righteousness
Close my eyes
To better my senses
False nurturing
For a fucked up infant
To feel secure
My time has no meaning
Feeling abhorred
At the sight of me
I fall into it

Opressive Ruminations
04:04
|
|
||
Ripped from the jaws of despondency
To miss the target
But align again
Far from denied
A hope for recompense
Again I strive
New ways to survive
I cope with abuse
Stumbling on unlevel ground
I choose to look downward
Lack of foresight inhibited me
In moving forward
And you may find
Deceit that abounds
To gather you up
And spit you forth
Impaled on the stake
And again I find
Helpless, I re-enact
The pathetic cycle
Falling on the sword
I pull myself closer
To close the loop
Ignorant and full of fear
And you may find
Deceit that abounds
To gather you up
And spit you forth
Impaled on the stake
And again I find, it’s useless
Fueling my own demise

Leech on them
Fill that space with essence
Their being can’t sustain on its own
Not long till release
Leech on them for healing
No avoiding
Host’s slow death
Not long till release
Us a plague
Now free to spread
Us a monument
To deceit
Drifting among them
A god in its eyes
A nepotistic ascent
To a throne of nothing
Bloodletting
Drain the disease
Sorrow brings solace
At your final breath
Us a plague
Now free to spread
Us a monument
To deceit
Drifting among them
A god in its eyes
A nepotistic ascent
To a throne of nothing
Leech on them for healing
No avoiding
Host’s slow death
Leech on them for healing
No avoiding
Host’s slow death

Resonating Loss
07:50

Elucidate the way ahead
Blindness overtakes
My senses opening
Dulled and numb
Come to reason now
I won’t wake up
Dashed upon the rocks
Bruises turning into scars
As time fades
Wash away the past
There’s no shelter in the cave
Of your grand illusion
The cold burning of the flesh
Endless passions of the heart
Lustful wretched we become
Turn away - a cold sweat
Of quiet dread, I look death in the eyes
Desperation
Drowning out my faint quiet cries
Unheard and ignored
Screams of agony
Ringing in my mind
The cold burning of the flesh
Endless passions of the heart
Lustful wretched we become
A cold sweat of quiet dread
I look death in the eyes
The machinations of war
The tread of despair
The crashing of the waves
Breaks the silence of the air
A cold sweat of quiet dread
I look death In the eyes
The crashing of the waves
Breaks the silence of the air
