Damned
From the very first sight
Attraction to obsession
Filling my mind
With everything
That doesn’t matter
I was
Connecting the dots
To form
What was never there
Whatever did I see?
Whatever you showed
I believed
Led
Through the arches
Oblivious of blotches
Chain her to me
Chain her to me
CHAINED
Chain her to me
Chain her to me
Through a binding ring
Chain her to me
Chain her to me
To the DEATH
False happiness
Fleeting
Ignoring red flags
I didn’t even heed advice from my dad
Shred dress clothes to rags
Every time I didn’t listen it ended bad
Whatever did I see?
Whatever you showed
I believed
Young and so naive
Yearning
I wanted to believe
I just wanted to believe
I bought it all
Hook
Line
Sinker
I bought it all
All-consuming
I carved
Your name
You carved
Into my flesh

Wide ocean
Push your body out
Push your body away and alone
Push your body to feel strong
I’ve seen friends come and go
My hands are killing
From hurting more
You are the shame
Broken fuck
Beckoning
You can see the gravity in your eye
Pull pull pull
Well you pull it down
Close your eyes
When you see my arms
Down down down
This is suicide
And after the sunset
By yourself
Free
Make it through the day
Make it to this play
I’ve gotta breathe that way
Can’t feel my face
That’s why you break to me
Fuck what you say
You’ll never sleep again
Find yourself alone
With no people you know
Carrying all the world
Burn them all
BURN
THEM
ALL
Push your body away and alone
Push your body to feel strong
I’ve seen friends come and go
My hands are killing
From hurting more
Make it through the day
Make it to this play
I’ve gotta breathe that way
DIE
What you know
What you said through your eyes
You barely know
What to say or discuss
You’re fucking
Kidding me with asking this shit
You’re fucking kidding me
Asking this SHIT
Make it through the day
Make it to this play
I’ve gotta breathe that way
Stop asking me this shit

Grief
04:15
|
|||
Trust
You held my hand
Until it broke
I fabricated your love
For you
You loved only yourself
That’s you
I locked away
Our eternal link
I sacrificed
Unknowingly
I did what I had to do
Nothing more
Nothing less
It wasn’t betrayal
That’s what came next
All your strength
Pushing me
Off
On
The ice floe
GONE
This isolation
Has dried me to a husk
I’m paralyzed
Bound to this spot
Light always fading
Like dusk
Haunted
Memories spur action within
Leap into the freezing water
Use death as a linchpin
System shocked
But I’m driven by a feeling
That’s beyond physical limits
Breathing liquid
Is it emotion
Or a soul
That leaves
Yet stays
I’ll emerge onto land as a ghost
The weight of which
Leaves prints in the snow
I’m coming back
Now
I swear
I’m coming back
Daddy’s coming back
Now
UNSTOPPABLE
There is no hesitation
For the destination
Only determination
Pushing and pulled by grief
Marking its presence beneath

Vacant
03:46
|
|||
Count them down
The meaningless seconds
These moments of emptiness
They have become
My existence
Take it from me
This breath that just won’t cease
Please take it from me
This useless life
All of my pain
All of my sorrow
All of my rage
My love
FALSE
My passion
DEAD
My purpose
LOST
Eyes vacant
And now
I am utterly alone
Without saying goodbye
Trapped in a hell
That is all my own
And I’ve tried to forget
But there’s too much regret
To see past this sunset
Cold sweat
Mixes in with the red
Contort
The heart
Split mine apart
Noiseless cries
Mouth stuck wide
Vacant eyes
Blank inside

Mortal Beast
04:08
|

TEAR
Tear a division in my heart
TEAR
Tear my mind apart
Now what choice do I choose?
It seems like either way
(this way / that way)
Either way I lose
Out on something
Good or evil overtaking
Growing power inwardly
Cementing what is believed
Love or hate
Concentrates
Arrogating morality
Now you’re aligning with the thoughts
Your freedom rots
No matter what you sought
Ultimately
You’re just a mortal beast
To be ridden mercilessly
Maximum speed
Gallop until your feet both bleed
Bleed out until your soul’s released
Warring
These voices scream within
The grey envelopes me
And makes the options blend
Clashing
These voices scream within
The pressure crushes me
And makes my ethics bend
New decisions every day
Consequences every way
Everything there is to say
Swelling in my tongue
But my determination’s made
I’m slaving for the sacred light
There’s nothing to it
But to buck up
And just do it
Now it’s yours…
So…
How will you live your life?

The Cost
03:15
|
|||
Chaos and calamity
Converging on my move
Through my mind
Through my hands
Burdening the freedom brings
Constraints that I behoove
From inside
As a man…
Is this really all up to me?
Or…
Is this a fixed destiny?
Down another day
Down another day
Down another day
(another day down)
Down another day
Down the spiral
Of denial
Just stop it
Stop it
Stop the lies
This is the cost
You must pay
For living life your way
This is the cost
For the decisions made
And I’ll see it to the end
Crush my skull
Break my bones
Till they won’t mend
Again
Face-planting myself
(like I need some help)
Into the grindstone
I’m just etching off my face
A trade-off for the vice you chase
Everyday I'm cursing through this hell
Everyday I'm burning
Everyone can blame someone else
But this all falls on me
This is the cost
For living life my way
This is the cost
For the decisions made
And I’ll repent and regret
And realize that it’s all just the same
So I’ll see it to the end
Break my bones
Until they won’t mend
Now accept it
This is life
Or reject it
Push a bullet
Past the back of your eyes

Mine
02:57
|
|||
To whom I am dearly bound
Hear my inmost truths
You are my love…
Who drowns me in HATE
You are my strength…
WHO ENFEEBLES ME
You’re my refuge…
WHO EXHAUSTS ME
You are my light…
THAT BLINDS THE WAY
YOU ARE MINE
You are my love…
Who drowns me in hate
You’re my soulmate…
Who incompletes me
You are my choice…
That takes me over
You are mine

Walking forward
I find myself back again
To the place I swore
I'd never return
I'd act shocked
But where else
Would I end up
I never learn
I believe in delusions
I breathe in lies
You curse my presence
Yet you still
Hold me
Arms around my neck
Dying in this wreck
Doomed
I'm lost in the void
Till
I am destroyed
Cold
How can a lover's touch bring no warmth?
This mesh of flesh belies the hate
Purely carnal
Our souls' bond disintegrates
Ripping off my own skin
To escape your grip
But even at a distance
You keep me mentally sick
Sick
Puking
Shitting
Sick
Your embrace is lethal
This hug that brings no love
Every word spoke is deceitful
Placing a blade above
Me
The beheaded fool
I was just a fucking tool
Hold me
Kill me
Arms around my neck
Dying in this wreck
ARMS AROUND MY NECK
DYING IN THIS WRECK
Walking forward
I find myself back again
To the place I swore
I'd never return
I'd act shocked
But where else
Would I end up
I never learn
Years pass
My face has crumbled
Rotted away
No longer recognizable
Too far in decay
...yet you still hold me

There’s not a thin line
Between love and hate
They bleed together
They amalgamate
Into something of which
Words can’t even describe
Poisoning my blood
Stop-starting my heart
Corrupting my mind
Torturing my soul
Killing me from the inside
I’m crying out from the depths
The depths of whatever is left
I’ve fallen down to the dregs
The way I live
I might as well be dead
BE DEAD
Every waking moment
I feel your eyes
Boring through my skull
Followed by your evil smirk
Foaming with blackmail
Fatality lurks
With every step
I’m reduced to a slave
Pitiful
Inept
Or I can die my way
You can’t kill me
If I’m already dead
FUCK YOU
There’s not a thin line
Between love and hate
They bleed together
They amalgamate
I’m fingering the trigger
I’m seeing the end
I’m squeezing the trigger
I’ve become the end

Renascence
03:34
|
|||
Kill all emotion
Let logic dictate
What must be done
Eviscerate
All
Impaired hope
No influence
Internal renascence
Intently
My brain rearranges
Removing inutile thoughts
Pushing them out
Callously
My heart exchanges
The caustic love that I wrought
For an emotive drought
I’m leaving it all behind
The bitter anguish in the old design
I’m reclaiming my mind
A painful purge
As feelings diverge
I bleed
And scream
BLEED
&
SCREAM
And now
That I’m thoroughly numb
Healing has finally begun
So I bandage
My battered soul
We’re separated
But now I am whole
I bandage my soul
We’re separated
But now I am whole

Dragged
By the hooks in my skin
Unconsciously
Sporting a big shit-eating grin
As the metal runs through me
I cry out
But I’m just
Meat for another
Led to the slaughter
Throat cut
Upside down
There’s no feeling
There’s nothing left
None at all
Numbered to be exploited
A system of leeches
Swollen on stolen blood
Withered our bodies drop
But they can’t get inside of my mind
They can ravage my brain
But never my mind
NEVER MY MIND
And I’ll decide
When to give up my life
When to lay down and die
We run away
We run away forever
Inside ourselves
Where nothing else matters
We stay inside ourselves
Till we’re forced out of ourselves
Adrift in the cosmos
Birth to
Death to
Birth to
Death…
Tortured gratuitously
Divided and maligned
Manipulated
Into fratricide
Dragged
By the hooks in my skin
Unconsciously
Sporting a big shit-eating grin
As the metal runs through me
I cry out
But I’m just meat
Chop chop chop
All chopped up
Shorn and torn
To feed the beast
Cut cut cut
Busted guts
Threaded
Into the machine
The reality of Hell
It’s not after we die
It’s right now
LIVING HELL
WE LIVE IN HELL
We run away
We run away forever
Inside ourselves
We run away
We run away forever
Inside ourselves
Where nothing else matters
We stay inside of ourselves
Till we’re forced out of ourselves
Forever

Exorcism
04:57
|
|||
Down
In this miserable hole
Calamity carves my soul
Deep and slow
The knife goes
The hard serrated edge
Assures no relief
The hard serrated edge
Reminds me what I am
The whipping boy
Beat till I’m destroyed
Yet here I am still hanging on
Tired love that keeps staying strong
Despite everything that goes wrong
Exorcised through song
It’s the lies
With your eyes
It’s this mix
That kills me
Why am I still here?
WHY AM I STILL HERE?
For the parts of me
That mean more
Than anything
It’s the lies
With your eyes
It’s this mix
That kills me
Yet here I am still hanging on
Tired love that keeps staying strong
Despite everything that goes wrong
Exorcised through song
Cauterize the wound
REOPEN
Realize the futility
Accept that it’s never-ending
Cycle through the suffering
In my mind…
All thoughts on fire
In due time…
I’ll fall and falter
