Spring in my step
Antlers for my landing
Plague for an age
Schadenfreude for the masses
And so we carry on
until we become carrion
The only thing more futile than life
is the belief that it is anything but

Sadist In Denial
05:45
|
|||
|
Enmeshed within loathing,
Ensnared within loss,
Entangled in sadness,
Anguish per force
Burial silence
The curtains descent
Perpetual darkness
My prayers now misspent
Does your god decree a twisted meaning to it all
A sadist in denial
Another unheard scream
echoes deep inside
I cant allow release of the demon that resides
Never to untether the despair I hold within,
Though I feel its discordant voice
tearing through my skin
Deafened by the eternal barrage of silence
Trapped in self reproach
Smothered by the shroud
Asphyxiated by remorse
My guilt is now avowed
Shackled to the memory
of never seeing where you fell
As I begin this sentence
committed to this cell
Far beyond my gaze
Further still beyond my reach
Return to say goodbye
I beg and I beseech.
Does your god decree a twisted meaning to it all
A sadist in denial
You will know the pain I'm feeling

Black Bile Piss

Today is the day when it all comes down
today is the day when no mercy is spared
today is the day when justice is served
on a silver platter of blood and smashed teeth
I’ve swallowed my pride,
now you'll swallow my fist
As the voices inside
rage and persist
No longer submissive
Feel my hatred erupt
I'm not the cunt now
Its you who’ll be fucked
Open wide as I ejaculate
My black bile piss, my seed of hate
Today is the day when you'll fucking repent
but you'll soon realise that your prayers are misspent.
Today is the day that you’re brutally fucked
balls deep in your ass fucking up your guts
No longer submissive,
Feel my hatred erupt,
I'm not the cunt now,
Its you who'll be fucked
open wide as I ejaculate
my black bile piss, my seed of hate
my black bile piss, my seed of hate
Abrasive monologue,
Rancid skullfuck
These violent desires,
Release of my Ire
Blunt force fetish
Canine severance
Release of your life
Vitriolic reverence
12 gauge atonement
Head in a vice
Hacksaw castration
Judgmental slice
This mind rape fury
This smashed cranial bliss
Occular Gouging
Drowning in piss
These vile retributions
Will all come to pass
Pump action closure
Going straight up your ass

Pain
That never leaves your side
Pain
that follows all your life
Pain
the cruelest kiss goodbye
Pain
That cuts you like a knife
Dreaming of a better day
They told me it would come
Dreaming my life away
Waiting for the sun
Sheltered from the storm
Denying vortex grasp
Revive the beast within
And breach the thoughts that clasp
I must embrace the dark
to make the voices cease
uncloak the inner judge
allowing fear's release
Chasing a moment's pleasure
in a lifetime filled with pain
Chasing a moment's pleasure
In a lifetime filled with pain
Muted inquisition
Silenced train of thought
Bowing to contrition
Welcoming the onslaught
Cherish the pain
savour the pain
Embrace the pain
i yearn for the pain
I thrive off the pain
I live for the pain
Peace drives me on
motivation
The will to succeed
Pain outlives all
Some rise some fall
never submit
No longer shall i fall
As inner screams gestate
Acceptance now my guide
My strength shall liberate
You can try to hide away
but it will find you in the end
A blessing and a curse
Pain is your one true friend

Until Tomorrow
08:10
|

I long for the day just to see you again
To warm by the fire coming in from the rain
Rest my head upon your breast
Fixate upon your every breath
I long for the day when we don’t have to care
To live and be free of the horrors out there
Run my fingers through your hair
Place my lips upon your (head)
time standing still, as the Pendulum swings until tomorrow, until tomorrow
as the world sleeps outside, will we see the Sunrise until tomorrow, until tomorrow
holding onto, everything we once knew until tomorrow, until tomorrow
the bitter refrain, never to be the same until tomorrow, until tomorrow
Tomorrow never came….
Loneliness tears through my core
Is there a reason to it all
All I loved is dead and gone
Like a child ripped from the womb
Helpless in a brutal world
Devoid of nurture, love and trust
No one left to understand
No one left to guide my hand
So I’ll drift until tomorrow
Trying to find an opening
A Ray of light through endless storms of shit
Piss filled puddles Mark my path
Trying to find serenity
Constant white noise envelopes me
Pierce my eardrums, bind my eyes
Unrelenting march of time
Lost in endless apathy,
Labyrinthine end to be,
Suffocated
Is this all that's left for me?
Vortex of finality
Subjugated
Soul and sanity displaced
Control morality erased,
Incarcerated
Dweller now, Within the void,
Regression path to anthropoid
Subordinated
Drifting on an endless course
Head on collision, impact full force
Disorientated
Tomorrow is a fucking dream
Nothing ever what it seems
Tomorrow is a wretched curse
Every day, turn for the worse
Tomorrow is the death of hope
Tomorrow is the gift of rope
Bound by rules and conformity
Tomorrow your are never free
Tomorrow an uphill descent
Riddled with disappointment
Endless doubts, what might have been
Tomorrow means nothing to me

Dead Man's Stare
08:25
|
|||
|
bloodshot vista
impaired illusion
fragmented thoughts
reality’s scorn
Deafening silence
internal violence
bereft, I bleed
depleted and torn
dissolution
no restitution
final encore
the scythe bears my name
scream out loud
expel delusion
cold steel solution
or drown in this shame
desperate to feel
emotional white noise
The urge to connect
embedded deception, hardwired foe
distorted perception,
cruel status quo
neural defiance, cerebrally chained
denial of compliance,
fears unrestrained
Pulling me down
riptide ensnared
Anxiety onslaught,
I won’t be spared,
Futile resistance,
escape denied,
Iost to the battle, that rages inside
spirit broken
these words remain unspoken
the lies I hold within
karmic corrosion
rejection
dissection
serrated lies, berated prayer
contorted
distorted
enslaved behind this dead man's stare

And So We Carry On
09:17
|
|||
|
Spring in my step
Antlers for my landing
Plague for an age
Schadenfreude for the masses
And so we carry on
until we become carrion
The only thing more futile than life
is the belief that it is anything but
And so we carry on
waiting for a brief
moment of reprieve
from the constant grind
the endless slog
Numbing our brains with anything
that will grant us a brief moment of pacification
from our banal lives
our futile existence
And so we carry on
wallowing in nihilism
in the absence of God
we fabricate new purpose
Clinging to a cause
to justify our unimportance
ostracizing others to project our inner turmoil
to massage our fragility
with bloodied hands
So we carry on
And so we carry on
indulging in narcissism
portraying to the world
our plastic representation
of the hollow carcass
gutted for all the world to see
its offal barely palatable
I could tell you there's no hope
no point, no reason
but that might give you reason to believe
I'm lying
