1.
I died years ago before you met me Drowned in promises and guarantees A rancid birth, a fucked up choice Be with me my only voice Never got to know her Never knew the truth And on the day she died I did too Empty thoughts rot Help me fall Empty thoughts Help me fall Asleep Telephone poles, broken glass Hospitals, accidents Waiting Grinding teeth I died years ago Drowned in promises A rancid choice Be with me my only voice I could have triеd I should have been there I should havе tried
2.
Swallow my world Watched the blade slice through my skin Extremities spit blood unto the ground Through bandages too thin To deal with agony too proud Pure white walls Throbbing veins How long will My blood drain No mans land Nowhere, man No mans land
3.
I am just a lowly worm Grasped in the mouth of a majestic bird From under the dirt I was pulled And in her beak I’m firmly held Oh, shit I relax in this new cocoon Her beak my earth, my earth no more This creature must love and care for me To pull me from that sacred soil Worms will never sing like birds I was never meant to make a sound And worms will never sing like birds But I was yet enough for her To find me in this soiled ground Why does my body still squirm When dissected by her perfect beak This creature was misunderstood Shallow as her desired needs
4.
I remember the night He means nothing to me He means nothing to me She screamed I can tell my own distress My heart drops with every breath I let out My stomach churning worms Anxious, aching I have no fear for what comes next Her words flow like waves from ear to ear I don’t know you anymore I no longer starve for your love Let me drown, I don’t care Let me drown, I don’t care I don’t care Let me drown
5.
Goddamn You left my head to break Rotting Inside your dismal world Hatred Is what I feel for you Hurting Inside you fucking lies Disappointment Rears its ugly head Everything I want you to think of me as Is nothing you will ever be The disappointment in your eyes is deafening
6.
He watches me Like a killer Stalking the night I feel his eyes upon me I can tell He is ready The knife it pierces me It lands, it sticks, it twists In my side, in my back I can feel his cold hands around my throat Life pours out of my wounds I awake Enlightened through violence Fragile bones and tired flesh Brutality imagined
7.
The cold ground Crumbles in my hands In this ground I have found Remnants of life Her spirit echoes close The words of greater men This burning cloth and oak Memories veiled in smoke In the night She came to me while you were dying In the night, in the night In her arms I wept for you through trembled sighing Reprieve my sense and sight To bury To cast the stones of ill intent To lay to rest To rid the gruesome To hate, to yearn To cave to your urge The sounds forgotten The pain, torment abounds I will not stand For what lesser men have done Bow down, bare the shun
8.
I carve these words for no one On the pages of my skin Betrayal flames and constant Do it You’ll feel better End your pain Time is the hardest thing to let go of Every day I fight Struggling, succumbing Every day I fight A suicide of reason Uncertain object Release yourself Fundamental sympathy I do not know the extent I will Sacrifice my only form Sacrifice my only form I will sacrifice my form Sacrifice my only form A sacrifice of form The altar already adorned I sacrifice my form My altar already adorned
