Swallow the cure The Pharmaceutical solution Asphyxiated by the trauma made flesh by my hands A small escape Too little too late In a sterile room the future gestates Benzodiazepine Nothing is what it seems Sever my lifelong dreams Dissecting all I’ve have seen Drowning in a sea of chemicals Calcify my insight vision, Impotent, Docile, conditioned Great nepenthe, reason’s noose Opiate of sorrows ruse Calcify my insight vision, Impotent, Docile, conditioned If I ever wanted to tear myself in two I always knew that I could count on you If I ever wanted to use you in defense I always knew you’d strip away all sense Complex, Delusional Erase all the emotional Thought transgressor Ovoid seal There is nothing I want to feel If I ever wanted to live a normal life, That’s been discarded. forgotten Goodbye.

High Anxiety 04:57
Labyrinth of complex neuroses Tapestry of barb wired dreams Clockwork thoughts lament the midnight hour Shadows return, advance upon my tower Icy fingers move across the lips Fingertips preclude the Judas kiss Inching closer, elegance of fallen gods Your breath meets mine, foreclosing all my odds Enfold around my essence slow Make me move Make me speak Make me know I’m just too weak Fill my mouth with the ashes of my song Pin back the lids of my eyes and show me where I’ve wronged Why? It isn’t like our bonds were ever broken Not like words ever needed to be spoken No need for games, pretentious masks All you ever had to do was ask Whisper words of love into my ears The siren song unchanged all down the years Absolute, un equivocated solace lost Finite days wasted years eternal albatross Pressure mounts upon my chest Like smoke Pulling air from my lungs under heavy duress Across my back around my waist My love, You move with effortless grace There is no way for me to sever Addictive, self destructive pleasure Endless stalemate, locked embrace Unable to swallow the other’s face There is no way for me to escape There is no peace that awaits Endless stalemate, locked embrace Unable to swallow the other’s face Fucked to pieces Fucked to dust Coiled in everlasting lust Toy with me Placate me Rearrange my symmetry God is dead, and I am she The only one to ever be Is me. I’ll be your Satan I’ll be your Christ I’ll be your blood drenched suicidal device You aren’t alone Caressing hands You taste my lips on your pineal gland I’ll be your Satan I’ll be your Christ I’ll be your blood drenched suicidal device You are alone My devotee Reflection of all that has ceased to be There is no time for me to behold I am the slave and I’ve been sold Endless Stalemate locked embrace Waiting my whole life to end this chase

Monotheist 04:19
Forsaken future Bitter the taste of the trance A narcissistic, fucking arrogant faith in the flesh Assembled effigies Ascend chromatically Expanding viscous shapes Ignites as sorrow, burns as hate Obsidian is the color of all my thoughts Deconstructing worlds Frozen winds unfurled The metamorphosis has begun Nothing can be said, nothing can be done Burn the temples, raze them all Let the putrid steeple fall Tetragrammaton design has failed In this kingdom, sorrow prevails Graven image, anathema to truth Impudent wanderings of my youth Behold the god, so bittersweet To see him dying at my feet Monotheist- I pledged my heart to you Everything pure Everything true A trust to swallow mountains laid to waste Torn from your arms cast from your grace I should have known, I know you well You promise heaven, yet bestow hell Monochromatic Messiah schematic Confusion dogmatic Your “love” is synthetic Perception polluted My senses diluted My future disputed So convoluted Your promises DEAD Wasted all that I have bled Monotheist- I pledged my heart to you Everything pure Everything true A trust to swallow mountains laid to waste Torn from your arms cast from your grace I should have known, I know you well You promise heaven, yet deliver hell Monotheist- I lost everything to you Everything pure Everything true A trust to swallow mountains laid to waste Illusions grand artificial grace I should have known I know you well You cast deceit perpetual

Zughenruhe 05:44
Now I hear the sound Arms outstretched and eyes stormbound Consistent It beckons me Growing louder by degrees Invade my bloodstream Occupy my every thought Illuminating everything I’ve ever sought Ghostly transmission Creeping through my DNA Like shadows on the trees Hurts so bad I feel diseased Incessant siren deep inside its deafening The naked scream of tattered wings Clutch of whispers night to day Instincts I cannot betray Winged migration, passion play Spring forth avian vertebrae ZUGHENRUHE The call that will not let me go Learned all that I need to know Consumed in rays of indigo Feel so primitive Intuition pure and clear Nothing to forgive Nothing left to fear As Prometheus Bestows his gift of holy flame Thus I am Adorned in feathers I became A thief to steal a torch from the divine To dispel the darkness of my mind Now I hear the sound Arms outstretched and eyes stormbound Consistent It beckons me Growing louder by degrees Invade my bloodstream Occupy my every thought Illuminating everything I’ve ever sought Ghostly transmission Creeping through my DNA Like shadows on the trees

Fragments 04:51
Fragmented, obscured A culling of words Into recessed sub consciousness I’m falling Primal shift to balance Caress to talons Serpentine Dissimulation of the ego boundaries And here is your perch On oldest of birch Cocooned in defense From words of offense Owl and lion as one Engulfed in the sun Cavalcade of secret treasures Surpassing all measure Seems to me lately, words are your test Gauging my actions and words from the rest “Nothing stays sacred, no secrets kept” Concealed intentions with brambles adept I wonder what horrors befell your past To make you so distant, so cold and downcast I offer no struggle, no struggle you give. No words of harsh judgment On the life that you live Fragment perceptions Weary companion Like a child I confide: Is thou the river, or is thou the tide? Bear the wanting of my future life? Or a relapse to my former lies? Holding secret words close to your chest? Or does no heart beat warm within your breast? Experimenting in futility? Or proof of life in mystery? Fragmented memories scattered and strewn Come into focus then flee all too soon All I hold sacred, no secrets I keep No longings for god or a faith or belief So lucid my conscience, so clear is my sight Held onto my essence in the face of this blight And as the glass shattered, fragments pierced my skin I did not submit I would not let you win No one will rule me, or the shards of my mind Its all I have left but it all still is mine Jigsaw discernment my memories be Putting the pieces together for me From ashes of old the new shall grow strong Never forgetting this terrible song Migrate from this wasteland as birds flying south Remembering always the taste of blood In My Mouth

I’ve got hatred in my heart and I can’t let it go Forever coursing through me, intensity, all that I know You are the source, you are the architect With your lies, cold pretense, and the promises you never kept Hand outstretched for friendship then I learned all the truth Oppressive, possessive, abusive, selfish youth Cold talons of reality tear my skin you are an abomination Cower in your excrement, writhe in your shame Mouthful of acid wouldn’t be enough pain You weep of heartbreak, god I hope that its true I’ve never met anyone with less value then you Honor and loyalty are foreign to your mind You choose yourself, and you’ll leave all else behind You fucking lowlife, Ill snatch the life out of you This is what ill do! And its what you deserve! It’s what you deserve Motherfucker It’s what you deserve Let your blood flow upon me Malignant thoughts give purpose to clenched fists On your knees before me, bound at the wrist A Malevolent imagination Bloodthirsty machinations Dedicated hands on my visceral means To fill this room with a chorus of your screams Consuming fire, crimson red You’ve pushed me beyond hatred I Judicator of your flesh All your nightmares coalesce You Will suffer for your crimes Die When I decide its time Beg for mercy, scream my name Your eyes plucked out your limbs are maimed You pushed too far, you wore me thin Now I relieve you of your skin

Outstretched my hand, you pushed away Into a den of vipers I have strayed And with the ignorance of a child Allowed my heart to be beguiled Reprise a song I’ve sung before Lamenting possibilities, stillborn The irony is not lost on me You Lament the lock while you hold the key I’ve tasted fear and loneliness And Self indulgent emptiness Sardonic mooring to ideals That bite as wolves upon the heels This sensation felt is much the same.. Upon yourself you cast all blame And without judgment, no pitied breath The scent on you is one of death I watch the words creep across your skin Persist in soft exhales Most delicate of ripening hymns That move in blossomed trails Through mirrors pale, through mildewed eyes My Reflection froze, then multiplied Engineer of fate, sculptor of distant stars Prismatic darkness reflects the scars Beneath the tree Our hallowed tryst Enveloped in carnivorous mist There your bloody lips I kissed There our agony desists Catastrophe and entropy Waves of sorrow move through me Cold expanse like frozen seas Brings my heart down to its knees My love my all My love, my fall Moving past the sound of screams Reverberating through our dreams Gods and Demons stand blasphemed Consciousness in force supreme Enduring caress of my ages past: Another life where we could make this last Through walls, even as we are slipping away No matter where you go, this is where I’ll stay I watch the tears creeping down your face Crystalline adorned Covenant of blood is all I taste As our senses turned to thorns No conclusions, no beginnings after all Infinity reflected through mirrors And through walls
