Long has it been since I've drained all my sanity Fingernails snap as I claw at my brain Carved through the membranes, beyond my cortex Can't remember what it's like to be sane Misery spills forth, overpowering me I need this torment released My mind's threads unravel endlessly Self worth deteriorates and depletes I am not alone A ghost still haunts my home From my doorstep I still feel it in my bones The piercing phantom's moan Begging me to reap what I've sown

S'morcery 02:41
Genocide - cities occupied to fuel the delusion Memoirs of the past discarded and replaced with mere illusions Spiritual suicide to despise in the name of who you confide Genesis of lies - abide by the book and follow its guide Waste of life normality When invoked by a deity Entity of bigotry Controlling your destiny Anomaly of fallacies Bound to infinite secrecy Enslaving young minds but tell them they're free In fear, thoughts tremble convulsively Fleshless, formless Existence distorted When all is said and done His word will kill everyone Pendulum swaying rapidly Sands of your hourglass slowly slip Tantalized by each stroke Blood grows thinner drip by drip

Yellow 04:53
A shell of flesh, often gone unnoticed Frantically strewn with pulsating nerves Malformation of consciousness lacked of purpose Constantly flooded with something in which to be concerned Pointless tasks for a meaningless existence Desperate to claw onto any thread of reason The efforts lost - I have nothing to believe in Who am I? I am no one A face to pass you by While you were staring at the sun Hidden in the shade Of other's "success" All ambition fades Beneath the excess Who are you? You are no one too A person gazing through The endless haze of gloom Seeking anything To make a mark I'll be waiting for you here Within this frigid dark

Sores fester and quiver Felt lucid and late Moments went by I call waste Just faded feelings that come with wait Years lost to a day Impossible to glimmer through their haze Washed away from shores brought to a boil Forcing shallow hearts into shallow soil You said it yourself, "I've made up my mind. I've got to get away from you and live a different life!" Why? Seductive memories so slowly subside with time... July rains staining old skin from winds blowing change Memories remain the moments fragmented deep in my brain I gave you my all, you took it in vain The void in my being was getting far too hard to sustain I look to the room that we both grew up in Back when we met, I had no regret, you were my best friend So many feelings flood me when I think of back then I once dreamt of us, before the distrust and disgust for what's so fucked in your head I felt your love once again but only in a dream It burnt out to smoke and ash as fast as it had came to me When the cinders cleared from my vision I could finally see What you felt was not for me but for what you wanted me to be

What the hell do you want from me I've got a ghost on my back - that's not hyperbole The tension won't stop increasing Steam is rising to the ceiling, dissipating feeling There's a demon in my body Disconnecting myself from the rest of reality It sears at my will with flames It has it's clutch on my brain with unbreakable chains (Nick Hanian:) The ghost on my back tells me things and it won't leave me be It provokes me to combat everything in my life that has any meaning For fucks sake, I feel it's hate I feel it's hate for me It haunts me endlessly with it's chaos and heartbreak and misery Burdened and weeping, I only want some relief I just want it out, I want it released, I just want a moment of peace

Amebic infestation keeps the victims controlled Engorged in eukaryotes as their mutation unfolds The symbiotic illness spreads more and more A primordial entity has alas been restored They see right through your flesh as you hold your breath With eyes widening only seeking your death They came from the cosmos to erase mankind Replacing us with clones without any signs The smoke billows from the stone Beyond Saturn storms it finds its new home Aquatic phagocytosis consumes the leaves Cystic growth - harbinger of overcoming disease Cellular reformation dissolves you as you sleep Constructing a new being as the old one depletes Absorbing endlessly, it's only reasons to breed Methodically calculating the next pile of meat Evolve beyond the human form Fuse with the plant to be anatomically reborn A new type of life spawns as you hatch Devoid of feeling, looking for more bodies to snatch

Divide Cleaving space and time A paralytic nail through my mind Suppress the thoughts to live and just let die Embrace growing distant - black hearts liquefy Ending the replaying thoughts of suicide Into the nosedive so frequently synthesized Too little too late, no time to say Goodbye Noose, end these games Dissolve all the memories that drive me insane Again - the feelings in waves Can't get them out, I am their slave Replay - continuing to my grave The crack in the road is too wide to repave I want to see past the gates Maybe in hell I can dispel the pain
