TUMBLED NEST

I see sky, formless
Ashen
Save for a single crack
Shedding cold white light
My skin is shattered
Upon the ground
The crack bursts wide
An uncaring eye peers through
Dead, blinding fire
Scattered tangled
I do not understand who i am
Why I stain the earth
With blood and heat
I see sky, formless
Ashen
Save for a single crack
Shedding cold white light

STUMBLING THROUGH HAZE
08:15
|
|||
|
Wasting away
Another day I feel so lost
Unsure of my ways
Stunned in this stupor I remain
Confusion takes its toll
No solace no closure no peace I'm afraid
Stumbling through life in...
Doubtful of my ways
Unsure of my life and where I belong
Stumbling through life in haze
Tell me what you think
All my thoughts are yours to command and control
A slave to the ways of men
Who use fear for personal gain
There is no truth
Tell me where does the lying end
A puppet to the grave
Retarded hive mind catastrophe
I thought I wanted to know why I'm burning at the stake.
Why I question fucking everything and every move I make
I feel my fucking strides are making the world beneath me shake
I think I might be fearful if everything felt more than fake
I was looking for the answers
To the questions that have me stumbled in a daze
Will I ever rise above the clouds or rot here in the haze
Wise minds atrophy
Deprived reality
We breathe deceit to sate our needs
Cold hearts no entropy.
Robbed of identity
Pumped through our lungs
Until we wheeze
Hide our face in the haze
When truth is hard to face
We stumbled blindly into the maze
Labyrinth of ecstasy
Store away your decency
We seek only blood to quench the seeds.
When the truth is hard to face
We hide our faces in the haze
We seek deceit to sate our needs

COLD TANGLED FINGERS
09:15
|
|||
|
Concrete heart
Roots from my feet
Eyes looking down to hell
Hair of rot
Soul of naught
A once beating heart rusted
Blood of mold
Wounds untold
Knees broken beneath the weight
Self paralyzation
I did this to myself
Life barely lingers
To my COLD TANGLED FINGERS
Clasping my gravestone
Choked by rain
Hands reaching from the heavens
I ignore
Sinking into my coffin
What else could I have done
Gored by fate, led astray
(This is my doing)
True regret takes hold
God help me now
Entombed in bones and guts
Choking sorrow
A light, eternally blinding
Hands reaching towards the sky
A moment of strength
I accept the pain
This pain is all fucking mine

IN FILTH
05:53

Look inside
Deep in the cesspool
Of the unconscious
I find my heart
Moldy and gray
The shadow of me
Crushed in between
Through the muck and pain I descend
The light I ignore
To the depths I explore
Embracing the fear
Swallow me whole
Rather than live as a cold dead man
I've chosen to die and return
In filth it will be found
Breathing tunnels
I crawl through
Retracing the steps
Seeking the seed of my doom
...still I search
Drowning in murk
It all goes black
The cave of my mind
No longer intact
…still I search
Breathless in fear
Suffocating for a chance to live
Shredded by the thing I let slip by
No longer do I grasp to life
With these COLD TANGLED HANDS
Letting go I descend
I descend in
Filth
Deep in this hole
I've lost all hope
I take every fiber of my being
And fashion the rope
will it drag out my body
Leading my soul in tow

MEMORY OF SUNLIGHT
00:38
|

|
laying in darkness, my fall from above
descending for eons, i can’t remember the sun
my breath squeezed out my body undone
my collapsing lung heard faintly by none
|
||||
7. |

|
Piercing green eyes stare
Into the abyss
A broken body lays here
A life now remiss
Choking on bloody lungs
Words a faint hiss
I close the chapter
As the light fades dim
An ending I have always feared
If I'm gonna die
I'll die anywhere but here
So I lead myself blindly
Into the darkest parts of me
A story told a thousand times
Hardly worth the words repeat
I feel the road I've traveled on
Has robbed me of my strength
An anxious brain thoughts cyclical
As I start to bleed
The blood begins to blister
As the matter starts to flake
A stem convulsed the beating heart
While the limbs are sent to break
The fragment of my heals
Become the dust before my grave
I will run until i find the light
Of a sun that starts to fade
Slam my feet onto the ground
Until I feel I’m worth saving
When that day never comes
I won’t find another way
I'll let my bones wither
While my soul decays
Trapped in this hole
I've found some hope
Stagnation has ruined my life
Blinded I only see light
I've toiled in place
And wept through my skin
Failure to live
My ultimate sin
Paradise
Suffering
One in the same
Triumph
Pain
I am what remains
Frantic green,
Painting my eyes
Cloaked in noise
Completely lost
Ambitions
Will clot and fade
Smears of ash
On the path
I'll run, til my
Lungs fill with blood
I'll die so close
To refuge
Panicked mind
Numb, thudding feet
Choose to run
I choose the sun
I choose to run
I chose to run
Chose the sun
Ever burning
Breathless
I broke
I run forever
Changed

JOY
07:05

Everyday was a struggle
Then I thought I was free
What happened to do well and come up?
I guess it’s not meant for me
Just when I thought I could breathe
I felt the vines ensnare
I guess it’s the wrong kind of ivy
God knows I'm not getting there
So what does it take
To finally feel alive?
How long must I run in place
To feel a shred of joy?
I’m living my best life
Or so you tell me
So wrapped up in the dream that you sold me
Indiscriminately
We’ve been cast aside
Told only tall tales
Meant to keep us in line
We’ve grown sick of the lies
Work hard or starve son
Some things can’t be undone
We’ve starved once we’ll starve again
We’d rather be famished
Than fed on fallacies
Lead me between
This life and this daydream
Where I may go to rest
Or die here sleeping
Let the vines collapse
Around my larynx
My lungs can’t relax
But my hope tears in
My lungs can’t relax
But my hope tears in
At the threshold
Of a life turned upside down
We’ve been given the keys
To a burning house
So quench the fires
Or watch it burn
We’ve grown so desperate
Of the life we’ve yearned
So quench the fires
Or watch it burn
So what the fuck does it take
To finally feel alive
How long must I run in place
To feel a shred of joy
How long should I fake
To keep this alive
That eyes full of shit
Wont beg to go blind
We won’t beg!
