Metaphorical imagery you cannot see
Visualise the words imagine it perfectly
I exist in a cosmic unravelling
Wondering forth without life or stability
I find myself at the edge of eternity
Looking back at the world that has moulded me
Moving forward as time passes through me
Fall into the depths, Hold my breath, Start the journey
This journey, Full of love
Undeserving, I don't belong
I reach back to pull the plug
But the distance grows and I'm stuck in mud
I break free of what I've become
Still I choose to follow the sun
I see the exit vanish in blood
I'm engulfed in fear but I will not run
I walk amongst the tombstones
A place that once called my throne
While the dead claw at my frailty
Peeling off the flesh that is rotting
These strings I'm in
Knotted in a life of sin
Still I dream of a pure place
Burning beneath endless hate
Dead eyes turn to black
God's lips begin to crack
The blood leaking out glazes me in death
I will find my answers when this journey ends.
Torment rises through the dead
They march in unison
Knowing I'm not one of them
They beg me to stay but I wont conform to it
Here I stand with the victims of misery
Lifeless, Soulless, Given into defeat
Knowing full well that I helped them bleed
Still I contribute maliciously
I walk amongst the tombstones
A place I once called my throne
While the dead claw at my frailty
Peeling off the flesh that is rotting
Corruption seeps into my bones
Letting me know it found it's way home.
The dead speak of my agony
Feeding off the flesh that is rotting
Given a chance I'll do it again.
Repair it all and tear it to shreds
For the circle of life will never end
A cycle of lost innocence
The psyche bleeds on blades of knives
While perception is moulded by time
Born again as I'm skinned alive
Beyond the empty sky
Where ghosts have no tears to cry
I approach the end
With nothing left
Just my final breath
My journey descends
Filled with dread
One with the dead
One with the dead
This is my final resolve
I am nothing, I am changing, I am too far gone
What is left of my soul
Corrupted by the taste of the demons involved
Peel back all of my flesh
Expose all that is left

The Mouth of Hell

The demons howl
Within my mouth
Bathing on my tongue now
It will bleed out
Scriptures of hell
Those now reading
Hear my screeching
Decipher it's meaning
It is seething
Beyond the seams
Beneath my feet
The ground opens up revealing teeth
Before the eyes of god it speaks to me
Succubus of dreams
Alluring the hate that was born within me
Seducing me to look what lies beneath
And now I find myself
Looking at the depths wondering about the screams from hell
I see it finally
It chews on meat until the bones release
Drinking blood so blissfully
Sadistic design in masochistic seams
I try to hide
It is never too far behind
I finally look upon it's eyes
Within a hole where the memories die
It digs me a grave
A place where my bones remain
It begins inhaling my pain
Drinking the misery
Welcoming hate
It swims in my mind
Breaking my spine
My life will decline.
I become everything I wish I could fight
I dwell in the hate even though it's not right
I can never outrun
What I've become
When it runs in my blood
Come to accept I know nothing of love
It doesn't exist but who am I to judge
I see it finally
It chews on meat until the bones release
Drinking blood so blissfully
Sadistic design in masochistic seams
The hate creeps upon me
I feel inside begging for release
I try to rip it away
It digs in deep with It's claws and teeth
The evil crawls into my mind
Telling me I am the parasite
I ignore it's whispers but I can't deny
The lust for torment always satisfies
The cruelty, Of man
In the birth water where I began
Always apart of the plan
Bury it until it resurfaced again
It's always
Clawing at the flesh
Twisting what is left
Begging for my final breath
It's always
Clinging to my pride
Looking through my eyes
Shaping life into a lie
The stench of misery always surrounds
It peels my flesh as I hear it growl
The demon calls from where it dwells
Speaking in tongues behind the teeth in the mouth of hell
It tells me in death there is no way out
The soul belongs to heaven but the body is reserved for hell
It waits for me to embrace the sound
Of maggots breeding beneath my flesh eating me from the inside out
They begin feasting on my mind
They take away my soul in the mist of the blackest night
It's a feeling that I can't describe
See it in my tortured eyes
Understand the pain of life

Of Human Depravity

In a pitch black fate
I end up in this place full of decay
Crowds of fiends
Paying to see
Endless screams from my withered being
I plead
The red room is not what it seems
It doesn't provide the answers that you seek
Still they ignore my agony
Force nails through my feet
I grit my teeth in suffering
And here I find myself
In a contraption of hell
There is a man tied down opposite to me
We are forced to compete relentlessly
He screams
And pleads
That we
Shouldn't obey what they say
We are tortured into submission
Forced to play this sickening game
This place a living hell
No hope, No life, No doubt
We take turns pulling teeth from our rotten mouths
Pain measured in units for the crowd
They watch
Until
The end
Hoping to see our deaths
But they won't get nothing from it
Just entertainment through dopamine hits
We are pawns subjected to misery
Our only worth is our agony
I see humans
No humanity
Fiends giving in to depraved insanity
Manically they watch suffering happening
The blades come out
WIth the cheering from the crowd
Slowly we remove the flesh from where it's usually found
The screams are so loud
Everyone is so proud
Reluctantly we tear the ligaments from our bones out.
Despair comes to find me again
Amidst all the agony I feel before death
Humans are ever so sickening
Depraved creatures indulging in suffering
They can't escape what leads them into this place
A hidden pleasure that exists beneath their peaceful gaze
I bleed into a cup so they're satisfied
Stripping flesh from my impulsive life
A servant of pain in this moment of time
I take the knife and start to sever ties
Cutting the throat of my opponent
To gracefully spare him the fight
We are pawns subjected to misery
Our only worth is our agony
I see humans, No humanity
Fiends giving in to depraved insanity
Manically they watch suffering happening
Dragged before a pit of fire
They engulf two strands of wire
Piercing them into my eyes
Melting out the whites
Blisters formulate inside
Blinded but I can see the life
Draining out of my melted eyes
Punishment for my sacrifice
Sparing the pain of another has led to this hateful demise
Humans are ever so sickening
Depraved creatures indulging in suffering
They can't escape what leads them into this place
A hidden pleasure that exists beneath their peaceful gaze
A colosseum of sorts
The crowd begs for death and they get what they want
But they know nothing of the pain I've absorbed
They overwatch with pleasure as I suffer the sword
I am fearless
I become a corpse
The blade crushes through my spinal cord
Still I know only of the pain I've absorbed
I leave this life I no longer adore
Moments after death I can hear them rave
Pleasured sexually by the torment they crave
My headless body twitching within it's grave
Burning my remains as they celebrate
Finally the torment leaves me
I now surrender completely
Finally the torture leaves me
I can escape, eternity
Finally the sickness leave me
Giving into complete serenity
Finally the savages free me
I walk into death
So freely

A Cockroach in the Dirt

Imperfect design
Brought into the light so we cannot deny
Flawed creatures always unwilling to fight
No point in it all when we know of our kind
Ashamed of our lives
I see them bury it so my hatred will rise
I wish I could pressure my finger
Pull the trigger
Eradicate all of human life
No excuses No lies
The nihilist breathes it was always I
I know I'm sick in this tortured mind
But I can't escape all I feel on the inside
So I embrace all it provides
Knowing full well utter hate would come into my life
I wish I could pressure my finger
Pull the trigger
Eradicate all of human life
There's always an ugly side
If we knew what's under our flesh we would be crucified
The sickness can't be purified
Stained on our being like symbiote or parasite
Denial is a way to thrive
Seen it all my fucking life
It feeds the hell we keep inside
Until the day that we eventually realize
We aren't perfection but incomplete until we die
Until we phase out
I am unsatisfied
Filled with doubt
I don't believe that we could ever repel
From our corruption that leaks into this hell
Until we phase out
I am unsatisfied, filled with doubt
The creatures that crawl start to rape themselves
Rot fills the air I inhale the smell
I'm a cockroach within the slime
Been this all my fucking life
Observing pain chained to time
In the gutter you can see the crime
Constantly dodging footsteps that will end your life
Observing hate in every form
Watching from the corners because no knows that I'm born
All I hear is the humans scream and mourne
A sound smothered out by the piercing of the thorn
In the light of day
Amongst filth and decay
You can find me wandering feeding off scraps as I observe everything
They bleed within the light
No one blinks
No one cries.
They suffer within time
As decay consumes the mind
Until we phase out, I am unsatisfied, filled with doubt
I don't believe that we could ever repel
From our corruption that leaks into this hell
Until we phase out
I am unsatisfied, filled with doubt
The creatures that crawl start to rape themselves
Rot fills the air I inhale the smell
Until we phase out
I am unsatisfied, filled with doubt.
Nihilistic tendencies within my mouth
I chew them down but can't spit them out
Until we phase out
I am unsatisfied, filled with doubt
Born of hate it became myself
I worship the place you all fear to dwell
But who am I to speak
A mere cockroach in the dirt
All I know suffering
But who am I to speak
A mere cockroach in the dirt
I deserve nothing
But who am I to speak
A mere cockroach in the dirt
A creature so disgusting
But who am I to speak a mere cockroach in the dirt
I believe in something
The world I see
Once a part of broken dreams
Watch the world become unclean
Validated by false beliefs
This cockroach will die
Leave behind a stain of life
Infecting those of fragile minds
Sickness spreads, Globalised

Hypoxia

Pessimism begins to thrive
Lost inside optimistic minds
You'll see in the end we aren't worth the fight
Behold a pointless existence
Just chaos undeciphered
As the cruelty arrives it's humans to burn in the hands of the righteous
In time you'll suffer
Know of hate
Know of pain when it finds its place.
Know that people aren't what they seem
Nurture versus nature
A fallacy
Experience a pain you can't return from
It breaks the mind like a motherfucking curbstomp
Take your time in the place you observe from
Watch the world burn when the light starts to turn off
Know in the end the darkness breeds
In the minds of those who are suffering
