Goodbye, Forever

I think that I'm going insane, my friends don't know me
Locked inside for fear of speaking
Its dangerous to want to belong this badly
But its too late
Its too late
'Cause the nightmares and the mind bending fear is setting in
And some of us are more than just a little weird
With no one to speak to and nowhere to go, I speak to myself as I stay where I am

Lung Foam
03:03
|
|||
|
Aggressive fits of lethargy; violent urges to pry open the earth
Mass graves for those not yet dead rotting through the water shed
Drowning in lung foam
Suffocation by peeling skin tissue from the roof of the mouth
Malefic visions of the occurrences which took place that May of 1994
Drowning in lung foam

Listening softly
A sleepless obsession that I am watched
Fingers glistening, they unseam the hillside
Flaying scorched earth
Their coats are the black starred sheet
Unraveling the truth in laughing damnation
Melting through the cracks of isolation
Passing through the gate
Pealing back the lids
I ruined you, and I want more
In the damp corner huddled too close for breath
A part of this place
The shadowed pattern in the back of the brain
Breathing in the bending walls
Where love has been scraps fed to the dog
Now that I have grown teeth, hate feeds me
Where is my prey

Spent lives lie in lye
Charcoal clouds trail behind
Squalling falls, screeching gales
Brushing back the scalding scales
Entombed within the sun-bleached stone
Smeared across the vision
Brushing, burning low set clouds
Spew forth as open mouths
My teeth tie to knots
There are no words
I dip my infinite arms into the clotted neon tide
By the heels of those I drag down with me I will lift my body
Self indulgent depression building nothing
Now less has become too much
I just won't know any world outside the self
I was born
I knew I was nothing in a still pond
As presence is relative and stimulus clots the bleeding mind
When this world is torn I could be so much more
In these ashes caked to my teeth is what you might have been had it not burned
I felt so small, but I've never been
Arms bleed from reaching through the shattered sill
I will cultivate this way to see the world

Shattered Psyche
04:43
|
|||
|
You don't know what to fear as it stands motionless
Violence is experienced in sudden final breathes
Every last word spoken has been said
Staring into light's end
Breaths curling past the neck as light shatters to sand
I am singular, separate from
Because I just can't have enough
Bow before my lung's cave
Crawl in with me
|

Merciless
03:35
|
|||
|
Deserving of retribution
Your shell will leak to gloss the grass and wet my jaded teeth
Biting back the words wriggling within this poisoned mind
From within you will become disassembled, dismembered
Stare into my teeth lest you begin to splinter and break
