A Wound That Never Heals

ragged and torn
scraps of me
tattered and rancid
threads of reality
fragment pieces
of a mismatched whole
fall apart
from the weight of being
a wound
that never heals
constantly bleeding
within me
scabs and clots
of who I used to be
without the scar tissue
am I even real?
I've been this way so long
I can't remember peace
what does it mean
to be painless and free
who is the person
buried beneath the broken flesh
or is only darkness left
deep within the wreck?
scabs and lesions
always bleeding
endless tides of pain
never receding
there is only so much
that one life can take
before the walls collapse
with no room left to breath
a shell of skin and bone
holds a mind beyond repair
the person once inside
slowly drowned beneath despair

Accelerant
04:02
|
|
||
|
Burning inside
with a pain I can't contain
Consuming darkness
Never ending
Always growing
Surging terror
Afraid to lose control
What if I can't hold back
The all consuming pain
Can't remember
what it's like
To feel
Any kind of peace
Gnawing pain
Always at the edge of sight
Haunted by the dark
Until the day I die
The human race
Is accelerant to the pain
Living day by day
Only fuels the flames
Forcing
The rage down again
If I let it go
The hate will never end

The darkness
that stains us all
Seeps out
From inside
Moldered By our inner fears
It knows us
Better than we know ourselves
The darkness
That makes us who we are
Knows where we keep our secrets
Buried deep inside
It nestles in the pit
And grows within
The lies we tell ourselves
The darkness
That stains us all
Permeates
Every living cell
It flows from our mouths
Thick and hot as tar
Every time we speak
Slow breath
Clouds the cold air
Fingers numb
Around the cold wet blade
Realisation or
A lack of conviction
I wish I had the spine
To kill myself

Enemy
04:41
|
|
||
|
There is nowhere left to go
All defenses are overrun
Cold wounded and alone
Waiting for the end to come
Shivering heavy cold dark
Embracing final moments of life
Trace the blade along the skin
Push cold metal further in
Wait
Don't go
Don't leave this all behind
Life is not the enemy
Wait
Don't go
Analyze those thoughts
The enemy comes from within
On and on
War without end
On and on
Internal apocalypse
On and on
War without end
On and on
One of us will die

Punishment
03:48
|
|
||
|
Time will
devour you
Swallow you whole
chew you up
spit you out
Time will
drown you
wash you away
erode you
see you decay
Punish me
Time will
Smash you to dust
trample your works
Time is remorseless
Time does not care about you
I have wasted
So much time
|

Routine
04:24
|
|
||
|
The inefficient human mind
Cannot cope
With the structured routine of everyday life
Grinding you down to dust
Filter the ashes
Through the city grid
To remove all trace of humanity
Routine assimilation
Routine hive mentality
Routine assimilation
You are apart in a vast machine
You're not a person
Just another cell
In the technorganic master brain
All your efforts to build a life
Are futile
You have no future
Play your part and never question
You are a drone
Thought is misery
Find your comfort in monotony
You were born to serve
The great collective minority
Accept in submission
Bow down to the routine
Accept and submit

Wires
04:09
|
|
||
|
Wire steel and flesh
Concrete slabs and mesh
I cannot see a fate
Where life is free of pain
Inside my own head
The blades are always sharp
I shed my useless skin
Transcend the prison of flesh
Outside of time and space
Post life is painless
I have reached my final step
Beyond my flesh I am free
Outside of life and death
Time means nothing to me

Vengeful Eye
06:32
|
|
||
|
I am my own worst enemy
Everything I am generates my own misery
Failure is my basic state
Life collapses around me
Sealing my thoughts
Into a mental cage of my own design
Under the vengeful eye
Blistering in defeat
Under the vengeful eye
Complicit in my own misery
Scrutinise my actions
To the infinite degree
Every single choice I make
A mistake that breed more misery
I will never be free
Until I'm dead and gone
The vengeful eye is watching me
I will never be free
Until I'm dead and gone
The vengeful eye is inside of me
I am my own worst enemy
But now at the end
I will finally have peace
Now at the end
