Intentions left unfulfilled Representations surround my being The abstractions of a former self Shelved in the corners of my mind Tainted and rusted with intent Prolonged thoughts, a dying martyr Feeble prayers into the sky Falling on the ears of a forgotten god Never to exist Never to speak Layers of time shall formulate A being crafted in shadows Outside the circle of contempt One with thyself An oath to uphold Humanity's burden Fragmented within a soul The shards that bleed me internally Reaping forth the most foul Bleeding me dry Into a shell of hell's creation
2.
What can be said to unveil the face of wrath How much blood can be shed to justify a cause Time spent alone contemplating an end A shroud of deception, the diminishing of hope How much more, an ode to the helpless To cut a reaching hand, no sacred blood poured The trauma will abound in the minds of empathy The forgotten voices, forever disregarded Earnestly in search of the means to escape Calloused beyond compassion, deceptive voices scream Silent by choice, against this ill intent Shadows looming over, complacent in stability Personify this hatred
3.
Knees bent on a hardened floor Gravity takes a hold Staring into the water As the body takes control The balance of the mind Extracting the sickness Purging the will to repair This crushing sense Rationality Rejection of the senses Stability denied Retching forth the pain Acidity burns the throat The taste that haunts the mind Sitting here in isolation Cloaked in sheets for warmth Concentration Fleeing from the body To pull thyself together In a quiet hell of self Left to recover As the blood rushes to the head Chaos takes control No strain of resistance To break this heaving cycle
4.
Tormented by the cold that haunts me in my dreams Shivering chills reminds me I'm alive Hardened by nature, her grasp embedded deep Recalling to me all that I have lost The passing season, a look back in time Shifting in ways I can't comprehend Oh how I loathe, oh how I hate The cold will dismember at sanity's wake Carve into me your visions of hated Licking my wounds, sealing my fate Die here with me in winter's last kiss Oh how I loathe, oh how I hate The cold will dismember at sanity's wake Carve into me your visions of hatred Licking my wounds, sealing my fate Cling to me tightly as I rob you from warmth One moment more in the chill of the moonlight Bound by regret on this cold final night In the chill of moonlight
5.
There's never been a hatred as black reserved for you Fucking entitled and lifeless, demanding your service Taking advantage and draining from life Insisting your commands behind a careless heart Clueless to perception, you dance along with pride Losing admiration from those who lift you up Nothing gets through, you couldn't care less Nothing gets through, you deem thee unblessed Scorn abounds in the pits of my heart Reserved for your being, beating black blood Nothing satisfies your demands Fucking clueless and blind to everything you are Draining, draining, all you do is drain The limit has been reached, grandiose illusions I hope you choke
6.
Detach myself from this reality The strings of conscience come undone Playing myself for all I have to be What's left of me is set to run Undo the balance of my mind Search within, pretend to find The ruin is mine Lose it all with one more breath Bleeding heart outpacing death The ruin is mine Bury deep remains of my vanity Temptation's voice will coincide What's left reveled of my sanity Pray to gods that left my side The shards of mirrors open scars Penetrating fragile ground The reach of fate stretched out too far Nothing more to be found Undo the balance of my mind Search within, pretend to find The ruin is mine Lose it all with one more breath Bleeding heart outpacing death The ruin is mine
7.
Internal observation Perspectives of neglet Three winter's ahead My actions reflect Bringing into the light Uncage the somber soul Force fed on depravity And time takes its toll All I am All I see Built into the fabric Of what I decree Bringing sight Bringing light Another night apart From what I'm meant to fight Can I see within To seek beyond Can I breathe again Until the dawn Acceptance of my faults Consciousness and reason Spiteful thoughts and light unseen Through another season Until the dawn comes To wake me from this night Dawn breaks the sky in two Reveal to me new sight All I am All I see Built into the fabric Of what I decree Bringing sight Bringing light Another night apart From what I'm meant to fight
8.
Clashing lights illuminate the rage Another day shifting the sane Made of glass Meant to shatter Falling fast Bound to splatter Watching colors fall Abstractions decorate The colors of these halls Spilling onto slate Watching colors fall Abstractions decorate Clashing lights illuminate the rage Another day Pastel and decay
9.
Black emotion surfacing The call of eternal void Welcoming me into a familiar fear That which rests never dies That which dies never leaves A call into the open As echoes diminish Nothing in reply There's nothing to confront For this, a part of me dwells Insurmountable affliction From the wounds that never healed Internally dying within myself Adapting to the constant Lingering inside Adapting to the constant This life I can't deny
