Everybody Dies..
These killers come to life
And everybody dies..
They can smell blood in the water
Circle 'round waiting to strike
They want your soul
Seduce you with their lies
Selling death, the end of the sublime
Obfuscate the fog of deception
Sowing hate, to drag you to their end
Drowning, down into the darkness below
A slave to the slaughter
Sinking, down in to the blackout you go
There's blood in the water
Listen close, the heart of deception
Beating loud, the rhythm expands.
I'm a part of you. You brought all of yourself and put it into me. You may hate me but on the inside when no one is around you think of me and love me. But obviously you would never admit that. But I know as I feel it. I know you love me and care even if you don't show it.
Everyone has demons. Even those who are pure of heart and say their prays by night.
You exist outside of the stricture
Of the structure,
Which binds and confines
In the tedium of
Time -
The mind; set your self
Free, always, at
Every opportunity
Dash headlong
Into the shifting face
Of chaos,
Heart hurled in a
Swirl
Of a song,
Longed for, all
Along:
Down in the valley of shadows lurks my withered soul
Cradled in moss and fungus left to rot under the black trees
Slowly disintegrating transforming back to energetic dust
Nearby a dulled key lays apart on a tri-color chain shedding rust
Lonely? Alone? Quarantined? Isolation? Singular?
Hidden in a world full of people unknowing
What adjective am I? Are you? What word describes your state?
(Mental? Physical? Relationship? Parental? Medical?)
What Pendant do you wear on your chest? Your forehead? Your soul?
Is it one word? Two? A Phrase? A sentence? A rallying cry? A joke?
Is it serious your illness or commonplace ignorant?
Is it life threatening or everyday happenstance?
Is it the bullet that got you or the knife in your back?
Is it attraction you crave or something you think you lack?
Down in the valley of shadows deep through the mountains of darkness
A spider weaves his web between tree, soul and key.
I have BECOME
Synthetic
Fucking PSYCHO
Somatic
Pushed beyond suicide
To the edge of homicide
The details are in the devil
The madness in which we revel
I won't be
What you made
Me to be
Stripped down to the bone
Steeped in the ways of blasphemy
I am the maggot in your synapse
The evolution of brutality
Breaking THE MOLD
Obsolete
Fucking BRAND NEW
Violence
My soul was crucified
And drowned in the cyanide
The devil is in the details
And stitched together in entrails
You can't be
What you want
To be
Stripped down to the bone
Steeped in the ways of blasphemy
I am the maggot in your synapse
The evolution of brutality
The reigning blood
Digitized nightmare
It snows in Hell
Laying all to bare
WE CAME FROM
NOTHING TO
BE NOTHING
SO WE LIVE
A HALF LIFE
AS PHANTOMS
all the biometric synthetic aesthetics
are pathetic though poetic in their
prophetic designs
WE ARE THE VIRUS IN THE MACHINE
Stripped down to the bone
Steeped in the ways of blasphemy
I am the maggot in your synapse
The evolution of brutality
Stripped down to the bone
Steeped in the ways of blasphemy
I am the maggot in your synapse
The evolution of brutality.
I feel a glitch in the cortex
Like a ghost in the shell
Caught the devil playing mind tricks
I feel the dread close in like the walls of a cell
I cannot sleep
I cannot hide
I cannot take
One more night on the dark side of my mind
I close my eyes to sleep, the shadows speak
And they won't stop when I'm awake
Everything they say would seem
Feeds the fear inside of me
Let it feed the fear inside
Help me take this pain away
Sleep is now my enemy
Now it feeds the fear inside of me
The fear inside of me
The fear hit like a shell shock
Body froze like my heart stopped
REM waves got my limbs locked down but my eyes wide open
Sheer terror manifest before me
I cannot sleep
I cannot hide
I cannot take
Living this way on the dark side of my mind
I close my eyes to sleep, the shadows speak
And they won't stop when I'm awake
Everything they say would seem
Feeds the fear inside of me
Let it feed the fear inside
Help me take this pain away
Sleep is now my enemy
Now it feeds the fear inside of me
I close my eyes to sleep (Sleep paralysis)
Let me out
Let me out
Let me out
Let me out
Let me out
Let me out
Let me out
Let me out
Let me out
Let me the fuck out
Let me the fuck out
Everything they say would seem
Feeds the fear inside of me
Let it feed the fear inside
Help me take this pain away
Sleep is now my enemy
Now it feeds the fear inside of me
It's the fear inside of me
I cannot sleep
I cannot hide
I cannot take
One more night on the dark side of my mind.
You think you are safe in the dark
But I was forged in the shadow
Live with a target on my back
In league with those who lurk below
And when it is kill or be killed
Fear runs deep into the marrow
I have lost what makes me human
Animal instincts take control
Because I can't stand this self centered shell
There is nothing, THERE IS NOTHING you can do
You can run today but there's no hideaway
Let's play Seek and Strike
Because I can't stand this self centered shell
There is nothing, THERE IS NOTHING you can do
You can run today but there's no hideaway
Let's play Seek and Strike
There is a B U L L E T
With your name on it
POINTED AT MY H E A D
Seek and Strike
The end is nigh.
Holding your picture before the flame
A reminder of times so far gone
They won't catch me letting go of you
A war I cannot win
The enemy is me
My own blood on these hands
The fire it burns hungering now
It can taste you within the embers
As I press your picture to my lips
And I hope that wherever you are
I know you see just what I am
I CAN'T HIDE behind masks
Inherited all of your pain
I am battling your demons
And keep them FOR MY OWN
My courage is broken and hollow
This creature conforms when you're not here
I hate what I am when you are gone
Nothing left tomorrow
To kill this enemy
The devil knows my name
Your image, a ghost in flickering light
You let me know I walk alone
Jagged edges slide across my wrist
I'll follow you wherever you are
So that you see just what I am
I CAN'T HIDE behind masks
Inherited all of your pain
I am battling your demons
And keep them FOR MY OWN
DARKNESS AND MADNESS
HIDING IN SADNESS
THE WHSIPERS ARE SCREAMING THE LOUDEST
WHEN LOVE BECOMES HATE
THIS WORLD I CREATE
THE WEEPING IS BLEEDING THE UTMOST
EMPTY AND HAUNTED
WASTED, UNWANTED
CROW'S MURDER AND THUNDER DETAIL MY HELL
YOUR FACE REMINDS ME
WHAT I USED TO BE
AFTER EVERYTHING I CANNOT LET YOU GO
can not let you go
can not let you go
can not let you go
I CAN'T LET YOU GO
And I hope that wherever you are
I know you see just what I am
I CAN'T HIDE behind masks
Inherited all of your pain
I am battling your demons
And keep them FOR MY OWN
I'll follow you wherever you are
So that you see just what I am
I CAN'T HIDE behind masks
Inherited all of your pain
I am battling your demons
And keep them FOR MY OWN.
You can’t stand me
I can’t stand me either
Want to be left alone
I just need a breather
I try to get lost
Try to get me some help
Try to learn to love life
I just can’t love myself
The lights are all on
All my thoughts come undone
They don’t stop, don’t relent
The damage is done
I do what I have to
Just to get by
I’m scared that I’ll leave
And I won’t say goodbye
How to calm all these voices
Can’t figure it out
The scenes in my head
Keep playing them out
I want to get better
Really I do
I don’t want to think
I really am through
The guilt eats me up
All the secrets I keep
I must drive you crazy
My problem’s so deep
Just tell me to stop
To leave you alone
The farther I get
The closer I’m home
I need to cut ties
It’s my only way out
Ties with those who hurt me
Those who want me around
I want to self medicate
It’s so easy to do
I want to feel numb
To not have a clue
I’ll never be happy
These thoughts I can’t fight
Just leave me alone
So I can shut off the lights.
