ultra-violet convulsions to distort from contorted words 
empty syllables for a veil to preserve or blackened eyes 
frantically we tear at the walls to find the radiance they've promised us 
in the chaos we collapse and blame ourselves for the shadows 
false promises amass too high, their strength staggers in decay 
when the veil becomes transparent 
minds will coalesce in a collective eye 
and with our eyes now open 
we can destroy these walls that bind

inside this dimension words lose definition 
and we're lost in a labyrinth of syllables 
i can see them coating over skin 
painted by bloodied tongues turned black 
they resound the banter formed for the weak 
they thrive on its vacant sedation 
filling hollow lives with empty delusions 
of a world we'll never see 
sing me words of another world 
to bleed reality from my eyes

bruised and calloused, left for dead but still holding onto the silhouette of a perfect smile. dragging my heels in the perfection I can't be a part of. looking to the eyes to see the future I wish would come. the past I know is fantasy, the way I need it to have been. forcing my memories to conform to my weakness. looking into her eyes the beauty consumes me, but infinite hunger still devours my mind. as I'm left with nothing to believe, I fall endlessly from grace. all I am is empty, and the cause is the look on her face. I look to her to find  what I wish existed in me. again paralyzed by the dark. alone for eternity. my infatuation can never release me.

            Wastelands
         | 
    
    
        
absorb her warmth and let it fade. return to the cold alone and with strength. dissolve this weakness and return to the place where you have control of this mind. forget all those things that now mean nothing, don't let those lies cause you this pain. exist in this moment, it's all that you have. find purpose in this life that drains. breaking this silence by breaking this smile. break away this memory. of an illusioned time. the time that seemed flawless is smothered with imperfection. try again to deny but always it returns. striving to forget yet the memory lingers. still inside this mind with no way to release it. force out this vision, let these eyes go blind. broken and discarded. i've died.
forgotten memories bring new pain. that are really relics from yesterday. 
we created this wasteland. this is where im buried. you dug the grave. i filled it in

you fall to dust and leave us all behind. we cannot control. we cannot relieve. you lock the walls to your dream and grow into the poison inside. feeling it burst your veins. letting it rot your mind. here it is only you and your sickness to keep them away. everyday trapped within makes you bleed and fade. clutch onto me, and let me in. alone your blood will drown.

            The Descent
         | 
    
    
        | 
i bury myself in this disease and slowly forget who i am, until my reflection fades into a haunting silhouette. and i become this darkness, in love with the frozen embrace, slowly erasing reality until i am trapped in this place.                      so set this mind ablaze, and watch as my emotions fade away. nothing ends this this pain, but it's so much easier when i'm fake.         descending into the black. into the darkness i descend

situation without context. orientations-associations obscured. only constant motion driving us forward. numbing-directionless. no point of origin or destination in sight. only spiraling madness on the horizon. dark enigmas cascading into themselves. paradoxical. dark scenarios transpire. manifestations of past horror. inciting epileptic reflex. tremoring. deja vu translating to violent chaos unending. we've fought against this before, but never won. the truth forever inaccessible, i must create my own reason.

collapsing obsidian sun. unfathomable destruction. an elegant precursor. the stream comes cascading down. the discontinued bloodline. the last generation. unfulfilled potential. rejection of purpose. final minutes shared in silent company of friends. spent in wistful reverie. the stream comes cascading down. t-plus zero seconds. the true power intimately made real. unrivaled experience. transcending human perception. apathetic universe destroying countless lives. each a blink in the eye of time, the action has no meaning.                                         transcending human perception. the stream comes cascading down

and it fades, your memory of this day, just let life repeat. and never stop to think... but i thought because it means something to me. you always seem to forget, but still it eats away at me. you act without consequence; completing your mission. day by day taking it away, erasing the few human remains. this struggle you never question, you pursue it through to the end. and when you finally finish nothing will be left.                           the purpose of flesh withers away in the decay of time.

            Whisper Perfect Lies
         | 
    
    
        | 
another morning. another regret. awake in this life stained in the vile stench. racing on this path towards redemption and death. blinded by the light at the end. searching for a way to ease this hate. needing this beauty to show me the way. connected to this, forcing to break away. holding your touch, caressing your soft face. feeling this bliss you leave me with inside. feeling this warmth -feeling this lie. carve out a smile. leave it in these eyes. feel this warmth.  live this lie. tear out this heart. rip at this bliss. scarred deep within. needing a way to fix this .      
cut me open. sew me shut. whisper perfect lies into these ears. 
needing this world, real or fake. to suffocate this life of fear. 
cut open this shell. erase everything inside.
sew up these wounds with perfect lies

            My Eyes Are Open
         | 
    
    
        
the world you pulled over my eyes 
finally revealed 
released from my illusion 
that you could actually be 
You never let me breathe 
smothered in the fake 
that you made seem true 
my weakness is your strength 
leaving me in shit 
kicking in my teeth 
finally escaping illusion 
enclosed inside your words 
i can't decide alone 
you strive for our destruction 
but to you its perfection 
created for my improvement 
but left unwilling to let go 
rebuilt, individualized 
but still conformed to you 
fighting to get freedom 
destroying to create the obsolete 
my only escape is death

            Fall
         | 
    
    
        
force-fed emotion 
not grief not sorrow not fake  
sour and pungent 
tear stained face 
hate is forgotten 
useless shit falls away 
above it all 
fuck fate 
emotion--dissolves--hatred returns--too weak to resolve 
Fall 
power too strong 
forced to let go 
cannot contain 
lies of content 
anguish is mine 
never set free 
endless pain 
destroys me  
Fall

insomnia 
        too exhausted to be awake 
        too full of life to sleep 
full of questions 
        about the horror which tomorrow brings 
        about the love i wont let myself feel 
turning and rolling, tremble and cough 
        i can't stay still 
        but moving keeps me awake 
craving the sedation 
        that only sleep can bring 
        searching for a fix i can't find 
my eyes shut tight 
        thinking the darkness can caress me into sleep 
        it is never dark enough 
i hold my breathe 
        hoping for the release that only being unconscious can bring 
        but i never have the strength 
hours of anguish 
        lead to a second of bliss 
        which will leave me in a world that has only pain for me 
tear my eyes out 
every time they open i awake in a more painful reality

white washed bleeding sky 
breathing vision slowly dies 
enclosed a capsule 
no mind no desire 
a violent revolution 
a poisoned awakening 
choking cold 
asphyxiation 
five deaths 
kill temptation 
worlds wasted on yesterdays tears 
guided on tragedy 
stale breath  
no promises  
left  
to keep 
enclosed a capsule 
no mind no desire 
a violent revolution 
a poisoned awakening 
tonight the air is grey with death 
the end is all I hear 
remaining a dying echo 
blinded cold and fading 
white washed bleeding sky 
breathing vision slowly dies

            Failed Existence
         | 
    
    
        
fallen into hell 
contained in my failed existence 
apathy has control 
there is no hope 
no shelter 
from endless failure 
i cannot care 
i cannot win 
my shell 
my shell of disbelief 
shattered 
shattered are all my dreams 
in agony 
yet i feel nothing 
being numb 
is the greatest pain 
piercing eyes of truth stare through my lies 
i protect that which i hate 
justice vanished for my suffering 
ive become the cause of my pain 
no release from ignorance 
no escape from the end 
cannot hide weakness 
perseverance erased 
my last step into total darkness 
is my first step into blinding light

            Consumed In Nothing
         | 
    
    
        
I'm empty and cold as I realize nothings real 
falling into the abyss of fake 
dying inside rotting beneath 
unable to persevere 
consumed by nothingness 
drowning in my filth 
craving the embrace 
suffocate in tears 
tear away all that mattered 
dissolving uselessness 
 erasing who I am  
 destroying what I've built 
I strive so hard to reach perfection 
Yet I please no one 
My trials are useless 
I'm left weak 
Dropping, falling, losing, lost, I never will win 
Trapped in myself, with no illusion, to block out the horror within 
fear of the future, of the unknown, leaves me alone with my hate 
Knowing I'll never have what I need leaves me with nothing but pain

            Silence (These Lies, These Truths)
         | 
    
    
        
in her silence i hear no redemption  
in her silence i hear no truth 
why can't i see the truth to save myself 
no... i know she lies 
wordless but still i can hear 
her lips have yet to move 
two voices tear at me 
these lies, these truths 
need to escape in dream 
to this world where i am god 
my fears no longer drains 
fear no longer crucifies 
silence is my peace 
silence is my pain 
my peace is hidden lies 
lying empty my fears consume my mind 
here i am god (crucified) 
why this pain destroys... destroys 
her mouth sewn shut 
destroying painful truths 
with her i'm in pain 
without her i'm blind

            Illusion Of Life
         | 
    
    
        
endless filth 
covering every inch of poisoned earth 
no way to escape 
the endless bile piling up at the back of my throat 
no purity it's an illusion that never was 
their shit stained face leaves me quenching end 
wretched vile nothings are still more than me 
fuck life it is nothing  
no reason to strive for an existence i cant achieve 
no new thought just plagiarism of life 
everything of worth is forgotten tomorrow 
fuck everything that god calls life 
my life is shit that god will flush away when he finishes 
i affect nothing not even myself

            Alone In The End
         | 
    
    
        
Every word, exactly what I need. 
 horrible truths erased 
quiet whispers spin me in perfection 
 where nothing can be wrong.  
her body shudders in ecstasy as I caress her flesh.  
The sound of her breathing hypnotizes me  
soothing me into a deeper state of bliss.  
Everything that escapes her lips is exactly what I need to hear.  
She says I'm perfect, I'm beautiful, smart, so pure.  
Every word contradicts my thoughts.  
The voice inside me escapes 
Maybe she just knew what to say 
To dissolve all of my pain 
Being with her is everything 
I love her-she makes me love me. 
I'm not alone 
I'm left alone
