Heart's Already Numb

i can’t shake this numbness
a feeling not known to most
and then a cold breath follows
the pain of winter courses through me
chilling to the core of every nerve
so simultaneously in unison with this fever
one step closer to the grave
i believe my presence has shifted
i no longer have an aura
only a shadow that lingers behind
please,
please don’t look me in my fucking eyes
please don’t look me in my fucking eyes
i feel nothing anymore
i should’ve known
and you shouldn’t have pressed the circuits to a situation that you did not own
i’ve returned home to my solace
i don’t want to see your face
the unbearable ferocity in your eyes
eats me to the core and stains my soul
you don’t need to bear this burden
and to be isolated is all i deserve
you don’t need to bear this burden
to be isolated is all i deserve
i am now synthetic
my heart torn where you left it
follow me,
the god of misanthropy
the god of misanthropy
destined to walk this world alone
nothing more than a ghost to everyone
i am nothing but a waste of flesh
this all rendered useless within my chest
take me
take me and let me fade away
take me, the god of misanthropy

The Grave Scene
04:37

|
this is where my hope has gone to drown
the grave i dug it wasn’t big enough around
so in this shallow pool i will stay-
untouched if i can manage a heart rate
but i haven’t felt my skin in days
and i can’t feel a pulse through these tethered veins
continue to let my eyes fucking drain
i’ll lay here immune to pain
let me close off the sky
i’ve been sinking
but all i want to do is fly
and not feel a thing
writhing in my sanity
laced with misanthropy
bellowing in agony
and not feel a thing
writhing in my my sanity
laced with misanthropy
bellowing in agony
help me stand on my own two feet
two feet
the dreary eyes that stare right through you
any life that was held in there has ended
so embrace what you’ve become
this life was all that you had
a thoughtless process of memory purge
has left the scars you see, emerged
emerged
all the misery and pain is on me
my equilibrium became shot
i spiral into a void filled with rot
misery
misery
and it’s hard for me to fucking breathe
there’s a black hole that follows me
i can’t sit here and listen to lungs collapsing
my sensory glands are no longer present
serotonin virtually non existent

Chaos Is A Ladder
04:18

I walked into a battlefield
My mind stripped bare
My physical self came back home
But my soul stayed there
Why is this happening to me?
Fuck
Fallen brothers Voices in my head
wishing that It was me instead
I wish this would just go away
my arms outstretched someone save me
It’s a never ending suffering
Something i wish to escape
It pokes at me and claws at me everyday
These memories have become the hunter
And i’ve become the mother fucking prey
You’re mine, now,
Die
You are my slave
you shall do what I say
Left to suffer
By the demons of the USA
I can still hear their screams
Their faces in my dreams
I still feel their blood
Dripping down my arms and face
I can still hear their screams
Their faces in my dreams
Have I been driven to madness
How can I fucking escape?
I know that One pull of a trigger
Is all it would fucking take
(x2)

(Jim Jones)
true, are the lies that i delude
a mindless crowd will adhere
while charismatic,
automatic incarceration of inclination,
to speak in archaic tongues
you will never know a past existence,
god was just my coercion

Aura Shift
06:17
|

|
it’s the fear in stigma that keeps you sheltered
you fear the living illusion that keeps me together
i was torn apart piece by piece
by what i thought i was supposed to be
but now i’m the man i’d never live to see
this alteration of mind is now my reality
deteriorating
day by day, cell by cell
i promise one day that i’ll leave this hell
it’s the fear in living that keeps me drawn
i fear the day i come to with my demons and fall
my throat is numb and i can feel this in my jaw
omitting abuse
day by day, cell by cell
i hope that one day i’ll leave this hell
this substance; my savior
or is it not?
overwhelms my head with thoughts
as i sit here lining up my pain
snort it all away
the happiest ive felt all fucking day
15 minutes it will slowly start to fade away
these demons closing in on me
will someone fucking help me
fucking help me
my only savior is this line of dust
i’m stuck
in this addiction i trust
i promise that one day i’ll leave this hell

This Dies With Me
04:52
|

i don’t see a light anymore
i don’t feel alright anymore
i’m here to fuck my life up
i’m the thought you’d rather leave behind
the one that never crossed your mind
what a feverish waste
the link to all your hate
embedding under a black surface
buried underneath a nameless face
i’m waking up to realize
i’m here to end my life
bury me inside my conscience
this dies with me
like the lies divulged from my psyche
i’m the lucid ties i never possessed
forever lost in deception
i don’t know where to go from here
i’ve split my life in half
i hope you read these words you fear
i’m dead behind these eyes
being numb inside has never felt so divine
but-
i hate myself more and more
my life’s in shambles
i have nothing to turn to anymore
a dissipated skeleton falls through my hands
the last known breathing life i had
a ghost now dead in my past
i hate myself again
i know now what i’ve lost
i will never be complete
a broken down -
sentient of life i’ll lead
it will never make me whole
i will never be whole
i don’t see a light anymore
mind numbing affliction
euphoric addiction
a neurotic affection
collapsing of anatomy
i realize now, that this dies with me
mind numbing affliction
euphoric addiction
a neurotic affection
collapsing of anatomy
i realize now, that this dies with me
an integral trigger of morale has died
this inner warmth has taken control of my life
i am now nothing in your eyes
do you at all miss what i was like?
was this just all a waste of time?
anatomy collapsing
this dies with me

I'm a carnal, organic anagram
Human flesh instead of written letters
I rearrange my pathetic tissue
I incise, I replace, I'm reformed
I eradicate the fake, pre-present me
Elevate me to a higher human form
The characters I am
Made into a word complete then I'll be the new norm
Self inflicted fractures
I replace my bones with bars
Aluminum bleeding oxide
The drug of Gods into my pounding veins
My receiving eyes exchanged with fuses
Blindness induced to prevent destruction
Ceramic blades implanted
Past my ribs to save me from the dues of inhalation
I tear my worldly useless skin
Staples to pin it over my ears
Non-receptive of ungodly sounds
I disable the audio generators of fear
Hexagonal bolts to fill my mouth
Sharpened to deplete
The creator of all violence
Without speech there will be no deceit
Baptized in vitriolic acid
A final touch, a smoothing of features
Completion of the greatest art
To cast the godly creatures
Humans, once astray, made divine
Stripped of congenital flaws
We're incandescent
Revelations in a world of darkened forms
Disciples, come join with me
To save a failed humanity
Follow the God of cyanide
Into the new eternity
Behold a sacrificial erase
A cleansing worshiping of pain
The new millennium Christ
Here to redeem all from lies, lies
