Wretched Self

2. |

Remember when we used to sleep
No fear of strife, no need to bleed
Lost in the garden, not wanting to stay
Forging a bond with the grave
Swaying at the hangman's feet
Forgetting we used to sleep
We can't stop this selfish embrace
Ever onwards, towards the end
Knees buckle and will breaks
I've lost the strength just to stand
Corruption takes us in
Never stopping to give us breath
Disguised so thin, we were blind
Never destined to win
We'll never win

3. |

Searching for answers while gazing into the abyss
I'll drift away into the haze knowing I won't be missed
Stagnant and loathed
Born of burden
Feeding on hate
Rejected and ruined
How many years will I sleep, shapeless and empty
Harder to connect, harder to feel anything
Losing the will to resist
Ready to break, hatred overcomes

Vermiform

A lost poet under a dreamless sky
By the ashes he is shown an end that is nigh
The grim tides of the sea will not relent
You'll find him wallowing in waters of his regret
Writhe in the dirt
Buried and forgotten
Rotting too long
Vermiform
Never to find
Never to love
Always looking for something
Never looking inwards
Saccharine but made of poison
Why should I long for something I've never had
Walking in circles in an endless dark forest
Maybe he'll drown in the mud and tears with which he is clad

We Build in Silence
05:14
|
|||
Build our homes in silence
Build our prisons in silence
Build our tombs in silence
Stained with the blood of our innocence
Moss on the stones, fading with time
Cold hangs from the leaves, detached and unfeeling
With a hunger to touch, to be warm again
To see all they've missed
To escape the damp earth and the silence
Gravity pulls harder here
And the trees feed off of sorrow
To grow tall
To thrive
From the failure of death
But the dead are blind and their pleas fall flat on a heedless land
No one listens
No one cares
