I’ll keep biting down ‘til bones shatter
This clinched jaw; lone avoidance of disaster
A spineless waste aged two decades
A short fuse that’s refused to burn out
I sit still, forever play the victim
Watch you stand as you carry my weight
I beg for your sake that there’s not much left of me I beg for mine that I’ll see an eternity
It’s not a fight to the death,
It’s not a battle, not a cliché Just a small longing soul
I can’t keep my demons at bay
In that you have to see deceit
A wasted effort, pierced with hypocrisy
The closest to me regret coming near
Safety’s not a concept that can exist here
I swear I’ll put this on you, let it eat you alive Turn my eyes as you sink, despairing, terrified
I’ll gain your sympathy, lie your head on my chest Before I break your neck, final feigned caress
I’ve been made terribly aware that death is a gift That what’s on earth is all that exists
There’s no place for your soul to transcend
I will make this Hell for you before your end
Hear my wailing, my gnashing of teeth Darkness devours me

Intolerance (stoic.)
02:12
|

Ignorance embodied and flaunted before a world of hungry eyes A trail of dead existence screaming silenced cries
Her stolen young, the bloodied mother wept
A wake of destruction reaching irreversible depths
Deep-‐rooted intolerance reborn every generation A ransom of hostages for acts of compassion
A forced evolution, the only option
Blood red revolution, destroy oppression
Eliminate those who refuse to progress Leave no breath for the valueless
Born equal ‘til they gave up their chance
Stuck spitting lies to wash the blood off their hands Blackened teeth show the downfall of their prey Rip out their tongues, remove the rot they create
Leave No Breath

I’m throwing punches towards a conqueror Harshly muffled by a dreamscape
Fist by fist falling shallow
Wretched effort spent
That crown stands of deep red gold Covered in cuts of teeth and knuckle Wrapped in ripped and stretching skins Soaking in the father’s sins
We bow to blood encrusted laws Skinless knees from bricks of filth Their nails dug deep in our hands Pitiful prone crucifix
No true escape is free of harm
I am the entrapped of an empire
Built on nothing but insatiable cravings A false healer, ill suited of God
From my birth came a welcome to death Semblance of a dream which I beg to wake I’ve craved the noose since that first breath Rest amongst trees, embrace, no longer wait
Darkness Dissipate
Mankind has created the king Our lives suffer under fallacy Found paralyzed by dead beliefs We’re only free in our endings
