1. Left With Nothing
A sequence of questions challenge one’s true knowledge
Ignorant frustration lack proof of comprehension
Searching and reaching but left with nothing
Averting to recognize
The formula’s lost in front of the eyes
Searching and reaching but left with nothing
Averting to recognize
The formula’s lost in front of the eyes
Searching and reaching but left
ultimately left with nothing
Through the maze, that is built
Upon a theme of variation
Fit the pieces, of the puzzle
To achieve mathematical solution
Time runs out, as I
Cannot find, answers
To this struggle, that I
Challenge myself with, like the
End to come, which is
Met with judgment, and pain
To dwell on, in thought
Forever condemned, like death
A reference embedded, making point of this time becomes
highly impacting, showing of uncertainty
The inverse of what’s proportional to succeed,
versus a Span of time consistent and ending
Displace/Display
Radical franticness
Averting to recognize
The formula’s lost in front of the eyes
Displace/Display
Radical franticness
Averting to recognize
The formula’s lost in front of the eyes
Searching and reaching but left
Ultimately left with nothing
Contemplating my demise, concealing thoughts with disguise
My blackened heart beats no more, this darkness I shall die for
Through the dark, through the light
Knowing the ways of the world, and the potential of life
Displacing time
Displaying the inverse of comprehension
Mark this point in time
Highly impacting, now showing uncertainty
Searching and reaching but left
Ultimately left with nothing
Contemplating my demise, concealing thoughts with disguise
My blackened heart beats no more, this darkness I shall die for
2. Void
Like a tainted tongue after-taste, my hand permeated in death’s awake and offer
The inconclusive theories presenting little to no reassurance
Give success to one’s fall and defeat, this strife is not equal, but known by all life
An only chance to separate, test the limits, divide and struggle to fly
Life does not exist to the one on the ground as it does to the one in the sky
Life doesn’t exist because the world lives to see death
It wants to see its own death, it wants to see the way it’s going to die
One more lost with no cause and ultimately fucked
Smite biting tongue and swallowing pride
Sinking stomach, open the void to more time and more pain
Condemning fate with a twisted outlook pouring through the conscious state
Cleansed of the essence of humanity
I force a closed fist through the open door
The door as presented to all of us
Yet to most it appears locked without a key
This is the chance to gain purity
Pulling love back from the void it seeks
Compelled to thrive amongst emptiness
Building my life from what can’t be seen
World filled with darkness
Falling into chaos
Contemplating last breath
Of a life of sorrow
Nothing left to save us
No one there to judge us
Measurement of success
Displaced by our failure
The need for a god is no more, as humans love is what we truly adore
We love to love and nothing more
3. Ephemeral Existence
Falling farther and deeper than ever before
The legion of humanity rattled and scourged
From the beginning we all knew our demise
At the end we could not survive
Over the edge of the cliff at the view of the fire
From the past comes the future consumed once more
Beneath the earth opens the mouth of devourment
Once we destroyed all now it’s our time to cower in pain
The earth consumes our flesh
We cannot display resistance
The young and old will heave and retch
The time of the end ephemeral existence
A blackened world lost to its own demise
Recycled humanity multiple killing spree
Malicious insurgency equates to apathy
Killing ourselves off in attempt to survive
Over the edge of the cliff at the view of the fire
From the past comes the future consumed once more
Beneath the earth opens the mouth of devourment
Once we destroyed all now it’s our time to cower in pain
The earth consumes our flesh
We cannot display resistance
The young and old will heave and retch
The time of the end ephemeral existence
4. From Insidiousy To Apathy
Affliction time drags on the mind
No emotions left cannot find
That which will advance from this state
End this era of insidiousy
From insidiousy to apathy
Constriction the mind writhes in after thought
Simplified version of what I’d sought
Throughout it all found out that I was wrong
Wisdom synonymous with suffering
From insidiousy to apathy
Dwelling in apathy, souls melted minds contort
Feelings once pure as dark, dying
Hiding from memories, suffering as they bleed
Into thought, torment me, forever
From insidiousy to apathy, absolve me from this poisonous realm
It rips at my heart, it tears at my mind, it claws at my life, seek which I cannot find
From insidiousy to apathy, remove me from insanity
It’s been far too long for this suffering, may it end before I encounter death
Darkness covers my mind
Through distant lands of illusion
Sworn to the essence of truth unveiled
Cannot refuse that which others can’t see
I wander amongst this abysmal existence
Observing temptations of man as he falters
Knowledge unheard of, never considered for use
My existence somewhat displaced
Thoughts of death run through my veins
Purpose known yet not fulfilled
The thirst for power at the sight of blood spilled
Praise the most high
The force of darkness
Offer you life, increase our wisdom
Beasts of the deep, spawn of the sea
Come forth and show your animosity
Come forth and spew apocalypse
Revelation
5. The Last Deception
Walking away in disgust
Wiping the dust from my eyes
I went down that road again
Content in retreat I look to begin
Until again maybe I will find
The illusive structures of fulfillment
I seek not which other hope to obtain
Artificial release to move on and on
This saga of lies
This pain which I endure
It is time to converge
Time to procure
Break this curse, this is the last deception
Rebuke the bitch let there be no question
As my heart is dissected
I refuse to reflect hatred
Maybe you will glimpse a reflection
Of your complete lack of dignity
Never must this continue in vain
Enough tragedies abound if had worth could build palaces
Total oblivion surrounds me engulfing my shadow
Sickened beyond thought I withdraw before the battle
It is never regretful to learn all these lessons
Rendered obscene thoughts foreign to my brain
Keep greatness reserved for those who deserve
Yet still I wander towards my dismay
The end of my suffering never in sight
Motives lead astray turned into hate
Desensitized by misery and unending pain
Twists and the turns on the road of desolation
Pulled under the tides of the malignant seas
Cursed forever never return to my home again
Just like the lost tales of ancient men
Conflicting between expression and what was concurred
Expecting the well deserved becomes oddly absurd
Sinking downwards into the dark
Losing sight of what was once lost
Consciousness fades thoughts expire
Regretfully returning to the realm of all the lies surmounted
Bringing forth nocturnal visions
Faces of the past arisen
Tormenting me without reason
All that I can see is, more of all the fucking same shit
A thousand slow and painful deaths, each more sadistically excruciating
And deceptively final
Such is the flowing misery beneath the veneer of a woman’s love
Heartless creatures that they be
6. Beyond the Burning Horizon
