1. The Eternal
she knows the pain and suffering
the obedience of the sick
mentally fragile
to the point of exhaustion
inner disease is famine
to the outer shell
the sun is gone
from this world
the roses wither and fade
all gone left no trace
only bruised hands
with dirty face
gun up to the mouth
taking her last breath
before she closes her eyes forever
embracing the eternal calm with open arms
slide glass across the wrist
took her last breath
before she closes her eyes forever
embracing the eternal calm with no fear
swallow fist
false addiction of impure
take my last breath
before i close my eyes forever
to embrace the eternal calm
diseased tears of shame fall from up high
she closes her eyes/she slits her wrists
and slips away
because tomorrow brings no brighter day
tranquil bliss invades
expiring the infection
excoriation into freedom
solution
solution
failure to recognize on behalf of you
failure to recognize on behalf of your ignorance
ignorance
2. The Rubble Of Glory
handing out handjobs and fingerfucks
to the poor
traces of incest that appease the masses
hints of abortion
linger in the smoke
that emits from the rubble of glory
a passionless murder is whispered
just as silence has once chilled our streets
children weep heavily
awaiting the apocalypse
i once shared a vision with a holy man
we danced in house of God
sharing silence
we watched the last fire
fizzle out to nothingness
i await the last drop of hope
but my cries cannot be heard
over the famine and the filth and the wreckage
as the world as we once knew it collides
with the wars of God and demon
hate and love
death and life
sounds of thousands marching to the graves
stenches of vomit and emaciated lives combine
causing my nostrils to flare
and my heart to race
is there no escape from this wretched place?
is there no escape from this wretched place?
is there no escape from this wretched place?
3. To Forget
stare into the sun
let the disease infect your eyes
feel the rapture of her cold kiss
her cold lips filled with worm juice
pressed against your beating heart
cold hands run trembling still over smooth skin
aching from the years of abuse and neglect
a child abused and broken down
so the virus can plague her
discordant screams
memories of the days gone by
discordant screams
memories of the years gone by
teeth in a bag
tears in a cup
she slits her wrists
to forget
the torment of a twisted life
teeth in a bag
tears in a cup
she slits her wrists
to forget
the torment of a twisted life
teeth in a bag
tears in a cup
she slits her wrists
to forget
the torment of a twisted life
4. The Mary Shelley Song
5. Mine Will Rise
turning the strings of my mind
undistinguished knot of hate
stolen knot of fear of waste
dew on the furthest limits
lividity of hatred against you
rubbing raw against your game
plays of dreams and circus schemes
cuts and bruises line her face
the stained dress soaked in warm piss
diseased
the circus queen
abortion of your dreams
diseased
the circus queen
abortion of your dreams
i slit my wrists for solace
drop by drop
i'm creating my silence
smile fill of rotten teeth
glimmer in the moonlight
drink from this pool of hate
seal your fate
i slit my wrists for solace
drop by drop
i'm creating my silence
i slit my wrists for solace
drop by drop
i'm creating my silence
mine will rise
delusions and fantasies
all come screaming to a halt
caught up in the board game of life and death
equilibrium lost
far from within
i died and left a trail of madness behind
demented bliss
inebriation
rise
6. Her Innocence
i saw in the right hand of Him that sat in the throne
a book written within that was sealed with seven seals
and i saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice
"who is worthy to open the book and loose the seven seals?
No man in heaven, nor on earth, nor under earth
was able to open the book nor to look upon it."
and when the Lamb broke open the seventh seal...
there was silence in heaven...
smell the sweet death on her breath
taste the impurity on her lips
her little white dress is stained with red
tainted love of the dead
adorn her face
with a black rose
so she can dream of
where all evil goes
peel her innocence
from her face
drop by drop
amputate
razors slid
across her skin
allowing all the holy in
tension swarm in her eyes
head hung low between her thighs
her thighs are red from the blood of God
damn it
her innocence is bliss
7. I Alone
the dust will pile higher and higher
memories will only fade
spirits will one day rise
feel the fire burn my eyes
i will bathe in the waters
poured from the sky
inhale dark winters
thoughts of decay
don’t remain
fade away
scaling the walls
of my mind
with sweaty palms
unending dead end
shall we hold hands
and die?
morning star
shall not rise
unstitch the seams
free to dream
driven towards
the brink that will not sink
walking in a see of red
mist fills my head
with dreams of the dead
pale breath of sunlight
reignites my shame
as flowers consume the earth
how can something that only exists for a fragment of time cease to exist
when it never really existed at all?
cease to exist when it never really existed at all?
at all!
