1. In a Dark Reflection
OH, TO BE FREE OF THIS MADNESS IN ME
IT SCREAMS AND IT BURNS
BUT ITS ABSENCE IS FATAL
RIVERS COLLAPSE, AS THE SUN SETS ITS PATH
BUT TO DENY WHAT WE ARE
IS TO MURDER OUR SOULS...
TO LIVE WITHOUT PAIN, IS TO DIE EVERY DAY
TO DWELL ON THE NEVER
IS TO DIE FOR THE MOMENT
DYING IN MEMORIES; SILENCE PRECEEDS YOU
ALONE IN DEAD THOUGHTS,
OF THE SILENCE THAT GREETS YOU.
FIRE. BURNING. SCORCHING YOUR MIND
TO SCARED TO LOOK,
FOR THAT WHICH YOU'D FIND
MURDER INSIDE YOU,
THE LIGHT AT THE END...
BUT THE DEMON THAT DRIVES YOU
IS PUSHED BACK AGAIN...
FALLING DOWN INTO THE FOREVER
SEEPING DOWN INTO THE NEVER
POISONED BLOOD IS FLOWING QUICKER
PROJECT MY HATRED THROUGH THE MIRROR..
THE LIGHT AT THE END IS ONLY REFLECTION
THE DEAD OF THE NIGHT,
IS ONLY YOU DREAMING
YOURS TRULY, THE BROKEN...
CAN NEVER FORGIVE YOU.
FOR DEATH IS A GIFT...
..NEXT TO THE MISERY YOU WEAVE.
2. Darkness
I CAN FEEL THE PRESSURE
THE WALLS ARE CLOSING IN
AND THERES NO ESCAPING
BEING CRUSHED FROM WITHIN
BUT IN THE END IT ALL MAKES SENSE
STRUGGLING WITH MY INCOMPETANCE
BUT TIME, IT IS UPON ME
AND SO I TAKE THIS FINAL BREATH
AS I KISS IT ALL GOODBYE
FOR IM LEAVING ALL MY PAST BEHIND ME
AS I TAKE THIS LITTLE STEP....
3. Of Clouds and Past
HAD I THE STRENGTH
I WOULD GRIND DOWN THE SUN
TO POWDER, TO ASH,
TO A BURNT, EMPTY SHELL
SPREAD ITS DEBRIS
TO THE DEPTHS OF THE SEA
SO THAT, IN TIME..
TWOULD FORGET HOW TO BURN.
SO I GATHER THESE WINGS
ABOUT ME IN TRIUMPH
AND SOAR THROUGH DARK HEAVENS
IN A SHALLOW DELIGHT
AND IM PUREST COMTEMPT
FOR THIS DARKNESS I'D BIRTHED
WITH WITS FULL OF DAGGERS
ID SET LOOSE A SMILE.
AND OH, HOW THEY'D MOURN
FOR THE SUNLIGHT THEY'D WORSHIPPED
AND BOW TO RETURN IT
TO ITS PREVIOUS LIGHT
BUT THE SUN IT HATH DROWNED
NEATH THE COASTS OF MY HOME
WHERE ITS BODY LIES DREAMING
UNSEEN AND ALONE.
CURSE EVERYTHING
TO THE ABYSS OF MY MIND
SO I SHANT BE ALONE
IN THIS INFERNAL DARKNESS....
4. Drowned
BORN OF AN ABYSSAL MIND
LEFT TO GATHER IN KIND
..OF DERANGED, SELFISH NEED
BORN, OF AN ABYSSAL PAIN
LEFT TO GATHER IN VAIN
OF COMMERCIAL IDEALS
TOWARDS SOUL-SUICIDE.
AN EMOTIONLESS VOID
AN EMOTIONLESS MIND
IN PURSUIT OF DARK LIGHT
DROWNED BY LIFE
DROWNED BY OBSESSIVENESS
DROWNED BY YOUR EMPTINESS
BUILT-UP PERCEPTIONS OF NEED
PURPOSELESS GREED
BURNT IN ITS AFTERMATH
BURNT IN ITS AFTERGLOW
STAINED BY THIS ARTIFICE
OWNED, BY THAT YOU WOULD OWN
COVET THAT YOU WOULD POSSESS
TO HAVE AND CARESS
NUMB....AND MORE EVERYDAY
NUMB....BUY YOUR SOUL AWAY
DEAD...WATCH IT FADE AWAY.
IGNORANT. SUBSERVIANT
DIE WITHOUT KNOWING YOUVE,
DIED, NUMB, DEAD AND MEANINGLESS
DEAD, BUT YOURE DYING YET
OPEN YOUR EYES, YOUVE ALREADY DIED
TO DEAD INSIDE TO SEE THAT LIFE HAS PASSED YOU BY
(BY) THE TIME YOU READ THIS
IT WILL BE TOO LATE FOR ME
TO SAVE MYSELF AND I
CANT FEEL ANYMORE
BECAUSE ITS GONE.
5. Canvass
WATER DRIPS AGAIN...IT ROLLS ALONG THE CRACKED LENGTHS OF MY MIND
INSECURITY: A DYING VISION
THE POINTLESS WAYS IN WHICH I SERVE MY NEED
BREAKING DOWN AGAIN
AND THE FRAGILE TWISTS OF FLESH LAY BLEEDING
IM MAKING OUT I'M DEAD..
BECAUSE I CAN'T STAND IT WHEN I'M BREATHING
THE SHADOWS RISE, INSIDE THE DEPTHS
...AND I AWAKEN TO ANOTHER NIGHTMARE
THE BURNING SCREAM DEEP DOWN INSIDE ME
THREATENS TO ERUPT IN FIRE...
DON'T LET ME DIE, WITH THIS THING STILL LEFT INSIDE
I DONT THINK MY MIND COULD TAKE IT
DONT LET ME DIE, WITH MY CANVASS STANDING DRY
I NEED THIS OUT BEFORE IT BREAKS ME
WRINGING OUT MY VEINS UPON THE CANVASS
SET MYSELF TO FAIL, LIKE A THOUSAND TIMES BEFORE
MY INK RUNS SOMETIMES COLD..
...THOUGH, AT PAINS I HEAT IT
FOR THERES LIFE IN DEATH IN LIFE
..AND THERES NO REPEATING..
DONT LET ME DIE, WITH THIS THING STILL LEFT INSIDE
I NEED IT OUT BEFORE IT BREAKS ME
DONT LET ME DIE, WITH MY CANVASS FADING DRY
WHILE THERES BLOOD LEFT IN THESE VEINS ILL SPILL IT..
...SO EASILY...
6. Earl Grey Suicide
MONDAY MOURNING
I AWAKE WITH MY HEAD IN MY HANDS
ITS DISTORTING
LIE AWAKE EVERYNIGHT IN DESPAIR
AND I WONDER...
...HOW IT CAME TO THIS?
AND I WONDER..
...WHEN I'LL BREAK....
ITS A SIGN OF WEAKNESS YOU SEE
AN EARL GREY NIGHTMARE
CALLS OUT TO ME...
BOIL EVERYTHING, BOIL LITTLE BOY
BOIL EVERYTHING, BOIL SILLY BOY.
I CANT LIVE LIKE THIS ANYMORE
I CANT SEE MY FACE ANYMORE
KILLING MYSELF ONE GREY SIP AT A TIME
AND I LOST THE PATH SOMEWHERE
LOST THE ROAD SOMEWHERE
IM DROWNING
IN A COLD
DEAD
GREY
OCEAN.
