 1. Subtle Consumption (of Oneself)
 
 Here I stand
 My fear corrupts me internally
 Motionless, while nightmares digest my flesh
 Too scared to rival the unknown
 
 I live engulfed
 Uncharted territory yet to discover
 Imprisonment sustained beyond acknowledgment
 Clawing at me
 Ripping from skin to bone
 My body saturated within the substances
 
 Consumed by my fear
 Consumed by my lust
 Consumed by my desire
 Consumed in humanity
 
 Swarming deceit rushing into my veins (and my blood)
 Drowning, gasping for life
 Illusions dancing before my eyes
 Slowly destroying the essence of my mind
 
 I cannot stop for I am a nameless victim entrenched within my own captivity
 Fallen

 2. Traverse in Regret
 
 There was my absent mind
 All brought upon by an absence of thought
 All but the ovation of the silent magnitude
 'Twas a moratorium of which I have remained persistently throughout my being
 That very essence of strangulation so pure
 
 Captivated by hope, I was upon your grace
 As time stood still
 I gave life to a dream
 Never to serve its purpose
 
 As she remained in my infinity, ever-becoming of her divinity
 Grief substantiated itself once again
 As we were never to be
 
 As time stood still throughout, I gave life to a dream
 Never to serve its purpose
 ...And within that moment, all I had ever lost before was gone
 
 A farewell to wanton desire

 3. Better Off Dead
 
 Unlawful beatings occur daily
 They are unstoppable and futile to prevent
 I am deprived of my existence, and so shall I live
 Miserable and tarnished
 
 Ignored I cannot be, yet I tell no one of the happenings
 What shall happen if I do?
 
 I am being battered relentlessly
 I scream but no one hears
 Dismantled arms of no defense
 Can I be rescued?
 
 Agonizing pain now rises from my neck
 Cannot breathe, being strangled by the menses
 Despicable pleasures of my father
 Eggs evolving into a child
 
 No reason for this mess, brutal scars of rape
 No reason for this mess, brutal scars of rape
 No reason for this mess, brutal scars of rape
 No reason for this mess, brutal scars of rape
 
 Will I live to see the light of day?
 Shall death befall my weakening status?
 Will the violence cease?
 
 (Clean vocals, simultaneous end verse)
 As I awake
 I realize things will never be same
 Horribly deranged, I no longer wish to exist
 Someone please hear my thoughts
 Sadly, I'm branded eternally
 Someone please hear my thoughts
 Sadly, I'm branded eternally
 Save me from this abuse
 
 (Death vocals, simultaneous end verse)
 Was there ever anything I did to deserve this?
 My soul drenched in this insinuation of insemination
 Fighting for a life I cannot escape
 Fighting for a life, there is no way through this
 Scars from the womb are led to within
 Seeds of regret of which I know nothing
 I cannot think of reason I am bestowed of this
 I cannot think of a reason I deserve this
 My father smiles as I scream in agony

 4. A Life Unlived
 
 Feelings morbidly intertwined
 The scars are so deeply embedded
 With the transience of time, I watch as my grievances only abound
 
 Unable to cured and set free
 Fighting my thoughts ever so desperately
 My very existence confounds
 As my distaste for life abounds
 
 Through the tormenting silence, reflections of me
 Bleeding, dying...
 
 Around me burns a shadow of disgust
 Surrounding when I succumb to weakness
 And if life is my weakness, who am I to feel?
 Any sense of a life lost:  A life unlived.

 5. What Words Will Never Convey
 
 Why must you remain so shrouded in allure
 By vast means as a spectacle...of contempt I do endure
 
 Morose by the truth I cannot bear, and by the loneliness I must learn to embrace
 It is me to whom cast is the snare, while you abound in all of your grace
 
 And while you were unaware, secretly was I there
 Beholding before me what humanity never knew
 And while you were there, of the acknowledgment was I aware
 That a future of me did not exist without you
