as your promises turn to shit
I'd spend my life exploiting it
a turning of tides
as a spectacle is made of watching you die
no time for regret
no good sentiments kept
just a shallow grave
a headstone and your name
I'll subject you to a similar fate
as those who confided in you
consider this bridge burned
nah, fuck it
consider it bombed
here's my ideal premonition:
a former king slain
the end of your reign
the throne reclaimed

Black Void

have you ever felt so lost that isolation feels like home
no contact
with the outside world
alone, afraid
sorting through the voices in your head
there is a black void where
care can breathe its last breath
curl up and die
it lies inside
and so do I
remorse goes first
control follows close
unrestrained
hatred courses through these veins
I am host to this parasite
bleed me dry
but give me life
have you ever felt so lost that isolation feels like home
no contact with the outside world
and I find myself asking this
where does it start
and where does it end
rejoice in the flames
a cleansing to take away the pain
worship it
revere its gains
all hail the black void
renounce your claims
join us in flames

Blue on Black

take a good last look at who you are today
by tomorrow you will have changed
no air can get in
death's grip not giving an inch
I guess it's easier knowing you're dead
no rest for the wicked
not grief stricken
the life in you evicted
and I fear seeing your face
when I close my eyes
and I can't close my eyes now
this redefines my normality
and the words escape
after all the years
my complacency begins erasing
the way that we found you
and we witnessed hope undo
I know that the life inside you
had taken it's final abuse
and as far as stiff drinks go
I'll have a few
for me
for you
may this dimly lit cage
serve as your resting place
blue on black
the gravity of the situation takes hold
blue on black
so stiff and so fucking cold
take a good last look at who you are today
by tomorrow you will have changed
no air could get in

Descend

life is a tragedy
no hope
no fix
no peace
no solutions
rid the mind of such fallacies
nowhere does there exist a place
of peace and harmony
a saving grace is as plausible as a god with good intent
the clock is ticking
the finger on the trigger is itching
a tumorous ideal enters its remission
descend
of broken hopes and dreams
and loss we can't redeem
emerges acceptance of defeat
no amount of sorrow could restore
all the ashes to their form
of bliss and harmony
the sooner these terms are come to
the more life there will be to live
we've placed these restraints on ourselves
surely we can remove them
break these chains
eradicate the spawn of denial
fuck their claims
silence the voice of the vile
give it up
let it go
end the misery
happiness is found
in the void of belief
once again it's time to descend
of broken hopes and dreams
and loss we can't redeem
emerges acceptance of defeat
no amount of sorrow could restore
all the ashes to their form
of bliss and harmony
a reason to grieve remains unseen
the distance between truth and belief
made obsolete
acknowledgement and acceptance
of our failures as a species
could very well be the next step in evolution
the truth will liberate you
whereas denial has you in shackles
trapped as the world burns around you
