The Descent
01:47

I refuse to go back to sleep. I'm haunted in my dreams by torment and screams. Every hour is a year when I sleep so when I'm stuck in the maelstrom I'm frightened to my core.
Wading into the abyss, I find myself trapped, entrenched by paranoia and impatience. The hour will return late and I lay awake staring into the stars. They glow like fading lights of emerald in the night. No pleasure, no patience, no peace, just... nothing.
My dreams have gone rotten with dread and I'm revisited by old ghosts. I've become compromised by my own subconscious and the damage is heavy. The past trauma is resurfacing. Nothing could have prepared me for this endeavor. I'm haunted with little chance of recovery, but do I need it?
Imagine running through quicksand. The legs run and run and run, run, run, run but there's no motion forward. It's lunacy in its purest form, yet I can't even fathom the depth that this will go to.
There is a bright side to this, it's her.

Buried In Silence

Facing my problems it feels like it's murder I cannot describe it I'll drive it across the neck
My head is spinning my ears they are ringing, they're screaming they're begging for me to just listen.
Buried in silence I'll riot until the dawn
everything's spinning I'm rotting inside and out
blessings are worthless you cowards I'll bleed you out
My life's in ruins why can't I say fuck it?
Frustrated, Devastated, hearts breaking, life's fading
Putrid excursions they silence my memory
I hate that I'm like this I'm lifeless inside my grave
Mommy and daddy please save me from ignorance
I cannot control it please help me I'm suffering

Where's my patience?
Such a waste of my time,
Sit and watch the sun rise!
Rise upon a demise,
Cut me up (watch me choke),
Illness got me shakin,
Might not make or break it!
Such a pile of shit,
Hang me up (watch me choke)
Up and down the mind goes,
Super fast and then slow,
This is a denial,
Hack me up (watch me choke)
I can’t really help it,
Why’d you call me selfish,
I can’t even stop it,
Lock me up (watch me choke)
No not wasting my time,
Wasting my life,
Wasting my youth on,
My,
My existential,
Paranoid dreams,
Outward bound screams.
Nightmare so persistent,
I just can’t resist it,
Now it’s like I ate shit,
Cut me up (watch me choke),
Here it goes I’m shakin,
Now I’m barely breathin,
Seems I’m in a snake pit
Hang me up (watch me choke)
Now I lay in silence,
Take or leave the violence,
All I got are remnants,
Of my grave (dig me up)
Make or break the torture,
Of my body’s leisure,
Cannot stop this feature,
In my brain (disarray)
Now watch me choke.

It’s surely a myth that’s mine just to tell,
I’ve witness anguish I’ve been through hell,
Late nights tossing turning around,
I shake my head and I hit the ground,
Misery shakes me down to my core, sometimes existence is such a bore,
Eternal nightmare trapped in my head when will I leave this moment of dread,
Late nights and these early days I,
Get down on my knees and pray I,
Might just go to sleep until I’m gone,
Courtesy’s a luxury I,
Gave up quite some time so I try,
One more blow to my head till I’m gone!
Buried and wasted in a time of crisis,
My spine is my shovel and I lie lifeless,
I’m wasted in youth as the clock ticks slowly,
Playing the hand that was dealt so blindly,
Chaotic address that I move so slightly,
I render the hand that means to strike me,
Surely enough this means I’m the key.
Please,
lay me to sleep,
Pray,
My soul to keep,
Please,
Lay me to sleep,
Don’t skip a beat,
Lay me to sleep!

Suffocated And Obsessed
03:19

Lifeless, insightless
My brain is pouring out my fucking ears
Borderline crazy
I hate this fucking world and all of you
I think im just obsessed
I cant breath,
someone help me
When will i
find my patience
For everyone?
Nothings sacred
I wont be
DEAD AND HOPELESS!
Shameless and faceless,
The hand that feeds it also takes away,
My sanity gives me,
My hope beyond a fucking slow descent.
I think theres something that
i hope my mind forgets
I think I'm gonna crack
theres no turning back

Listen up
slaughter house
take your pick
everybody
This is a
cancer house
like or die
no reply
overdose
in a screen
like a dream
no one cares
Make or break
Meant to take
run away
no one's safe
Lost out of control again I can't explain the thoughts of a generation again.
It seems the time wares thin over our heads. Thoughts of a generation amend.
live the dream
in a screen
watch me scream
no one hears
laugh or cry
cyanide
down it goes
down your throat
Down you go
scratch the itch
dig a ditch
thoughts and prayers
live or die
no reply
life's a bitch
ain't it rich
Give me something now that I can't find
it sits upon the inside of my own mind
Social slaughterhouse to kill some time
Subtly addiction so divine

Temporary
04:32

Your lips,
Last breath,
Creeping past your very eyes,
Whispers,
And answer,
They slip right past your ears and die,
My turn it’s lock up,
Have you any final words,
You are my sickness it’s time to lay you in the ground.
Sometimes you sit across from the devil and you look past all the misery it’s about the chemistry,
There will be some times where I feel so hopeless then I realize it’s only temporary.
Livid frustration,
Lacking the ability,
To kill my parasitic,
Visitor inside my brain,
My turn it’s lock up,
Have you any final words,
You are my sickness it’s time to lay you in the ground.
Pressure, and anger!
The only things you made me feel,
Goodbye to worry,
I’ll never see your face again.
Pressure and anger!
The only things you made me feel,
Goodbye to worry,
I’ll never see your face again!
Temporary, it’s only temporary!
Temporary, it’s only temporary!
Temporary, it’s only temporary!
Temporary, it’s only temporary!

Bell on door clang, come on in
Floyd observes my hairy chin
Sit down chair, don't be afraid
Steamed hot towel on my face
I'm ashamed.
Barney ties me to the chair
I can't see, I'm really scared
Floyd breathes hard, I hear a zip
Pee-pee pressed against my lips
I sense others in the room
Opie, Aunt Bee, I presume
They take turns and cut me up
I die smothered in Andy's clutch

Zero

My reflection dirty mirror
There's no connection to myself
I'm your lover I'm your zero
I'm the face in your dreams of glass
So save your prayers
For when you're really gonna need 'em
Throw out your cares and fly
Want to go for a ride?
She's the one for me
She's all I really need, oh yeah
She's the one for me
Emptiness is loneliness and loneliness is cleanliness
And cleanliness is godliness, and God is empty just like me
Intoxicated with the madness, I'm in love with my sadness
Bullshit fakers, enchanted kingdoms
The fashion victims chew their charcoal teeth
I never let on, that I was on a sinking ship
I never let on that I was down
You blame yourself, for what you can't ignore
You blame yourself for wanting more
She's the one for me
She's all I really need, oh yeah
She's the one for me
She's my one and only

Now I rest my head from
Such an endless dreary time
A time of hopes and happiness
That had you on my mind
Those days are gone and now it seems
As if I'll get some rest
But now and then I'll see you again
And it puts my heart to the test
So when are all my troubles going to end?
I'm understanding now that
We are only friends
To this day I'm asking why
I still think about you
As the days go on I wonder
"Will this ever end?"
I find it hard to keep control
When you're with your boyfriend
I do not mind if all I am
Is just a friend to you
But all I want to know right now
Is if you think about me too...?
So when are all my troubles going to end?
I'm understanding now that
We are only friends
To this day I'm asking why
I still think about you
So when are all my troubles going to end?
I'm understanding now that
We are only friends
To this day I'm asking why
I still think about you
