This Is It

Test of my mettle
Proof of my skill
Trial of soul and spirit and will
This, this is it!
The moment I prove who and what I am
I will brand this eternal second as my own
It all comes down to this tunnel vision moment
And it’s all up to me
I will run, I will burn, I will fly
Don’t look back, don’t look down, this is it!
Scream, fight, sweat, blood
Ready? Set? Go!

There is no escaping now
My mind’s made up and set
Life is only interesting an inch away from death
I let go of the reins
Give my life for a rush of blood
Feed my body to the ground
Adrenaline, be my cyanide
I might fall straight to hell
Death, the pinnacle of thrill
Take a breath before the jump!
(Don’t) pull the cord!
Fly!!!
Splat.

Antisepsis

Haunted halls filled with future corpses
The coming of death is only a matter of time
But in here, time slows to a crawl
The inevitable only held at bay
Purgatorial sterility
Noxious smell of nothingness, sickening
Ants beneath my skin
Medication gone awry
Victim of my body, I lie in agony
When will it be over? Why must this be?
Normal life seems so far away
As toxins spread in side of me
Inhumanity and impossibility creep upon me
Let me be alive again
Never-ending halfway state
Let me be alive!
Surgical tools tear at my flesh
Remove the contaminant, all for the best
Organ malfunction, spilling disease
Unconscious as they dig inside of me
Nausea, paranoia, catatonia, all the same
No line between troubled sleep and miserable wake
Blankly stare at flickering shapes
As uninteresting world trudges on outside these white-washed walls
Vertigo, no sense of time
Hours spiral down below my bed
Unfounded dread only state of mind
This numbness is worse than the pain ever was
Starvation therapy
Make me weak to keep me alive
Break me down to heal me

To War!

Man your weapons! Stand your ground!
Face the enemy and don’t back down
Open fire!
In this war of words, I will be stronger
I came not alone, now prepare for war
Engage!
We came for our honor
Our heads will be held high
And we will not be cowered
When we see the whites of their eyes
Oh! Your values are your own
Be steadfast and be known
War of words, culminating
Flock of birds, circulating

God of Pain
05:41
|
|

|
Let us proclaim the mystery of faith!
Wash away the sinners, a coward’s genocide
Require own creations to be burned as sacrifice
Take by force the lives of those who aren’t his chosen few
His jealous insecurity will be the death of you
Subject yourself to torture, live a life of guilt
Deprive yourself of meaning in the glass house you’ve built
I can see right through it but yet you still insist
That choosing all this misery is foolish to resist
He commands you to suffer
He commands you to bleed
He slaughters entire nations
His ego to feed
God of Love, he calls himself, but says he should be feared
Your state of mental childhood persists throughout the years
Because-I-said-so logic condoned in Sunday school
Jesus loves you, this you know, for the Bible tells you so
You hate in the name of love
Your fate dictated from above
His vengeance is endless
His laws are insane
You believe in his ramblings, however inane
History is riddled with the sins of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
Kiss the feet of Christ or suffer the wrath of the Heavenly Host
Bow to your God of Pain

Kill Your Darlings
02:02
|
|
||
|
Beauty is in the eye of the holder of the knife
Beauty that must be destroyed!
Better to have loved and lost than to have your love killed by someone else
If you want to survive in this cut-throat world then you’ve got to:
Kill your darlings!
Only those who know your secrets can betray your trust
So don’t let them in
But you can’t be afraid to kill if you must
To cover up your sin

Russian Sleep Experiment

Five prisoners, fifteen days
Monitored chamber, false promise of freedom
Gaseous neurostimulant
Wakefulness takes its toll on their minds
Paranoia and furtive pleas
Whispering to nobody until they start to scream
Oxygen consumption considerable
Dead silence from the five
Pages of books smeared with feces
To block the view from outside
We are opening the chamber!
Step away from the door!
You will be shot unless you lie on the floor!
We no longer wish to be freed…
OH GOD, WHAT THE FUCK?!
We’ve eviscerated ourselves and each other
Stuffed the flesh of our fellow down the drain
The water in which we bathe is mostly blood
The food we now digest is our own skin
Please don’t make us leave here!
Please turn on the gas!
Now we will fight to stay awake
Superhuman strength we now possess
Even with our organs strewn around
We relish the pain of surgery
And anesthetics we will not accept
We are what you fear and what you hide
We’ve become what lurks inside of every man
We cannot follow when you close your eyes at night
Kill me if you must
I was so nearly free…

Patternless emptiness
Leave behind fortress to chase after fog
Cannot hold on
Sinking in a sea of possibility
Questions, answers
Never seem to coincide
Crazy, senseless
Finally arrive to find a whitewashed room
Threads, spinning
This is how the will unravels
Waiting for all of this to finally mean something
For someone to come from the past and put the pieces together
One look, one touch, and it’ll all make sense
Fingers close, triumphant grasp
Nothing in the shaking fist
Shivering in a corner
Waiting for the shadows to pass
Light can only enter through this wall of stained glass
Scouring the sky for meaning
Only revealed it as a void
Cosmos agoraphobia

Valley of Fear

Fear grips this valley
Death is common trade
Terror rules with a silent fist
Secret society
Undercover, infiltrate
Poison from within
Keep up nefarious appearances
Become one of them
Cold blood, cold smile
Don’t give a chance to fight
Just light the match, stand back
Murder has been done this night
Watch it burn
No return
Soon they’ll have what they deserve
Go! Now!
We must flee for our lives
The deed is done
The war is won
Don’t look back now
Just turn and run
Let it burn!
