Misguided Fear

Grasping at straws {Grasping at straws}
Reaching for the lifeline
My heart grows weak, my body grows weary
They tell me the time has come
But I must see the sun rise
I must dwell upon my miserable routines
I must live, no matter how
If I have to beg and plead for a continuation
For this farce of an existence, then so be it
This looming emptiness is not made for me
In desperation
I see salvation that eludes me
No excuses, no explanations
No apologies
Now it must be faced
This dreaded doorway between two worlds
Where everything is equally worthless
My soul spasms in horror and crumbles to dust
My life, once thought eternal
Ends just like how it began, in screams
OVERWHELMING, CLARITY
In my mother's milk I drank death
And all my life I've longed for the casket
Thus, all resentment turned to adoration
All fear reduced to nothing
All questions lose their meaning
Thorough and complete deconstruction
SAVOR
THIS GLORIOUS VOID OF BEING!
In my mother's milk I drank death
And all my life I've longed for the casket

Company of one
Why do we reach to the sky
Before we seek for unity between ourselves?
Is it to escape the fellow man
And the vast unknown within him
That makes the skies pale
WE ARE NOTHING but gears and teeth a oil
IN A MACHINE that makes all worthwhile
The freedom we seek is solitude
THE FREEDOM TO PUT THE SELF BEFORE ALL ELSE
ALONE! in a crowd of millions
CHOOSING TO PLEASE ONLY FEW
Where do our limits lie?
Who shall be the final straw?
It is said that those who live without
Are strong and know no shackles
[But they are crippled by their own nagging doubts
Of what is right and what is foolish]
ALONE! in a crowd of millions
SEEKING TO PLEASE ONLY TWO
The self and its lust to be pleased
In a carnal cycle of self-distraction
So go ahead and cut the rope
And fall to your own personal darkness
WE SHALL WAIT AND SEE!
HOW QUICKLY YOU CLIMB BACK UP!
ALONE! in a crowd of millions
WISHING TO BE WITH ONLY YOU
I never sought for the company of none
But the COMPANY OF ONE!

The Glass Coffin

Oh such revulsion I feel
As I behold this broken, bloated race of men
Who lose their hearts to daydreams
And through their reasoning rid them
Of whatever inspiring beauty they had
These apes who call themselves wise
Have lost in spine what they gained in worthless facts
And their elitism runs as rampant
As their limp will to avoid hardship
Their days are spent in blindfolded, DROOL-STAINED HEDONISM!
That cages their good intent into EMPTY WORDS AND WORTHLESS DEEDS!
Having no sight of tomorrow or beyond
Only for whatever abhorrence that passes their time
We are the only animals that passively watch life happen
We fear death so much and yet when it comes
We find nonexistence comparable with the lifetime before
Their days are spent in blindfolded, DROOL-STAINED HEDONISM!
That cages their good intent into EMPTY WORDS AND WORTHLESS DEEDS!
Having no sight of tomorrow or beyond
Only for whatever abhorrence that passes their time
Until the veins of the world are clogged
With the grease of wasted potential
The masses of biomass will never stop
And truly look upwards

Love this Image
05:56
|

Love what you see
Not what is
WORSHIP! what is given to you
NOT WHAT! you craft alone
Deceit and trickery rhyme with human nature
Smoke and mirrors hide the hollowness within
Hideous
Counterfeit
What must one do
To avoid the shattering of images?
What must I do?
What should I seek
Perception altered by what you claim to know
See and ignore the contradiction between truth and your vision
Willingly
Shut your eyes
Love this image with passion
It might just love you back
At the hour of your birth
The lies latched onto your side
Silently they grow stronger
And in time, they took control
Their wretched mass drowned the child below
THE PROCESS OF GROWING IS LEARNING HOW TO LIE!
Love this image with passion
Love this lie with all your heart
It might just love you back

Just how far have we come?
Beyond sickness, beyond age, beyond decay
And yet the spirit of man fails to evolve
Despite our excellence we are stained in the heart
We perceive ourselves as the ultimate intellect
Infallible in every possible way
And that gives us the rights of the firstborn
The right to continue toying around with everything below us
This abomination that is called a human
So vain and vacuous, so fucking repugnant
Drifting aimlessly through his years
Stuck in a perpetual state of denial
A silent lingering desire still remains within
A fragment in the original code
When everything has been brought before us
When nothing under the sun is new
We still need something more
We turn our worshipping inwards
And kneel before our own superior minds
For our beauty matches the countenance of gods
And our depravity overshadows all the creatures of the dark
This abomination that is called a human
So vain and vacuous, so fucking repugnant
Drifting aimlessly through his years
Stuck in a perpetual state of denial
Clinging desperately onto everything
While all inexorably slips away
Never finding what he missed so dearly
The little piece of the original code

The rise of a giant sun
Heralds the fall of life (FALL OF LIFE)
The clouds gather and cast a shadow (SHADOW)
The whispering wind grows to a howl
With heaving lungs THEY DRAW BREATH
Their heartblood stains the soil (THE SOIL)
BLINDED BY A LANCE OF PIERCING LIGHT
Their voices will be smothered in the dark
After a night of remebrance
A new dawn breaks in nuclear fire (FIRE)
Look into the darkest corner of your soul
And face the answer to the question:
WHAT MAKES US HUMAN!?
It is the unbearable sorrow of knowing
That all is finite
All is finite
With heaving lungs they draw breath
Their heartblood stains the soil
BLINDED BY A LANCE OF PIERCING LIGHT
THEIR VOICES WILL BE SMOTHERED IN THE DARK
