Constrict. Around a burdened soul.
Life's only constant is the suffering owed.
A scar, where I cut in and let it flow.
To feel the dark come creeping in.
In the dirt, I'll feel at home.
Wasted flesh, husk of skin and bone.
Born to breed, and die alone.
When body and mind are broken.
And the razor sinks deep.
I'll whisper, to the maggots.
What this world has made of me.
Weary of life
Conditioned to fail
This hollow shell,
Crushed.

Blood Means Nothing

Bred from scum without a spine,
Forced to make the most of,
The life you left behind,
Weakness in the seed I've grown from.
Your line is lost.
The damage is done.
A father would stay.
Like a coward you run.
We are not, the same.
I hate the part of you, that lives in me.
(Create a life, then leave, like fucking game.)
I hate the part of you, that lives in me.
(I reject, the blood, that's in my veins)
The only thing I ever learned from you,
To run, from all i, love.
You'll find an open casket,
In the grave that you dug.
Bury the image of,
Your own flesh and blood.
Only thing I ever learned from you
To run, from all I, love.
You'll find an open casket,
In the grave that you dug.
Bury the image of,
Your own flesh and blood.
The bastard son, that you couldn't love.

No remorse for the pain you inflict.
Spineless enforcers in this world of shit.
Your legacy is suffering.
Force your ideals through fear.
Sworn to serve and protect.
But your intentions are clear.
To degrade,
and enslave.
(Behind that badge, and gun you're weak)
You'll find, the violence you seek.
For all the blood, you can't wash clean;
A slow end, for a fucking fiend.
I won't ever give an inch.
To a racist piece of shit.
Your legacy is suffering.
Force your ideals through fear.
Sworn to serve and protect.
But your intentions are clear.
I refuse your authority.
To be silent is to acquiesce.
You'll get no respect from me.
All you're missing is a hood and dress
Pig.

Skull Fragments

You've only caused pain.
Control me through fear.
My blood runs cold.
I'd cry for help,
But no-one's gonna save me.
Searching for an escape.
I found my hate,
Shame.
Disgrace, Engraved.
In your skull fragments.

Apathy
03:24
|
|||
|
Born as, a burden.
Force fed, self doubt.
No comfort in your eyes.
And the lies from your mouth.
The product of ..... lust.
Your object of .... Abject shame.
Bury me, under your fear and regret.
Clipped wings, for your own pride.
I won't fault you, for the choices you made.
But I know, I can't end up the same.
And I found,
Reassurance
In seeing you
self destruct.
Put your failures on me,
Misplace the blame once again.
Now I won't pick you up.
When your life falls apart.
You've pulled me down.
I shed my skin
To free myself.
I won't drown with you.
I watched the hate,
That you forced
Into me.
Devour you,
And I felt nothing.
