Deathwatch

From the rafters
I hear a sound
A heartbeat other than my own
Surely a sign
Of coming death
A vigil set in stone
I creep onward
Quiet as can be
Filled with anticipation
To finally be free
Black as night
Death rides onward
Colder than the snow
A timeless tale
Instilling fear
Snuffing out our hope
I open the lamp
Just a little bit
Shine it on his eye
Old man you have to die
Throw the mattress over him
Dismember the corpse
Hide him where nobody will see
I'm finally free
Black as night
Death rides onward
Colder than the snow
A timeless tale
Instilling fear
Snuffing out our hope
I'm not mad
I swear I'm well
But I cannot seem to shake
My suspicion that
they already know
And this is all a game
His heartbeat echoes
Through my head
Driving me up the wall
How can I hear it
After death
I admit to it all
Deathwatch beatle

Domesticated

I've been domesticated
My nature has been stolen away
There was nothing wrong with me
But they didn't see it that way
I had to be fixed
How I was wasn't okay
My needs never mattered in the first place
It blends together
It causes me pain
Crashing in, like thunder and rain
A storm is brewing
A rising tide
Overloaded
Pain confined
I had to be fixed
How I was wasn't okay
My needs never mattered in the first place
It blends together
It causes me pain
Crashing in, like thunder and rain
You broke me
I had to be fixed
How I was wasn't okay
My needs never mattered in the first place
It blends together
It causes me pain
Crashing in, like thunder and rain

Death In Crimson

The terrible god grows hungry
With a taste for mortal flesh
Tearing a hole through reality
With his awful hand
All fear the darkness that blots out the light
All fear the darkness, eternal night
All fear the darkness where no light shines
The Crimson God ripping out your spine
The Crimson God grows nearer
Painted red in mortal blood
In his infernal gaze
We all will burn
All fear the darkness that blots out the light
All fear the darkness, eternal night
All fear the darkness where no light shines
The Crimson God ripping out your spine

Fighting for Scraps
01:12

|

You beg like a dog
Fighting for scraps
Giving giving giving
Never getting back
Essentially
You're a slave
One more piece in a sick game
What were you promised?
And what did you get?
Suffering on
For interest of the 1%
You've been beaten down
You're so fed up
Your whole life
Has been one long rut
Disillusioned, lacking faith
One more piece in a sick game
What were you promised?
And what did you get?
Suffering on
For the interest of the 1%
Fuck the system
Smash the state
Stand tall, retaliate
Never, ever look back
What were we promised?
What did we get?
Suffering on
For the interest of the 1%

Like a Car Crash

Like a car crash
The calendar collides with September
My head is fucked, leads me to wonder
Will things ever be alright?
Will I end it all tonight?
I'm wasting time
I'm wasting tears
My pleas and my cries
They fall on deaf ears
I feel like a corpse
Overtaken by a ghost
I am nothing more than your empty host
Late summer sun
So painful and tender
Once flooded in like angry thunder
The world, it spins around me tonight
Dead or alive
Blood is spilled by my own hand
Yet I still question and fail to understand
if there was ever even a reason why
Dead or alive
I'm wasting time
and I'm wasting my tears
My pleas and my cries
They fall on deaf ears
I feel like a corpse
Overtaken by a ghost
I am nothing more than your empty host
Late summer sun
Painful and tender
Once flooded in like angry thunder
The world is spinning around me tonight
Dead or alive
You clearly don't care
But I still love you
Leaving you is one of the things I just can't do
You make me wanna die

Enter Regret
02:57
|
|

|
My heart is stuck in Hagerstown
Where we planned our life
My head is stuck in Alexandria
Where I tried to end mine
I never got to see you
Barely got to say goodbye
A single moment fleeting
Just like your life
I pull myself together
Again and again
Yet I make the same mistake
Fuck my enemies and hurt my friends
I really tried to take it
I tried to be okay
But the abuse had broken me
like a toy, I was thrown away
I let it happen
again and again
I fucked my enemies
And cut off all my friends
It's time to be alone now
It's time to sit in the shade
The looming shadow
Of my mistakes, the choices I made
Picking up the pieces
That no longer fit
I try to put them back together
When I need to begin again
I keep starting over
Trying to rebuild
Use the same schematics
The deathtrap that got me killed

Life In Azure

Life in azure was such a mess
The worst me that I've ever been
Life in azure was such a mess
Hurdling towards an untimely end
Day by day, hour by hour
Giving up all my fucking power
No semblance of the truth
You almost killed me
Fuck you!
I became a black hole
From which no light could escape
Collapsing in on myself
A singularity of hate
Day by day
Wearing at me
Degrading my sanity
Searching for what felt safe
It led me to a deadly place
Burn it to the ground
Face fucking down
Day by day, hour by hour
Giving up all my fucking power
No semblance of the truth
You almost killed me
Fuck you!
