WORST OF ME

In place of existence
Is only nothingness
My utmost persistence
Leads to maggots' caress

We are fuel for the carrion
Gnawing, ravenous, on our bones
Eternal darkness behind dead eyes
Where the worst of us go to die

Gone are - GONE ARE - those final days of patience
Face to - FACE TO - face with the one who gave a shit
But he lays dead inside his sarcophagus
I've become - BECOME - a relic of eons past

Because within myself
I sense the worst of humanity
Because my fractured mind can't grasp the truth
That there's any hope left for me

Fall of acceptance
Haunts me in mirrors
Just give me my sentence
It's never been clearer

Stubborn - STUBBORN - I still fight this monster
That seems - THAT SEEMS - to share its face with me
This presence is at war with all of my morals
It's raking me across the coals

The coals
THE COALS ARE BURNING ALL NIGHT LONG

Because within myself
I sense the worst of humanity
Because my fractured mind can't grasp the truth
That there's any hope left for me

I hate them all
The demons' maul
Will never be
Sated

The dead and the dying
Are calling out to me
HOW CAN I EVER BREAK THESE CHAINS
If I am ever to be set free

Because within myself
I sense the worst of humanity
Because my fractured mind can't grasp the truth
That there's any hope left for me

Stillborn - STILLBORN - is any newfound heart
That tries - THAT TRIES - to live inside this shell
This presence is at war with all of my morals
It's raking me across the coals

The coals
THE COALS ARE BURNING ALL NIGHT LONG
