DAEMON TINCTURE

It's hard to conceive that time don't deceive
So difficult for me to collapse into sleep
Making it simple to feed my disease
A hypocrisy born of pure absolute conceit

Failing in the moment
The devil's in the chemical compounds inside of me
I have become obsolete in my obscurity

I'm anxious
So anxious
But can't get away

Fall down into the dark
Please just give me strength
What's within the daemon tincture

The boatman awaits me
It's time to ride this wave of tarnished silver to black shores
Skies have become desolate with pus filled engorged sores
The gates of Erebus
Shriek open on rusted hinges to scenes of mortality
Gone wrong soon to the cacophony of sarcophagy

I eat - i eaT
Dead meat - dead meaT
Beaten black and gangrene
I bleed - i bleeD
Disease - diaeasE
Over the open flames

I'm anxious
So anxious
But can't get away

Fall down into the dark
Please just give me strength
What's within the daemon tincture

Drink the laudanum
As scarlet wine
Flows through the stricture
Pain becomes pregnant
When agony dines
On daemon tincture
