Fallen Daydream
A fallen angel
and a fallen sky
a shard of glass
in a broken eye
a stream of blood
down a hill of bones
makes the giants laugh
while the children cry
If I surround myself
in a swamp of pain
no one will hear me scream
it's hard to hear
what you disdain
when you suffocate
in a sea of fear
A crack of dawn
spills out the tar
from the newnight sky
and it's unhealed scar
as it's torn in two
by hands of blue
tight and fast in the grip of
Exsanguination
If you wish to...
and a fallen sky
a shard of glass
in a broken eye
a stream of blood
down a hill of bones
makes the giants laugh
while the children cry
If I surround myself
in a swamp of pain
no one will hear me scream
it's hard to hear
what you disdain
when you suffocate
in a sea of fear
A crack of dawn
spills out the tar
from the newnight sky
and it's unhealed scar
as it's torn in two
by hands of blue
tight and fast in the grip of
Exsanguination

Butterflies Of Hell
I am full of poison
And in need of release
My skin breathes fire
And stains my clothes
My pain laughs at your'e love
A giggle at my funeral
Wings that were once beautiful
now are brushing against my skin,
and leave a metallic taste on my barren lips
I have become most beautiful demons I hide
They tell me these butterflies keep me alive
at the tip of their wings I grasp
But my heart strings are severed like an instrument in the midst of rapture
I let out sounds no one hears
All kinds of silence.
These...
And in need of release

First Slice
First a slice
Then a tear
It started with a drip
Then a a trickle
Ending with a gush
This is how sanity slips
Nothing sensible remains
Only an urge to destroy
Finally numb to the world
This coming darkness
The friendliest feeling
All the agony inside
Is slowly fading
To nothing
Then a tear
It started with a drip
Then a a trickle
Ending with a gush
This is how sanity slips
Nothing sensible remains
Only an urge to destroy
Finally numb to the world
This coming darkness
The friendliest feeling
All the agony inside
Is slowly fading
To nothing

Your name is One More
late night glass and avalanching priorities
like ache
like smother
like waiting for the better
between ‘please stop’
and ‘leave me the hell alone’.
Winter winds are not
breaths you are willing to claim
and that sticky wood beneath trembling fingers
might know your real name
your face
your dna
the things you’re trying to whisk away -
that makes you no less responsible for their actions.
and you’ve monsters on your skin
that you are unsure how to bridal;
you are a gas line

You, I or She?
- PART ONE -
This tale is a warning, about a vice and its woe,
Of the lesson I learnt, and the ones yet to know.
See, the end is unwritten, might be my final farewell,
To the good and the bad, to the heaven and hell.
But the tale should be told, and so I’ll commence,
I’ll be open and honest and try not cause offence.
The whole story started less than eighteen months ago,
With me overweight, out-of-shape and my self-esteem low.
I was awkward and sad but was so sick of my lot,
I’d work out to get thin; it was no...

Rain on me
The rain pours and the sound fuffils my ears chanting down into my core.
My mind fuffiled with the melody, the litter patter splashing in and out.
Fading into a blissful cloud, cold and breathless.
My pain washes away, within and without of me.
Draining all of me.
My mind fuffiled with the melody, the litter patter splashing in and out.
Fading into a blissful cloud, cold and breathless.
My pain washes away, within and without of me.
Draining all of me.

Stranger in the Mirror
I think today,
I hate myself,
Even more than yesterday.
I stepped on the scale,
Looking for more to loathe.
The number was too high,
So I stuck my finger down my throat.
I stand in front of the mirror,
The person reflected is not me.
I see my stretch marks,
My greasy hair,
My crooked nose,
My stubby legs,
But I do not see me.
Because this reflection,
This person,
This version of myself,
Is hollow.
Maybe I'll wake up tomorrow,
And decide to smile,
To...

Re. Satan's Son
I begged you to kill me, do it tomorrow
Never had life anyways, just borrowed
This time I don't ask for your forgiveness
I tried everything but still brought you only illness
I'm unfit, I admit
I shouldn't exist, finish me, I won't resist
When I'm finally dead, you can smile when they engrave my name to the stone
My death is your own, please let my family mourn
When you watch from afar and my friends leave me to peace
Go to my grave and give me back all you once took, every piece
I burned the world for you when you were cold ...
Never had life anyways, just borrowed
This time I don't ask for your forgiveness

My death is your own, please let my family mourn
When you watch from afar and my friends leave me to peace
Go to my grave and give me back all you once took, every piece

Noose (instrumental by Mors)
Movie film, I fit the script
Who be him, I groove that hit
Watch it fall in place around me
Slip the noose I wear it proudly
Locked and loaded
Lots to show and I should really go with it
Stop n slowed a moving ghost
I truly know I'm losing it
Shut me down - stainin' crown
Creep and crawl around my cuts
Beat me down I be around
Substance suffer not enough
I am sick -burn my wick all up
You think I give a fuck
You'd be wrong
I'll take fall and fold into the deeper darkness
Trenches of...
