The Death Of...

Dissonance;
A sound in my voice
You left me broken
Hollow body of this anguish.
Promising
If I see you again
No law, or consequence
can stop my hand.
All my blood is spilt.
Memories are full of shame
And absolute horror
I suffocate under the weight
Of what you've done
I won't let you
Tear another life away
You will know my pain
I am finished hurting
I am the victim no longer.

Memoirs Of An Idealist
02:59

Contortion of fate
Knowing there’s no salvation
I search for answers
Knowing there are none I’d accept
I bathe in this purity
Certainty, I will leave you behind
I only cry for those who
Have tied themselves to me
This restless vessel
Imprisoned by self
I embrace the absurdity
We sleep in death
I don't belong here
I never will
I feel I know my fate
It will end on my own terms
Encourage me to find a life devoid of meaning
I'm sorry if I let you down but I can't ignore the truth.
I'd rather be disillusioned by some fallacy
Than sink into this cold grave
And I spoke to you of my reasoning
But you couldn't understand
Because I spoke words of nothingness
And silence filled our ears
I cry for you.

Force this on me
It's not enough
I need a reason
For this pain to live in me.
Lay in this bed of withering promises
A voice from the past echoes in my head
I let myself down, I am blinded by fear
Tied down by a thought that became my grave
I’ve left all the things that I can't be
All I want is to have it all drown.
I lost it all to a sleep where I never dream
Guilty for all the things that I can't change
My stomach will bleed to serve as a consultation
Forgiveness is all I can ask for
In this, my final plea to be something great; someone worthwhile to you
This silence will no longer be mine.

Moments Of Reflection
03:52
|
|||
|
I try to grasp what time I have left
Because I watched it slip past your hands
Sleep inside your poison mentality
And you will wither as you came
A loveless pariah with nothing to give.
I see you with closed eyes
See your body laid out; deathless
I see what you hold so close
A catatonic sense of good
The peroration of your morality
You never questioned what you hold true
A shaking coward, so afraid of
Your righteousness becoming what it truly is.
These lies and deceptions
Contort the truth
Buried inside this
Shallow grave
Swallowed whole by vices
Your words hold no weight
My arms are empty
Carrying what you gave to me
Pushing aside
These moments of reflection
Just so I can be the hero of this fiction
I'd rather choke on the truth
Than live in lies.
But I have never been one for forgiveness
A virtue that I can't afford.
A terrifying premise; your conviction to truth
Meaningless, I offer this consultation.
It's your choice to take it.

An Eroding Frame
04:39
|

As ashes elope the sky
I long for your embrace
And as your lifeless eyes look back at me
I am washed with the weight of abjection.
Pried from my hands
Your seraphic presence
My heart forever facing the sun
I live everyday heavy-hearted
Choking on dissatisfaction
Breathing with collapsed lungs
Dreaming of the aurora I once saw.
Submerged in misery
(I won't leave you)
Amid a primrose path
(Until you know)
Underneath my palms
(How much I love you)
I felt your heart stop.
The absence of love
The pain of forfeiture
This reverence
This undiminished pain
Has led me to
My place of interment.
As I stand here on a barren shore
With the memory of the sunlight's radiance
And our hands intertwined
I look to my side and realize
You're not standing there
Only your voice and your presence still reside
I let go of this thought
And my heart flourishes.
You are here with me.
