Torn Through The Leather

Laceration
Through the leather skin
The body of these walls
Cauterisation
Distant luxuries
Out of your reach
I’m where you wanna be
Self inflicted
You’d have never imagined this pain
Can you feel this poison
Stretching through your veins
I’ve been trapped here
For twenty fucking years
The light that left my eyes
Has reappeared
You will feel all this blistering pain
Leaking from mounds of discarded remains
I know you feel it now
Strangled by your screaming
Gutted alive and hung by your bowels
Suspended from the ceiling
Self inflicted
Damage from within
Can you feel this poison
Stretching through your veins
Dragged through this life in torment
Just to die the same
Bearing the weight of the concrete
Poured into your grave

An Ignorant Compulsion

Evil is caught
Breeds beneath the skin
Peel myself off the floor
Force itself into vision
Invading my system
Chasing me
Entangling
You're still dead to me
Why do I need you
Repel the infection
That governs decisions
Never free
Always an eye on me
Numb my poisoned mind
Might just lose this time
Waste my last breath
But this won't be my end
How do I kill a feeling
How can I learn to feel whole again

One Last Darkest Day

I’m bound to the past
And fuelled by resentment
A haunting from the life
That I thought I had ended
One last darkest day
Has been gifted to me by the pain
Running out of time
I will never be the same
A fall from grace
Guided to my grave
Envisioning all of the shame
Pathetic
Claw my way into the distance
Fading
Existence
Nurturing my own blissful agony
Infected purity
Constricted humanity
Just misery…
Hollow
Fading
Existence
Enslaved by
My instinct

The last thing you’ll ever see
Beneath my surface
Fuel the furnace
Forge a student of agony
Blind rage
Sees no bounds
Face down
Taste the gravel
When you're dragged through the ground
Hands bound
Unrecognisable
First of my body of work
Piercing screams
Through broken teeth
Fade away as you lay behind me
Close your eyes
Feel the bloodletting
Your arteries draining
Into the soil
Face down
Taste the gravel
When you’re dragged through the ground
Hands bound
Unrecognisable
Sinking
You decompose
The last thing you’ll ever see
Consumed by life and digested
Regurgitated, the master of death
Ten thousand hours of hatred
The last thing that you’ll ever see
Consumed by life and digested
Regurgitated, the master of death
My scythe, forged from torment
Faith left dead on the doorstep

The Hill I'll Die On
05:09

Nothing here was made for me
The summit spares no ecstasy
And I can't believe
That this is the place
Where I wanted to be
A brutal false release
Repent these painful memories
The idyllic truth
Stolen
Accept defeat
And swallow pride
I carried myself here
Just to waste my time
Cut off my strings
Found my purity
Saw the things that I thought I’d never see
Alive to bleed
Killed the enemy
But the hardest thing,
Facing what's in front of me
Accept defeat
And swallow pride
I carried myself here
Just to waste my time
I’d never get here
I’d never leave
I never thought that this place would be so bleak
Nothing here was made for me
The summit spares no ecstasy
And I can’t believe
That this is the place
Where I wanted to be
As my flesh wears down
I still stare ahead
I don't think I can stop now
I’m just wondering when
