lyrics

I feel disconnected from the life around me
I’m drawn to the entities fuelling my disintegration
My heart is a void, and my soul is decomposing
I sense death’s presence near but still I am not there

Wandering the streets at night
Endless trail with no end in sight
I persist as it’s my aimless purpose
And sedation is how I carry on

I revel in the cries of endless misery
The ones you always wished to drown out

I’m the one who never really went away
The one you always wished would die
I preach only the words of hate
I only exist to feed your helplessness

I leech off their nefariousness
It feeds my reign of malevolence
I wear my hatred on my face
I’m just here as an aid for deterioration

I drown within the pleasures of narcosis
A prison which I do not care to escape
I watch as lives move on around me
Whilst I slowly become a feast for maggots

In my pessimistic devotion I have power
That’s why I’m the master of my fate
I am the song of self-destruction
I infest the world with my ugliness

I can’t stand
What I see
I’ve been climbing down
Far too long

My reflection
Stares back at me
Lifeless gaze
But it isn’t mine

My only penchant
Delusions of grandeur
Outside my daze
I die with my omnipotence

I cannot fathom
Finding a better way
I’m always on top
If I stay in rock bottom

I sought a grand escape by mocking the axiom
In my insignificance I find comfort, this is where I’m free

This is the coffin, the great monument, in which I shut myself in
Buried alive, trapped between distaste and desire, without the need for air to breathe
