These old bones ain’t what they used to be.
Can’t even stand on my own two feet.
All that’s left of me and the life I lead,
Is a twisted spine and a broken dream.
Another step in the wrong direction,
Another wasted breath.
I’d rather sit here and wait for death,
Than piss away my life for nothing
Agony, torment,
Never a moment of peace for me.
Aching, desperate,
Until the moment I cease to be.
Taste the anguish in the air.
Can you feel the pain and despair?
Buried under my own dead weight.
How much more can I take?
How much more can I take,
Of this perpetual state of ache and pain?
It’s making me insane.
Take it away.
Take it away before it fucking takes me.
I am a broken man.
Never a moment of peace for me,
Until the moment I cease to be.
I am a broken man.
When my breath ceases,
Rest in pieces.
Torn apart.
Limb from limb,
Until there’s no more left to give .
Torn apart.
Limb from fucking limb,
Until there’s nothing left to give.
Torn apart.
Until no memory persists
Of this worthless fucking piece of shit
Agony, torment,
Never a moment of peace for me.
Aching, desperate,
Until the moment I cease to be.
Torn apart.

Drown

Bearing the mark of a burdened man,
Betrayed by the work of his hands.
He’ll never feel it, never reveal it.
Conceal the dark with a grain of sand.
Hands to the bone,
Left alone to build sand into stone.
Hands to the fucking bone,
Left alone.
Let the permanence pass,
As it crashes to ash.
Stare into the collapse.
Look ahead to no horizon.
Bleak and cold,
A seeking soul will find no comfort here.
In the dead and cold you’ll find them.
Weak and old,
See them unfold, no time for unheard tears.
My misery drives my senses to the end of my fucking rope.
No dreams to chase, no fears to face,
No heart, no fucking hope.
Pull me down, Let me drown,
I’ll suffocate under the weight of this sickness.
Hear me now, No fucking sound,
Will ever come out of the mouth of this witness.
Silence speaks in volumes,
You’ll never hear my voice again.
Carried by the current,
Caught in the pull of the undertow.
Drifting in misery,
Up to my neck in a river of woe.

These Chains

We are alive,
And that’s more than I can say for you.
Every step we make is another breath we’ve come to take from you.
If you can see our eyes,
You’ve made your last mistake.
One foot in the fucking grave.
I’ll never be your slave.
Suffer in silence,
Is that what you want from me?
Everything you take, every bone you break,
Can never take my humanity.
We have the right to die,
As much we have the right to live.
You can come for my pride,
But my life is mine to give.
You can try to pry this from my cold, dead hands,
If you want to take it from me.
I’d rather give up my life a thousand times,
Than be forced into a life of slavery.
Break these chains,
Retake, reclaim your name.
Escape this tainted place,
Or just stay here in disgrace.
Break these chains,
Retake, reclaim your name,
Or you can live in pain,
Suffer in vain,
Hang your head in shame.
Captive minds make for captive lives,
Trapped inside.
Break these fucking chains,
or hang your head in shame.

Dirt

Why won’t you face me?
That look in your eyes has never changed,
Despite the features of your face that have gone missing.
And now I’m bracing,
For when your fragile, dying frame,
Decides it’s time to give away that you’re not listening.
Your thin lips taste of vinegar and piss.
Your sick face falls apart,
And your body with it.
Your limbs break with the slightest bit of impetus.
A putrid altar of dismemberment.
I will never shake the shame.
It lives in me, it bears your name.
Upon my hands, the stains will remain,
And in your wake, we take the blame.
I can’t shake the shame, so I’ll take the blame.
I can’t say your name, I can’t take the pain.
I can’t shake the shame, so I'll take the blame.
I can’t take the pain.
Take me down to the mouth of the river,
Wash away my sins.
Waiting now for the doubt to deliver,
All of my endings.
All of my ends.
Falling forward for what feels like forever,
Into the endless void, into the nether,
I have seen the worst,
Of what a man can become.
I’ve accepted the fucking terms,
My point of no return.
Lying near the worms,
With the rotting stench of the Earth.
The dying fear no hurt,
Crying tears of dirt.

I’ve lost track of the cracks in the road.
The lines have blurred into the never-ending unknown.
I would open the ground if it would swallow us whole.
There’s nowhere else to go.
I’ve seen everything there is to see,
I have nothing left to fear.
I’ve given every fucking part of me.
I hope I die out here.
Take me as I am,
Or take all that I have.
Arrive with an empty hand,
And you will leave with what you had.
Life has no value beyond what you give it.
It’s not about how much life you have,
It’s how you live it.
I am the king of a nothing dream.
Something I know I’ll never fucking reach.
Every time I close my eyes,
I hope I die in my fucking sleep
Take me as I am
Or take all that I have
Arrive with an empty hand
And you will leave
With exactly what you had
Life has no value beyond what you give it.
It’s not about how much time you have,
It’s how you live it
Take me as I am, bitch.
Get the fuck out of my way.
Let me live.

Son of Oblivion
05:14

A child born of misfortune and pain,
Son of a bitch and a half-breed stray.
Left to mourn in the fucking rain,
For a life I couldn’t have in the first place.
Ripped from the womb and thrown to the wolves,
No chance to survive.
Crib to the tomb, no home for a soul,
Just as dead as alive.
Locked away from my life,
Incarcerated in my mind.
Tear down the barrier to find,
No place to run and hide.
Trace the lines, find the lies,
Separated from my kind.
Break down the barrier to find,
The grass is dead on every side.
I am more than a burden.
I am more than a broken home.
I am a force to be feared,
My resurrection is here, and I will take my throne.
I told you the world was mine,
And I have come to take my rightful place,
From the back of the room, to the front of the crowd,
I take my fucking crown.
It rained the day I was born,
And when i’m gone, the sky will fucking burn.
A black cloud will rain down ash and dirt upon the Earth.
