The Blood Easily Follows
04:27

Cast down myself, the lesser man
For I know just who I am
Laboured motion worthless, whether blood or breath
The ringing echoes from where I began
Fingertips that smear filth between us
The love that ebbs from dotted line
We all know the blood easily follows
The throbbing rapture, the piteous divine
Kaleidoscopic failure
Abstract and abject

The Blood Never Lies
02:53
|

The faintest scent of sick and distant iron taste
There was never going to be another way
Reborn into greying muck, among the earthen waste
Atrophic hands and gnawed fingers start to shake
Skullen fluids into empty soil
Black hole manifestations
The core collapses on itself
The granular decomposes
As the burning digits flex
Fractured thoughts begin to spiral
Peripheral shocks begin to creep
One last blow for benediction
A prayer of loathing, on my knees
No redaction in these seconds
The clinging pulse, and threaded diction
Time aches and contracts in violence
Beneath shining skin of labored friction
With swollen knuckles, spread the ribs and climb inside
Swallow and be swallowed
For the vortex shall never lie
Be still

Devil be drowned
Devil be still
Collapse of the straight white hope
Press to the sea, pull taut the rope
Baseline of decency to dirtiest of words
To the depths of shame and salt with the absurd
Follow your rank regurgitations
Again and again, ad nauseam
Into the bowels of the unforgiven
Through split tongue and foulest acrid lung
Entitled mass of swirling shit
Swallow your "dream" and choke on it
With every tear of panicked skin
With pounding heart and seizing lung
This
This is for them
This is for your own good
This is all you have ever deserved
Your world is dead

Witches Alone
03:14
|

Rabid cries howl to acrid moon
Gnashing teeth through the flesh of hearth and home
Ash in the arteries, charcoal heart with no compression
Crimsoned arcs white beneath, rote thought, ingrained obsession
Sweat soaks into leather, self flagellate with dead hand
To never have existed, lash by lash, we understand
Alchemic paths alight once darkened descent in the pitch of night
Ritual besieged, in defiance of natures godless plight
Bind these withered hands, once benign and believed
Tie them tight beneath broken back, among the sweat and grief
This lightless ache shall set ablaze those who will not repent
The bled and blessed to turn to ash of obsolescence
Flames to kiss the now unfettered
Forgiveness licks the tender wound
That seeps beneath the broken rib
The weeping heart, ablaze, impugned
Burnt spirits
Witches alone
Burnt spirits, we

Illness And Loathing
02:37
|
|||
Rusted shovel to broken skin
Plunged deep into sodden sin
Trying to return to where I began
Digging deep for the meaning
With the bloodied palms of the damned
Fury fermented within the lowest of ebbs
Haematic annihilation
Nemetic muck within my veins
A worthless god's unloved creation
Enmity lurks within the marrow
With nobody to blame
(Below the surface) the bloated child of each and every ill
Forever whispers my name
It forever whispers my name
“I want you to ache with the guilt
I want you to swallow all blame
I want to show you your true self
Ignoble burden, for shame
Fuck your subtlety and fuck your fragility
Feel the loss and live your futility”
Clawing
Deeper and deeper
To unearth the way things used to be
The way I used to be
The boy I used to be
Sever the head as I begin to suffocate
Just let me breathe
Gagging on the earthen truths
Please let me breathe
Just let me breathe
I cant fucking breathe

Cultfathers

The tainted semen to soil
Bedeviled sons of turmoil
Balled fists of fathers to bring them to spoil
Malleable eyes skyward learn to recall
Corrosive saliva drips from rancid maw
Blurring the vision, shaping the jaw
Guidance and bondage, as is, as before
Ego nulling empathy, wretched and raw
Expression
Stonewalled
Victims
Aren't we all
Free will
In thrall
So empty and obtuse
Open means weakness
Follow obsequious
Silence and oppress
Condemning victims and vile
Insidious, manhood defiled
Generational blight
Virulence unhindered, heart crushed by might
Law of the strong, law of the right
Compassion carrion, stillborn in dead light
Our bonded slaves devour each word
Vibration cancer mimicked, their nature perturbed
Dualism of all ills, loathsome and absurd
From male to male to female (to the unheard)
The toxicity permeates, from mimicry to DNA
The sons of our fathers, the virus, the host
All are to suffer, the unborn, the ghosts
All are to suffer

Null Apostle
07:04
|

When the goodness turns to poison
And lines, they permanently etch
Cavernous nausea distills and sighs
Limp ribs groan with every single breath
Monochromatic alleviation
Seeping from these filthy veins
Stripped of every rotten layer
Revealing naught but guilt and shame
Worthless words are all I have
... And they mean NOTHING
Once so sure that I could save you
Now I know I can't even save myself
Worthless apostle dead beneath the water
No purpose, just memories adrift
This is the rawest pain I have ever known
I'll ever know
I hope I'm never found
