Shallow

Cooks us down, wears us out, makes us clean. Brown lights, more than shade, can God create, did he fade? Designs drip and die, the paint makes a face. The cords pull and draw, so shallow, no depth. Look for dark, there's nothing there. Relief is ugly, no tongue. It cannot last, it will come undone. The coil of autonomy bends and breaks, The shame of existence halts and stays. Your god, your fault. Feeling so sick, we'll build again.

It burns up, it sticks and melts. I come undone, I twist and burn.

It walks around, it's made for you. It bleeds and breaks, afraid so new. Eyes turn inside to look within. Steam rises, destroys the skin. Destroys the skin.

Painted skin melts, Angles of bone. Teeth will fall out, Broken I give, I give. Broken, I give, I give. Hurting my will, I can't. Broken, I give, I give. Hurting my will, I can't. Get your fucking hands down. This is gonna be a bad time. Undead, broken head Leaking out of the vessel. There's something wrong With what you put in there. Toxic, noxious Just enough to pretend There's nothing wrong With what you put in here. Don't need to look in here. Don't fucking look in here.

Reliquary in Ruin

Couldn't give a goddamn Put beneath the sand; Rank bay city, Lazy liberty, Loves labor; Lonely lover, Can't ask Her a favor. Try to write it down. Try to keep off the pounds. Doesn't matter; can't shatter The rings of Saturn.

The Enemy

I feel them watch over me. I'm the victim. Can't get back to sleep; Nightmarish visions Keep me awake, Tethered to the system. I already know Don't try to sell it to me. It's as if you don't trust me, Like I'm still your enemy.

Empty, Drained, and Dry
05:49

Digs from the inside, wants out. Dripping in stains, traps you. Go on, let's go, go, leave it. Screams from above, "you're doing it wrong". Can't abstain. Dawns the age of discord; I'm to blame And demand destructive force. Total discontent Drives me to fly. Writhing in the dirt; Barely can deny. Doesn't matter now, Free to fetishize. Filled up, Empty, drained, and dry.

You've deafened me. Tell me twice. They really Crossed the line. I can't compete. Manage my head to my feet. Discrete signals sigh and repeat; Discord weighs in, The manic howl of insanity. You've got a fierce bark, Rips the seams. I don't hear it Outside my screams. It floats up, Chained in ice. Makes me static, bound, and tied.

I took a ride around the room. These broken bones inside of you, There cracking, bursting; They'll come to bloom, A red rain, flowers of pain. Disintegration, fashionable. Factions align, misalign. Footwork backwards, yet designed. Dark dirt, objectified, Become foul or fair.
