Spent
Epitomized contempt, so delirious
Pick me up from the floor, I am resilience
Again
Anticipating the catalyst
I am gout, I am insidious

Metabolize my fragile spine
Face down in an early grave
The wires of my cortex unwind

Torments at bay
I disappear to the depths
Where your body is laid
Six feet beneath
Where these bones burden to tread
Father, where has the light fled?

And if the good die young
Then we're all children born martyrs
Beneath an absent sun

Lay me to sleep
Lull me into the deepest of dreams
Because existence outside of these sheets
Has discovered my own worst enemy

These lungs have lost the will to breathe
Bargained my soul to the devil
but the devil wanted none of me
Sedated within these visions of loathing
I bear the desecrated limbs
of the early deceased

Face buried in their filthy hands
This cloak of masochism I adorn
Has become all that I am

The same wolves that swarm
the ruins of the kill
Are children hand in hand
before the seance of my will

Stay awake for me
Don't be subdued by the quiet of sleep
Your sentience is what brings me peace
My will is your fatality

Lay me to sleep
Lull me into the deepest of dreams
Because existence outside of these sheets
Has discovered my own worst enemy

Stay awake for me
Don't be subdued by the quiet of sleep
Your sentience is what brings us peace
My will is your fatality

I am a storm that has found relief
