Liquified flesh
Incendiary screams
Makers of the death sky’s
Pure souls deflowered
Innocence is lost
Upon the sludge flames
A concophony of choas
Animals and humans in discord
A chorus of hellish screams
War of the unholy heroes
Jungle of the burnt man
Wasted time
Wasted lives
Lost to the fumes of time
Earth that is beyond scorched
The scars of the unfair
Breathe stolen; life ablaze
The dinosaur’s coal
Turned into another extinction attempt
Gorillas won; patriots lost
Like a dog being scolded
Forgive us not
Naplam rain; knows no end
Naplam destruction left innocents
Naked, burned and afraid
History remembers
Forgive and forget How about rage and flames Scorched earth Bloody blows Charcoal conscience, blackened by ire Forged upon the belt Feasted upon my kindness Love knows me not Forgiveness forgave me not No, for my wrath is my shield Upon my shield lays your head Burned upon my memory Conclave behind my back Soaked up my light For nothing left, but the abyss you left Voided and nullified I am a mummified spirit A spirit of wraith Forgive you? I would rather scorn you.
Lost prophet; upon divination I see the third eye The eye that consumes The eye that repeats The eye that refuses the line The Oracle of ouroboros The repeat of fatal flaws The life not worth living
Alas my meeting grows near I know what happens This life I have lived time and time again I fail to change the path I grow; I sow I weep upon my failure As I look into your eyes, I saw my future go up in flames Again I see my life ending The ouroboros spins in their eye The false prophet repeats The tormentor rejoices
The never-ending game of cat and mouse; My life repeats; I am consumed in flames The snake wraps around my throat My eyes go pale; my skin blackens The blue flame consumes; while I get consumed My future scorched; my demons repeat My sins were not forgiven As I gnash my teeth; he slashed my feet As I wailed; and I grew pale My soul weeped; as I seep 
The undying flame grew clear My screams anew; my father in the waiting room Life repeats; as I screech My game begins again To hide from the ouroboros again
Earthquakes no longer feel so foreign to my body Vile feelings of pain have become the norm Whirlwind of blades feel numbing Tremors of isolation have overtaken me Numbness and isolation Earthquakes of emotions; I have stopped feeling
The precipice of reality have become obscured Darkness protects me Isolation guides me Loneliness has become my friend Trust no one but myself Earthquakes of suicide has broken me
Massacre of the childhood dreams; numb me
My life I swore to live; have left me
The pain of past realities; haunt me
Tornados of the past life; uplift and hurl me
Tsunami of depression; consume me
Earthquake of despair; decimate me
Staring at the empty void; contemplating life I wonder if this life is worth living The shallow grave of a worthless life The Angel intervenes; she restores my passion The flood of memories; long lost have returned Earthquake of hope; deafen me
Standing at the edge of tomorrow Light has pierce the veil of protective shadows Hope has blessed me; memories of myself return The pale husk of depression and despair Begin to fade and life begins anew Earthquakes of love; shattered the pressure
Earthquakes come with change Earthquakes shock the crippled mind Life changes; darkness fades; armor cracks The man with a thousand masks; lost them The person who lived in blackness; feels anew Earthquakes of emotions; no longer feel foreign
Everybody, everywhere Live lives far different from my own Some are successful Some are torturous The lives of the many The lives I cannot comprehend Breaks the mind to try to comprehend Life is beyond the mind
Everybody, everywhere lives differently from me Interconnected through the internet, Even if I think I know you, I know only a fracture of you Everyone, everybody has secrets Some secrets go to the grave Some destroy lives Some destroy yourself
Everybody, everywhere has darkness within A complexity of webs, lies, and darkness Only the blissful few, are not tormented The life inside the mind, is beyond understanding The life of a friend, may seem happy But tomorrow, they hang cold and lifeless Everyone is complex Everybody is unique
Everybody, everywhere are equal as humans Everybody, however, do not have equal lives Some lives do not matter to you, And yet they matter to someone else When mass tragedy happens, we all feel it We are humans are connected, Yet we try to separate from each other Isolation, the key to desecration
Everybody, everywhere has good in them Those who do not, are not connected They are the outcast, we must attest to the enigmas We must condemn the evil, we must be good Those of us who feel empty Must try and fill, the complexity of life The complexity of everything, Leads to nihilism
Everybody, everywhere lives mean nothing Nothing matters in the end, Everyone lives complex lives, who all will die Nothing lasts forever, no one matters forever Life is ever changing, and yet humans will always Be connected through shared hardship, Shared pain, shared hatred, shared humanity And yet, life does not matter, nobody matters
If wishes fell like rain, then Certainly I am a storm I am a dreamer Big dreams Little dreams Wishes upon wishes I stare upon a moon I wish for gold I wish for happiness I wish to be ok, Oh how I wish my wishes come true A never-ending paradox of wishes My mind is always wondering I wish I could be normal
My hopes are always dashed, I wish I could be happy, I have forgotten what happiness feels like, Numb to the world, numb to reality, I wish I could feel again, Pain being the only reminder that I am real, I wish….I wish…. I work hard, yet I get no joy I help people, yet I get no joy I laugh, yet I get no joy I wish I could just be ok I wish I could be happy I wish upon the tomb of my despair, That my fractured memory be erased My abused mind to shut down I wish to be myself again
I wish to be able to dream at night again, I wish to run and play again I wish to see myself in the mirror I have felt the pain of a thousand lives And yet it’s all in my head I wish to be me again I wish….
Trapped in a tomb of nothingness No light, no sound Encased in the isolation of my prison Damped and removed from all I hear the blood flowing through my veins The sound of my heart pumping The outside silence, the inside turmoil My brain is going to fast to understand My heart is racing I am in the void of absolute silence
My pain, my sorrow, and my hatred My sins have caught up My wrath won, my envy won Now I am paying the ultimate price For I killed my family; they are at peace I am now to suffer for eternity, body and soul My choices left me a husk The void will not let me die My eternal prison of silence
Left with nothing left but my own thoughts I will never die from the hunger, I will never die from the thirst, But those are not the biggest calamity The silence, the painful silence The pain of never hearing My mind hallucinates sounds My mind hallucinates everything I am trapped in nothingness
I know nothing of what I look like anymore I know nothing of sound anymore I know nothing anymore An eon has passed and still eternity awaits The curse will never let me go insane I will always know what I have done I will always know the price I had to pay I am a decrepit soul I am eternal I am buried alive
The dreadful silence is my tomb
My worst nightmare come to life
Truly alone
Truly by myself
Truly alone with my emotions
Nothing else I can do
But suffer for my sins
I cannot repent
I cannot be forgiven
This is my punishment
I stand upon this precipice
Looking out over the valley of shadows
The sun dipped down underneath my feet,
The moon tipping over my head
The sun beams radiating just below the trees
The moon white light shines upon me
Darkness will soon envelope the valley
But at this moment
At this very moment
The meeting of light and darkness
Creates a beauty like no other
The sun conceding it’s light to the darkness of space and oblivion A peaceful wind blows over the mountain, A peaceful moment in the craziness of life The crisp wind grows ever colder as the sun hides And yet I still stand tall My love of isolation My love of quietness of nature My love of nature As the sun begins to fall lower The stars come out to say hello The night sky begins anew
The rocks under my feet, feel smooth and hard As the weather drops, the rocks begin to get cold Much like my resolve to leave this place The beauty begins to fade away But the peace never flees My heart stands against my mind My body grows turns to stone; As my heart wishes to remain But my mind wishes to leave, To preserve one’s life
Alas I must begin my departure, The fading light within the darkness The predators will begin to raise Awakening to hunt, I do not wish to be here The fear of painful consumption overtakes; The love of twilight Again, the preservation of life win Maybe next time twilight will win For now I leave to begin the tireless track Begin the dauntless week ahead Peace will come again When I travel here again
As the hazy light filtered through the trees A peaceful breeze cuts through the trees A swamp of fog and sod Dirty and full of gunk Yet peaceful, the animals live and love The water is still, the mind is free The plants stand tall A dirty place for mindful peace Light piercing through the fog With darkness all around Life is wonderful Life is peace here And yet My mind is only peaceful In this swamp.
