Thoughts racing, thinking of escaping Am I trapped? Have I been confined to live in this place of regret? This is all my fault, placed here through my actions, never to feel again the grace of satisfaction Death appears to be the only light, it feels like there’s no reasons left to fight A hostage to my own mentality, an everlasting insanity There is no breaking free the chains of subconscious slavery Consumed by the thoughts in my head, nothing makes sense but the voices want me dead Constricted by the walls of my mind, telling me to leave this all behind. Oh how I crave such a shallow grave; bring me to my final resting place Death holds a constant grip on me My head forever held in shame, forget my face, forget my name Disintegrate all feelings once felt, pandemonium is where i’m left to dwelt Beating hearts never felt so cold, living within this hell all alone Ceasing to exist is all I’ve ever known Calloused, broken, bruised and bleeding My inner compass has lost its true north, always contemplating back and forth Standing on the fringes of existence, pushed from the edge of my subsistence A hostage to my own mentality, an everlasting insanity There is no breaking free the chains of subconscious slavery Unworthy to call this body a home; this prison of mere flesh and bone I have become darkness incarnate, a true form of the blackest abyss Deliver me from dissolution, no absolution from my own retribution This mortal vessel has run it’s course, completely depleting my vital life force Nothing can save me from myself, my own worst enemy, my soul forgotten like an unread book on the shelf A hostage to my own mentality, an everlasting insanity There is no breaking free the chains of subconscious slavery With every notion of devotion I beg and plead to thee, please release me from this grim reality

No Escape

Is this a dream or nightmare Dreaming for you to save me Pull me out from this slumber Put your hands on my chest and revive me Sternum breaking Resuscitation failing These blankets feel like thorns Pillows now rocks at the bottom of cliffs Why do I feel so blind I was more awake when I was dreaming If this is a glimpse into the afterlife My eyes are wide open I haven’t been the same since Put your hands deep inside me Tell me my hearts still beating That im not just bleeding Bleeding out Tell me my callused heart is normal That we’re both the same Use your touch to cauterize these wounds Immolate my human form To the voices heard beyond the void Sever the strings that keep me from being who I’m meant to be Is there anyone there Answer my cries Release me from the vastness of this madness And with dreary eyes, my cracking spine I’m taking back what’s mine As I slowly watch your kingdom ******* fall We have to adapt Maybe I’m the only one Unwilling to be one who just sits back in the dark, **** I'll take back what was mine Broken reality falls down, crushing it’s weight on me, the world is my enemy am I the only one Stuck in between; the mountains and the sea, yeah that’s where you’ll find me. At the bottom of the ocean or the top of the peak. Always positive or negative, no solace or peace Look into my eyes, they're reflecting your fear from the past year But don’t worry, this is not the end No, this is not the end Believe me or not, but this reality is not the end Crawling to the calls beyond the grave It’s life after this one, not the rest that I crave My tomb is more to me than a bed It’s a place where I may lay my weary head Some say this place is full of dread But I’ve always resonated more with the dead Those who fear death are already dead Those afraid of living will never survive We’re all dying on the inside I fail to cry yet I cry to feel What a waste What a disappointment I’m sorry I was something you never appreciated My soul will walk on the plane of plains Mistakes made with regrets of my past Counting down the days till I pass I knew my happiness could never last But in this new place emotions are non existent This is what I’ve been waiting for Given to me anew, my new existence I listened to the voices that beckoned to me Im finally free To be with those on the other side of earth This is my rebirth Somewhere with souls like my own A place I can finally call home

Awake yet dreaming
Is this a dream or nightmare Dreaming for you to save me Pull me out from this slumber Put your hands on my chest and revive me Sternum breaking Resuscitation failing These blankets feel like thorns Pillows now rocks at the bottom of cliffs Why do I feel so blind I was more awake when I was dreaming If this is a glimpse into the afterlife My eyes are wide open I haven’t been the same since Put your hands deep inside me Tell me my hearts still beating That im not just bleeding Bleeding out Tell me my callused heart is normal That we’re both the same Use your touch to cauterize these wounds Immolate my human form To the voices heard beyond the void Sever the strings that keep me from being who I’m meant to be Is there anyone there Answer my cries Release me from the vastness of this madness And with dreary eyes, my cracking spine I’m taking back what’s mine As I slowly watch your kingdom ******* fall We have to adapt Maybe I’m the only one Unwilling to be one who just sits back in the dark, **** I'll take back what was mine Broken reality falls down, crushing it’s weight on me, the world is my enemy am I the only one Stuck in between; the mountains and the sea, yeah that’s where you’ll find me.

All i ever did was care But you were never there Run, run But you can’t hide From the demons that chase you Trying to move forwards But continuously falling back To live is to risk it all We’re not getting out of here alive Fear will be your downfall We’re becoming susceptible to the mind hive There’s no mask To hide the stench Of this rotting flesh Frozen to the bone Yet burning at the core Upside down Hang me from my feet Let the blood run free Let this life leave me When did I lose control Grasping tight with no grip Falling through my finger tips Will I ever become whole Living this life in vain I’ll take on every single pain Ship me to the wasteland For eternity I’m dammed Tell me Was this all apart of the master plan Troubled times we have fallen upon If I bare one more mistake, consider me gone To the underworld; from earth forever banned Don’t cry You’re not to blame I’m the only fault I should have talked, instead I listened I thought that was the truth But now I see, the only person to blame Is me Shed not another tear Continuing my walk of shame This is meaningless My head wrapped in pointlessness Sick minds never to be cured Falling trap to the sirens’ lure Songs of the dead Love me nevermore A shot made in the dark pierces the heart We were never meant to hurt, yet we choose not to heal Sign my name in blood, I’m taking the devil’s deal From the material world I’ll depart Listen to the echoing cries of the souls lost Too late to wish it was more I had fought The silence of humanity is still louder than the screams of the dead This place in hell I now call home It was the closest thing I’ve found to not feeling alone Keep your humility and thoughts of progression For where I am now death was the only gift we wished for Completely succumbed to corporate possession Beautiful on the outside yet rotten to the core Everybody will die Everyone will suffer You’re just a walking corpse Slowly digging your own grave You won’t be saved

Why do I push everything away I can no longer keep this at bay Pushing everyone out from my life This torment of never feeling right These shackles bringing me to my knees I’ve built this prison and buried the key If this was love it shouldn’t be killing me Release me from the weight of this gravity Awaken each day with a burning, aching pain within my chest, made from veins, bone and ******* flesh What a sight to behold As I watch this anguish unfold Such a terrible mess This is distress, at its best Prisoner to this phobia Confined to this hysteria Walking alone fearing my own shadow Never to know who i’ll become tomorrow These shackles bringing me to my knees I’ve built this prison and buried the key Particles of mist fill the air Looking through that painstaking glass It’s me I see from the reflection on the flask The sun rises as does my mask Putting it all away, that underlying pain Hidden away by a laugh and smile, no worry it’s only for a while The horrors that surround me continues to unfold “It’ll get better” is what I’m told No one questions if it doesn’t Leave me dead and bludgeoned Numbing the pain through scarring limbs Darkness grows near, the light becoming dim My hope constantly wearing thin When will I find pleasure ever again The spite in myself is more than hate Death has always been my fate If this was love it shouldn’t be killing me Release me from the weight of this gravity I won’t waste your time with what goes on in my mind, because I’m slowly forgetting. Forgetting everything one day at a time Everyday feels the same, why do things have to be this way, a feeling of happiness never to be regained Eyes have become hollow sockets Lungs nothing more than air pockets Heart empty filled with despair Mind left with too much to bear Overwhelming torture and discourse Drowning every guilt with remorse Nothing but bitterness and disgust There’s no faith left to trust I used to tell myself that I would never become someone else But I should have told myself I was going to be somebody This world seemed so quiet when you were here Now surrounded by static and noise So again I find myself swimming to the bottom of the bottle just to block out all sound Who have I become this time around
