An abandoned sunset on the horizon,
Keep persevering towards a limitless sun,
Dark prairie field, a fraction of a second before sunrise,
Before we know it, the calm passes so there’s a demise.

What’s better than the morning air?

The drag of a dead tree and its saturn rings,
Honey, you know I don’t play with these things,
Nothing in the universe or beyond is ever fair,
Then it’s decided, I shouldn’t pretend to care.

A pine cabin sitting pretty in the prime of its life,
Will eventually sit heavy at the end of its strife,
Bitter and old from what it thought it deserved,
Historic yet crumbling, nobody wanted it preserved.

An abandoned sunset on the horizon,
Keep persevering towards a limitless sun,
Dark prairie field, a fraction of a second before sunrise,
Before we know it, the calm passes so there’s a demise.

A sinkhole opens to swallow it all up,
A cabin to the depths,
A sunset to the abyss,
A joint to the deaths,
I know we swear something’s amiss.
Who’s to blame except the wash-up.

Hands travel down,
Find a secluded vein,
Pick and tear at it,
Pick and pick,
Tear and tear,
Pick and tear at it.

Wrists twist to this,
Uncomfortable conclusions,
Rewarded with pain,
Rewarded it,
Rewarded the pain,
Rewarded it.

Arms contort anxious,
Bones snap directionless,
Cracking insufficiently,
Cracking it all harder,
Insufficient at it all,
Cracking insufficiently,
Insufficient at it all.

Wake up in a house full of smoke,
Hoarded all the blasphemy in the world,
So now it all concludes and burns,
In a heart-stopping moment of-
That indomitable reflection in the mirror,
It burns around a rare ivory frame,
Poached for the sake of the richness,
Love the syncopate better next time.

Hands travel down,
Find a secluded vein,
Pick and tear at it,
Pick and pick,
Tear and tear,
Pick and tear at it.
Pick and tear,
Pick and pick,
Tear and tear.

Unforgiving skin,
Unforgiving bones,
Unforgiving hands,
Unforgiving ends.

Annihilate my future,
Every prospect,
Every opportunity,
Every sinking feeling.

Change my trajectory,
Through drugs,
Through alcohol,
Through self-hatred.

Baby, I self-destruct,
Countdown from,

Lonely at the edge of the world,
With only me, myself, and I to blame,
Don't you dare pity my M.A.D.,
Berate me as you wish and must,
Remind me of how I got here,
My own selfish determination,
It's me and my mistakes,
Here, at the edge of the world,
Here, at the end of the timeline,
Here, at an ergo sum of my lifetime.

Pockmarked arms,
Sound off alarms,
Stargazing farms,
Dependent on charms.

Unrealized power,
Atomic shower,
The flavor's sour,
Everybody had better cower!

I don’t give a ****,
By stupid, you’ve been struck,
As you run amok,
Running over kids with your truck.

Unrealized power,
Atomic shower,
The flavor's sour,
Everybody duck and cower!

Planted marigold at the doorstep,
There's blood left in your stead,
Its all you’ve ever been fed,
I think you're out of your depth!

Hats off,
Heads down,
Gather round,
Pray for the sound,
Pray for the sound,
Pray we'll all be found.

Unrealized power,
Atomic shower,
The flavor's sour,
Everybody duck and cower!

I am more,
More than anything,
More than a being,
What am I seeing,
What am I needing?

I am at my core,
Shop at my store,
**** on the floor,
Tear off the door,
Its okay, that's what I'm here for.

I'm feeling greedy,
So utterly needy,
Baby let's sign this treaty,
Colonize me completely,
Heart on the floor with diabetes.

I am at my core,
Shop at my store,
**** on the floor,
Tear off the door,
Its okay, that's what I'm here for.

Once a day I'll please you,
If I'm no good, stage a coup,
I'll be the king you overthrew,
And I will grovel at your shoes,
Eye to eye with the real you.

I am at my core,
Shop at my store,
**** on the floor,
Tear off the door,
Its okay, that's what I'm here for.

Face to face with the same beast,
For years upon years it never ceased,
My flesh too tender not to feast,
Thought by now it'd decrease.

Finding peace of mind,
My tactics becoming refined,
Even when I'm in a bind,
It's a strategy I've designed.

Carnage can never persist,
If I'm to continue to exist,
The faded lines upon my wrist,
The beast and I must coexist.

Finding peace of mind,
My tactics becoming refined,
Even when I'm in a bind,
It's a strategy I've designed.

This is the beast's line,
As I have decided to define,
Every tooth mark on my spine,
Until I realize it's okay, I'm fine.

I know you don’t know,
Just how many times,
I have asked to die,
Well, I’m not special for it,
I know, I recite it for my ego.

Crippling self-awareness turns,
Folds over, crushes my free will,
What I want could get me killed.

Should I be pulled apart by machinery?
Painful until the untimely fade of the mind?
Or should I find my deathbed at the end,
Lay down and hold a couple hands as I cry.
How pathetic I could be?
How tragic could I be?

Crippling fear of the end turns,
Folds over, crushes my free will,
What I want could get me…****.

I’M GONNA ******* DIE ?

ONE DAY             OH ****             ONE DAY

ONE DAY.

I’LL KEEL OVER AND DIE,
STOP IT BEFORE IT HAPPENS,
TIME TRAVEL, DESTROY TIMELINES.

ONE DAY             OH ****             ONE DAY

ONE DAY.

I’LL MEET A TENDER,
MAYBE WRATHFUL DEITY.

WORSE YET,
BE CURSED INTO NOTHINGNESS.

Crippling fear of every step I take,
Like a child learning how to walk,
I’ll fold over, crush my own free will,
What I want will get me killed.
