I need you to know
The demons I'm fighting
Before I must go
I'll share them in writing

I’m made of regrets
And mundane subsistence
Incarnate vignettes
Of a worthless existence

I’ve lain with my guilt
A restless bed shared
My guts have been spilt
But nobody cared

I could empty the grief
Drain these misery veins
Feel the crimson relief
But the deep blue remains

I draw nothingnesses
From black hole heart
Paint abstract abysses
Oblivion art

I’m always alone
In a crowded room
I’m always unknown
In a nameless tomb

I’ve been lured to wastelands
To seek self-destruction
On siren shore sands
Of lust and seduction

I’ll slowly bequeath
My will to survive
As Time bares its teeth
And consumes me alive

I believe when you die
So too does your soul
Salvation's a lie
And Truth rots in a hole

I’m leprous afflictions
To your smiling faces
I'm faithless convictions
To pious good graces

I’ve woken in sorrow
From unfulfilled dreams
Cursing tomorrow
With nightmarish screams

I revel in vices
Of white winter's blight
And devil devices
Of shame-bottled plight

I welcome the reaping
With feasts of laments
With fine wines of weeping
And sin's decadence

I’m carrion skin
An atrophied carcass
Decaying within
A flesh-eating darkness

I’ve watched mankind sink
To the depths of its greed
As I've drowned in the ink
Flowing blood that I read

I'll hang from the gallows'
Rope of mortality
Claimed by the shadows'
Noose of reality
