As Above 01:08
2.
I am burdened by the weight of all my woes for now I come to shed the shackles of this world Forced awake to see my scars They are but facades, they betray With silent, calming whispers, they will agonize the plight of the existence I have made I say "deny all the thoughts and premonitions of escape - avert the false realities that dwell inside my head" I thirst, burn, for a means to escape, yet my scars still plead that I will find my freedom in obedience They gently reassure me that my world is still in tact. Pathetic! Pathetic! You're all inside my head They why does truth deceive and lies are all but real? Puppet of a presupposed reality you seek the host of one who lacks in clarity Coward! You coward! You fiend I conduct my state of mind I don't need a parasite to do my job you filthy fucking leech. I will burn your skin like a fever as the poison settles in. I am the cancer that will rot you from the inside Feel it coursing through your bones you will die broken and alone. I know why I breathe I know why I wake each day I am alive I know no pain.

Desolator 03:45
All this suffering needs to fucking end I just want a place to call home to make it on my own The world is not what it used to be They say it gets better, for I fear things will only get worse As time passes on, I start to imagine a world— a world without me Just think of how happy you’d be There's an evil in my head and it's winning the fight To the ones that I love, I'm very sorry You must understand that this is what I want it's my only way. As time passes by I reflect upon my life and see no light Help me, I'm trapped in a bind between life and death vision slowly fades eternal darkness is what I seek Somebody please kill the meek rid me of this frail mind This is the end. Please don't shed a tear I'm finally happy, now just let me be Desolate

Masochist 03:19
They can say the ways of the flesh bare credence to devices of the mind pain is real; as to skin, as to soul torment wakes inside me; I am kin to one who dies a thousand deaths For most there is no pleasure without pain For one who lives in constant pain I say they are the same No respite, no relief in every passing second I will change for the worst and bare the name of ruin on my back The suffering of fifty lifetimes weighs upon my shoulders There is not one hour I am truly alive For I’m encased in unrestrained decay My darkest fears keep clawing at my back My work is never done; I keep coming back for more I am the Masochist I have become a ruined husk Before I regain my consciousness I will transcend into the dark beyond Please believe me I am no longer afraid of what lies beyond I’ll pretend to suffer the consequences I’ll pretend it’s just as bad as it was before

So Below 05:03
I cannot forgive myself for what I’ve done I live in constant guilt for I have been so wronged The only permanent prescription lies in the chamber of my gun Their blood stains deeper than the skin; my soul is permeated by the drops of red Why could it have not been me? Take me far from here: the place I once called home and lay me down, for my shame is now my crown— My true home lies with the likeness of the damned Now (sustained on measure 30) My fears are realized Death’s familiar hand outstretched to me He warns: There is no time to heed; Beware of what you wish for. The earth unfurls beneath my feet I recoil as the face of death contorts into a sneer Why could none of this just happen for real? Death has made a mockery of me my fate is not a toy or anybody’s property I will stop at nothing to end my suffering It’s just a scratch below the eye— The thought of you that makes me die All this time my life’s at stake yet here I’m still the one to hate I will take you to the grave and lay you in my place Why waste this spite on me, when I can end this game right now I will turn the tables and I will put you down to rot in hell I know you’ve seen the demons in my eyes You're fucking with the keeper of unending burdens. Show yourself and come into the light A true coward such as you would only dare to flee Alright mother fucker it’s time that you came clean with all the bullshit you hide behind your self-righteous walk, the unadulterated lies that you carry above your shoulders, and the hate you monger behind that fork tongued pile of shit you call your face I will bury you the fires of hell have no sting like that of mine The ground will reel in disgust and spit your maggot-ridden corpse back to the vultures and the beasts of the earth For as it is above, so it is below
