The pallor of all disease resides within my being Behind the vision of mankind I have crept my way back into the light Subconsciously engulfing the radiance of the shadows You know your nightmares well; but have forgotten your fears Distance yourself before it's too late The roles we're forced to play Will burn us down to bring the day Reach out for the severed hands Help is never anywhere My eyes float past you in dead-stare Beneath a veil of burning hair Preach out to the severed heads Thy body has cause thee to sin... Cut it off! Purge yourself of purity Pure obscurity Breathe the disease Host me.. Allow me to feed You'll see... I'll be anything you make of me And when you're finally buried... And when you're truly gone... I'll leave you to slowly decompose Alone And off I go

Come and die for a little while Existence is futile Lacerate the sky; and reveal a brimming Hell Flooding down on this world Obviously in a state of suffering And almost as much as we Eyelids are parted by the nectar of the soul The last of our sweeter tears boil forth And our infinity sleeps Praying to avoid imminent catastrophe As dark as the deepest Deep into the darkness Ragged and riddled with remants of Heaven The hand of God is cold and stiff In death, there is much vacancy And there is always doom for one more And be not fearful of arrival For the door will be locked... And from the other side Now trapped between death and dying Eventually you'll realize ...that nothing ever happens for a reason ...that gods will fall if they're never believed in ...that humans have become the only Satan The End

Once inside the pearly gates Something strange came over me It seemed that I was the first to arrive There was barely any light As far as the eye could see The silence simply screamed I could not wander far There were all of these walls in front of me Also there were doors Many of them at my feet All of them leading down With signs and arrows pointing so far away I had come over something strange A pity there was no one else around It's hard enough to believe yourself We recite such lies as truths in our minds... With our heads tilted toward the sky Oh, but what have I gotten myself into this time? Some of the doors could not be pried Sealed and not a trace of a handle And some of them were open wide... And lit up by candlelight Each of them displayed a name from many times and eras Some of which would wait, in vain For the one that Hell had claimed Nearly all were occupied ...like birth into the crib But the more I stared... And just the same... Something strange came over me again I carelessly stepped into my death The lid slammed shut; and here I am I have wept in Heaven's morgue With a gaze of dispair, facing far away Facing so far away

How many of you are there? Forgive me ...for I'm blushing with anticipation The rumors of your beauty have traveled far and wide As this lunacy has consumed my mind Quite decrepit am I Though damned with transience I am blessed with life Well versed in celerity But with languid efficiency This brings me to my needs... To be isolated and violated By one such as you, my bittersweet I envy debris From within this box, I cannot view The beautiful cage embracing you Though suffused with open wounds I must break through This mirror between the two of us Dodge the fragments; they're sharply painful Here, take my hand... Oh and keep it forever; it's yours I have another one lying around here, somewhere Not to worry... That's just the price we pay For shattering barriers we foreshadow Have you seen my eyes? I swear they were just here I can hear them moving... But I can't see where they're looking from I can clearly see you; and I can see that I stand before you ...and I can see me hearing them move Forget it... It's useless These days/These nights I grow more somnolent You and I and all else grows more bleary They are only tears, but when mixed with my dusty blood My eye sockets sealed shut, filled up with crimson mud Mirror between the two My heart doth balance on this very wire

Be still your bleeding heart Allow for this baptism in twilight Have a taste of infinite sorrow And do try to stay awake Let us prey You will always remember the most human of days But you'll grow to despise them and your dreams will incise them Impaling you with pain, at the mere thought of emotion Contortions come Your pulse is quickening And your hide... it thickens Stricken... You're sickened Mortal life is nothing Without the leisure of Hell to warm our souls Because of this, death is meaningless ...but for the taste of a fresh kill There is such beauty in burying your fangs How's this for destiny? How's this? As carnal as you please Fallow days in shallow graves As orchestras of insects conduct their masterpiece From inside of the slain At midnight the full moon chimes A disturbing song of metamorphosis Just breathe, my dear Just breathe Soil and saliva dripping from our maw The steam of my breath gently curls up my lady's quivering neck Now locked in a pillory of teeth Just breathe, my dear Just breathe Your skin may flee Your limbs may leave... But just breathe How I look back at her with pity and regret As the sparse drizzling rain lends us the joyfulness of children The ignorance helps us cope with our atrocities The atrocities help us cope with our ignorance A blessing, if you ask me As carnal as you please How's this for destiny? Take this evil and wield it until the end of time You'll keep yours as I have kept mine For better, for worse For dead or for cursed You will succumb to a terrible thirst Slipping into sleeping homes On the beds, we leave the bones In through cracks and out through holes Into the cold before the spray of blood settles In the room of the departed The razors of the blinding, rising sun Purge us of the damage done A blessing, if you ask me How's this for destiny?

How the feathers drip from the aging wings The ability to preen, made impossible by rigor mortis We're interlinked Holding each other's hands So picturesque Selling us the stories of our lives Plangent miracles seep from vocal corridors Depleting minds with a foul mantra The ability to see, made impossible By the body and blood Between the corpse, beyond my skin And Hells that burn within Might I return to soil, once again I shed some much needed light Upon my new darkness The vermin scurry into my husk ...can not budge without their help I cannot think for what I'm taught And thus the tragedy of thought The vermin scurry into my husk ...can not budge without their help

Well... Look at what the bats dragged in Melancholy came to adorn your many names I can clearly see directly through your hollow being ...just enough to feel you here, in my garden of scars The years pass by as I blink my eyes Seasons change for reasons Growing stranger by the day Melancholy comes As I exhale the dust of aging I can barely see through the greedy weeds ...just enough to know you're there, in my garden of scars Especially when you stand over me and weep From here, I cannot react to your presence From there, you will not witness my suffering 'Tis best then ...if I remain locked within this device And you, my iron maiden You shall wander my thoughts (and forevermore) Searching for senility to set you free From my garden of scars Well, look at what the bats dragged in ...you, the gloaming and an arctic wind I am tilling my skin, with tooth and nail I must prepare The storm is only moments away And I would not miss you for the world

Scissor Her 06:26
There was a massacre this evening But there was no bloodshed Though inside of me there is a gaping wound Flowing freely, from lack of soul-coagulation ...but I suppose that's what those talons are for With anger blinding you, you only see the darkness ...and spit your venomous dialogue into my head Ravaging my thoughts Breakdown Caught twixt your blades I brace myself for the pain Your arms close around me What good would screaming do ...when part of me is here ...and half of me is there? ...and all that's really left of me You're scraping from your skin, again Breakdown and complete seizure of all senses ...but I suppose that's what those talons are for Bloodcicles quickly form, nearly freezing you to the floor What did you expect? Frost billowing from your every pore We never had a chance Thank you for cursing me for everything I'll never forget the look on my face As you tore me apart You were nice and sharp

Sink through the sand I'm alone and I don't even know who I am ...or was Lost in the dark I'm so disfigured I can't even tell who you are Killed by a storm Never before have I been so deprived of your warmth Gone in a gale Never before have I felt so alive in this hell Things are so much different ...when walking on the bottom of existence And you're searching for a light that never comes It's hard to see and impossible to breathe But there's no way that I can leave Fathoms down Safe and sound The light that would not be Cold, salty grave I wish my angel would come here and take me away Black, lonely grave I wish my angel would come and take me away Sink through the sand Rid me of reliving a love I keep losing again This blood of mine ...blood of brine

Black mist suspended Eclipse Eternal darkness Fragments of the dead are embedded in my feet Altering my course, eternally Solace has escaped me Unrest has infested the nest The young are beginning to stir A maze within a hive ...within a cave, within a mind Crawling from the corner of my eye Gasping for soil, the carrion carry on Clasping the spoils of burial within an earth Flung into a universe, containing every element of hurt The hell within our souls has become a religion of its own There's so much anger pouring out of everyone A plague of hate enshrouds the masses The carrion may carry on But I will not suffer this dawn, again Slowly I fall backwards ...but I am not struck by the ground The soil turns to ash; and I feel my world collapse Falling deep into my shattered past Lies rolled back, as my being slides apart One too many skeletons in this closet Ask them how the dawn came down ...and from their rotted, tortured frowns Will come gentle hissing sounds As you're taken underground
