All paradise is lost When inferno is everything I'll ever see Eyes imprinted with views of loss Solitude with doubts still consuming Happiness will continue to falter I envision a hope that stays I have faith that my suffering will bring me life for eternity The heaven of hell; the hell of heaven The other side is the self Its the pain of perspective The heaven of hell; the hell of heaven Fractured, intangible shell Is anything worth it? Blank, and tired of memories too bitter to deceive rest, in fire inferno purge me forth from suffering this daily calamity is inside of me It aches for its release I am the malady Aching inside of me I form this reality En-framed, this is my consistent state the descent is consuming me I am caught in the disparity There is a hell inside of me

Expire 04:03
I have been waiting For an expiration date Cutting closer, agony will circulate Veil of death, please let me in I am ready for this life to face apocalypse Its not enough to be a human fiend Lacking the substance to shed for anything This mortal cage is suffocating Its not enough to be a tormented wraith Bring me oblivion and everlasting sleep Death is a release that ive been waiting for expiration save me from this sore heart as i care too much Expiration, serve me the explanation of this torment of hail fire Expire; welcoming as we fade Holding on to the dust of the last remains We cannot change this state Facing oblivion and shedding flesh to breakaway identity collapse when we expire
3.
searching for something beyond me Belial, this skin I’m in is just a cage, and a prison Its not a temple, its a place for me to die in I'm dying to break through this state of being Its not a composite of loss, its a state of seething Always rooted in a depth of meaningless, existence is a burden that i can’t accept Save me the burden of wondering If there's something more than a boundless mortal cage searching for something beyond me Something more than emptiness in human state Soul denial, you are bound to this suffering Common threads form a web for this looming malady Shed your semblance of this mortal coil Separate me from this dying world Separate from this septic skin Toxins blend with blood i drip Breathing torment, just let this cycle end Mortal, its expiration Mortal I have been lying in wait
4.
Hold, tempting cull I can’t stall Tears that I’ve shed, formulate my rest I identify no longer Feigned, these waves still decimate my faith my faith absolved in apathy Inferno, without a name Inferno, I cannot blame Inferno, a cleansing Inferno in this nameless inferno i can’t tell where ill begin, and where ill go I’ve been engulfed can’t return home Its just layers of anguish that form my soul Grief consumes me, I mourn the loss of serenity I warrant peaceful cuts, from this mortal cloth Spectral pain, just set me free

Parapraxis 04:37
Truth cannot be satisfied It always finds a way to sink its teeth It siphons air to break parity And through it’s pain, it sets me free And through it’s pain it’s sets me free It sets me free Youthful impermanence is paralleled by ignorance but hides its flesh in peace So sacrifice the only thing that bleeds Lies incarnate For the life you forget It surfaces beyond your realm of sleep So may the fucking truth unshackle me Slip through unsaid words Unconscious wishes , Empty promises with bitter intentions Truth, A blessing and a curse You can’t keep it in It finds its way to surface your suffering Verified What is wrong or right, you can’t decide You try to run from what is left for you to uncover suffering In part, the wisdom lies within the lie of fictitious deities Unconscious wishes empty promises with bitter intentions Truth a blessing and a curse
6.
(A)pathetic 04:39
You’re pathetic; clinging to things that forsake you Maintaining your childish perspective fails you May it be the noose that will drag your feet And force you to reflect on every defeat I don’t care anymore; you are pathetic in your form; You lick the wounds of your body yet You abandon your vitality You say the world is a danger yet you live in your captivity You refuse to see That you are the existence that is plotting your viral disease You’re made me so apathetic I can’t believe you let me watch you die Without you it’s all copacetic My fund of empathy is bare and dry. You are pathetic So cling to things that forsake I hope they tear you apart, i hope they break you When you cry for relief I hope that your reflection provides you all of your mercy. Apathetic.

Doom of souls, you are bound to endeavour Retraced patterns until the coil is severed Furled smoke in the rays of an ember Lapsing memory will not make it better It can’t erase it It seeps its way right through and shape shifts Though a new form, it’s the same gaping phantom ache Metaphysical hemorrhaging Return to state, cycle through the beginning Become imprisoned in the threads that are spinning Fate is a metaphor for repetitious gore

The Basement 04:47
Blind faith Everything seems the same Encroaching imposed vanity What is real can never sustain A mask formed by denials That is crowned by disciples With its roots stretched to stifle And snuff out the growth of a child Forming piles of desires unfulfilled and forgotten Under years of learned torment Its hopeless, sink to the basement The depths of my pain emerges from the frame Its a knife I keep carrying with me Birthed from the shade, it bleeds all the same A broken glass that I can't bury What do you see with the lights off? A different side of the same cut Its dark and hopeless Sink
10.
The Ritual 06:43
The ritual Obsessively I pull the skin seeking a remedy The voices say I'm nothing without their grip I'm getting sick; compulsion wills me forward either way Release me, or shall i expose more bone? Will i endure the cycle? Will i still roll the stone? Corrosive, compulsive behaviour If i don't comply, then I'm a failure I see death inside of me The ritual brings me close to my enemy I sacrifice losing everything It repeats until I'm nothing but a memory I see death inside of me The Ritual brings me down to my fucking knees I sacrifice losing everything I repeat until i wither from the gravity Death is a relief, may i rest in oblivion Emptiness at this point is a peace of mind May i rest; or will you destroy all that is mine I will fight until my death surrenders me i've lost so much of myself to its calling ache
11.
Without life, your blind sacrifice paves for a future, petrified supplicant. You only beg when you feel its meaningless, you only take from the hands of those who hold Eucharist Pray to your apathetic gods They have no care for your frame of rot Cross I bear, will you provide them remedy? I dare not compare, though this is blinded suffering Pray, do you think that they will save you? They’ll never listen, they can’t fix you Though you beg, you can’t sustain truth Your composure release
12.
Antithesis 04:59
Realms of thought rend my mind in states of trial Aware or not, I'm plagued until the well is dry Thirst for the water I've been without too long This drought of mind is a chasm I must belong Thirst for my fervour I've been without too long This emptiness in life is a chasm i must belong Antithesis - life is meaningless Breathing, long awaiting the reason we inherit the birth Seething, I can't stop me from thinking that there is more to my worth Cave in, cave in, this mind will collapse under the weight of hopelessness
13.
Split. Right through the centre Dualities in gore Absent endeavoured Self loathing down to core I bear witness to a descent of what once would take shape All that’s left that breathes is depth that can’t be filled with cold shame Split, right through my centre I see two in the flow Nothing fits better Than a self deforming whole Try to reason with a perpetuating break in mind that won’t let go Always a prison sick internally, no roots left to grow Divided in two A partition of freedom With a half of constraint Taking life out of me Divided in two I’m always stuck Never of love Always pushing every boundary Split, callous endeavour I never satiate Ripped, destroying the pleasure This void of life will Bring Life ends inside Bold lines Meant never to thrive
14.
I have nothing to shed The only thing i regret; i suffer too slowly Pass on with hollow lament While I clutch on to my neck while i snuff out the old me Cast out these thoughts in my head They're breaching capacity I cannot find the things that meant anything to me Swallow and break through the form Substance can't surface the pour I struggle to find peace While I've lost what makes me warm I drop below what is torn These things used to come easy Feel the dark surrounding me Violent waves of malady I'm fading out from my sense of things While i float in this apathy I used to feign for a taste Now sulfar reaches my brain Apathetic unworthy I have nothing to shed I suffer too slowly
15.
All paradise is lost; inferno is everything I see How many levels must I climb to absolve this suffering? Lust for things unattainable Living the satiable decline into mortal constraints I am bound to consume; by my nature; I am tied to this flesh bound greed I am living a cycle of famine, denied to be Cold, to the last breath I will cast my hope to the depths Deep I will shed my mortal blessing, God isn't present This is fucking heaven. Frozen floor, you shackle me evermore At this rest I find peace in the blessing of inferno, always nameless, no longer chasing me
