Painted skyline is so vast and futile. It takes me home Well, no It leaves me stranded here out where The speed of expansion beats me Destination emptiness Universe expanding Can’t retrace my steps I’ll never know Which place to go Hyper overslept Fuel is keeping steady But time is running out In a way This day by day Is what it’s all about Should I just end it all right here Or is there still a hope to find Will I reach my home planet or Will I reach the very end of time Is starlight enough to keep me sane or will the dark take my mind from me a black hole that removes all my gravity and makes me nothing Suns wish they could shine as brightly Universe expanding Can’t retrace my steps I’ll never know Which place to go Hyper overslept Is it right Take the plunge Evacuate It is done Emptiness Space is so cold without a place to go I am no alien Just a lost soul without friends

I admit I said I would not Betrayal From the hearse Cast a spell Break the curse Insist on circumstance That does away with second chance No remorse No apologies The world burns In a fire that never ends Blood turns to ash As the sun sets on a dying land The future, ever more bleak As the roots under the surface die The seeds buried feed on their corpses Is it worth the effort? A lifetime of worry Or a lifetime of pain? Remove you from the equation Isn't kind of ironic how this is playing out anyway Betrayal From the hearse Cast a spell Break the curse Insist on circumstance That does away with second chance Look in the eyes Of your true enemies I can’t ignore the influence I had Your actions were just reactions The blame rests only with me Look in the eyes of your true enemies Look in the mirror It’s so funny to me how these people have billions of dollars and they just use it to but. Everything around them thinking that they can get away with it and make it feel like it’s our fault.

You are stranded in the middle Of the ocean With sails made from sheets And scraps of paper This is not the time to falter Throw the Anchor over Stagnated life The fish Circle round you Can’t wait to bite If you Can plug the hole You might make it But if You sink too you Won’t last the night The floor Of the ocean Is a mass grave There’s no lifeboat for you

You are stranded in the middle Of the ocean With sails made from sheets And scraps of paper This is not the time to falter Throw the Anchor over Stagnated life The fish Circle round you Can’t wait to bite If you Can plug the hole You might make it But if You sink too you Won’t last the night The floor Of the ocean Is a mass grave There’s no lifeboat for you Song Title This powder will be my protection and my downfall Pinned to the wood The plastic The styrofoam I flap my wings to the beat of a hammer Metamorphosis gave me beauty Beauty gave me life And life gave me predators Beauty is the greatest commodity Bought and sold for cheap Well past its expiration date Is this life at all Is this passing time Catch me in your nets Trade two cents for a dime I am lost Glued to me Genocide Try as I might To spread my wings I will never Make it home

This is not for you I bleed in shades of ink Douse yourself in me I bleed in shades of ink Pelican black I bleed in shades of ink Douse yourself in me  I bleed in shades of ink,  Viscid nectar Blackened truth  A void I cry Engulf me, Bury light x3 Neurosis, red eyes  I cry Sing to me, end is nigh And I hung myself from yggdrasil  But the abyss Swallowed me whole Snap the rope like sewing thread Infinite necessities I don’t have you but you have me Emptiness necessitates White picket fence with blackened gates I dance among the stars But never manage a greeting Friends from afar Aren’t friends at all Regret above me, a conclusion below Occam blessed me with knowledge and a blade, Of which I slit my wrists and echo your pain This is not for you Dysthymia No crown or noose Is it ever this easy Lick the stamp Send it away There is poetry in a death certificate With this letter I leave you dear 1,001 claws caress your ear Dulcis domus you shall fear x2

The fountain of youth Or liquid death I left my fruit bowl on the table too long Time for a night on the  town Forget the best time of our lives Do it all again some other time And Relish in our lack of agency I Am Not Me Toiling for silver to refill my coffers Till the fifth day arrives and I throw it all back The exploited attempting escape With a shovel to granite aiming straight down Quality time with those we hold close What were their names I don't remember most Of the nights I survived but I'll never forget the girl with the windshield face I have made peace with myself I am whole The pieces fit together when you focus on the puzzle The words all mean the same thing through a muzzle Let me know what you are fighting for Time travel discovered again and again There's no better way to deal with this pain If the man would let me I'd stay here forever But the call has been made give me my keys I'm fine

The dirt in my pores My mouth My eyes Is my last meal before I am too Escape your place There is only One place you will go Same Place as me And before you know Your life will be empty and forgotten as well After a few generations we all burn in Hell We all will one day burn in Hell We will all be the same rot And you will end We all will one day burn in Hell as dirt

Retreat The battle is lost The armor has been pierced There’s no recovering from this Dodge the arrows while we make our escape Leave the wounded Save your own lives This is not a victory But this is no defeat We will return Twice as many And twice as strong They come after us Their horses well fed Their bodies well built This may be no escape Us a white flag of surrender Meant nothing to them They continue patterns against us We may have lost lost this For the entire kingdom I do not think that we Will find a way home We should return their charge Go Out Standing tall Battle stations Soldiers gather Unite Do not for your lives Because fear has left There is no chance for your life to be saved So lose it with dignity Strike the flint Burn their trees Steal their air Make them feel The losses of today For generations to come We may  have lost  our  houses But  their  homes Will remember our hands And vibrate in terror At the thought Of our return The children Will tremble A village Built on tears Of what horrors Are yet to come Cut them all Limb from limb Slaughter them Flay Their skin Leave no person Left recognizable As an individual Or even as a human Light to the touch Quick to the draw Take ten for each of our one Let them survive But never be the same Cut out their tongues Remove their eyes Eat at their hearts And go back for seconds Make sure they see What you have done to their kin And to expect the same for their future armies There is no room for mercy here Only savagery Leave them pale Drink their Blood for strength Charge to your deaths To give us new life They retreat The cowards Now we ignore their pleas As they ignored ours All is fair In love and war And my only love Is blood and torture Burning Every corpse Burning Every home Burning Desire To kill It's a sum zero game The only winner is the crows A murder for a murder Waiting for their feast Once I have the head of the king And he has my head in return If we can’t retreat You can’t survive This is the final breath Force them into a mass grave Six feet below Where they raised their children Six feet below where they hung their hats Wix feet below where they once called home Six feet below with the rest of us
