We grasped our hands together interlocking ourselves within eternal bliss.
I’m meant to feel this way, and I know that you’ve always felt the same.
I know we’ll be together standing at the end
grasping at where it all began
Once absent, but whole again.
Oh dear friend, it’s great to be with you again.
With each passing day I never grow old of your face.
We made these memories, I’ll cherish ever second, nothing can take this away.
I only hope that we don’t forget, a firm grip on every sentiment.
We will burden ourselves with this.
We have burdened ourselves with bliss.
Once absent but whole again.

Be hopeless.
Be nothing.
Injected in my veins I see my world turn black
The perception That I’ve gain I can never take back.
Logic, reason and eternal regret
That I will never forget, that I will never forget.
Broken down and beaten by subconscious mind...that never ceases
To betray me.
I give up, I submit, I admit that I am worth nothing to anyone anymore.
These thoughts I had so long ago overshadowed by the constant remind that I’m irrelevant.
Swallowed up by these overbearing waves of shame and guilt
I wish I had known these truths...
I wish I knew what I was.
I wish I knew what I’d become...
Fucking irrelevant.
I worship the pain and I worship the guilt
So I dream of ending it all now
To depart from a world of pathetic self indulgent,sycophantic cunts.
Please spare me the pleasantries
You’re not in this for me you’re in this for yourself...
To try and prove to us that there is a god who truly loves us....
But you’re wrong...
False idols and lies won’t save your soul.
Only the blackened embrace of the void will set us free.
So pray to your god...he wants you all to suffer.
“I have a deathwish and I will see it to the very end...
I’ll hang by my neck until I’m fucking dead
Let my ashes blow to the wind
So that my name may never be said again...”
Let me close my eyes to sleep,
Eternally.
I have a deathwish and I will see it to the very end.
Let my ashes blow to the cold wind
So that my name may never be said again.

Our Scars

Our Scars, our scars, have made us who we are.
There is bliss in suffering, so we carve the knife in deeper and deeper to feel something.
Oh how I’m longing to feel effervescent and real.
Close your eyes this’ll go away.
(Maybe)
The fondness I seek hidden within memories
So far down you cannot see it
I locked the door and threw away the key that you will never get from me.
What will it take for you to admit that you’re just as lost as I am.
Stop pretending it’ll be just fine
& never say that I’ll be alright...
I am just as broken as you
I won’t be sound until you’re nowhere to be found.
Closing my eyes makes staying here & alive
worth the price of irrelevance.
Existence is pain.
Our Scars, our scars, have made us who we are.
There is bliss in suffering, so we carve the knife in deeper and deeper to feel something...
Oh how I’m longing to feel effervescent and real.
“To feel whole is to consume all that feeds your desire for pain...become one with the hate that flows through your veins. Only then will you be strong enough to endure the insufferable longevity of life itself.”
There is bliss in suffering.
You are weak.
Do not speak.

A Plague

We are the undying plague of this earth
Brought forth by the pain & the suffering of this heartless world
The end of it all is inevitable
You could never stop this
It’s been spiralling out of control
Everything's eventual after all
We are made to fall
We are made to fall
We are what this realm abhors
Never meant to be anything more than this
The human pestilence awakens the world from its restless sleep.
Longing for its everlasting sanity
just as far as the eyes can see
Burn it down, sacred ground, ever-longing for that tainted silent sound, so profound that I am lost I can’t be found.
Never thought I’d be so underwhelmed
I always thought I’d see this for myself..
We are the undying plague of this earth
Brought forth by the pain & the suffering of this heartless world
The end of it all is inevitable
Scornful & shameless
We are the unquenched flames of this earth
The triumphant return of the end of the world
Bow down to the abyss
“Arcum Tuum in finem”

As the day is long the nights are longer when our hope starts to fade
They left no stone unturned, no trail unfollowed yet we stand here empty.
You left us at bay at the gates.
You sealed our fate.
You’ve sealed your fate.
A cold embrace.
The waves wrapped around your soul to take you away.
The arms of the sea rhythmically lull you to sleep.
Forevermore.
Eternally blue the everlasting deep. Forevermore.
Love lost is impossible to keep.
She still hears your voice in her sleep.
I am pacing round these four walls
That have always housed my sanity.
My inner guilt is slipping through the cracks.
I could never turn back.
Hearts stop beating when your fears come true.
We never thought we would ever lose you.
Reality has burdened me.
Reality has burdened us with this.
We grasped our hands just to slip away again
Perpetual sorrow personified.
Why must we feel this way? You ended your pain...so why do I still feel this weight?
We’ll carry the flame, it won’t be the same
But we’ll cherish every second,
It won’t fade away...
Why must we feel this way? You ended your pain...so why will I always feel this way?
We won’t extinguish your flame but it won’t be the same.
So this song will always scream your name.
My friend how I long to be with you again
It’s been so long since I’ve seen your face..
Time gave us these memories whilst tearing them away from me.
I hope to see you standing at the end
grasping at where it all began.
Once absent but whole again.
