The Hopeless Tragedy

This dark, winding path
Gives way to beautiful scenes
The moon peers through the trees
So bright tonight, but something's not right
The sounds of dead leaves
Crumble below her feet
Can't seem to shake this horrible feeling
As if she's being watched, or maybe hunted
She hears a noise behind her
And feels immediate regret
She should have stayed home tonight
Sounds like footsteps approaching
And so she picks up her pace
But it was no use
While daylight has died
A red sky remains
The constant emptiness
Soon fades away
He breathes a sigh of relief
He's fought through her deceit
And as she dies tonight
He'll shed no more tears
A shallow hole meant for two
But there's only one less soul
A ruffled black dress, dirt stained
Red lipstick smearing away
The overwhelming feeling
Of guilt is slowly rising
This endless night of pain
Brings forth no tomorrow
This love has bled
For one last time
A cold embrace in the night
Is such a tragedy
It was such a tragedy
Two bodies remain without a reason why
No signs of struggle and no blood in sight
Abused and consumed every ounce of hate
He trickled into her eyes
A crowd began to gather
Around the yellow tape
Perhaps hoping to see something
Too terrible to look at

Bitter Scent
04:07
|

|
Pale skin, cold and lifeless
Eyes close, still and breathless
My fingertips will graze your flesh
As they never have before
Oh how pretty you've become
Now that you've fallen next to me
How wonderfully strange
What a mystery beauty can be
There can be no wrong
If it all seems right
The sun kisses my skin
And disguises my fright
I would beg for a change
But things would only be worse
Guilt is not a privilege
It's become a curse
I've taken the gift
That's been given to you
The sweetest tormentor
Who will bleed this through
I could smell the neglect
As if it were your scent
As I fell from your arms
In abandonment

Euthanized

Horrendous, but slightly sweet
Obsessive and never complete
Watching you from a distance
Trying to learn your routine
Sadly alone and imagining
A life with you
It was you
And that look you gave me
From across the room
It was you
Who spoke without words
To let me know how you feel
It was you
That has the sweetest voice
That I cannot resist
Now it's you
Who is unconscious
And bound safely in my room
It was only to protect you
From the cruelty of the world
I hope you can forgive me
I just had to keep you safe
Your tears are a sign of love
The chloroform is only to help you sleep
I feel a connection like with no other
This has turned in to a fabulous disaster
It's just too bad you couldn't accept me
Too bad I'm broken and in agony
Beaten and bruised, just like your pretty face
And so I met you with this warm embrace
You're so adorable when you're covered with fear
Are you cold? Cause you're shivering, my dear
Wipe those tears away, things will be just fine
And I will hold you close for all the rest of time
It was you
And that look you gave me
From across the room
It was you
Who screamed for help
Even though I asked you not to
It was you
That has the sweetest voice
Especially when it's strained
Now it's you
Who is unconscious
And is never waking up

Truth & More Discomforts
04:08
|

|
This day will end in discomfort
There are few things more unsettling than death
I will show you every single one of them
I will make you see what you never wanted to
Pry your eyes open and show you the truth
Lies are far too easy
It's so easy to be comfortable
When you don't know what's going on
How many times have you been deceived now?
Slit my throat before your blood pours from my mouth
I could make you bleed with just a few simple words
There are few things more hurtful than what I know
And I will do just that
Because I have no more respect
Nothing to bind me
To the promises that I have kept

Our Last Dance
04:41
|

|
Desire to suffer
Does it make you feel alive
You are my burden
A Failure
A Meaningless life
A Life forsaken
In your sorrow I find
My harmony
Internal suffering builds from pain
You have invoked my hatred
I'll kill you so I can breathe again
For one last time before I...
Sever the meaning of love
Unfortunately in vain
I wish I could spare you of this
It has to be this way

Femina

There was a dead look in its eyes
With an aura of self-loathing and despair
A creature, unforgiving
And cold to the touch
But a smell so sublime
That it will lure you in
As soon as it finds its host
It latches on
And once it's had its taste of your blood
It will not let you go
And once it's drained you of everything
It will take more from you
As damaged as they are
You always want to help them
A need to fix what is broken
And soon you understand
They're unrepairable
But by then you've been sucked
Of your remaining life
Take everything, take what you need
But leave me as a whole
You've taken blood so watch me bleed
You have no self control
I don't know how I could allow
This mind controlling horror
So watch me now as I will bow
For I cannot destroy her

Harlot
04:17
|

|
I jump in shock just like waking up
After falling in a dream
I turn to you and I realize
That you have betrayed me
I hope that your lies
Keep you warm at night
Cause when you touch me
I get the coldest chill
I shiver with disgust
At the thought that I have touched
Your body, so used
You can't contain yourself
Your waters run shallow
Just a frozen creek
I've gained some perspective
So stay away from me
Your filth is unwanted
A harlot in my eyes
Touched by so many
Malevolence between your thighs

Frailness of Being
05:20
|
|

|
The wretched, the frigid
A facade of seduction
Tattered and shallow
But laced exquisitely
A pariah, hated and weak
The frailness of being
We are simple creatures
Made to die
Sedate me as I strive to
Break through this desperation
I'd rather erode alone
This fable of weakness
And self-loathing drones
The dullness of humanity
Unilluminated
Marvel at the amount of disgust
I have for every one of you
One nation, undivided
As a whole, we malfunction
Look to the scarlet ground
Our blood can be enchanting
But after we self-destruct
There will be love among the ruins
We'll gather and join hands
And sing anthems of loss

The Divided

And then one day I could see beyond
The aspects of reality
What life portrays as a human bond
Depraves me of humanity
Unlike before when I was still blind
And oblivious to the truth
Opened the door to the cruelty of man-kind
Hatred is brewing in our youth
How can I try to be the only one
With pure intentions in my heart
Be the only one, who's calm and drama free
When the world around me is chaotic?
It seems to me the earth is in ruins
Full of greed and a lust for power
To conquer all there is to be had
And filled with the stench of war
We stand as one
United as the divided
A lonely dance
With hands unheld
Swaying to the rhythm
Of unacceptance
And ignorance
Loathing what we don't understand

We aren't something that you'd hear every day, nor a breed all our own. We write what we like to hear, which can be different at times or more of a remix of our own influences. Just about everything is an homage of something already created, after all. Chuck Palahniuk once said "Nothing of me is original. I am the combined effort of everybody I've ever known." ... more
