Oh I assure you that I am just immature enough to keep this at the front and centre of my mind/
And now I’m sure that this broken trust will endure the rust of time passing and I must sever to survive/
Return my life/

Submerged in the impure/My worth remains obscure/
Blurred images of turbulence converge with hideous permanence/
The burns of whispered words/This constant curse endures/
Disturbed and rendered purposeless/Assured of abject worthlessness/

Ripped from the chrysalis and cast, incomplete, into the abyss/
Mocked by the dancing light that scorched my eyes on those black nights/
Left lifeless but here I stand amongst snaking shadows, like reaching hands/
I am the void, I learn my place within the ugliness of my inner space/

You’ll never find me, make no mistake/I have nothing left for you to take/

I breathed you in/And you clawed your way out through my ribcage/
Beneath the skin/The emptiness replaced itself with rage/
Only these impulses remain/Create reflections of my pain/
This toxic torment clouds my brain/ Leaving just an abscess to be drained/
I’ve lost all sense of who I am/Inadequately reprogrammed/
Why would you even want to understand?/Why would you give a good god damn/

I’ll restart my regeneration again/How many times can I do this before the rot sets in?/
I can only take so much before I begin constantly smoldering, my withered corpse flooding with/

Bloodthirsty animalistic self-destruction/Unearthly, uncontrollable eruptions/
Powerless against this deconstruction/Oh let me guess, these feverish feelings need no introduction/

Maybe I get carried away/Maybe I like it that way/

Inherently useless, irrational passion is apparently my new knee-jerk reaction/
Transparently lashing out while those eyes eternally stare at me from the depths of every awful dream/

I'm drowning without the release of death/
Tortured by the hope of catching my breath/

Hypnotise and rob me of my rest/ Paralyze the very heart within my chest/

Haunted by shattered faith/ Unwanted but I’m shackled in place/

At least I said my truth/ My sole regret is letting my life depend on you/

Crush me and break me down/ Keep on grinding until you hear the sound/
Of my agony resound and echo around you forever/

I caught you revelling in my suffering/ Reduced to a sadistic plaything/
It never ceases to amaze, the pain you bring, and what misery brings you pleasure/

Drag me with you below/ Where you can sear me nice and slow/
Within a hell that we can call our own/ At least I’m not burning alone/
This heat can’t melt your heart of stone/ You threw away your chances to attone/
All that’ll remain will be ash and bone/

Until we reanimate the anguish/ Despair is the only language we understand/

Savour sorrow, it’s the only way I know/ I’ve justified the blood that flows and the wrath I bestow/
