Sorrow intertwining with heartbreak and misery A haunted memory begins to make its passing Left alone a forgotten tombstone, left there forsaken A blank canvas to paint your end Lost in a clouded sky A grey the same as your eyes Stare down at the hole in the earth And dream of an eternity The blood pouring matches the rose on your grave Dancing to the sounds of the angels crying Revel in the decadence as the light begins to fade Let go and you’ll feel the pain slide off like the rain Revel in the decadence as the light begins to fade Let go and you’ll feel the pain slide off like the rain Lights flicker and flash Blacking in and out of reality Transforming your inner thoughts into a narration Lies, embrace polarity Goodbyes, become fantasy Leaves fall as the wind blows through, The emptiness of your soul You have no morality, A fragile sense of existence Aimless, senseless, a shrine to mortality Question why everything crumbles, without a reflection There’s no god at your side, you fall prey to the curse of man Their lies, offer comfort with no spiritual essence A life without substance serving a false prophet You have no morality, A fragile sense of existence Feel the warmth of sunlight against your face as the light fades Submit an offering to cleanse your cursed spirit Your mind breaks and the tides turn The pendulum swings Idolizing, paralyzing, a mentality [x2]

The rain it makes me dream of a plane where the light dies A tomb for my fractured mind A place where the pain subsides The lost souls bound to eternity The Overwhelming grip of reality My portrait fades as the mirror breaks Breaking lost hopes to ashes Dreaming in decay Crying out in agony A solemn weeping heard as the rain pours on the pavement As the world decays, your god abandons you Shattered glass casts a reflection of a polar identity Stitching broken heartstrings A melody for heartbreak A threnody for catastrophe the downfall of infinity The light is fading out There is no solace left Hope dies in vain as reality becomes clearer, There is no end in sight The affliction never ends The blood runs down the glass Painting a perfect picture Of the end of another entity The candles flicker out The reflection disappears Time is running out as the despair grows The image fades away into nothingness Falling out of touch with reality Feel the weight of profound calamity Letting go is the hardest part I pray you never feel this pain Nothing ever lasts forever [x9]

Running in circles Drowning in echoes My psyche binds as I'm compressed in shadows Crawling and bleeding and gasping for air My time runs out as I'm watching the end Planning and dreaming how it will all end Deeper the scars as the sheets turn to red Calculate everything so perfectly As I wait for my impending demise Black my eyes Cut my wrists Pour salt on the gushing wound No medicine for the sickness You can't save me from this Black my eyes Cut my wrists Pour salt on the gushing wound No medicine for the sickness You can't save me from this I am not safe when it's on my mind Blessed are the hearts that can bend They shall never be broken I'm just another sick statistic Lights go out as the curtains fall Happiness dies when I close my eyes Lights go out as the curtains fall Nothing ever changes in the end A broken perception A nameless tragedy that befalls a broken system Lights out

Crying out for help Scream in darkness Shooting through your veil Removing your facade Cast down, chewed up, spit out, stand up Cast down, chewed up, spit out, now it’s done Bite back with our broken teeth And take one good look at yourself and realize You are not safe from the shifting tide Renounce yourself, submit for the pain you caused Lock your knees as the blade falls down No more of your endless charade Our solace stays Our pride endures Your oppression breaks and You’ll feel the pain we’ve felt Bite back Break the chains Of the broken system Show them no remorse Let’s see, you try Try to Escape this

I hate everything that I see in the mirror I hate everything that I see

Calamity 05:13
Trapped in insecurity Comfort in instability Sorrow brings closure to a rotting heart Leaves fall Seasons change Sunlight begins to fade A shadow of pain begins to take its place Leaves fall Seasons change Sunlight begins to fade A shadow of pain begins to take its place Phasing in and out like phases of the moon The voices come and go Whispering a somber ending And the ending will come oh so peacefully As I take my final gasp of air One lucky cigarette One more bottle left I am lying still I give in to the disease White lines surrounding Drown out everything I can’t shake the craving and the walls are closing in Reminisce Relapse I’m shattering like glass In my mind, every semblance of solace fades Choking, on regret Reliving past mistakes Through flashes of black and white My vision starts to fade Traumatic moments converge in my head Surrounding the pieces of my shattered memory One night, one line Time for resolution Lower the coffin The sun begins to set Rain pours down Sky turns grey I confess, I gave in to the substance Time stops, light fades Thoughts become reality Embrace the absurd Do not resuscitate When my heart stopped The world kept spinning Nothing but blackness It felt so painless I was all alone in an empty room Self destruction was the only solution Self destruction, the addiction Led me to a point of no return The craving was all too much to bear I’ve finally caved in to the disease (I’m falling out of sequence I’m fading into nothing) (x2) I’ll never see heaven I will rot in the earth Please don’t waste your tears I’ve finally found my peace As my heart decays I will stare at the clouds Watching the seasons change I’ve finally found my peace
