Frailty 02:48
Trying desperately not to fall apart The warmness of your embrace Shatters my frozen heart Trying desperately to hold onto your hand As I’m falling further down this pit of anguish Reaching out for a sign that you’re still here After my world came crumbling My sanity came crashing Pacing back and forth Watching the shadows dance Or is it just my mind I feel it slipping away Scraping through broken glass Sifting passed fractured memories My fingers are numb from the cold Sever the pain away Stop this End this Look me in the eyes Lie to me again and say that it’ll be alright Lying in a coffin for two All alone with my thoughts Our souls are entwined Yet I will not share this pain I will cast you down onto a bed of thorns Burning the effigy of your beauty We are meant to be but the blood won’t stop Broken hearts melt in the gloom

Eyes roll back as the lights fade out Turn away as tears begin to fall No resurrections, no weightless lies This is no paradise Watch your step around false pretenses The lies crack beneath your feet Giving way to your facade Begging for the truth from your serpent tongue Watching and waiting For the day when you give back. You’ll bring about the end of another life And stake the knife into my heart No substance, no meaning No point in living a lie Bow down to your false idols And choke on the words you recite Living through agony, watching you bathe in euphoria, while the rest of us drown in distress Waiting for a sign Only sorrow left Only the pain remains This suffering will give way to our resistance Watch the colors fade from grey into a brand new vibrance There is no paradise as long as the wretched still torment There will be no mercy Sharpen the blades and let them fall Enough is enough No more of your authority No more of your charade No more false promises No prayer will save you now Say goodnight motherfucker Enough is enough Tired of this so called “life” Choke on your fascist lies There’ll be no flowers on your grave

Cowardice 02:27
You mean nothing You live a worthless life All you do is spew hate and intolerance So look me dead in the eyes and say it to my face Your bigotry will mean nothing when your teeth are pressed to the curb There’s no escape from this, no god will save you now Can’t run away Can’t hide Face me you fucking coward Enough of your ignorance Enough of your white pride Run away with your tail tucked between your legs Cry out and no one answers No more of your prejudice The time has come for our resistance You’ll feel the pain we’ve felt Endless suffering for you Can’t run away Can’t hide from this Can’t escape our revenge The time has come, no more tears Open your eyes Your hatred will mean nothing When the blade slashes your throat You queerphobic, racist You fascist, fucking pig
4.
Nothing changes as our hearts stop Slipping into a fractured state Trying to tame the agony I can’t take this Just want to scream in pain Scratching and tearing Through the endless heartbreak The numbness has become permanent (Something) stop this (Give me) another hit (Stop it) just leave me (End it)drop dead (Too many)dark thoughts (Crowding) my head (Crying) out for help (A bullet) to their heads Thrown to the wolves That are at the door Sharpen your pretty teeth and Don’t let them bury you No one will help this We must end this Tired of suffering In this surrounding hell They’ll keep you down Until your final breath Bash back and silence them Of their ignorance

Bloodstains 03:31
Waiting for the end, to see you fall Discomfort, and anguish, are what you’ve cursed me with I can’t see, I’m blinded Blinded by the atrophy No more of this, we’ll stop this Your cruelty will come to an end Press the knife deeper into your ice cold heart Feel the weight of your world shattering Waiting nervously Biting my tongue You’ll get what you deserve If it means the death of me Enough of your lies, enough of your bigotry I’ll bury you with my hands, and nail your coffin shut You’ve caused so much pain Now you’ll understand The pain we’ve truly felt As the blade punctures You liar I’ll stitch your mouth shut So you can’t spread hate Nothing will remain All that’s left is dirt Covered in blood Left to rot in the dark A stain to wash away You’ll have no funeral No flowers on your grave Nothing to remember you Just your bloodstains This cannot be undone Remove the veil of lies Burn it all to embers As I watch your memory fade
