One Way 06:23
One Way A new generation born into betrayal Devoid of loyalty and faith You set the course on this path of destruction Your monster to create Pavlov's dog, beaten and starving Turns his bite on you We're in the midst of an Orwellian nightmare These predictions will ring true A nation devouring it's own Self consuming, cannibalistic Drool forming on the corners of the mouth Greedily licking it's lips But the chattel grows weary of slaughter And offering it's throat for the blade Self-preservation occurs to the masses The consumer transposed to the prey There's only one way to deal with your kind Inevitably pockets of resistance will form The likes of the Weathermen may be seen again Virus or anti-virus is in the eye of the beholder No longer affording a cold turned shoulder A new generation born into betrayal Devoid of loyalty and faith You set the course on this path of destruction Your monster to create

Slumber Collections - Volume 1 I lay in bed and stared out a frost covered window A man outside was staring back at me It didn't strike me as peculiar I felt no real sense of danger I think he was looking for my mother I think he meant her harm He didn't come in until she screamed I still wish she hadn't screamed The time is coming as I grow weary The veil of sleep covers my eyes It takes me so effortlessly And cradles me in shadowed arms Cruel gravity was the accomplice With the one who was following me I tried in vain to run But my legs, my legs were failing me I could hear my family downstairs I knew that they could help me If only I could call out But I was rendered mute

Disembodied 05:52
Disembodied Swirling, swallowing and bursting forth again Each cycle a new revelation It washes over you, the color of the wind Suspended in helpless anticipation Rising Draining Writhing Manipulation of your senses Reeling Circling Reinforcing your vertigo Ascending weightless, emboldened by sensation At least for the time being No longer paralyzed limbs moving freely now Embracing each new feeling Now that the poison has settled in my bones And the storm seems to have abated States of consciousness return to normalcy Appetites for sanity have been sated

Hollow As My Heart Every word you spit, every look you throw Reeks of treachery In this den of conspirators Every action strives for murder There's nothing you can take away from me Dishonor my name or strip my dignity Why do you envy me for happiness, I never had Your victory will be as hollow, hollow as my heart Would you see me drown in misery And turn your head as I gasped for air Would you set my entire world on fire And see my body reduced to ash There's nothing you can take away from me Dishonor my name or strip my dignity Why do you envy me for happiness, I never had Your victory will be as hollow, hollow as my heart I know you want to shame me To put blame on me Destroy and humiliate me You intend to annihilate me And if you did What would you gain Would you confiscate all I've achieved Or only inherit my pain Stand sharp deception, permiates your breath Every exhale reeks of death And this world looks like a place, of great opportunity Through the eyes of a cockroach There's nothing you can take away from me Dishonor my name or strip my dignity Why do you envy me for happiness, I never had Your victory will be as hollow, hollow as my heart

What's Coming To You ( Ego Meets Reality ) Ego: It's time for me to receive, all that's due to me Where is my just deserts, I want my reward Reality: Oh you'll get what's coming to you my friend Everything you deserve in the end Just ask and you shall receive Everything you deserve in the end Ego: You say your my friend, what can you do for me Then please go away, I need you no longer Reality: Oh you'll get what's coming to you my friend Everything you deserve in the end Just ask and you shall receive Everything you deserve in the end Reality: You said you'd itch, & I'd hand you a razor You wanted my help, but I'd help tie that noose You wanted fame, & now the entire world knows you're a fool You desired weath, but you'll never buy respect Ego: How long must I wait, I demand my turn Oh poor pitiful me, how could this be my fault Reality: Oh you'll get what's coming to you my friend Everything you deserve in the end Just ask and you shall receive Everything you deserve in the end

Fever Dream 11:36
Fever Dream A terrible place this fever dream I'm sliding in and out In and out of reality Fire in my body, my fluids boil I'm not sure if I'm awake Casting liquid visions, my eyes melt In a fit of restless agony My temple is burning hot My breath scorches my mouth These hellish dreams, they are tormenting me Fire in my body, my fluids boil I'm not sure if I'm awake Casting liquid visions, my eyes melt In a fit of restless agony Volcanic channels that can never drain An undying inferno rages in my veins Waiting for this suffering to abate Hallucinations are up for debate An internal battle is waged, subconsciously defend A war aflame beneath my skin A seeming eternity to subside This immolation will purify As blistering temples cool My body has been reduced to ash Focus returns to waiting eyes Distancing my awareness from misery Relinquish this misery from my heated brow Not unlike a threshold of pain Return to a state of perception, the common plane Erase this fever dream from my mind

Anxiety Addict Pins and needles, organic to a fault Tension mounts, a worrisome euphoria An anxiety addict, countdown to panic Butterflies in my stomach, with wings of razors I don't want to breathe your poison calm Excruciating boredom – Is withdrawal I'm as wound up tight as a clock That is connected to a time bomb A building elation Therapeutic anticipation No time for trepidation Without benefit of hesitation No need for hypodermic, just hyperventilate Balancing on my heels, on the edge of a cliff Your serenity is my purgatory Decompression always leads to relapse

Deflated and Isolated Who am I trying to fool anyway I don't really know, I can't really say Uninspired by what I find I stay quarantined in my own mind Reopened wounds from the damage done Oxygen sucked out of my lungs Legs are weak, I cannot stand Deflated and Isolated Unable to identify Defense mechanisms in overdrive Standing all alone in a crowd Deflated and I'm isolated This repulsion is saping my strength I'm agitated until I can't even think I'm swarmed and surrounded by fools I'll spend one more day as a purposeful recluse A face paralyzed with eyes that will not flinch Standing still, muscles will not even twitch One moment weightless, and I'm leaden-ed the next Barricaded behind my own flesh Reopened wounds from the damage done Oxygen sucked out of my lungs My legs are weak, I cannot stand Deflated and Isolated Unable to identify Defense mechanisms in overdrive I'm standing all alone in a crowd Deflated and I'm isolated I can mentally escape all the stress Displace myself in my subconsciousness I turn to stone A statue made of flesh and bone Steeling myself in order to stay Assume the role I portray A placid look False binding on the book Shutdown, stop cold in my tracks Enveloped in an unreadable mask Emotions rendered illegible The façade, impenetrable Reopened wounds from the damage done Oxygen sucked out of my lungs Legs are weak, I cannot stand Deflated and isolated Unable to identify Defense mechanisms in overdrive Standing all alone in a crowd Deflated and I'm isolated
