Lost in my disdain, but not defeated
As long as I remain, I will fight
The wrongheaded paths we take or
Manifest in a world of shame
Plague mankind with your benign existence
looking for hands to pull the strings
A world, so blind and so naive
They smile as they light the flame that burns us all
A mindset all too common I'm afraid
But I'll use my last breath screaming for a change
To plant the seeds of hate
They lay a bed of fear
And I can see the fucking roots today
This breed of ignorance
Can't be ignored forever
To fight fire with fire
Only ends in a scorched earth
but what a cunning mind can achieve
is how this is my war to win
Or time will make fools of us all

Sixteen years of thinking and what did I find?
That I'm still dwelling on what's been made of you,
The last light to shine upon your face,
A poisoned body, time's gradual decay
I've cried a thousand tears but now my eyes run dry
And I'll believe in your afterlife the day salvation lies in a fucking box
I have awakened to the fact that through loss I have gained
I have awakened to the fact that this mind is all I have
What purpose did your suffering serve, my guess it's just a lesson learned
Well I've been learning about your righteous god,
But I've seen nothing but violent misery
And I've been searching for a brighter side but empty handed, I've come up short
I have awakened to the fact
That I've got so much left to say but I don't think my words can cut through the dirt
And with a mouth sewn fucking shut, there'd be no answer
Not a fucking thing
Another day, the further you fall from me
Once a brother, now just a memory
Broken, I pick up the pieces of a life I must endure
Alone

Blood through thick and thin so why do I love to watch you suffer?
Selfishness has taken hold of the place where you once stood
Hiding from the shame, idleness created
I can't stand to see your struggle
I can't find the time
I can't show you that someone does care
Too stuck in my self absorbed life led in vain
And I know you'll never understand and I can never see the world through your eyes
But I can see life taking its toll by the remorse painted on your face
I can't find the time
I can't help you escape from your mind
It's adding up with the passing of time
Months turn to years and alone you revel in your shame
Hiding in plain sight from a world that fails to recognize the humanity buried deep inside
Face to face, I see my reflection staring back
Insecurities of a tortured mind, an uneasy
Tear to mend
So I turned my back and walked away from my only true friend
I left you out to rot, and your cries echo in my mind
Until the day I make this right

Pay no mind to what the eye perceives
Because I'm the lone beholder of truth
So feed your fallacies on the garbage spewed from my mouth
Surrender your will to me and I give you my word
And from my ivory tower, I'll spit on your world
Every word that you say just falls to die at my feet
I am your god and your fate belongs to me
You saw past my incompetence to satisfy your fucking pride
So bask in my victory when it's you who's lost
Every word that you say just falls to die at my feet
I am your god and you will fall to me

Life Sentence (Hangman)

Open my eyes to face another day
Another day to suffocate,
Smothered by the choices that I've made
Regret, a constant reminder of a life that's just out of reach
Happiness eludes me once again
Progression stifled by the means of my own hand
Held myself back for far too long
Despite these words I know I'll never change
Just another promise I intend to break
Regression with every step that I take
Keep falling into the same traps that have plagued my past
Every door I try to open, there's something in my way
A life worth of wasted words, better kept as thoughts
I try to keep up but I just can't pull the weight
Open my eyes to face another day
