My strength is nothing but an illusion
I am just a normal human
Roaming a world of pestilence
Black reaper bears the weight of the guilt
Tired and worn down
Wanting out of the life that’s built
My strength is nothing but an illusion
I am just a normal human
Parasite in my skull
Pessimism bleeds to the brain
Resentment flows through these veins
Guilt is worn best with shame
Exhaust all enemies
Press forward like a centipede
Manifest the things inside
Bear the weight of negativity

Disgust

I despise all that I see
Sing you to sleep with my soliloquy
Mindless drones ‘til death
Begging on your knees
Hopeless examples of a life to lead
Doubting every path you don’t believe
Plead for wealth and greed
One day hoping to succeed
Get up off your bruising knees
Break free from the chains of society
Vultures you prey, pick on the weak
I’ll dig your graves, put you to sleep
Live in the filth, wearing a crown
False sense of king, you belong in the ground
Entitled and lonely
Ego rots your bones inside out slowly
Leech on the mind sucking out thought
Life of waste and nothing more
Disgusting vermin scum, no human decency
Your morals over run by your vicious tendencies
Open up your eyes and ears, I’ll make you fucking see
The piece of shit you are, fumbling in the dirt you breathe
Routine paints a dying picture
Wounds exposed to show no suture
Subconsciousness escapes by morning
Confronted with a sense of dread
Pain swells inside of my chest
violent fantasies run through my head
This is malicious intent
This is a fucking threat
Chasing your substance and stability
Stuck in a deep rut saying “I am free”
Should I just give up and never succeed?
If this is the life I’ll be forced to lead
Don’t ever try and deter me, I’m not interested in your routine
So just bleed me out I will not be stuck forever in this in between
Inhale dust, exhale death
Rip out their spines, stomp on their heads
Inhale dust, exhale death
Rip out their spines, stomp on their heads

Spineless

Intentions are pure but fear I’m just like the rest
Hateful, deceitful, lying, regretful, constant second best
No regard for this world, only think about themselves
Now I walk through this hell, once an angel then I fell
Glimpse at the world through the eyes of a nihilist
Everything is worthless, serving no purpose
Confined to my mind, stuck in a cycle so near lifeless
I refuse help, my mouth sealed shut
It crawls beneath my skin, itching to get out
Disdain breeds within, spinelessness again
All the things that I deplore
Live within this mental sprawl
Concerned, deserved with no applause
The curtains close, can’t watch me fall
Further discomfort, another flaw, more mistakes I’ve made
So much regret, it’s all I know, caught in the undertow
Pulsating weight inside my skull
The pressure is building, I want out now
Twitching and flinching, uneasy and shaking
From the inside out I am rapidly breaking
Glimpse at the world through the eyes of a nihilist
Everything is worthless, serving no purpose
Confined to my mind, stuck in a cycle so near lifeless
I refuse help, my mouth sealed shut
Walking paradox, feel out of place
Parts of myself I must erase
Stay the same and nothing’s changed
Old ways here to stay
It crawls beneath my skin, itching to get out
Disdain breeds within, spinelessness again
A worthless pawn, a stepping stone
This nervousness is all I’ve known
Cautious, anxious and all alone
Refuse to be a mindless drone
All the things that I deplore
Live within this mental sprawl
Concerned, deserved with no applause
The curtains close, can’t watch me fall
Can't watch me fall
Sympathy falls into the maw

Wasn’t made for a 9 to 5
Just burnt out so quickly, not like the rest
Suicidal thoughts don’t run through their heads
Day to day living is tiring at best
Make a scene, make a statement
Poor attempt to be remembered
A slave to the dirt
Buried underneath
For too long I’ve watched them
Drain their life for a source of income
Face the fact, there is not life
Day in and day out, only empty fucking favours
Laugh and scoff, disregard to mock, and it’s all for nought
To rot in a grave as a slave to the dirt
Barely living, don’t think of fucking dreaming
Cause it’s all for nought, you’ll still rot in a grave
Wasn’t made for a 9 to 5
Just burnt out so quickly, not like the rest
Suicidal thoughts don’t run through their heads
Day to day living is tiring at best
You’ll still rot in a grave
Face the fact, you’re running out of time
Empty heart and mind, falling into line
Laugh and scoff, disregard to mock, and it’s all for nought
To rot in a grave as a slave to the dirt
Barely living, don’t think of fucking dreaming
Cause it’s all for nought, you’ll still rot in a grave
You keep mocking me
Open your mind and you will see
You have me backed into a corner
I won’t be another sheep to the slaughter

Cognitive Dissonance

These hands have felt too much, my mouth has said enough
Disgusting, spineless, abusive, toxic nothing but a hypocrite
Filthy urges and scumbag tendencies
Hurting other people not to gain or displease
Only think about myself
Shouldn’t have folded the hand I was dealt
Regret people I got close with, girls that I slept with
Decisions were my mistakes and it makes me fucking nauseous
Cut ties with old friends, cauterising loose ends
Feeling the relief of this post dead weight cleanse
For too long I’ve let guilt consume me
Time to end this overwhelming feeling
Won’t be defined by idiosyncrasy
Here’s my final chance to be revealing
These hands have felt too much, my mouth has said enough
These hands have felt too much, my mouth has said enough
These hands have felt too much, my mouth has said enough
These hands have felt too much, my mouth has said enough
I am tainted, my fate has been cemented in the pavement
I look down and see my lifeless body on the ground
Weighing up my options, overriding the precautions
Consequences out the window, relieve this sense of vertigo
Pick at the skin between my nails
Hope to god my body fails
These hands have felt too much, my mouth has said enough
These hands have felt too much, my mouth has said enough
My strength was just an illusion
I am nothing but a normal human
My strength was just an illusion
I am nothing but a normal human
