Part 1: The First Steps of Suffering
There is no going back
This quaint life has come to an end
Hiding what wants to be found
The heavy burden you bare
Trudging through pain and sorrow
To pass unseen by the great eye’s stare
Keep your feet
Keep your feet
You must try not to carry the weight of the dead
Keep looking ahead
Trust only yourself, leave the rest behind
You can’t risk the weakness of mankind
You must keep your feet
Shadows move in the darkness
You must keep your feet
Shadows move in the darkness
You must keep your feet
Shadows move in the darkscripts.
Part 2: Breaking Under the Weight of the Heaviest Burden
From the cold dark, the monster’s eyes stare
A wretched creature, but a common anguish you both bare
A pact must be made for a guide to the gate
You are bound together, bound to share your fate
You are slipping
Further and further into the void
Over time you fight to carry the weight
It grows and grows with every painful step that you take
You’re starving to death as it twists and mangles your mind
You now understand this quest will claim your life
You will bend to my will
Feel my power as your eyes cloud with grief
Fill with doubt as hate spills from your teeth
I am all that matters, I am all you need
This world is lost, place your faith in me
And I will drag you down to an existence between life and death
Schemes of the weak lead you to your demise
Push forward as your hope slowly dies
Your broken body climbs through stone and ash
Your guide plagues what parts of your mind are left
Pass through the walls of webs before you become her meal
Pick yourself up, take hold of your shattered will
You’re so close now
You’ve arrived at the gates of hell
Let it go

Part 1: Syntax Error
Read all the smut
Wrap in plastic
End all suppression
Lay in filth
Wash
Relive your scars
Stay asleep
I need your thirst
My innocence
A mass of blistered spew
Ache for feelings
Weathered from the snow
Leeched out
Boyish moan
Fleeting foaming
Damp pockets
Every shape an eye
I will not let this go
Help me make their voices stop
They all love me here
It’s all talk
They remain
Part 3: Succumb
Impulse
Bankrupt
Unwound
All invasive thoughts
No action
Ruined sense of want
I am the kill that consumes my life
Make your guilt believe
Thoughts of bodies burning
Loyalty
All your thoughts belong to us now
All your thoughts belong to me

Part 1: Guest
Remain staged a shriveled body
The hunted in the clasp
lifelessly, we seep
Begging
Drink my blood as gin
Rejected
Tie me to your throat
(Expel me from your family
Expel me as your waste)
Strip and degrade
always wanting more
Pick me from your teeth
Treat me as your filth
Though I'll beg, I'll plead
Don't let me fall asleep
(Guest)
Part 2: Willing Participant
Lifeless lumps in the snow
Check for fluid
Check for pictures
Fingers fowl
All joy recedes
Keep seizing
Stench of fathers breath
His body lay empty
Sounds
Always // Now
Part 3: Rabbits' Nest
It's not wrong
(Warm inside)
Found where the rabbit sleeps
(18 pills a day keeps me awake)
Pslams of Pain

Part 1: Tomb of Woe
A crescent knife, yields my parts bare
Give my body to the birds and sky
Witness to me, psalms of pain
Fingers cut to nubs, Debt unrepaid
A most empty apparition
I become mist
We were born to shoulder loss
And stand up under the weight
Show me grace
Carry your truth
In a tomb of woe
We were born to shoulder loss
And stand up under the weight
A most empty apparition
I become missed
Part 2: Pulled From Flesh
Am I this void?
Darkness consumed
I am my keeper
Show you my wounds
Pray to rewire
Beg to forget
Freed by reflection
Thorn pulled from flesh
Am I this void?
Darkness consumed
I am my keeper
Show you my wounds
Animate this lifeless husk
Let the sun burn the veil that blinds my eye
This empty hole can wait
Let the sun burn the veil that blinds my eye
Come back, come back
To open doors no longer shut
To frailty collapsed
Part 3: Ascend
Unraveled at such speed, I’ve awaken me
Remember death, the mark it left
Sorrow I’ve set free
No one to beg, no one to follow
Unburdened here, I’ve made it home
Refuse to bend the knee
I ascend, mended with a purpose
A beacon of light burning through the past
I ascend, mended with a purpose
A beacon of light, no longer missed
