Demoness 01:15
To the ones with golden hearts to the ones with silken tongues spill their blood no more innocence I remember what once was my demoness, she stood upon their necks you are coldest winters you are hell upon young lovers spill their blood no more I'll take my hate I'll take my hurt I'll take her name straight to the fucking grave
2.
Grim Rose 01:15
Another day another night another heartache in this long goodbye you were the meaning and you were the reason to weather these storms to keep singing to a corpse for hopes of calmer seas and kinder waves that would bring you drifting back to me still holding on still keeping lifted the door of your tomb living every moment, dying in search of you living dying living dying every moment no hope no fucking hope

Mother, I held your hand my warmth left with yours eyes half open, I stared at the void a haunting vision of where you now wander do my screams pierce the earth of your grave? I am weak so fucking weak I just wanted to make you proud of me Mother, can you feel the loneliness of a young boy naked and cold? you were my only reason to be good and now you're gone cursed to drag your coffin to always remember what will never return
5.
In my heart there is a funeral ever dark and perpetual in my heart it is permanent winter leaves gently falling upon your name and everyday I return to embrace the headstone overgrown and broken as these tears are falling I sing to you every night from here
6.
Sewn Limbs 00:24
I know that you're gone my love never to return the grave it keeps you like the ash within the urn but if I had a needle and thread made of golden twine I'd sew our hearts together dear I'd sew your hand to mine
7.
Cry Baby 01:09
These sheets are an endless black sea an ancient raven's plume carrying me over hell and over memory as I'm obsessing over what you're doing and if you're thinking of me I touch your name on the backlit screen a familiar mistake I can't help but repeat you'll pick up the phone you'll roll your eyes I'm falling apart again tonight
8.
She touches me like a vet handling feral dogs just put me down she scratches at my body like a rat sifting through trash legs spread wide as the wound is this how you truly see me and you? I want to die another fleeting kiss another anguished fuck speaking love stitched in lies I can't help but like the taste another night dear parasite another scar heart shaped

Swarm Sound 03:32
I heard you crying A horrifying shriek that woke me in the morning before school Darkness still covered the sky as Jesus wept upon my head I went outside and found you half buried under a pear tree I picked you up You were covered in ants They stung my hands I put you in a box with food and water I skipped school to keep you safe You wouldn't eat you wouldn't drink Too many times you went silent I held you under the rain to hear you cry again Any sign of life... But soon the screams became louder The shrieks more anguished I knew the end was coming Crumpled over I cried I prayed to God Please save this poor creature Don't let it die in front of me I put my finger your mouth Teeth pierced my flesh Your body twisted something grotesque And I knew in that moment you were dead I'm so sorry The parasites that covered your body said they no longer wished to drink dead blood Pour upon my arm Cover my skin Feast on me They became my void And as the swarm sound came flooding in... I knew then that God doesn't exist God doesn't exist God doesn't exist God doesn't exist God doesn't exist
10.
I've given into nothingness embrace the noose around my neck I blame no one else I've given up I fucking hate myself
11.
No one truly loves you no one ever will no one truly fucking loves you and no one ever will
12.
Bone Tower 00:29
My love was true as deep as the wounds as long as the days spent and the nights suffered in fever dreams of you gold tarnished under the light of a black sun breathing life into what should stay dead I'll ascend a tower of our broken bones and sit upon a throne of heartache I hope these ropes will give me solace I hope these knives will bring her back to life
13.
Appleseed 01:33
I will wait by the grave as those old ghosts drag you back to this place and I stand still in that worn out suit clutching flowers rotten and wilted smile faded in the summer heat eyes darkened in your heart's fatigue how they lost their light how I long to see them one last time to hold your hand in mine and it all reminds me of how our seasons changed to black and grey how those brilliant yellows and blues did fade away as our halo fell and our kingdom turned to dust I still remember those words "Sometimes love isn't enough"
14.
Blastphemous 00:43
Music is my god now Grind, oh king of kings pound their fucking Christ to dust church of noise holy ground turn their fucking crosses upside down
15.
Eulogist 03:02
I had a dream that I was the eulogist at my own funeral with this to say: "He is a liar, his soul is poisoned, his flesh is weak, he only hurts the ones he loves. Upon the pews I see his mother, his father. Look at your son and see his broken dreams, his past in violent shades of red, his failures piled atop his chest, his future as it amounts to nothing." All has left me All has rotted farewell.
