Skeletal monuments, once proud and strong Now crumbling beneath acidic fingertips Your whispers corrode my weakening frame, each word Bone by bone, we're excavated Fragments scattered where vows once stood Marrow sucked from hollow promises Your teeth gnaw through what remained of good Bone by bone, we're excavated Fragments scattered where vows once stood Marrow sucked from hollow promises Your teeth gnaw through what remained of good I taste mineral death upon your lips Each kiss extracts another fragment of my spine Jaw unhinged from truth's last gasp As our foundation crumbles Bone by bone, we're excavated Fragments scattered where vows once stood Marrow sucked from hollow promises Your teeth gnaw through what remained of good Bone by bone, we're excavated Fragments scattered where vows once stood Marrow sucked from hollow promises Your teeth gnaw through what remained of good This is what remains Slivers embedded in walls we built You mine my skeleton for sustenance Harvesting what structure remains between us My skull, a bowl to catch the dripping memories That crystalize to needles piercing through Bone by bone, we're excavated Marrow drained and replaced with sand Our sacred frame desecrated These pillars of us crumble in my hands Bone by bone, we're excavated Fragments scattered where vows once stood Marrow sucked from hollow promises Your teeth gnaw through what remained of good Bone by bone, we're excavated Fragments scattered where vows once stood Marrow sucked from hollow promises Your teeth gnaw through what remained of good Fragments floating in the wine we share Your whispers still echo in the caverns you hollowed out I watch you carve away my sternum Scraping out the cartilage that once cushioned blows My ribs, a cage you pry apart with measured force Where devotion once resonated This is what remains Slivers embedded in walls we built Fragments floating in the wine we share Your chants still ring

Open the doors Introduce infectious spores through the halls Bite into nothing, extinguish the light Welcome to the rot of night Summon the void All essence ruined in ominous light Melting away into cups of malice Bathed in dismay, blinded eternal bliss Candles sputter in breathless halls Golden glow on walls that rot Laughter drips like venom sweet While famine gnaws beneath your feet Goblets brim with molten sky Chalice raised to hollow tides Hunger sated, debts repaid Banquet carved from brittle veins Meatless bones on silver trays Fingers grasp, but crumble away No harvest yields, no seed remains Yet still the feast adorns decay Goblets brim with molten sky Chalice raised to hollow tides Hunger sated, debts repaid Banquet carved from brittle veins Devour the hollow, drink deep the waste Feast upon famine, let hunger erase Bite into nothing, let bones collapse Drowning in opulence, kingdom of wax Devour the hollow, drink deep the waste Feast upon famine, let hunger erase Bite into nothing, let bones collapse Drowning in opulence, kingdom of wax Tables melt in flickering light Flesh turns brittle, swallowed by night Tongues taste dust, throats run dry Still the feast denies its lie Goblets brim with molten sky Chalice raised to hollow tides Hunger sated, debts repaid Banquet carved from brittle veins Drip by drip, the banquet fades Nothing but hollow parades When the last flame flickers and dies Who will remain to consume the sky?

Within chambers of relentless decline A pulse tolls each fading beat Where shadows confess rusted relics Fragments of glass refract a broken past Reflecting forsaken substance, dilapidated Through crevices in time-worn flesh Ignored by the living, hushed tones rise and flow Shattered essence imprisoned in ruin's maze Treading disintegrated paths Where fractured visions stray Flesh dissipates into broken matter Merging with pallid dismay Air deserts the contour Swept away by erosion's quiet command Drifting through a shrouded abyss Where chaos unspools Splinters of what was once whole Buried in total disintegration Crumbling walls pulsate with archaic beat Vessels etch a shrine of petrified bone Sculpting subdued chaos past human ken Being distorts under time's reign Flesh dissipates into broken matter Merging with pallid dismay Air deserts the contour Swept away by erosion's quiet command Drifting through a shrouded abyss Where chaos unspools Splinters of what was once whole Buried in total disintegration Tendrils of decay bind splintered thought Pieces of time coil around a hardened spine Reflections shatter into a warped visage In scattered truth, self disintegrates Eyes sealed, yet visions endure Subdued strains entwine within Chilling traces mark a surface left unscarred In realms of disarray, logic is cast aside In still vigil, awaiting the collapse Visages empty Dim traces of buried brilliance Years of misery No cry nor sorrow rings out Only the wander of forgotten forms Drifting, unclaimed, a broken visage Once vibrant, now withered Amid the still of disarray Final remnant takes hold Tendrils of decay bind splintered thought Pieces of time coil around a hardened spine Reflections shatter into a warped visage In scattered truth, self disintegrates Eyes sealed, yet visions endure Subdued strains entwine within Chilling traces mark a surface left unscarred In realms of disarray, logic is cast aside Flesh dissipates into broken matter Merging with pallid dismay Air deserts the contour Swept away by erosion's quiet command Drifting through a shrouded abyss Where chaos unspools Splinters of what was once whole Buried in total disintegration

Virtues calcified to dust Foundations crumble under whispered lies Each concession carves deeper wounds Into the architecture of integrity Compromise becomes oxygen Breathed until suffocation feels like growth Principles dissolve in acid rain Of rationalized surrender Surrender Values bleed into sand Conviction's skeleton bleached by synthetic light What stood firm now bends to breaking Moral spine twisted beyond recognition The feast begins with crumbs Ends with devouring mountains whole Corruption never announces arrival But leaves footprints in abandoned beliefs Corrosion crawls through sacred halls Silent cancer of the conscience Decay disguised as evolution The terminal disease of moral drift Boundaries fade like ancient maps Weathered by storms of small surrender The landscape unrecognizable When viewed through eroded eyes Terminal erosion Conscience silently rusting The slow dissection of resolve Completed atom by atom Corrosion crawls through sacred halls Silent cancer of the conscience Decay disguised as evolution The terminal disease

Faded inscriptions on brittle stone Carved in veins, yet left unknown Fractured visions slip and wane Dissolving into hollow grain Torn awake By the whispering weight Reflections shifting Through the fractures of a hollow state Bind the void Suffocate the voice Erode the self's foundation Until the past is breaking The inevitable silence calls Unraveled threads in ruined halls At the edge of recollection, waits disintegration Flesh still warm, yet unknowing Flickering minds unsewing Fractured truths dissolve in dying light Falling through the cracks of time Torn awake By the whispering weight Reflections shifting Through the fractures of a hollow state Splintered voices in hollow breath Carved in walls, yet left unsaid Fading structures lost in dust Dissolved within the tide of rust The inevitable silence calls Unraveled threads in ruined halls At the edge of recollection, waits disintegration Flesh still warm, yet unknowing Flickering minds unsewing Fractured truths dissolve in dying light Falling through the cracks of time Falling through the cracks of time Raise the absence Bleeding from within Clutching the fading Summon the forgotten Fading into nothing Language slipping into dust Storming through the mind Empty winds will howl Faltering steps lead astray Devoured by void A river of absence consumes the way Tearing into the void Buried beneath the weight Drenched within the eulogy Mist erasing the shape Under the frozen moon Hearing the formless dirge Denying your own reflection Chained within an endless maze Lay me down Raise the thirst for dusk Fractured laws Reap the remnants of shattered trust Raise the absence Bleeding from within Clutching the fading Falling through the cracks of time Torn awake By the whispering weight Reflections shifting Through the fractures of a hollow state Forces unseen claim the remnants of a broken name

Four walls breathing in the dark Counting cracks like counting stars Sleep's a stranger, dreams in disarray Reality bleeds into grey Days bleed into endless nights Phantom voices Every shadow holds a threat Every breath's a cold regret My reflection speaks in tongues Words like poison Isolation feeds the beast Never-ending feast Shattered glass and broken dreams Sanity tears apart When the darkness closes in Where does madness end and reason begin? Days bleed into endless nights Phantom voices Every shadow holds a threat Every breath's a cold regret My reflection speaks in tongues Words like poison Isolation feeds the beast Never-ending feast Hands shake like autumn leaves Consciousness deceives Time moves in circles Lost in the maze of my own sound The silence screams louder than the noise Killing my own voice Flesh feels foreign on these bones Living life in monotones Colors drain from everything Death's a song that shadows sing The world keeps spinning while I fall Through the cracks inside these walls Isolation builds its throne In a mind that's not my own

Flesh of the valley, torn by iron teeth Wound upon wound, bleeds silicate grief Veins of ore sucked dry, collapsed to dust Maggots of industry gorge in rust Roots strangled in concrete ossuary Bark flayed, raw skin of the arboreal quarry Rivers, once serpents, gutter like slit throats Choked in chemical bile and plastic coats Acid fogs kiss cliffs to bone Face of the mountain gnawed to stone Ash rains down like moulting skin Feeding the loam with the wages of sin No elegy in the tremor of earth Only the thunder of stillborn birth Horizon festers with smokestack bloom Blight made god in nature's tomb Worms coil in soilless marrow Drinking deep from the tombstone furrow Blackened wings beat skies to bruise Sun weeps red through carbon noose Cold breath of machine sermons preaches Scorching the lungs of hills it reaches Erosion, not slow but surgical Stripped to the cartilage beneath the ice Scraped to nerve What none deserve In melted ice Slow and precise Bent to serve what none deserve Obsidian petals bloom from decay Garden where silence eradicates No pulse in the vine, no song in the glade Garden where silence eradicates Crust severs where glaciers once grieved Tears fossilize where roots disbelieved Tectonic joints crack under weightless greed A crown of smoke for the atom seed Crust severs where glaciers once grieved Tears fossilize where roots disbelieved Tectonic joints crack under weightless greed A crown of smoke for the atom seed Scraped to nerve What none deserve In melted ice Slow and precise Bent to serve what none deserve Obsidian petals bloom from decay Garden where silence eradicates No pulse in the vine, no song in the glade Garden where silence eradicates
