Worst of All Possible Worlds

I long for the peace of a cemetery I want to die For pain and pleasure to remain Beyond the threshold Of a cool, earthen grave Is what I long for More than anything else An unrelenting sun burns my flesh So I seek the refuge in the shadow of the tomb In the shadow of hope now lost The sun sets, a resplendent spectrum But I await the grey I lie down on dew-covered leaves A cool mist embraces me, and I begin to decay (Music and lyrics: Mike)

Shearing, disintegrating The flux of microcosm, macrocosm I object, for goes the tide Cold, voluminous, constant Gently drifting into oblivion Eyeing shifting sands A hollow distraction, losing all the way Circular reason The function of endless lament The light grows only more distant Seldom will pity regress For what is it worth to take it all back? This bleak and selfish hope Condemning fate, withering grass Removed from all senses, All is collapsing, the fragile design The familiar fear consumes my mind Whispers of morning Worn away, fallow, in apathy Deprecating, self-indulgent dejection This pain will not subside Refused What have I done to deserve this? The frigid air cuts deeper still Abandon the failing pleasures Emerging shadows eclipse My only comfort celestial, silent bliss (Music and lyrics: Swansong)

My life is falling apart Cleaved asunder by my secret desires Propelled by an impulse but I am in control Intoxicate copulate No other cause but boredom It happened all at once Blinded by the truth That there is none Life has come to this Endless pursuit of pleasure and power Want to drown in vice Only content for a couple of hours People exist and perish There little families are utterly ridiculous Why can't they see? Why are they blowing this opportunity? I'm a total drunken mess I want it to be like this Secret desires indulge for fun Boredom (Music and lyrics: Richard)

Graven and weary, limp with dread Seizing in fits of nausea Veiled indiscretion Heinous cycle of depravity Essence reduced to abstraction Life withheld from fruition Senses deprived Nowhere to hide Suffering redefined There was no blindfold over your eyes No vile image to conceal O pray this terror Fades to comforting numbness How I would welcome oblivion To escape the loss of myself I shudder to think what I have become Cowering in shame Draped in malice Wallowing in defeated silence How I would welcome oblivion To escape this loss of myself An infinite denial Where has the day gone? Wide open eyes, cast aside None witness the rite of my defilement Clutching in vain to the threads of a tattered memory (Music: Chris and Swansong) (Lyrics: Swansong and Mike)

All my worst fears realized, I give you control The pangs of terror met with rage, compelling me to silence Garbled thoughts explode in screams, willing me to safety Life's ambition purified to simply go on living Some kind of way out Nightmares come as premonitions My child's eyes, oh God Can I ask a question? Some kind of way out Ignoring my own suffocation My Mother's smile, oh God Can I ask a question? Reality bleeds into a hopeless delusion Memories of a warm embrace Broken up by static My own screams seem so far away Giving up on reason I focus o the pain because this is overwhelming (Music and lyrics: Richard)

There is a wave deep within An amplitude unknown to the man instruments of man The red sea was never so deep Far beyond the gates of tears I grow weary of this desolation The red sea was never so deep as this As this gaping wound in my wrist The blood flows out of me The only exodus here is That of life from my body The depths of this sorrow Now lie plainly before me Here at the bottom of this sea (Music and lyrics: Mike)

Brief moments of clarity Beacons on a violent sea Succumb to waves of delusion A fate for-seen and feared full well Your vision so near it's end Like the beauty of sight Marred by a ghastly scene The brightest light you'll ever know Creeps in through thick eyelids of madness The brightest light you'll ever know is of a dour hue Calling out your name but you won't hear Calling out your name but you cannot hear (Music and lyrics: Mike)
