Wastelands

bruised and calloused, left for dead but still holding onto the silhouette of a perfect smile. dragging my heels in the perfection I can't be a part of. looking to the eyes to see the future I wish would come. the past I know is fantasy, the way I need it to have been. forcing my memories to conform to my weakness. looking into her eyes the beauty consumes me, but infinite hunger still devours my mind. as I'm left with nothing to believe, I fall endlessly from grace. all I am is empty, and the cause is the look on her face. I look to her to find what I wish existed in me. again paralyzed by the dark. alone for eternity. my infatuation can never release me.

absorb her warmth and let it fade. return to the cold alone and with strength. dissolve this weakness and return to the place where you have control of this mind. forget all those things that now mean nothing, don't let those lies cause you this pain. exist in this moment, it's all that you have. find purpose in this life that drains. breaking this silence by breaking this smile. break away this memory. of an illusioned time. the time that seemed flawless is smothered with imperfection. try again to deny but always it returns. striving to forget yet the memory lingers. still inside this mind with no way to release it. force out this vision, let these eyes go blind. broken and discarded. i've died. forgotten memories bring new pain. that are really relics from yesterday. we created this wasteland. this is where im buried. you dug the grave. i filled it in

you fall to dust and leave us all behind. we cannot control. we cannot relieve. you lock the walls to your dream and grow into the poison inside. feeling it burst your veins. letting it rot your mind. here it is only you and your sickness to keep them away. everyday trapped within makes you bleed and fade. clutch onto me, and let me in. alone your blood will drown.

i bury myself in this disease and slowly forget who i am, until my reflection fades into a haunting silhouette. and i become this darkness, in love with the frozen embrace, slowly erasing reality until i am trapped in this place. so set this mind ablaze, and watch as my emotions fade away. nothing ends this this pain, but it's so much easier when I'm fake. descending into the black. into the darkness i descend

situation without context. orientations-associations obscured. only constant motion driving us forward. numbing-directionless. no point of origin or destination in sight. only spiraling madness on the horizon. dark enigmas cascading into themselves. paradoxical. dark scenarios transpire. manifestations of past horror. inciting epileptic reflex. tremoring. deja vu translating to violent chaos unending. we've fought against this before, but never won. the truth forever inaccessible, i must create my own reason.

This track is instrumental.

Is this song not instrumental?

collapsing obsidian sun. unfathomable destruction. an elegant precursor. the stream comes cascading down. the discontinued bloodline. the last generation. unfulfilled potential. rejection of purpose. final minutes shared in silent company of friends. spent in wistful reverie. the stream comes cascading down. t-plus zero seconds. the true power intimately made real. unrivaled experience. transcending human perception. apathetic universe destroying countless lives. each a blink in the eye of time, the action has no meaning. transcending human perception. the stream comes cascading down

and it fades, your memory of this day, just let life repeat. and never stop to think... but i thought because it means something to me. you always seem to forget, but still it eats away at me. you act without consequence; completing your mission. day by day taking it away, erasing the few human remains. this struggle you never question, you pursue it through to the end. and when you finally finish nothing will be left. the purpose of flesh withers away in the decay of time.

another morning. another regret. awake in this life stained in the vile stench. racing on this path towards redemption and death. blinded by the light at the end. searching for a way to ease this hate. needing this beauty to show me the way. connected to this, forcing to break away. holding your touch, caressing your soft face. feeling this bliss you leave me with inside. feeling this warmth -feeling this lie. carve out a smile. leave it in these eyes. feel this warmth. live this lie. tear out this heart. rip at this bliss. scarred deep within. needing a way to fix this . cut me open. sew me shut. whisper perfect lies into these ears. needing this world, real or fake. to suffocate this life of fear. cut open this shell. erase everything inside. sew up these wounds with perfect lies
