The thick cloud that nauseates my spirit Impermanence and disgrace pulled into my lungs Without formality, without deceit, I force myself to breathe while my substance suffocates The purpose of this death, the purpose of my life, to kill again and again that which kills inside Retreat, descend, withdraw and bury humanity Fall back, attack, resign and forgo mortality Breathe deep the overshadow Worship the poison I hear it echo in the dark But I'm too afraid to search If I wanted the end of this maddening voice I'd nail it to a cross Stationary misery to remind me that life will end Just like the saviors and the dreamers of the flesh But I want to keep it at bay So I can learn to relate I could never taint its meaning This voice without faith Stationary misery only mentions that life must end I move forward indifferent, guarded against the flesh Retreat, descend, withdraw and bury humanity

The moonlight will guide me I've guaranteed myself this freedom It will touch the ground as I run And I will run no more When the moonbeams find me Death will become all life In the darkness of death I am created and I need not love I push everything away I have screamed in the dreams of every mountain "Hold me down!" I have been the mist that keeps the horizon in place Holding everything down I push everything away and what when the moonlight finds me? I'm certain the pines will still grow From the footsteps and the ashes Of all culture New trees and new moonlight New trees for the first bolt of lightning I have been the foundation and I have been the remains I push everything away.

All is empty All is alike All hath been The great sadness descends

My longing for new flesh My breaking the backs of all spines of content Their comfort, my writhing in anguish Writhing in anguish This is what never ends I disavow where their skin hangs loosely Disciplined towards tight skin A walking corpse, skin buried within Skin buried within This is what never is So it becomes necessary My ears closed to their foreign tongues My eyes closed to their crooked smiles My back turned My eyes closed to their crooked smiles My ears closed to their moral words My back turned And as I see the sun rise from behind the hill I finally see my destination A radiant light that life tries to deny Pushed out by the graves, consumed by my eye I've been wandering, searching for this light Suffering with contentedness, I fight back with the will to die Attack me, release me, believe me I want this light to set me free I can see the half open gates where I know the gravedigger waits.....

Midnight and the stars pulsate They radiate my contempt for the land I discharge a breath and clench my fists Then walk towards where no stars can be seen There, here is no light And still there will be no love They told me I could escape Their light words-dark graves Midnight and my back won't turn I'll move forward if it means death I ran from my contempt, I ran from my disdain To turn back now would be self-shame Follow the road of light Their words burning in my ears They told me I could escape Their light words-dark graves Midnight, lead me to death To life Starlight, fade out and die As love like life

I force myself to close my eyes A declaration of blindness denied What visions before me Majestic yet daunting Shadows of mountains in my mind Grow bigger with each day I clime The past looms before me Where I've been is where I'll be These visions before me I take as my warning I exist as the distance between the ground and the peak Nameless is the end that I seek Faceless, Timeless, Abstract, Bodiless Others exist as the choice between accept and resist So others cannot exist Meaningless, Purposeless, Thoughtless and Opaque Vapid humans, wretched spirits Leave me to my distance Leave me to my closed eyes.

In my darkest dreams I unclipped the chain of an animal and laughed maliciously as I watched him attack the world. For the first time I filled my chest with fresh air, the cleanliness of discontent. For the first time I filled my chest with fresh air, the purity in aggressive denial of life. While still chained he had warned me, with focused eyes and belligerent posturing, that the affirmations I sought "Exist only through suffering." For the first time I filled my chest with fresh air, the cleanliness of discontent. For the first time I filled my chest with fresh air, the purity in aggressive denial of life. I loved him but denied his intellect.
