The Contortionist
EP • 2009
I have seen the sun rise and set Felt my blood drip from my mouth But nothing could have prepared me for what came next Is this just paranoia that has shaken me, shaken me right down to my core? Or is this just the beginning of worse things to come? Have my eyes begun to deceive, deceive me again? The reality of this wretched end will bring us to our knees We are all better off dead We are all better off dead We are all better off dead There is nothing we can do tonight But hope this all gets better with time and patience The falling days will consume us all and turn our bones to dust Turn our bones to dust Turn our bones, turn our bones to dust

Thousands of wasted words, millions of misinterpreted miscommunications Progress is slowing A delayed reaction has caused a momentary lapse All of this feels like a nightmare I can't escape Caught between the realms of sleep and bad reality that has left me trapped under ice And I'm drowning and fighting for air to survive With nowhere to go I feel the water fill my lungs and take me into its arms I never thought I would end I never thought I could die like this I refuse to look into the light No I refuse to look into the light No I will not die I will not die like this What did you expect? This is not a dream, but a thought Not a dream, but a thought Death will come to me on my own terms Come to me on my own terms Death will come to me on my own terms

All that is left of me are the eyes of a killer Cold and calculated rage calls my name Rips my soul right from my chest These are the days that show what desperation has done to me My thirst for blood grows with every step The world seems to be drowning, but I'm burning in lies My life is still burning in lies and I'm sick of this shit Behold my darker side for all to see The darkness hiding in these pale eyes I've seen the skies topple from the heavens And watched mountains crumble under the weight of the rain Yet all I can feel is contempt Contempt I've felt our lives change for the better And witnessed the fall that changed our lives forever Watched our faded forms walk into the mist Into the light Of revenge and hateful spite I awake from my slumber tonight Forever changed into this insatiable bloodhound Desperate for this change Desperate for change that affects everyday I will not stand still and watch this ruin our lives and numb our souls

Never again Never again Never again will I fall victim to this curse

A warning to conducting officers of the machine You are most exposed to the diatomic focused-gravity Stray cosmic rays Are threatening our Generational biosphere Celestial missiles envelop Nearby space climate zones In the void Prolonged exposure to trace amounts Of dark matter produces an exponential decomposition

I have scoured the earth for the pieces of me that I lost when you left When you walked across the threshold of love and into the open arms of betrayal I've left no stone unturned, no page of the book unread, no corner of the earth unexplored I start to fear that these pleasantries have gone on for far too long Have carried out for far too long Have carried out for far too long Why don't you entertain the thoughts of everything that you love being gone? Life starts to turn into a broken record, one endless shitstorm right after the other Why don't we grab another drink to take for the road? And make things easy, easy, and make things easier on the both of us And we can only pray that this does not kill us all And we can only pray that this does not devour us Devour us where we stand I've swallowed my fears, protected every inch If it makes this better for you, if it makes this stick I have prayed for total annihilation From everything that has held me to you Through all of these lifeless days If there is one thing that I have learned over the years It's that there is no change There is no change without There is no change without Without conflict
