The New Golden Rule
Lines drawn
At my feet
Been weakened
But still standing
Forget the past
I've buried it
And buried you
No conscience
No pity
The world I walk
Scattered with scum
Bereft of morales
Except for some
Tear these knives from my back
Remove these hands from my throat
And turn them on yourself
Coward
No longer will I stand
And let this come to pass
A shallow grave welcomes you
And your kind
Ive suffered for my mistakes
My sins follow me
Haunted until the end
By all these bitter memories
Thought I accept my fate
I will not writhe alone
My words will burrow deep
Inside all of your broken bones
Suffer sinner
Heed my words
Suffer sinner
Heed my return
BURN
Fucking burn

The Never Ending Catharsis
Cut down
From every angle and perspective
Shut out
By a world built on the backs of others
No sound
Will pass from these lips to others
The sound
The silence offers me respite
The cold
Is where youll find me fucking shaking
Unknown
The cure to this crippling disease
I wish I knew
How to keep moving
But the face in the mirror has become my enemy
In the midst of all this ruin
I must find strength deep within
I am better than this
I must use my anger
And fight this and all of you
I will end you motherfucker
Once and for all
This is my life
And I refuse to back down
I'll stare you in the eyes
Motherfucker
Too many years I've wasted
Crippled and alone
Smash the mirror
Break the habit
I fear you no more
I have stared into a thousand mirrors
And always seen my enemy
I have stared into a thousand broken mirrors
I will smash this fear inside of me
We are ready
We are ready
We are ready for war
I am my worst enemy
Conquer the demons inside me

Rock Star Fucking Jesus

Rockstar Fucking Jesus
Spending countless hours
Wasting all our time
Telling us that we're imperfect
Showing us that nothing's fine
It's a fucking lie
Go back into the hole
You crawled out of
And give us piece of mind back
You fucking coward
Self assured
Self proclaimed
Rockstar fucking jesus
Drown in your shame
And as you feel your lungs
Filling with salty water
You've got no one to blame
But yourself
Please pay it forward
And descend to hell
Feigning ignorance
In the face of adversity
Offering no answers
Or possibilities
Watch as the kingdom
Crumbles at your feet
Find me waiting for you
While you retreat
Nothing more than a disease
No longer plaguing me

The Dreams We Have Will Continue to Fail Us
A new era begins today
Embrace what little is left
All eyes pointed to the ground
As our dreams shatter all around us
The hope that we once spoke of
A distant fucking memory
Our hope, our mind, our conscience
Nothing more than a fallacy
Fucked
Just like the future we created
Fucked
No hearts remain faultless or pure

Expression of Resentment
03:25

There's nothing left
To say do or think
To express
The disgust
I feel inside
The fall that you've endured
Made my descent
That much easier
As hordes of leeches clamor for a taste
Of blood left tainted
By poor decision
The once so pure
Now obscene and fucking squalid
I can no longer hide
My disgust for you
I'd rather be filled with resentment
Than an empty shell of flesh
This is my descent to bare
And I'll see it through
Though hell may await me
My burdens stay on this earth
Though hell may await me
My sins are left on this earth
For I have shed them all
Along with you
And promise never to return
Never to return

Taking in the View from the Top
In retrospect
I should have been more of my concern
Instead of you
Staring death in the face
And I've never felt so alive
My feet on the edge
Hands shake from nerves
Here I face my mortality
Once choice an exit
The other rife with conflicts
Will I stay and suffer
Or will I fade away
This question haunts me
Once step forward
And this all could end
Remove the burden of mind and heart
With unforgivable sin
I choose if I live or die
I refuse to carry this burden
One step further
I refuse to carry this burden
Tear out my heart
I dont need it anymore
This is my life
I know my self worth
This is my time
I know my self worth
