Hello inside your hollow feel, do you remember why you're laughing? What you're saying and what I'm hearing, these things are not the same You stare through, I look at you, freshness lacking in your words I wish this would change, you'll stay the same, you like to be the problem You face me through the mirror, an image of my inner self A forgotten configuration, controlling me, my outer self Barbed impressions, shifting thoughts confusing me An emotional creation, a psychotic separation I'm the front, you'll take my place and stick me with the rest of the lost My face, your face, what face? Will I know me tomorrow?

Morbid Wake 03:29
I arose cloaked in blackness, by body's numb as I try to move Everything had changed somehow, I was not whole My senses, entirely void of, surroundings which left me confused A fragment, a glimpse of the past, the only proof that I had a life I found my self far too open, spread out in scattered parts I lost my head, in a literal sense Was I alive in a state of shock? Was this a game being played with my mind or had I just died? My morbid wake reveals dementia and twisted thoughts Where was I? Was this Hell? Infested, the sores won't heal. How many days have I been this way? Contorted, the shape I'm in, a spiral mass of flesh condemned Slowly regaining a sense of life, it comes to me with a knifing pain The wreckage is off in the distance, as I lay fifty yards away I feel the time has come for me to be afraid I'm bleeding, I'm dying, I will sleep forever more

Pissing Mass 03:46
4.
Reform the mess, remaking the piece of meat Reshaping the figure of flesh Cutting in deep, the face within, adhering limb to throat Glittering trinkets attached where it's vision should be Come one, come all to the show of shows the all new Reassembled Embryo It's loads of fun, controlled existence Reassembled Embryo

I cannot cope with the idiocy, the fact is we don't get along While you're trying to be something that you're not, I scoff at your existence Some feel that you shouldn't be here, and with them I tend to agree You're no more than a gurgled choke in the back of the throat of your favorite whore How I abhor thee, your incompetence, your weak mind Now you'll lick your festering sores, I'll leave your tongue to taste How does it feel to watch your hacked body quiver? To taste your kidney's bile rushing out, chewing every bite of horror Your whole life, never taking a stand Now you'll suffer as I cram your mouth with the sickly remains of the man you never were A breathing lump of sour flesh that speaks foul stenching words, regarding nothingness The afterlife contains no hope for you, you'll be dabbled with and strewn aside a mockery of your past life, shackled like a dog at the gates of abandonment Trashed, beaten, ripped from your previous hell My abhorrence for you is resolved knowing you're soon to be treated justly Stuck in the back with burning hooks, hanging from your skin Burn forever slowly, I'll come with your next meal How does it feel to be your own meal? I'm sure you can't remember now It's my turn to feast, and I'll shit you out a better man
6.
Betwixt now and then, where did we begin? Burden of beasts sower of pain, will we ever see the light again? So long to walk, if my brain could talk Servitude of multitudes, a thanks and a smile The forgotten sight of our inner selves, once prominent now diminished The stories grow, my t.v.'s slow, Ahriman Stole all my plans to be a better man, Ahriman The stories grow, my t.v.'s slow, Ahriman And I'm seeing a whole lot better, Ahriman Blinded by sight, my brain becomes trite, Ahriman And I'm seeing a whole lot better, Ahriman Two yellowed lumps seeing no further than the now we have to face To replenish the vision of eternity all must be forsaken all beings in communion Sight in a physical sense increases eternal insight So long to walk, if my brain could talk And I'm seeing a whole lot better
