Deadbeat

Allow me to cast the first stone
Living cancer made of skin and bone
Manipulator, sleight of hand
A parasite in the shape of a man
The pensive sadness in my Mother's eyes
Beyond the pale with the bullshit and lies
She just wanted a real love of her own
But broken people breed a broken home
Selfless caring kindness
(Is all she gave you)
Selfish spiteful heartache
(Is what you offered back)
Bitter burning hatred
(Is all I have for you)
Worthless low-life disgrace
Fucking deadbeat
Four years spent walking on glass
In all this time you still can't take off that mask
Put on the face you think we all want to see
Affected tears and feigning grief
The pensive sadness in my Mother's eyes
Still infixed when she lost hold of her life
A hardened heart can only beat for so long
Remember her when you're rotting alone
Selfless caring kindness
(Is all she gave you)
Selfish spiteful heartache
(Is what you offered back)
Bitter burning hatred
(Is all I have for you)
Worthless low-life disgrace
Fucking deadbeat
Silent leeching regret
(Feeds on me every day)
Erase, erode, decay
(Malignant memories)
Bitter burning hatred
(Is all I have for you)
Worthless low-life disgrace
Fucking deadbeat
No more pain
Unforgiven
Held in disdain
You fucking deadbeat
Deadbeat

Till Death

Pestilent wave
I've come to terms with all I've grown to hate
Nothing to gain
Self inflict to help forget the pain
I still feel everything
Entropic life makes no mistake
Rarely giving
Always take
Blackened heart, calloused hands
Hollow eyes, broken man
Years fade but nothing's changed
There is no end in suffering
Feed the fire
No loss in manifesting death
Comfort in misery
Is just a form of happiness
Push until I break
A crooked back still carries weight
And I don't give a fuck
Death don't even want me
Death don't even want me now
Blackened heart, calloused hands
Hollow eyes, broken man
Years fade but nothing's changed
There is no end in suffering
There is no end (in suffering)
There is no end in suffering

Gloom

Hopeless existence
All life is hell
A dying breed, a vacant shell
Born to fail
A box of wood and hammered nails
Watch the sun burn itself out
Buckle under crushing doubt
Let blood reflect a waning moon
World of pain, death, and gloom
Misery
Deprivation
Violence
Ruination
No survival
Feeding like rats
Devour every little scrap
Leaving only bones behind
Obliterated human-kind
Mass graves one step away
Misery
Deprivation
Violence
Ruination
Take a fucking shovel
Bury everyone that's left
Once the dirt is settled
Torch the fucking rest
World of pain
Blood-stained tomb
Face of death
Life of gloom

Wither

(Poison) coursing through your veins
(Growing) weaker every day
(What I'd give) to have carried your pain
(Instead), I watched you wither away
Lines deepen on your face
Skin pale, hair fading gray
Isolated in a foreign place
Corroding, slow decay
Night after fucking night
I beg my plea, I dance with Death
I'll make my peace so you can rest
But my heart died with your last breath
My heart died (with your last breath)
Time's up, cut down
(Victim to) Life's injustice
Fucked up, worn down
I don't think I'll (take this well)
Fed up, run down
(Nothing left) fuck this shit
Gave up, shut down
Shaking hands with (misery)
(Picking) at an open wound
(Some things) better left unhealed
(So much left) you'll never say
And even more I'll never feel
Time's up, cut down
(Victim to) Life's injustice
Fucked up, worn down
I don't think I'll (take this well)
Fed up, run down
(Nothing left) fuck this shit
Gave up, shut down
Shaking hands with (misery)
I don't think I'll take this well
(I don't think I'll take this well)
I don't think I'll take this well

Bleak

Where the fuck did this go wrong?
(Go wrong)
A decision I never wanted to make
Should have seen all along
That what I'd built would all collapse in vain
It's just a sick fucking game
(Fucking game)
A bleak reminder of discontent
But from a life full of pain
(Full of pain)
All the heartache starts to blend
I find it unnerving
Conditions concerning
Reach for the surface
But nothing is working
So it's back to the bitter cold
(Bitter cold)
Old habits will slowly take their hold
Is this some kind of joke?
How can something so dear no longer feel like home
I fear what can't be undone
(Undone)
Discordant surroundings
No warmth from the sun
(From the sun)
Misery found me
Misery
Misery found me
Just when I thought I found a shred of happiness
It's ripped from my fucking hands
I find it unnerving
Conditions concerning
Reach for the surface
But nothing is working
I find it unnerving
Conditions concerning
Reach for the surface
But nothing is working

Mistaken

Sever the tie
Trauma tends to set in fast
Something feels wrong
Lost along a dead end path
Held on too long
Nothing good will ever last
I'm fucking done
Time to pull the hammer back
Every step, breaking stride
Bite the bullet, swallow pride
What can I say? I'm a man of the times
Maintain a smile at the cost of my mind
Weighed down, burnt out
The taste of failure in my mouth
No way of life
A cold heart and colder eyes
At least I know it was my mistake
To think this could have meaning
And not be just a fucking waste
Every second is the same
It's a struggle every goddamn day
Test of patience, dulling pain
Forfeit the body, forget the name
Breathe deep, lie still
Lacking purpose, broken will
Exhale, let go
Finding solace dying slow
Dying slow
At least I know it was my mistake
To think this could have meaning
And not be just a fucking waste
I'm fucking done
Time to pull the hammer back

Hate/Spite
03:03

With hate in my eyes
I live in spite
Scum of the earth
Just another fucking snake in the leaves
I know I've seen worse
But you're the nail in the coffin for me
I'm not one to forget
I don't intend to forgive
No peace now that she's at rest
Cause I can't rest while you live
With hate in my eyes
I live in spite
Failed to prove your worth
Spent years watching as you hurt
Everyone I love
No apology could ever be enough
There aren't many promises that I can keep
I will promise you this, you'll die on your fucking knees
There will be blood
There will be blood
Time won't heal a fucking thing
It's too deep a cut
Your life is my only price
There will be blood
Fuck you
With hate in my eyes
I live in spite
