Culling

Dark entity
Run from – run from me
From your haunting oppression, I am now free
From your hellish visions, I am now free
Free
And I see
Through your fucking mask
And your whispers of hopelessness
Trying to frighten me off my path
Never
You hold
Nothing for me
You can go stumble off into dust
Without me
Without me
Without me you shadow nothing
Caught in my light you are nothing
You won’t have my strength
You won’t have my light
I’ve seen enough of your lies
Get out of my life
Now
Run from – run from me
From your haunting oppression, I am now free
From your hellish visions, I am now free
Free
And I see
Through your bloody mask
And your whispers of hopelessness
Trying to frighten me off my path
Never

Scourge
02:49
|
|||
Glaring eyes, stuttering heart
In stale uncaring dreams no future shall be seen
You’ve suffered long
Should I even look for what does not want to be found?
Fucking answer me
Beneath a malignant wall you think you’ve seen it all
Around your thoughts in stone a forest has grown
For all is in flux and the elements pound
Coughing up rust, mentally bound
To self destruction
Another fucking waste of flesh
Where the leaches swell upon your rot of hell
Upon your life of death
“Admit that the waters around you have grown
and except it that soon you’ll be drenched to the bone”
With the rest of the lost dogs that snap and whine
Who won’t change their ways in these changing times
Scourge of youth, master of ruin
Why do you curse yourself, hell ensuing
Why do I even care, you know what you’re doing
Don’t you.
Holding down, our daughters and our sons
Cutting out, cutting out their tongues
You know what you’re doing
Holding down, our daughters and our sons
Cutting out, cutting out their fucking tongues
You know, you know
Don’t you.

Nothing Left
01:48
|
|||
The shadows fall to lay on me
To hide my eyes and stifle me
A shallow warmth embracing my insecurities
And my fear of life
To place me in the machinery
In the hopelessness, in the mockery
Of all that I could ever hope to be
Beyond all this insanity
The sun it sinks
Behind the trees
I’m tired of all the inhumanities
That crawl out of this human race
Burn my eyes and fill me with hate
Until I fall with exhaustion
Of my sympathies and my compassion
There’s welling silence in my soul
Where I may hide but I’ll never fold
I’ll fucking live for my fucking self
I’ve nothing left to give and people like their hell
I don’t need this violence trying to take my will
I don’t need this hate trying to consume and kill me
Kill me.
I’ve come full circle
And I’ve nothing left to give
People don’t care
People don’t care to learn
The sun it sinks
Behind the trees
I’m tired of all the inhumanities
That crawl out of this human race
Blind my eyes and fill me with hate
Until I fall with exhaustion
Of my sympathies and my compassion
There’s welling silence in my soul
Where I may hide but I’ll never fold

Deceit
01:52
|
|||
In selflessness deceit
I’d fallen into you and your disease of the soul
You wrapped my thoughts in despair
Hiding me from what I know
Your subtleties took hold, began my final fall
Once it was hard to let you go
But not this time, not at all.
I put my life all at stake
When I took my eyes off of you
You started to eat my soul ever so slowly
Threatening the truth I hold every time I wasn’t me
You raped my soul and my sanity
So weak to you then
Spinning in self deceit
Slow death, insecurities, paranoia
World turned black, faked enjoyment
All thoughts tied into finding numbness
Paralyzed, worthless, edge of lifeless
A hidden malevolence in living for nothing
Constant boredom, years of vanishing
Novelty’s long gone
Heart soured in defeat
But the doors have no locks in the prison of self deceit
Deceit deceit deceit (etc.)

Bound in Ashes
01:11
|

Ashes are ashes, dust is dust
Ashes are ashes, dust is dust
If I really wanted to look I’d find endless regret
It would reach through my life like the burning fingers of death
But there’s no future there, no sky above those trees
In the reopening of faded scars and falling to bleed
Sometimes it creeps up to you in the autumns of your life
It’s like you don’t even notice you’ve been stabbing yourself with a knife
But it’s like any other leach that comes in from the cold
With its lying eyes fixed on the warmth of your soul
You can burn it clean from you
If you show respect for you
No longer let it in
The wounds will finally mend
The sadness subsides, the clouds lift from your eyes
I’ve been there myself; it’s like escaping from hell
You can finally balance on your feet
And any humiliating sympathy
Will turn into respect for you
Like a beam of light from the face of truth
Face the truth
Not all bound in ashes
We have eternal youth

Common Ground
01:22
|
|||
We took each other’s hand and stood above the land
Where a fiery sky reflects the soul of man
Where the whole human race is like a beach of sand
Where every grain is different but at a distance looks bland
And we’re like everyone else with our life and death
With our hopes and fears, with what we do and don’t do best
But if we look beyond that, beyond the races and classes
No two are alike in all the masses
From this I see a fear grow across the land
Deep down we all know there is no general command
The only real control is in how we conduct ourselves
Some go by what they know, some by what others tell
And we can’t really know unless we query them
Learn where their foundation stems
All the encasing labels don’t mean a fucking thing
They’re just false security
We’ve gotta hear the souls sing

You Fucked Yourself
01:52
|
|||
No one means a fucking thing to you
Heartless leach, you put your own head in the noose
You can’t hide from this truth
So many have hurt because of your lies
You’ve had every chance to fucking realize
We’ve no sympathy left, you may as well die
Still you wonder why your life’s a hell
You sold your own soul and you were too fucking high to tell
Do you hurt inside? Oh fucking well
Some gave all they could give and you stole what was left
Any glimmer of peace for you is far beyond death
Death
Pathetic waste of flesh
No chance of being laid to rest
The perfect picture of self screwed
Now I know how not to end up a fool
You’re dead, living dead
You fucked yourself to death
Not even worth what it took to write this song
I’m just impressed you’ve kept on living this long
Too long, too long
Maybe finding this out will wake somebody up
Probably not you, you’re pathetically fucked
But someone, maybe someone

Safe in a Box
00:36
|
|||
Lost inside a maze of walls you’ve kept inside your head
Hiding amid the flock, eating just what you’re fed
Safe in your little box
Staring through a pinhole with a scale and a brand
Attacking anything that you don’t understand
Safe in your little box
Your whole life to spare
Safe in your little box
Your whole life to spare
Bored to death, crushed beneath your boundaries
Shocked by any show of individuality
You don’t know, you don’t care
Safe in your little box
Your whole life to spare
