Curse
01:41
|

|
I will set myself ablaze, just to forget everything
Life's a fucking terrible thing
Stuck in this hell on my own
Where the sun is forever asleep
And flowers never grow
Yet I don't mourn
I am one with nothingness
This curse will never fade away

Wounds

Watch as banished saviours
force their hands around my throat
angels turned demons
with wings sharp as knives
cutting through every single thread
that held faith from tragedy
hope means nothing anymore
And I hear them starve
for the blood that I bleed
feel the comfort
in the soft songs they sing
no one sees through
nothing can save me
Nothing to no one at all
stain the canvas of life
with the blood that I shall bleed
Wounds from shards of tragedy
Cauterize the severed limbs
and force your nails into my damaged skin
as I look straight at a familiar face
that slowly morphs into a stranger
listen closely to my fading heartbeat
and speak your selfish reasoning
recollection of memories
that burns inside a plagued mind
the future seems so fucking bleak
Please, build me a casket that I can lay within
Or chain my legs to cinderblocks
and let me sink down to the seabed
where I shall rest
whilst you watch me from above
I dare not speak the names
that plague me in the night
burn away all memories,
don't fucking grieve
douze me in gasoline
light the match, set me free

Talebearer

Hear me as I spew blood
Daggers still stuck in my spine
Was it worth it? Wasted time
Dark clouds piling up in my mind
Talebearer
Now I see through you
Nothing but shallow intentions
Talebearer
Hoarding dirt
No empathy, just a selfish fucking curse
Thoughts like winter
Notes left in the snow
Feel the cold wrap its arms around
As it numbs you
Hours fly by
Afraid of the hurt
I try to outrun it
But I know feeling nothing is worse
Fuck
Talebearer
I see through you
And all your empty fucking words
Talebearer
I got nothing for you
You already took everything I thought I knew
And now I feel nothing

巫女 (Miko)

(Lyrics based on the anime "Higurashi no naku koro ni")
Paranoia living under the flesh
Trust no one, they won't see
Fate is doomed to repeat itself
We're cursed
We are doomed to repeat ourselves
We're fucking cursed
Priestess, I am reborn
What are these failures I barely recall?
Nothing more than fragments in my mind
Will this always go on?
Can't tell if this a dream or another reality
How many times do you have to try
For the outcome you want for your life?
Priestess of the shrine
Will I be the one taken away?
Doomed to repeat that day once again
Yet I will not know
Priestess
Will I find you by the shrine
On that day you fear you'll die

Memories
03:52
|

|
Helpless
I slowly decay
Lost inside this vacant space
Hopeless
I tear open every wound
Just to feel alive again
Months have passed
I still feel all the same
Those pictures are burnt inside of my head
I cannot see anything but them
When I close my eyes
Stuck inside my head
All I want is to replace everything
And burn all memories
In dreams I hear voices
From the moments I never forget
So vividly, I question if it was a dream
I don't care to exist
Memories that I still hold on to
Tracing my steps, but I can never go back
(No, I can never get it back)
Precious times that still hold a place in my heart
But now I just want it all out of my head
Life's a fucking terrible thing
