When you drifted, you walked away. You walked away from better times...Once stood a golden friendship. You're one I held so high. Now smashed and broke to pieces. Should I apologize? You've been handed all you've wanted. Sugar coated lies. Now here we stand. We stand face to face. I extend my hand just to slap you into place 'cause you're one I called my brother. Did that mean anything? To try, a frequent blunder, so you've been swept away. We tried to make the ends meet. Polar force does sway. The death of a friend. These wasted years. I cry out your name. My mortal enemy. All those tears that I have cried mixed with feelings shoved aside, but I still love you just enough to make you bleed for all the shit you've said to me, yet I feel nothing. As I beat into your face a twisted form of last embrace. Holding onto shards of friendship, broken dreams, built up feeling....most obscene. I will watch you burn. I will watch you fall into a shallow grave. As you choke, I laugh. The death...of a friend. These wasted tears. I cry out your name. My mortal enemy.

The Cleansing

Burn to the ground. You don't have control of me, though you still haunt my dreams. Brand me, marks of shame, they thrive. Still you can't have my pride. Pain, thoughts that cloud my mind. Sleep, can't heal the wounds your blades have left. Floating through life, just waiting for change. Believing your lies is what made me this way. You are...Pain that clouds my mind. Opposing forces tempt me, to give in, subside. All throughout this short existence, I've just sat by, waiting for the chance to...To stand up. To fight. I will not fail. Floating through life, just waiting for change. Believing your lies is what made me this way. In the end the ashes wash away. Reconstruction of, my state of mind. To cleanse this day...and start anew.

Separated, the mind from the soul in the eyes of humanity. I have become a being made of sin. You have seen the way I've transformed. These wings I've grown cast the light away. We have now set forth to bend the will of pure might into oblivion. These words I speak hold true. Praying for life to give me a new twisted form of being. Syncopated with the rippling glass reflection, I, the anti-scorn. Fighting against all that you stand for so tall and proud. Ripping at the seams of a mental structure. Tear it down. Can you see the war within me, or can you feel the envy? My soul shifts throughout, my body burns, I writhe. Rise. rise above me. In the sights of my salvation, a symbol bleeds. Rise Up. Shift the sin. Rise up. In the mind, the heart, and the soul of the young man, changed within. Burns the fear, the hate, the anguish. Slowly tearing at the sins. Rise up. We fight to win. Rise up. In the eyes, the heart, and the soul of the old man lying dead. Fades the fear, the hate, the anguish. The battle won, torn through the sin. This war we wage, is just a struggle within, to break the shell of our fate. Burning fear, hate and anguish slowly tearing sin. In the mind, the heart, and the soul of the...This war we wage, is just a struggle within, to break the shell of our fate. I have grown the will to fight.

Confine yourself to where you are. Reach around inside. Quietly searching this new, this new found place. You keep the temperature right. Breathe the water, I need to survive. One might ask me, "How does it feel, to live where I've been born, and to sleep where I'll die?" A misconception, there is no hate. Tranquil times deliver, deliver our fate. Swimming free, they stand and share, watching every step, every breath that I take. Oh, please end this...This life of misery. Perfectly content, grown within cement. Confinement hell, not here by choice. Plant life is here, surrounding us, the water spawns the anger. Hate flows like music through the ears of the deaf. Falling short of rising above this dead plane. I'll be free when I fade away. Life, is hollow, it's empty, I'll be free when I fade away. Our time, it's so short, we're destined to be free when we fade away. Here, I plead you, I beg for God to take this life from me. Sit for a while, observe the sights, pennies from the sky, tarnish the light. A willingness to overcome, before me stands the opposition. I can't seem to break free, but I won't give up this night. Koi.

Facing the world no story is told, a bold faced lie. Cower before this young boy's eye. Destroyed the mind, thinned out the whole, forced upon. Endless sea of horror. Hollow...Hollow...Birth, fates perfect plan. Why does it always find a way? Pain, was bestowed upon this boy. Unbearable. Growth, steel outside the skin, this shell, never bending. Death, finally found its way. Crept slowly, ended all the rage. Berating him with hate, he explodes with countless pounds of pain. Blacking out, the anger grows. Falling into a deep, dark form of pain. With each of these violent moments, he lost a piece of himself. Slipped into a peaceful slumber, nightmares far away. The boy, he couldn't smile...The boy, he couldn't smile. Still they pressed on. One last misery...he took it all to his grave. Birth, fates perfect plan. Why does it always find a way? Pain, was bestowed upon this boy. Unbearable. Growth, steel outside the skin, this shell, never bending. Death, finally found its way. Crept slowly, ended all the rage. Facing the world. No story is told. a bold faced lie. Cower before this young boy's eye. Endless sea of horror. Holllow...Hollow...Rage.

Founded on greed, a rusted system. The foundation bleeds. Mind astray. Driving force, relieve me, from this world, from this strict contradiction. Blinded stare that sees through, sees through you. Sees through you for all you're worth. An empty seed, rotted through. A time once won, to fall divine. Driving force relieve me, from this world, from this strict contradiction. Blinded stare that sees through, sees through you. In has the strength to pull you down. I cannot feel. I cannot whimper. I cannot breathe. But I can taste the pungent sting of blood as it fills up my lungs. Drowning away life with its own fruitions. Slowly growing numb, empty. Instant fester. Praying for the end...Endless. Endless. Choking on my own coagulations, they slowly form a scab...Suffocation. Shell of what was man. Death has become me. Shell of what was man. Death has won. Pain. Hate. Torn limb from limb. Skinned alive. Drawn and quartered. I survive to fee the flames, succumb to fear, live through, suffer.
