Vanish

Once again it disappears
Just like it did before
Never to be seen or heard from
Anymore
If it comes staggering back
With some new demands
I’ll take its life with my own hands
Vanish
I fought it off once before
And I’ll watch it die again
Repeat the process
And repeat the end
As it’s clawing out of its grave
I’ll be standing on its head
I want to watch its light go out
But it seems to not stay dead
This co-dependent zombie
Needs someone new to use
I can’t keep killing you, can’t you
Vanish

Disgusting the Living

The only exorcism that I’ll ever need
Is to get you gone and away from me
But it’s starting to turn into a bad dream
And it feels like I’m never gonna find release
But with each passing day it grows more
This monstrous fiend is fiending for war
It gets easier to find what to say
To put your mind into eternal dismay
The general disgust is growing
Will I ever see the day
Where it comes to an end
Will I put the same shit
Back on the shelf
The overall inanity
Is hurting my head
History repeats itself
All the dumb questions and the dumb retorts
Are an unnecessary means of discourse
But you continue on with no remorse
So I have to cut the head off at the source
You always find yourself caught in a lie
And it’s a fucking miracle that you get by
If you used your brain at all you’d likely die
And you’re too stupid to know the reason why
The general disgust is growing
Will I ever see the day
Where it comes to an end
Will I put the same shit
Back on the shelf
The overall inanity
Is hurting my head
History repeats itself
If you allowed any rational thought
Maybe you’d find the life you sought
But it’s easier to live in mindlessness
Except you favor it in high excess
Will I ever see the day
Where it comes to an end
Will I put the same shit
Back on the shelf
The overall inanity
Is hurting my head
History repeats itself

Empty out your mind
Over the span of time
So much that you won’t even
Recognize yourself
Somewhere down the line
Your brain’s been reassigned
And all that’s left around
Is an empty shell
So prosthetic
Nothing left of your mind
So pathetic
This is what you call life
So prosthetic
There’s no room for forgiving
So pathetic
This is what you call living
Imagine what it’s like
To do this all your life
To bear the burden of
Not knowing who you are
So prosthetic
Nothing left of your mind
So pathetic
This is what you call life
So prosthetic
There’s no room for forgiving
So pathetic
This is what you call living
A persona has been built
To erase you of your guilt
But you can’t change your past
So fucking easily
Loss of self can kill
The longer it’s instilled
A fuse has been blown
In the secrecy

Insomnia hits you like a freight train
And the imagery is driving you insane
Can’t tell what’s real, can’t tell what’s real
And nothing seems to ever heal
Moonlight at the morgue
Because you’re bored to death
And the symptoms haven’t
Kicked in quite yet
The hallucinations
Are starting to show
And the world you loved
Is darker than you know
Blood on the table
Blood in the drain
Your reality
Is tripping out again
The visuals
Are far too strong
And nothing could be
More dead wrong
The mind is a terrible thing to waste
But it seems like it’s gone to another place
Where the vivid lie and the evil breathe
And there’s no connection to be seen
Moonlight at the morgue
Because you’re bored to death
And the symptoms haven’t
Kicked in quite yet
The hallucinations
Are starting to show
And the world you loved
Is darker than you know
Blood on the table
Blood in the drain
Your reality
Is tripping out again
The visuals
Are far too strong
And nothing could be
More dead wrong

Tsixe ton seod Worromot
Demons dreaming
Lifeless screaming
Endless fear
Never disappear
Decorate the grave with
The flowers of demise
Leave behind the energy
Of all that it despised
Wash away the blood
That is seeping through the walls
Clean up the scene
So no one was here at all
Vivid nightmare
Never repaired
Decorate the grave with
The flowers of demise
Leave behind the energy
Of all that it despised
Wash away the blood
That is seeping through the walls
Clean up the scene
So no one was here at all
Scared of sleeping
Evil creeping
Demons dreaming
Lifeless screaming

You live under the guise of a bleeding sun
And Dorian’s portrait pales in comparison
You’re the one born to deceive
Never meant to be believed
So take everything that is said
Different than it is perceived
Function with the mind of the insane
Glory is a state of disarray
Here lies the contradicted man
The evidence gathers where I stand
So take everything that is said
And fuck off when you can
None of this means anything
All it leads to is confusion
The insanity remains
Clarity is an illusion
Malignant bile that can’t be erased
Seen through cold dead eyes on a pale face
The perfectionist will crown their head
And bear the existential dread
As the nails that line the inside
Leave you for dead
None of this means anything
All it leads to is confusion
The insanity remains
Clarity is an illusion

Lizard Spit

One becomes two
Two become six
Six becomes twenty
With no limit to the fix
Line em up
And knock em down
Just like you’ve done before
Your mind begins to wander
And you can’t find the door
Send out your SOS
And wait on the reply
Once again too many
And your brain is fucking fried
Expectations are low again
In a war you’ll never win
Living in the same old shit
Victimized by lizard spit
Consciousness retained
In the wake of a reply
A documentation of
The hours of the night
Everyone must know
And you’re gonna tell them all
One after the other
And you’re never gonna fall
One becomes two
And two become six
Six becomes twenty
There’s no limit to the fix
Expectations are low again
In a war you’ll never win
Living in the same old shit
Victimized by lizard spit

The dream is dead
So capture the moment
To remind you
That it’s permanent
Nothing to savor
In a world gone wrong
Time doesn’t matter
When you’re already gone
There’s nothing to save
It all went away
This is insane
They wither away
Building the tower
A monument
To life devoured
Nothing to savor
In a world gone wrong
Time doesn’t matter
When you’re already gone
Let the demons free
To do their worst
Nothing matters
It always hurts
They sit there and ponder
The mystery of life
But all that’s left to do
Is watch this city die
And at the end
All the progress
Just faded out
You’re left with excess
Nothing to savor
In a world gone wrong
Time doesn’t matter
When you’re already gone
Let the demons free
To do their worst
Nothing matters
It always hurts
They sit there and ponder
The mystery of life
But all that’s left to do
Is watch this city die

Another lost soul
Sentenced to the eighth
The newest of the skeletons
Realize their fate
Minutes by ticket
Four years alone
Yet not all make it
Not all find home
The sky is empty
The morgue is full
On your way to the ninth
Evil hides away
There’s some that live to see the failure
Every passing day
It all comes to an end
With the sprout that stabs the bone
Desecrated dead defaced
And never finding home
The sky is empty
The morgue is full
Another one that missed the mark
Sentenced to an early dark
The garden grows where you lie
Say goodbye to your afterlife

My Blank Sky

In the midst of all unrest
I’ll be far beyond reach
Some live to antagonize
But don’t practice what they preach
Watch me hover
You’ll find me
Somewhere in my blank sky
You’ll find me
Somewhere in my blank sky
Watch as it disintegrates
It’s an art form to me
I’m waiting on the aftermath
It’s way more fun to see
Watch me hover
You’ll find me
Somewhere in my blank sky
You’ll find me
Somewhere in my blank sky
The results never disappoint
They always aim to please
I’ve grown fond of the imagery
It’s a beautiful disease
Watch me hover
You’ll find me
Somewhere in my blank sky
You’ll find me
Somewhere in my blank sky

Altered Paradox Cleveland, Ohio
An abandoned waste barrel of screechy whispered commentary and yowled “what the fuck-isms.”
Heavy and trippy. It all gets weird.
