Imperfect

Nothing can be immaculate
Limit incarnate creation
Diverge from the consummate
Sit with your own reflection
Smash it
Now there's seven desperate shards
Begging for love
Yearning to be scarred
Fuck it, stomp it
Grind it to a dust
Excise desire
Radiance through rust
We're all battered
Damaged, vacant
Strive forward
Never complacent
Paragons are myth
So is currency
Remove the pith
Life can be heavenly
Forgive myself for mistakes creators made
Receive what you're blessed with
Or choose to be enslaved (these thoughts)
Choked
On shit they spew
False empowerment
Don't imbue
Platitudes
Grace is mirrored
Torn in two
Grace is mirrored
Torn in two

It's not my nature
I'm Samaritan
Nomenclature
I would never engage in this savagery
Are these arms my own
I never thought I'd accomplish
Sins overgrown
These actions, repulsive
Watch as I desecrate
Lay waste to the life I lived
Why do I participate
Please forgive me for my sins
Through darkness of future past
The magician longs to see
One chants out between two worlds
Fire walk with me
I lost it all

Deafening

Scissors snip through twine
I pull the spool from my stomach
I wretch, I writhe
Vomit a thread, let the bile dry
Accept the lies we write
Your face contorts unveiled in the daylight
I was drenched, a fool
I'm not good enough for you
Accept this
Am I good enough for you
(Am I)
You're truly alone
I swallowed
It always feels like time's running short
Am I good enough for you
You're truly alone
Am I good enough for you
You're a thinly-veiled fake
I swallowed the thread
Swallowed the thread
Opened for you
Opened for
Fuck
It always feels like time's at an end
There's no way to numb the pain
But with the tip of a pen
And when I stare into the night
The shadows are beckoning
The static screams in my ears
This space is deafening
This space is deafening

March Toward Perfection

Amber reach
Time creeps slower
Droplets freeze over
Pools seize below her
Not enough to give
Too scared of seasons
Too mortified to live
Decrepit
She sees the depths of
Frailty and aging
Final signs of changing
Light leaks
Behind paper lids
Soul dissipates
From orbs so dim
Because when her body rots away
The flesh decays, her face entombed by spades
Perhaps she arises as a specter
Or maybe only stays as memories hereafter
But one likes to think
She reaches up toward the planes stretched above
Excised from flesh thrust to external love
Pardons herself of her iniquities
Observes the obsolescence beneath
March toward perfection
Of soul and mind
March toward perfection
Leave flesh behind
March toward perfection
Of soul and mind
March toward perfection
Leave flesh behind
March toward perfection
March toward perfection

To be loved is worse than isolation
To crucify an innocent deserves immolation
Accept this
You're truly alone
My devotion is being forced to atone
(For all my sins)
There's no other who can fix you
Entwining of spirits breaks you
I need to suffer for truth
I'd rather crumble than fake it
(All my sins)
To be loved is worse than isolation
To crucify an innocent deserves immolation
A marriage
Of desperation
To die alone
Is subjugation
Accept this
You're truly alone
My devotion is being forced to atone
(For all my sins)
There's no other who can fix you
Entwining of spirits breaks you
I need to suffer for truth
I'd rather crumble than fake it
(All my sins)

Sunken eyes, I'm fucking retching
You're reaching, clutching
Disgusting and aggressive
I find you so obsessive
Take a step back
Make that five or ten
I've had my eyes sealed shut
By stronger looking men
Sunken eyes, stop fucking watching
You're reaching, clutching
Disgusting and abusive
I find you fucking useless
It's over when I say it stops
It's ceases when I peel it off
It's over when I say it stops
It's ceases when I peel it off
It's over when I say it stops
It's ceases when I peel it off
It's over when I say it stops
It's ceases when I peel it off
Sunken eyes, I'm fucking retching
You're reaching, clutching
Disgusting and aggressive
I find you so obsessive
Take a step back
Make that five or ten
I've had my eyes sealed shut
By stronger looking men
Sunken eyes, stop fucking watching
You're reaching, clutching
Disgusting and abusive
I find you fucking useless
Never again
I won't be fodder for desire
My body
Never again
I won't be fodder for desire
My body
I can't believe
You still think I won't set you on fire
I'm gasoline

Eulogy

I laid beside you at unblessed hours
These moments of silence hold the quietest power
The glow of companions can't be dulled by gloom
In times of dejection keep my heart set on you
Can you feel it dear?
Can you sense my fear?
Can you feel it dear?
Can you sense my fear?
I want nothing else
Bright summer, sheltered house
I want nothing else
Comfort in winter, dormant doubt
I wonder sometimes if we'd never intertwined
If I would have met demise sooner than I'd had in mind
Would you be better off or less
Would I cause less duress
But to love you is selfish
I apologize for my defects
I'm scared, I'm shaking
What if it's taken
We're here, we're breathing
I still feel death creeping
I'll pass, don't grieve me
Dispatch my eulogy
My ache supersede
The divine relief
I'm scared, I'm shaking
What if it's taken
We're here, we're breathing
I still feel death creeping
I'll pass, don't grieve me
Dispatch my eulogy
My ache supersede
The divine relief
