Counting Hallways to the Left

Hemorrhaging from every orifice Eating at your misery Choking on your own decrees Spread the disease Your words are vomit and reek of fear Tunnel vision! Close your eyes as you cast the first stone Bow your head, turn your back, and lock the doors When the lamps burn out, they will come for you

The light invades my eyes in stabs of fiendish bright and to what do I owe for this brilliant burning deception? Macabre maddening docility Day after painstaking day Control Hallucinate the biography of a fever In empty silence Scattered notions Sweet nausea If my mouth could marry a hurt like you Open swallow These bones hold a stillness longing for death in its purest form Longing for death Begging for an end A Fate farthest from salvation All I am is pieces Shuddering through this nightmare In a starched white shroud Soil the gown Lingering warmth Fall back in despair Would that it was me on my back Aching for hours on into weeks Wind sweeps over everyone Collapse Repeat Wind sweeps over everyone Broken Rebuilt All I am is pieces Shuddering through the nightmare Wandering avenues lit shocking white Lined with fluorescent lights If my mouth could marry a hurt like you Hollow cries of misery resonate down the halls Penetrating your will to live Their worthless pleas mean nothing And have no effect on me My indignation rises and I have no sympathy Our pain is the only thing I feel Only tragedy can touch us now Only disaster brings us to our knees I awake All I can see of the morning is the whiteness of the tomb And all I can taste is disease in the doorway of infirmary Aching for hours on into weeks Weind sweeps over everyone Collapse Repeat Wind sweeps over everyone Broken for the last time Only tragedy can touch us now And our friend disaster brings us to our knees The stagnant stench of the sick Permeates the room An angel in a mask hovers above the bed My eyes are sealed shut tonight For I can't fucking bear the sight As machines breathe the life into your veins

Tonight you better wear your funeral dress And I'll dress in burial drag 'Cause this one is to the end of an era Now fate is gnashing at our heels And soon we must succumb We'll be the scapegoats for generations past Born into this grave With heavy hearts we march hand in hand This is the bed that they have made for us This is the cross that they have hung us up on This our trophy What's left of divine corpse Arteries harden Stain crimson soil From which we began Oceans run black with the fuel of our wars Vultures descend from looming clouds overhead Let us drown in bile Antibiotic genetically mutated hormones intravenously ingested Infest and infect the same womb that bore you Burrow inside and sustain on the flesh Force feed the giver of life with the shit of our excess This is the bed that they have made for us This is the corpse that they have hung us up on This is our trophy What's left of the corpse Tear the silver shovel from clamped corroded teeth Gnawing on the fingers of the hand rthat feeds Wading through shallow vomit We widow the faithful Bathe in the blood of the land Hang every martyr and stone every prophet Fuck on the fat of the mother And we're all staying warm tonight Parade us through the city piling all your transgressions on our heads And our shoes made of stone will drag through the streets of shame With every step a lifetime passes With every inch a mile flashes Prodding on to the river to cleanse our filthy hearts Stumble down muddy banks and wash our sins away Life is not your resource to exploit Just sit and watch as this vulgar rape ensues Tradition dies slowly and all of this is lost on you Infest and infect the same womb that bore you Burrow inside and sustain on the flesh Force feed the giver of life with the shit of our excess So raise your glass We're all staying warm tonight We drink the wine and we piss in the well

As the mother coughs up blood the wide eyed children encircle Paint  the walls with the blood of innocence You  wear the execution mask Intent on the preservation of your worthless way of life Be fruitful Multiply  The  minds of our young are rotting in the sun Our lives decompose on the vine The  ghost of our culture will haunt this earth forever With heavy hearts we march hand in hand

Lost in the swarm deteriorating with the bset of them But every sweet breath Breathes the question Will you be too cold to hold my hand? Or will you just let go? I know when you say forever it's like broken glass on your velvet voice Tear a hole in forever and die in your arms So I invite you to walk the fire Burn your beautiful fingers Pierce this delicate skin Arms tied behind your back Torch this fucking town Burn every memory Burn it down And let the ashes dry your tears Redemption Ignite this wretched monument With unwavering stride We will leave it all behind in a beacon of flames If for one precious moment I could rest my tired eyes on you In this bellicose world my eyes are blurred and you're all I see Let the past be forgotten The years have worn our hearts callous Standing before you impoverished All I am For you I would seize the knife Lay down this white cloth and offer my veins Distill the life in me But still every dying gasp breathes the question Will you be too cold to hold my hand? Will you just let go? I know when you say forever it's like broken glass on your velvet voice A cold dead center The stale air infects our lungs And I find myself drawn to the flames of your last irresistible blaze Signs that as long as I'm breathing I'm yours Diseased by imperfection my hope

Everything is closing in with irrational certainty Awaiting any chance of reckless abandon With eager arms outstretched The stage is set Waiting and wanting When each future yesterday ends the same way All that surrounds Panoramic anxiety You can find me In the eye of the storm Fumble and falter on familiar empty words and I swear I've seen this one before Any solace is fleeting Ever seeking tethered hearts and storyboard dreams Forfeit God help us all The curtains are closing Our backs against the wall All meaning vanishes Draining away with every ounce of motivation Worthless and weak Relish in our own defeat This time has gone to waste and where are we? These velvet wings frame a scripted ending Lost alone on a doldrums sea So lie back down In an empty bed of praise Set your sails And drift away

Blackened halos hang heavy over shell-shocked eyes Love is a war my friend Open wounds Open the flood gates Open the gates A counterfeit contentment Countdown to the day Life is a war my friend With every step you take It takes you farther and further away It takes you further waway So let the truth bleed Let it be whispered from one thousand dying breaths Poisoned hope You speak of justice as you turn your head I refuse to burn with you To rot in all your decadent decay False martyrs for empty fights Defile sacred ground Blood runs thick through clenched fists Words of regret Vindictive cries Rotting heroes and wasted lives A battle cry lost on the horizon Betray Betrayed Hands clasped together Pulled up by the roots Bleeding from their throats There never was a tomorrow A battle cry lost on the horizon Betray Enotmbed in these forgotten catacombs Slowly dying with a frigid smile The malignancy of your hate Tempest tried and tortured Stumbling through the potter's ground With a grin Plagued by contempt From where I stand It's not hard to see that it's never been alright Lost in a dreamer's valor I refuse to burn with you I refuse to rot in all your decadent decay Now your wings have been tainted Take the plunge Sift through the refuse Feast on the fodder Feast on the spoils Ask yourself Do we jump or drown? Bleed or burn? Because in the end Even the greatest hero dies Sift through the refuse Feast on the fodder Feast on the spoils Powder-stained and battle-scarred I dare you not to forget Temptest tried and tortured Left to die from the inside fucking out

So tear out this bitter heart Baby let the blood drip from your hands This is all I have Days to come Wounds to heal Wounds to heal Like the blood red moon That illuminates Her deceiving eyes Nothing could be more beautiful than a promise broken under a winter's night sky Nothing could be more beautiful I pray for floods to wash these bridges away To pull me under and never let me go I drown in you Is it that easy to forget? Is it that easy to let go? So let the floods take me away So tear out this bitter heart Fallen for a promise With a taste of deceit And water filling my lungs I say goodbye As you turn and bid me farewell You run your fingers across all my fears And down my insecurites So let the floods take me away Let the frigid water fill the spot Where my heart once was Fallen for a promise

Justify the malevolence Nullify  betrayal A  soft moon rises igniting a world below Dear father rotting above Cast a shadow of doubt through me Taste  the fucking blood from my mouth The  vulgar display of charity you bestow Hear me mother shining below your sun-parched flesh offers me no warmth Defiled  by the lusting blades of every lonely suicide Every screaming heart that ceases to beat Your skin has grown porous yet we shed not a tear Always looking straight ahead An  empty vessel Our heads laid across the slaughtering block With no remorse Forever silenced through the pale In every darkened corner the sound of the axe will resonate Unforgiving Through every star-spangled eye the line becomes blurred With finger on the trigger Reliving the horror each night A victim Lost forever A burning effigy of who you once were Quench this ineffable thirst to be whole again Blind leading the blind Raped and castrated The blind leading the betrayed The pain of chasing phantom limbs Even through morphine eyes you can still see what's inside Now carry this addiction A monument to a heroic heart To be whole again All This time To be whole again Bleed me of this agony My infallible deception Amputee of the heart and by design Beware The shepherd has the teeth of a wolf Bastardized deliverance No pomp or pride bestowed Only broken lives waiting for the bell to toll
