Spiritual Penury
I’m lurking in shadows, I’m lingering Observing, strengthening Heavily forged and fortified by the flames Empathy growing cold, the mind withers I’m lurking in shadows, I’m waiting to Inflict my suffering Tormenting a weakened mind Relishing the death of all your kind I’m in your head, there's no escaping me Your pain of mind is what created me I’m in your head, there’s no escaping me Your fear of life’s what’s shaping me I am your fear of death Your unrelenting grief And in your final throes The laughing that you hear is me Sentience is murderous In latter stages of mental drought Draw up your weapon to let me out Depressive din will do you in Self taught psychopathology Squeeze the trigger see splattered cranial debris I’m dripping from your skull Darkness consuming all Self afflicted - Self inflicted - Punishment

Mankind was bred to die Impetuously ending life - Torn away Imbued with crushing grief Paralyzed in disbelief - Torn Away By the loss of a loved one for no reason Mourning dispossession of a life torn away End of season Cataclysm For no reason Life destruction Rivers of blood flow from your eyes Decades of pain built up inside You cry Grasp the fact, we live to die - Torn away There is no anticipation for the agony To prepare you for a life of inevitable suffering

In the expanse of the cosmos A worthless pile of flesh Explorer in the unknown Of the universe enmeshed Traveling through darkness Trapped in my mind Transversing æons Ascend the scrolls of endless time Floating frozen body A fate worse than death Stuck in a phase between Primordium and breath Mind racing, heart fixed Unconscious descent Floating in a void There is no fucking end All I've ever seen flash right before my eyes Everyone I’ve wronged comes back to watch me die Relive an eternity of regrets deified Relive eternity of regrets deified Torturous display of acts I can not decry My consciousness descends Without end space time extends Frozen bones, seeds are sown A horror show, my sentence bestowed All I've ever seen flash right before my eyes Everyone I've wronged comes back to watch me die All I’ve ever hurt torment me slowly while I Relive an eternity of regrets deified Relive eternity of regrets deified
