The feeding frenzy of my starving soul, gnawing voraciously at the bones, the exo-skeletal patchwork protecting my own reflection within
The twin-and-same engaged in the mirrored act of chewing away at the shell of my attacking self. The paradox unseen Trecherous this deceit to make no choice matter To have and yet lose yourself until finally all reasons why are forgotten To live through ones own shadow, mute and blinded - is to really see Eclipse the golden mirror and the reflection is set free |

Still, in machine-like strife you gain another mile The temporary elusive goal. To reach the solace to feed once more Upon the synthetic reaper of loss. No matter the outcome the cost Cold and stinging needs tearing through the halls Of your defiled, flesh made temple with it's closing walls Still you claim the worshipers pose and you bow, you kneel Once superior now a docile pet at chaos feet Pulling the leash as it trails the scent to where all the hurt recedes Your past a blurry patch in mind. Your future once: now thin dreams filed Towards the lights of need you strive, To drink into your vein the shine. Beaten to the unforgiving ground. Lashed into submission, By the inner starving demon. By it's unrelenting hand Still you claim the worshipers pose and you bow. You kneel to the syringe Answering only to the authorities of sedation. Their calls the only ones heeded A worn out soldier touched by their contagion. A battered drone at their feet You're the only one betrayed. An outcast set afire by your inner war Your burning self so far astray. A combustion fanned from within your core. |

A stale organic cage.
Incarceration. I'm in the stranger: Me. The user of my face; Beneath it's guise I rot. A paradox in terms. Interconnected, fused. My words are it's thoughts. I now share myself with my reflection. Straining to divide our twined formation. Duality within singularity. Plug me in, re-connect me to myself. Plug me in, re-connect me to my soul. Coalescence done. The merging complete. The sentence carried out. The confluence, Our interwound flows; Surges not to be fused. In this mental cage we absorb ourselves. The only certainty is my suffering. My mind in constant pleas for an end to this concatenation. A struggle all in vain, We're both the same. Plug me in, re-connect me to myself. Plug me in, re-connect me to my soul. Gone is all my hope, All my vain illusions. Deceived, I dwell in me, In the core of my agony. I fade in this duress, I'm weakening. The one who claimed my front is now the claimant of my soul. Into the core of self, The neuro-axis, I fade. Within the fading core of self, I am..... Gone-bound, lost, away, phased out, non-existing. |

I'm a carnal, organic anagram. human flesh instead of written letters.
I rearrange my pathetic tissue. I incise. I replace. I'm reformed. I eradicate the fake pre-present me. Elevate me to a higher human form. The characters i am, made into a word complete, then i'll be the new norm. Self inflicted fractures; I replace my bones with bars. Aluminum bleeding oxide; the drug of gods into my pounding veins. My receiving eyes exchanged with fuses; blindness induced to prevent destruction. Ceramic blades implanted past my ribs to save me from the dues of inhalation. I tear my worldly useless skin. Staples to pin it over my ears. Non-receptive of ungodly sounds - I disable the audio-generators of fear. Hexagonal bolts to fill my mouth, sharpened to deplete the creator of all violence; Without speech there will be no deceit Baptized in vitriolic acid, a final touch, a smoothing of features. Completion of the greatest art; to cast the godly creatures. Humans, once astray; made divine, stripped of congenital flaws. We're incandescent revelations in a world of darkened forms. Disciples! Come join with me to save a failed humanity. Follow the god of cyanide into the new eternity. Behold! A sacrificial race a cleansing worshipping of pain. The new millenium christ here to redeem all from lies. |

A sustained static gaze, oblivious to surroundings.
Empty, strained, unmoving eyes; Introverted, paralyzed A burning mass of emotions denied, enraged by years of silencing. An accumulation of feelings suppressed, returning to devour. Bright rays of chaos, generated by subconsciousness. A retribution by own thoughts; twisting the mind into fits Fuelled with pains unveiled. Burning with contamination. Set afire by disowned self-lies; they penetrate the eyes. I... Am I the next? Self inflicted overload. Thoughts returning to think me away. I... Will I be reprieved, or am I just awaiting the sentence of my exquisite, internal machinery of torture The turmoil arises, from the innermost core of denial. Shining streams of putrefaction, reflugent with disease - In outward motion to redress the balance by retaliation. A terminal journey to relieve cognition of Ability Minds lit like candles, by rejected senses and emotions. Tearing flames, born in mind; Creations of self deception. Strained, not to lose the grip - Humans locked in the new disease. A light by eyes unseen has come to burn us clean. (Chorus:) I... Am I the next?....... I sense; The facilities of the bodily; Discorporated by the light All my pleas; denied By my psychological enemy The inner light unseen I... I'm deceived by my Receiving eyes; - susceptible to the endless killing-sights Consciousness fails the grip. Substance now decreasing Amorphous. Without shape - I'm vanishing; dematerialized My own corrosive thoughts - Probes armed with acid tools Disintegrated, I'm bleached out of reality Scattered bits internally; My last transparent remains; Floating objects inanimate; Spinning into my soul Defeated by my contents. Tables turned, I'm a thought repressed I'm swallowed into myself. Destination; nothingness I... Am I the next? Self inflicted overload Thoughts returning to think me away I... Will I be reprieved Or am I just awaiting the sentence of my exquisite, internal machinery of torture I... I've been the next. My self inflicted overload, My neglected thoughts have thought me undone. I... I was never reprieved Now I know the sentence of me exquisite, internal machinery of torture |

Assembled from dead incompatible pieces; Livid fragments regenerated.
Decomposing bits of organic matter, brought to life, revived. A fluid, limbless, sickening shape, a faltering semi-floating cluster. Its sole purpose of creation; To burst the imagination blood surge. Defying the mould of human flesh. Smashing the wall of beliefs. A sight to bring insanity to all dimensional reality. Carved from thoughts unthought into a graphic, visible delusion of life. A twisted display of dehumanized features, by cells reflected, refracted. A frantic dancing of particles, in pathetic attempt at rendering flesh; Swirling to project the illusion of shape, form, dimension and mass. (Eyes not made for watching. Thousand watt obsidian bulbs; Reflective, obversed. The only view is the barren self) A walking translucent entity. Void, suspended. Inviolate by rules, all standards of existence. An electrified vapor-cloud. A skein of bone and tissue. An atrocity, a liquid form unshaped to the organic norm. A mind not filled with thoughts, but a random flickering static. A soulless creature un-alive; I'm the un-human elastic. |

Your words such unessential lies
Refract my barred-up eyes You all tell me I'm confined In my "shell of hallucinations" So try and make me realize Break my secure enclosure Just try and I know you'll make me laugh To hell with your damn comprehension You belabor me for past and present mishaps As if I had the might of alteration You've had your trips into my brain; I know you begrudge Now let me leave for my amenity So you see, you white-coated freak I don't need your allegations Instead, join me to sanity's end With my sweet needle of salvation Increasing needs Of my only friend The one I trust He runs in my veins Hides me away Under his soothing crust Madness reigns You're no longer in charge of my alluring illusions That takes me wherever i want, my Malnutriated malice Rises strong and makes me the ruler of Earth, wind and fire As reality fades, I'm a king on clouds The self-pity no longer runs in my veins; I'm a Malevolent revelation; please let me stay Give me more Left out, dragged down into emptiness Drowning in floods of misunderstanding Why do you all look aside? You're ripping my dignity away Inside, identity is leaking out Realization is catching up on me My needs bashes false immortality Into my affected being... Chaos Cravings of delight Slowly eats my soul Trapped within myself Defraying my own lies Bewalling my demise Deep penury... Internally I feel marred by errors, can't you see? My desires are calling for me The sovereign of abnegations Swings his feelers for a new relation Come, mesmerize my oppressive mind Tear apart these vehement cravings Give me something to live for, bring me back From my purgatory of obsessions Increasing needs Of my only friend The one I trust He runs in my veins Hides me away Under his soothing crust |

A stale organic cage.
Incarceration. I'm in the stranger: Me. The user of my face; Beneath it's guise I rot. A paradox in terms. Interconnected, fused. My words are it's thoughts. I now share myself with my reflection. Straining to divide our twined formation. Duality within singularity. Plug me in, re-connect me to myself. Plug me in, re-connect me to my soul. Coalescence done. The merging complete. The sentence carried out. The confluence, Our interwound flows; Surges not to be fused. In this mental cage we absorb ourselves. The only certainty is my suffering. My mind in constant pleas for an end to this concatenation. A struggle all in vain, We're both the same. Plug me in, re-connect me to myself. Plug me in, re-connect me to my soul. Gone is all my hope, All my vain illusions. Deceived, I dwell in me, In the core of my agony. I fade in this duress, I'm weakening. The one who claimed my front is now the claimant of my soul. Into the core of self, The neuro-axis, I fade. Within the fading core of self, I am..... Gone-bound, lost, away, phased out, non-existing. |

A sustained static gaze, oblivious to surroundings.
Empty, strained, unmoving eyes; Introverted, paralyzed A burning mass of emotions denied, enraged by years of silencing. An accumulation of feelings suppressed, returning to devour. Bright rays of chaos, generated by subconsciousness. A retribution by own thoughts; twisting the mind into fits Fuelled with pains unveiled. Burning with contamination. Set afire by disowned self-lies; they penetrate the eyes. I... Am I the next? Self inflicted overload. Thoughts returning to think me away. I... Will I be reprieved, or am I just awaiting the sentence of my exquisite, internal machinery of torture The turmoil arises, from the innermost core of denial. Shining streams of putrefaction, reflugent with disease - In outward motion to redress the balance by retaliation. A terminal journey to relieve cognition of Ability Minds lit like candles, by rejected senses and emotions. Tearing flames, born in mind; Creations of self deception. Strained, not to lose the grip - Humans locked in the new disease. A light by eyes unseen has come to burn us clean. (Chorus:) I... Am I the next?....... I sense; The facilities of the bodily; Discorporated by the light All my pleas; denied By my psychological enemy The inner light unseen I... I'm deceived by my Receiving eyes; - susceptible to the endless killing-sights Consciousness fails the grip. Substance now decreasing Amorphous. Without shape - I'm vanishing; dematerialized My own corrosive thoughts - Probes armed with acid tools Disintegrated, I'm bleached out of reality Scattered bits internally; My last transparent remains; Floating objects inanimate; Spinning into my soul Defeated by my contents. Tables turned, I'm a thought repressed I'm swallowed into myself. Destination; nothingness I... Am I the next? Self inflicted overload Thoughts returning to think me away I... Will I be reprieved Or am I just awaiting the sentence of my exquisite, internal machinery of torture I... I've been the next. My self inflicted overload, My neglected thoughts have thought me undone. I... I was never reprieved Now I know the sentence of me exquisite, internal machinery of torture |

Assembled from dead incompatible pieces; Livid fragments regenerated.
Decomposing bits of organic matter, brought to life, revived. A fluid, limbless, sickening shape, a faltering semi-floating cluster. Its sole purpose of creation; To burst the imagination blood surge. Defying the mould of human flesh. Smashing the wall of beliefs. A sight to bring insanity to all dimensional reality. Carved from thoughts unthought into a graphic, visible delusion of life. A twisted display of dehumanized features, by cells reflected, refracted. A frantic dancing of particles, in pathetic attempt at rendering flesh; Swirling to project the illusion of shape, form, dimension and mass. (Eyes not made for watching. Thousand watt obsidian bulbs; Reflective, obversed. The only view is the barren self) A walking translucent entity. Void, suspended. Inviolate by rules, all standards of existence. An electrified vapor-cloud. A skein of bone and tissue. An atrocity, a liquid form unshaped to the organic norm. A mind not filled with thoughts, but a random flickering static. A soulless creature un-alive; I'm the un-human elastic. |

Trapped in a ceaseless fever of spite
An unending fit of resentment and anger Caught in a moment of unforgiveness In the snapshot of a hate filled second The speechless flickering of uncomprehending eyes Dilated in disbelief Your vacant gaze distorted Twisted in its accusing glare Teeth glimmering in emotional rage Spit of hate suspended mid-air Bodies strained in fury Devoured by jaws of despair One single image frame I wish to forget Now replayed in succession of millions The one second I will always regret My hell found in its reiteration Held within the visualization The continuous rerun of my own violence A fraction of time perpetuated By my regretful soul animated Please forgive the evil in me The darkness within Ferocious, inherent demon Adrenaline gland resident Threatened subconscious snake Repressed into striking coil Surfacing that black second Ascending with the boil |

Humanity peeled from our bones
Deprived of integuments that make us real Shadows of flesh to maintain the system Our own blood splashes as we kneel So meticulously machined Into these obedient devices Puppets, fine-tuned submissive drones Replicas of each other, clones We're dormant accumulations of flesh In a crimson filtered twilight Mute witnesses to the game Wrenches to keep the bolts of lies tight We're the fabric concealing the stains, The red tainted existence The gullibles to bless your sins away Rags to wipe your blooded trails We give in to the atrophy, To the twining of self-thought knowledge The purpose of the human mind reviled Everlasting ignorance realized The scarlet flood inundates our powerless thoughts Defenseless minds with lies overfed Every thought stained, defiled Painted the color, the shade of electric red |

Armed with distorted belief Sharp munition spat from our minds Malignancy-rounds, automatic fire Black, acidic bile Seeping wounds of shattered souls Still not pissing out fast enough To quench our thirst for it to bleed us dry Vile, ever-menacing intent Repulsive belligerence shot from toxic minds Blatant disregard for all but self Proudly flaunting the depravity of a race condemned, malign Iterate, repeat these my words Recite the mantra of late I will corrupt and impair Vitiate, dispirit, debase, violate Souls born with hateful intent The deceitful spawn, descendants of lies By the poisoned nails of history stung If granted the will to injure If granted the will to harm The blades of hurt inexhaustibly swung |

The void clenches its determined jaws
A lethargic, careless motion to kill Monstrous, prodigious, indifferent Slow and deliberate its torturous skills Its molars grind and shatter Onerous, leaden bringers of hurt Unhurried in its deadly intent The undoer of all, dense and inert Its design perfected through aeon's Pure, immaculate, clean, homicidal god-machine Calm, precise ambition Untroubled by the roar of unending screams, The droning blare of absolute doom The down-pitched moan of collapsing dreams Composed, cold, unconditional Uncompromising till all is death Extinction, ruin, its malicious cause Till the last exhalation of human breath |

What solace lies in the arms of fate
The ill embrace of uncertainty When did I leave this in other hands To be pulled down at chance Ripped away by destiny-claws Am I another of fate's possessions Dwelling the lie of freedom Just another straw pulled at random Reclaimed by deceiving time A silent judgment I can not overrule Drawn back into the origin-vortex Uprooted and ground to dust Retracted into anti-existence A magnet repelled by life's polarity Denied the self control of fate We flow suspended in semi-life Until the ever imminent day When oblivion claims our breath Nowhere indefinitely Not dead, not alive Existence-patterns ripped of symmetry As will and fate divide Have I appeased the gods of fate Am I allowed another day Must I die to escape The scanning eyes of death |

I'm a carnal, organic anagram. human flesh instead of written letters.
I rearrange my pathetic tissue. I incise. I replace. I'm reformed. I eradicate the fake pre-present me. Elevate me to a higher human form. The characters i am, made into a word complete, then i'll be the new norm. Self inflicted fractures; I replace my bones with bars. Aluminum bleeding oxide; the drug of gods into my pounding veins. My receiving eyes exchanged with fuses; blindness induced to prevent destruction. Ceramic blades implanted past my ribs to save me from the dues of inhalation. I tear my worldly useless skin. Staples to pin it over my ears. Non-receptive of ungodly sounds - I disable the audio-generators of fear. Hexagonal bolts to fill my mouth, sharpened to deplete the creator of all violence; Without speech there will be no deceit Baptized in vitriolic acid, a final touch, a smoothing of features. Completion of the greatest art; to cast the godly creatures. Humans, once astray; made divine, stripped of congenital flaws. We're incandescent revelations in a world of darkened forms. Disciples! Come join with me to save a failed humanity. Follow the god of cyanide into the new eternity. Behold! A sacrificial race a cleansing worshipping of pain. The new millenium christ here to redeem all from lies. |

Lacerating pains of degeneration speed through your trembling mind
Still, in machine-like strife you gain another mile The temporary elusive goal. To reach the solace to feed once more Upon the synthetic reaper of loss. No matter the outcome the cost Cold and stinging needs tearing through the halls Of your defiled, flesh made temple with it's closing walls Still you claim the worshipers pose and you bow, you kneel Once superior now a docile pet at chaos feet Pulling the leash as it trails the scent to where all the hurt recedes Your past a blurry patch in mind. Your future once: now thin dreams filed Towards the lights of need you strive, To drink into your vein the shine. Beaten to the unforgiving ground. Lashed into submission, By the inner starving demon. By it's unrelenting hand Still you claim the worshipers pose and you bow. You kneel to the syringe Answering only to the authorities of sedation. Their calls the only ones heeded A worn out soldier touched by their contagion. A battered drone at their feet You're the only one betrayed. An outcast set afire by your inner war Your burning self so far astray. A combustion fanned from within your core. |

Beams of fire sweep through my head
Thrusts of pain increasingly engaged Sensory receptors succumb I am no one now, agony My crimson liquid so frantically spilled The ruby fluid of life unleashed Ripples ascend to the surface of my eyes Their red pens drawing at random, at will A myriad pains begotten in their wake The bastard spawn of a mutinous self The regurgitation of my micro nemesis Salivating red at the prospect of my ruin, my doom Malfunction the means for its ascent Bloodletting the stringent voice to beckon my soul So futile any resisting tension As death-induced mechanics propel its growth The implement, the device of my extinction The terminating clockwork of my gleeful bane The definitive scourge of its mockery The end-art instruments lethality attained Heed, it commands, heed my will Bleed, it says, bleed you will Falling into the clarity of undoing Scornful gods haggle for my soul Minds eye flickers and delegates as I let go Taunting whispers accompany my deletion A sneering grin, the voice of my reaper Chanting softly the song of depletion |
