Deviation 06:21
eyes full of slime, mouth spits out the insults you see filth anywhere but in yourself blind to everything which dies around you can’t see a mistake even if it crushed you all that was familiar is distorted all the meanings are reversed when I turn away with disgust you shout the cry of delight though despair rips your hearts out you pretend you haven’t got them deaf to the whining of soul there’s only ash left in you I don’t want anything to do with you I know nothing will change human will remain the same as he ever was so let you stay in this mess I don’t fucking care about you damn you
2.
too weak to climb high too coward to resist paralyzed by fear waiting for someone who doesn't exist unexpected journey preparations weren't done so mismatched beyond the furious hive all I expect is I will fall down take me away from the faces so grey like burned compassion ease the scorching pain so devouring deaden my biterness clean my deep strains made of distress my mental defraction drained is my strength and sleep doesn't give a rest
3.
I am the creator of myself my own doom and failure dreadful shadow melted in the mist everything sublime collapses by my will consciousness falters in the fading light falling deeper into sickness losing foundations of sanity I descended into the abyss I have made out of sight hidden in vain wish crumbled opened my scars pulled me down in fear of silence among moon rising I imprisoned myself into shackles of awe I entered the way I would never chose transformed
4.
I see it in my eyes I see it in me is this me who kills the light or is it shadow in me I’m not able to everyday I’m trying to oppose I am my own worst enemy darkness in my soul darkness in my mind
5.
dusk falls shapes disappear anxiety is growing I feel the darkness irresistible is coming for me it will change everything the terrible hand demands me my own fault sealed this fate day by day I lose myself in the deep of no light I am alone against all the darkness in me I am stifled weaker than ever before I still stand up to the total decay I keep to myself and I'm the one who hates who blames who runs away what will be when the last leaf drops when the worst turns out to be true I can't see the way even though I'm staring when everything seems to die my eyes remain empty the plague is spreading - over me the sky is darkening - inside me I am stifled
6.
in the hours of void when the clock freezes the great black phantom hovers by my side and reminds me of all that came to nothing elusive whisper, silent threat „I'm your solitude, blessing and your curse” elusive whisper, freezing breath „I'm your friend and foe, faithful for your pain” drifting the black sky avoid your reflection you can recognize your worst enemy in it drifting the black sky don't look at the stars unless you want them to blind you in the hour of abandonment when light can't reach me I stray among paths ever the same like a ghost listless to it’s fate vomiting the void on myself
7.
I found the liar within crawling aside I found the traitor within who is lurking pushing me into keeping quiet searching for the cleansing from disgrace all the memories will cease to exist the promise of oblivion seems to be the righteous one even if I am seizing the rest of light I know that I am crumbling down I yearn for a liberation every moment of doubt lights the flame of self-condemnation searing me for years burning me out deeper and deeper to the ashes of the harrowed soul I snuffed out all the candles which light led me astray I am leaving now this cursed place and I'm abandoning my shelter burned out to the ashes
8.
too many questions found no answers I no longer trust my judgements in this maze of delusion there are only false prophets left no ascension bring the peace all the efforts seem to be in vain we are unfulfillable burdened by this incurable curse the lone silhouettes covering the faces keeping path they have taken despite the scornful eyes purposeless, but still forging ahead we are like the pilgrims to nothingness sentenced to doubt no one can dispell you see no difference between the poison and cure until it completely destroys you as the years will go by you will realize you understood nothing if it must be that way then all we got left is to keep going this wander of the cursed ones
