The Void

Existence in time what a valuable gift
I'm no longer confined only floating adrift
A conglomerate force under spatial duress
That will swallow the sun and devour the rest
Against my own will vacuumed towards the abyss
Suffocation of thought and a loosening of grip
Spell the end of this life with no hope for the next
As I succumb to the weight of malevolence
Deconstruction, this seduction, pleasure to the mind
Worthlessness is only manifested in the blind
May the secrets we find be a hinderance to our death
As the universe calls out with an omnipotent breath
Heed the call of the void
Rending time and space
No light leaves from the void
Darkness in its place
One last chance sanctify
This undying mind
Physical self is lost
More truths you shall find
Infinity As clear as day outstretched to me
Longer every minute, I cannot fathom it
A sense of being, death perceiving in truest form
Calling out to others lost in the cosmic divine
No longer bound by feeble ties my presence is null
Within the void, it only is, and truly sees All
Heed the call of the void
Rending time and space
No light leaves from the void
Darkness in its place
One last chance sanctify
This undying mind
Physical self is lost
More truths you shall find
Infinity As clear as day outstretched to me
Longer every minute, I cannot fathom it
A sense of being, death perceiving in truest form
Calling out to others lost in the cosmic divine
No longer bound by feeble ties my presence is null
Within the void, it only is, and truly sees All

Bloodletter

Scarred by a message in blood
The writing cuts clean to the bone
Let me remind you of a time
Where the phantom of love was no enemy
Bloodletter
Scar me
Drain me
Drained by the sweetest of touch
The passion betrays all I've ever known
Let me remind you of a lie
I've kept buried for all this time
Bloodletter
Bloodletter
Too far away to make you stay
You've gone away it's far too late
Scar me
Drain me
I will take what is mine
I will claim what is mine
Ritual of cleansing
Message of evil

If this is life then give me death
For machines cannot feel pain
I suck in a breath, have I gone insane?
Circuitry or circulatory
There is no difference
They both keep us alive
Both last resorts of the final moments of mankind
A sadness I carry on
No longer can I quell this insanity
I long for when I find my humanity
The mind has been shattered
My heart eviscerated
Inside my blockade I rot
The monsters don't know their own strength
They bury us six feet beneath the ground
Lies have been told and trust has been lost
But they never seem to care
Cerebral cortex left paper thin
Artificial intelligence takes its place
A thought process raped bare to procedural action

How can a man know what to believe
Before it comes time for us all to leave
The stars and planets shifting endlessly
While God and spirits forever listening
Crippled by this colossal burden that lays itself upon me
Mistakes that scourge the valleys of my sanity
Plunging evermore into despair
Convoluted thoughts lead to us
Infected is the outcome of every action as we constantly feud
Cosmic warnings appear at every end
With reinforcement written in origin
By someone just as clueless as themself
Told what to do by ancient oracles
Whose prophecies never seem to fail
Perhaps they only please you with a facade to avail
Deafened by a lie from the universe
An epiphany that pries open my third eye
Held back from the future
Grasping for a destiny once visible
Be careful what you wish for when you plead
In due time you'll realize that its not what you need
Dualities without a connection
Split apart at the foundation

Destitute and Formless
03:57

Torn down to a thought by force
Theres only light where the speaker resides
Vacant expressions to mask their intent
May they show us why we've come
Ending a life relieving the pain
A broken promise with nothing to gain
The tyrant before me in silhouette black
Has no clear intentions of us going back
At the feet of the ancients I lay
Regret eats away at the skin
Incoherently judged and near the end that cycles to begin
At the hand of the ancients I bow
My soul forfeit for their own game
How can nothingness loom while chaos shrieks
From the realm of which you came
Grief plagues the realm in which you breathe
Please give everything to me
At the feet of the ancients I lay
Regret eats away at the skin
Incoherently judged and near the end that cycles to begin
At the hand of the ancients I bow
My soul forfeit for their own game
How can nothingness loom while chaos shrieks
From the realm of which you came
Ending a life relieving the pain
A broken promise with nothing to gain
The tyrant before me in silhouette black
Has no clear intentions of us going back
Leaving me destitute and formless
