A light flickers in a distant hallway, Deep in mind, casting feint shadows. Not enough to hide the torturous demons which lay in wait. My fear, their fuel. my confusion, my despair But still the light persists A bleak but persistent beacon. Day by day I continue to weaken Sharp synapses fight the failing memory And the losses that I continue to see Questions that i yearn for resolve. One day I hope the answers behold Illogical reason carves a deep and vicious path Through the heart's landscape, an aftermath Broken nails rip apart the eyes Callous hands redirect the pain from lies The oil of mankind falls warm upon lands (Upon lands) The mind's eye is lost, and clouded No heart shall service a life Without suffering Life’s a sentence of uncertainty In the distance shines a brighter light Glints of hope, escape of this plight Fools gold, desperate thoughts of desire Escape a dysphoric state so dire A new path amidst the lakes of grief Unexpected chance to turn an new leaf Rare are things with last for eternity New skin pulls over tender memory Reincarnated in layers of hate Weakness is to succumb to this fate Shadows grow crisp and no longer shield demons Breaking the chains bestowed by the reason The mind's eye is lost, yet clouded No heart shall service a life Without suffering Life’s a sentence of uncertainty

Mass graves below the city All the corpses none shall pity Desecrating memory Locked away, throw away the key A labyrinth of bones Souls trapped in a state of limbo Silent cries echo through the dark Another lost post the final glow Forbidden are the gates of hell Exploring in secret The Cataphiles Mapping out the catacombs But all who enter beware This could be your final home It’s hard to breath through this weight of silence The walls engulf you in a fathomless despair All alone Yet you feel their stare Surrounded by a sense of consuming dread A suffocating silence Yet torturous words ripple through your soul Trespass amidst the bones Turn by turn look increasingly the same Your way is lost Light fading All hope is gone (All hope is gone) Don’t entertain that the world will find you Now imprisoned like those before you Never again see the light of day Give up and begin to pray All alone Yet you feel their stare Surrounded by a sense of consuming dread A suffocating silence Yet torturous words ripple through your soul Trespass amidst the bones Turn by turn look increasingly the same Your way is lost Light fading Forgotten soul Yearning for resolution Life cut short by a curious mind An internal darkness Lone hope of discovering the catophile Stumbling blindly amidst the bones Your efforts are in vein This route is unmapped Chances low A Labyrinth of bones (A labyrinth of bones) Follow these corridors to your grave (Depending deeper) Clutch onto life before the darkness takes it away (It’s suffocating) Limbs grow stiff as as the exhaustion takes hold (Your getting weaker) Fall into a the abyss as the dead embrace forever more x2 Air that is thickening To face the end of life And dark that is consuming This is your reckoning Make your final payers to a deity of your choosing Hope is diminishing Acceptance of your fate These tunnels are entombing This is your ending Relinquish last thoughts of the choices you are regretting

Everyday I awake to the nightmare The feeling of regret and a looming despair Happiness is not mine to keep Drowning my sorrows, tortured mind retreat My only escape is that elusive sleep Sedate myself and start counting sheep Time is ticking to a new dawn and to suffer is our right since we were born Stuck in cycle of self destruction Drugs and liquor in all it’s seduction Please throw me a rope The question is do I pull towards help or wrap it around my neck to choke My consciousness is yours to revoke Time is ticking to a new dawn To suffer is our right since we are born Consciousness in passing waves Feeling like I am not good enough For this world that expects so much Falling through the bottom of a glass Then to swear the last time has passed I fail every standard created Sinking deeper into a well of self hatred I am now less scared of death More accepting to a peaceful end Suffering loss of recent memory Disappointment if they could see That my life has become this way Judgment from the lost I pay To fear life is not how to live it Blame it all on others to help deal with it Finally bring an end to this plight Or at dawns light renew the fight Pick yourself and brush off the dirt Break the habits, try not to revert Keep on moving along the right track Bury the sorrow and don’t look back Scrambling for paper to unleash this turmoil Venting my anguish with swift scribbles of ink A floodgate of emotions That I cannot control I don’t think I can escape this anguish This depression, dysphoria or despair Every day I wake to a new dawn But this darkness is always there when I am alone But I don’t want to waste away in the etherial eternity I dream for that very day that I crush this anxiety Goodbye the demons that are obsessing me I won’t give for this shit anymore! To escape from this emotional maelstrom Escape your fate and on your life you concentrate To dispel your demons and all that shit you have on your plate On your plate I send you my love, you give me a reason to keep on fighting If only I could redo the past, life decisions rewriting To overcome my dual personality The inner voice that stops you becoming all that you can be This oppression is that of your own creation Self doubt, the prevention of a positive ascension Feeling like I am not good enough For this world that expects so much Falling through the bottom of a glass Then to swear the last time has passed I fail every standard created Sinking deeper into a well of self hatred I am now less scared of death More accepting to a peaceful
