lyrics

Prisoner! Shackled to this torment!
Only horror and loss to fill your void
Your errors echo in silence!
Leaving shadows in your wake!

Ripped and scattered, I welcome the semblance
Held captive in the wretched hour
This horrid penalty unfurls with no end
Could this all have been erased?

Why was I displaced?
Forced out in a blink
Captured in sounds, released in silence
Do these cycles have limits?

Wash my hands of self-destruction
Thought erasure
Blot out intruders of malice
Mind absolver

Find me suited and willing
Manifester
Yet to spill a drop of blood
Fetid protestor

Surmountable obstructions
Monolith looming, beckoning
Lifted, righteous Omen

Framed Oscillator, pulsing
The vacuous pull, hypnotic null
The tilting of the world

Emptiness
Welcomes my purpose
Fathomless
How grand, the distance
A temptress
Offers my egress
White Abyss
Prevents my progress

Purge my vision,
One by one, my footsteps fade
Sound distorts, reflections mame

Horrible glow can't be contained
Inferior Vessel
My writhing gait will only hinder
The glitching static

Carry me
Gleaming, infirm light
Bury me
Mend our blight

Writhe with me.
