Demon Tamer 05:12
You have taken everything from me My only remaining purpose is to annihilate you all You have brought this onto yourselves Have you any idea of the wrath you have spawned within me? You should have taken my life No mercy was ever given to me Despite how cried out in pain you were always relentless Eye for eye, tooth for tooth One by one Cry for cry, root for root Fire with fire I remember a little boy who had no clue How completely one's sense can be removed Endlessly screaming, even when I'm dreaming I cannot escape it Forever forsaken for what you have taken A walking death's head There is no salvation only condemnation For you or for myself Now we'll all suffer and you will discover That I have returned for what belongs to me Now stripped of all I ever held dear Compassion burdens not a man with nothing left to lose I await for no tranquility As I watch the wind scatter your ashes I still feel nothing at all

Brace yourself, for this is going to hurt But keep in mind, it's only suffering Nevermind if, it completely crushes you It's time to show, are you a man or a mouse? Wouldn't you suffer for her over and over again? Wouldn't you do the same over and over again? You must accept this, in order to survive Attempts to hide, will lead to nothing useful A clear mind, is what you need now Feel, think, react, and learn to live with it Don't let this take more, than is necessary Try to remember, what you'll sacrifice Focus on everything, you went through to get here The effort you saw, to become who you are Preserve as much, of yourself as possible Refuse to let, this tear it all down It might take a year, even the rest of your life Just remember, this is the only life you have

Floating in the middle of a complete and utter chaos Not a single urge to follow but this state is unbearable Light-years past a fiber of hope, I exist on pure stubborness The only option that I have is to wander pointlessly The leaves are changing color, the air is turning cold, I sit and wait I can not recognize myself anymore, I sit and wait Broken into tiny pieces, no source of solace to be found I can endure the pain, but this emptyness devours everything Completely hollow inside, yet it still finds something to feed on Look at me, this shell of a man, how dare you make me suffer more? Until there is nothing left to preserve

Ronin 05:45
Hide all emotion, nevermind you're burning inside Turn frustration to strength, show a cold face None of you know me nor understand what I've gone through None of you realize what I'm still capable of Scars are the tokens of victory upon your skin The bleak ornaments on the walls of your temple You would be a fool to underestimate my will I may be wounded but never weak No longer begging, pleading for refuge I'll take these wounds, bear them as scars No longer able to hold on to who I was I must seek purpose in whatever I'll be left with Blissfully lost, nothing left to preserve I possess not a single thing that anyone could ever take from me

Hourglass 05:42
This day seems so endless A broken heart pounds inside I can but listen Every beat sounds like it's the last I have no strength To sever myself from this It's like the sound of a clock You've heard and can't shake anymore As time keeps slipping away I still lie here helplessly As our existence split in two Your time went on, mine came due I can not control The ripples this created It's like butterfly effect But only in linear time I need to act, need to get a hold of myself Stop time from leaving me behind But all I can do is lie here in pain As the tears run down my face I voicelessly scream Please take me back home...
6.
I am the one who looks over you From the darkness beyond your view You might not see me ever again But know that I will never be far from you As I go down, I refuse to drag you to hell with me I have chosen the path of loneliness I am the one who dwells! in! dark! places! You are the one for whom I'd sacrifice every single thing I have

Ouroboros 05:47
Through the paralyzing pains, the mindfucking loss The sickness that is tearing me down piece by piece I struggle to rebuild, to outmuscle a force far greater than myself With the sole power of will I have been place into A constant state of change And though I'd die to always keep All the things I love I know I must let go in order to survive Everything that was given, will now be taken away So instead of clinging on to what I hold dear I must find hope in what is still ahead of me In this function negative thoughts Gravitate towards certain... failure Everytime it picks me apart, I will resuscitate myself Lay down the burden of negative, all memories that chain you down I know it hurts, like nothing ever before, but there's just one alternative If you can't take the punishment, then you are truly not a man... but a mouse One more scar to bear One more future day dream nightmare One more cycle comes to an end To make way for the next one to contend

The Prism 04:46
She would feel my touch in different colors Gentle caress in starlight red Immense purple brought by sneaking lust That could be in no way controlled Fallen into your warm velvet web Euphoric neurology Fragrant enchantment Blue and green form a forest stream flowing The trees are made of her hair I've bent down to quench my thirst And I can never stand up again She is the prism The life is the light I need her beside me In my world black and white No wishes of blindness No numbed eyes
