1. SLITHER

Intoxicate every night just to fall asleep
My own reflection has eyes I can't meet
Always more obsessed with death than love
Never able to do anything for anyone

All the bad that crosses my path
Is consequence of my past
Gold intentions, silver sins
Forge a blade, tear my skin

I've been eating less and drinking more
Asking God what the fuck he's waiting for
I've got nothing left in this life
Nothing left but pain and my pride

No love for the man in the mirror
Punish myself 'til the day after never

Choke
On all the words I misspoke
To death
The snake slides down my throat

The pain, it slithers
It slithers away


2. MARIONETTE

Awake, imprisoned
Entombed within my flesh
Shadows, they're dancing
Lurking outside my grasp

My dreams reek of burning skin
I can't watch you die again

Fingertips worked to the bone pull roots from my skull
Encroaching terror crushing, pushing deeper down this hole

Suffer the fate of the marionette
My limbs tied to strings, leading me towards my death
Spent my life hunting for humanity
And when I found her she was stolen from me

Fever dreams
Plague my nights
Rot my mind
