1. BETROTHED TO MISERY

War crimes in my head
Vile seeds drugged my brain
Tear your God from my sin
Who split my soul from within

Torn apart to wander
On lone planes forever
War in a worn out winter
Misdirect my consciousness

Come for me or flee
Make them stop
Looking at me
Whisper to me or flee
Convince me
To believe
I don't belong
I don't matter
It won't matter
My life's an unsung verse
Pull me from this curse
That all mothers call life
Yet all mothers die

Rape the soul
Bind it tight
Watch it suffer
Watch it heave
Leave it there
Forever to be
A shameful quest
For humanity


2. TRANSFORMATION THROUGH DEGENERACY

Ocean, shift my figure
Worry not of tendons ripping
Ocean, liquefy my mind
Worry not of thoughts dissolving
For my muscles were weary
And my thoughts were brittle
You cannot break me
For I entered the deep
Broken

Froth so barren
The reef has torn
From a mass of seaweeds
Coiling arms
The waters decaying
Tainting my skin
Enveloped in blackness
Completely

Eerie scream of the depths
I cannot find my ways
Lead me downwards
And towards
Your ceaseless calls

My body damaged
My mind in ruin

Disembodied
Disembarked
Dismembered
Dismantled
Displayed
Diseased
Disfigured
Disincarnated
