Excision 02:13
I want nothing Nothing to do with the bullshit and nonsense But I can't stop this Repressed and dug deep but it somehow still follows me I still see the blackened earth The walls and ceiling all covered in soot Swallowed in ash My fingers embracing the feeling of dirt. (Damaged youth) Surrounded in blue (Left alone) My eyes see the truth Two children no shelter protecting another There's no excuse You had your fucking chance I've accepted the disgusting truth for what it is. There's no excuse that can ever be made for your pathetic actions. I'm still Regurgitating Every time I close my eyes Deteriorating With every thought I've confined I struggled well This burdens brought me strength There's a presence in your absence that lingered over me I'm better now at least I'm trying to be Excision I cut you out You will never feel remission Forever shrouded in the dark clouds Excision Every thought from my mind to rid myself of your phantom will be excised

Bitter 02:27
I gave up being that somebody who'd please you. Gave up the small talk cause its just an excuse to to fake a smile and pretend like we're close I'd say "it's good to see you" but I'm sick of the hoax. Fist clenched in anger and I am nothing but a stranger to you. I keep my distance to observe But when the words leave your lips there's a poison that burns. You're all sheep dressed in wolves skin Barking like dogs just to fit in but maybe it's me and I'm just so bitter at every single thing that I can't see maybe I'm the cancer, the thorn in my own side show me the answers. Wish I could differentiate between wish I could see past illusions, separate the seams. So I'll bite my tongue And let the blood fill my mouth so that I won't hurt you all by saying something that I know nothing about Immersed in grief. Draped in misery. Immersed in grief

There's skeletons in the closet A pile of bones I'm forced to acknowledge My throes, my downfall. I can never seem to let go but why should I have to Why should I pretend like I don't know. I tried to bury all the bullshit but it dwells in the shade. And there's a devil on my shoulder. Teasing Why should I let you get away Kill em all -Feed me to the machine or hang me from the trees I am a man of the bastard species I want the world to eliminate me- I hope you peak and underneath the light your hollow prism manifests what I've seen this whole time. No color in your spectrum Everything Everything is black Exposed Everything underneath the light will be exposed

It only takes me a momentary lapse of time to intertwine and overwhelm myself again. And I lost faith in stability trying to mend these wounds feels exactly like throwing stones into the river Trying to skip to the other side But the weight is overbearing My lack of poise and composure Forces me to the floor. I feel filthy. Drudging through the mud. Buried with the worms I hope to overcome These wounds will never heal. I wish that I was too numb to feel them. Instead I fixate my eyes on the ceiling. And sink. I begged for death. But there's no release. Consumed. I will never bloom Like the lotus My heads underwater I see the surface I feel the suns bliss But I still sink. I still hope that I can Sew my wounds shut

I found shelter in the warmth of your bones. With the graze of your skin I embrace bliss. I embrace bliss Adapt to the rush of blood when our fingers touch In the comfort of your radiance I surrender to all I see in front of me. I used to trick myself into believing I felt nothing. The fake embrace of solitude until I saw you. I lost hope in anything pure. -Id fight a million battles And dozens of wars No matter the cost All for you Healed me from others that hurt me Showed me that this life is worth living with your love.- I showed you wounds. And you did the same. I know that I'm no healer but I wish I could ease your pain. I am the bed of thorns that protects your rose. And the rain will pour but I will gain strength My devotion is eternal. I've succumbed to your spirit. My obsession is your affection. I only have one question. How does it feel to fall to fall from heaven. Fall from heaven
