Fill these cracks in my skin
With spit, salt, and substance
I only know it makes it better
I don't remember how it felt before
Last night I passed out in a tub of my own blood
I'm still vomiting up your taste
Scars and tract marks claiming territory
I'm in love with your misery
Where others see atrocity
I've found her, a lie I call serenity
No one could ever take you like I did
Pull away, I'm already inside of you
Behold this abomination
This is your "eternity"
Long live the delusion
Run far, you still carry the seed
Your habits choke you like a noose
Tied to a burden you refuse to relinquish
You make your bed like a grave
Blackout in a casket of vomit and tears
You were always dead
Just a ghost carrying an empty shell
You're crawling to an illusion
Crippled and desperate
Put more maggots and roaches in your innards
No one loves you unless you're on it
To die would be your blessing
To live would be nothing
Two people corrupted as one
Like corpses rotting together
Others call it disease
We bathe in our morbid perfection
Think of me when you bleed
Think of me when you step on nails
Think of me when you shiver
I've haunted you just the same
Hate me and love me
We are nothing

Mother, Father, dearest loved ones,
I exist in depths unseen
Bear this sight in your mind
Just as you bore me
I can't reverse the burdens I made
I'll just have to return myself
At the end of my rope
Just enough to tie a noose
Liquor, pills, and an extension cord
The stage is set
Watching minutes dissolve into hours
I've prepared myself to join the dirt
So low, I'm already in hell
My body awaits disposal
Not a thing like they thought
So many things they've never seen
So many marks I've made
Painting curses on my skin
"Just let me be," I wallow with poison inside of me,
"Let me bleed, I resent every breath I breathe"
I am an error;
Not meant for this life
Something's missing
It should be me

Have a smile and try to hide everything inside your cowardice
Every night you shut your eyes relive the same horror you commit
Cling to a crucifix
Bathing in your anguish
Prolonging in your disgrace
Poisoning the world
Useless as the space you waste
Filthy, privileged, little shit
Craving the taste of feminine skin
Always taking, thinking there's no consequence
You aren't even worth the piss and spit they'll leave on your grave
I'll take the law in my own hands
I'll take your life with my own hands
Bathing in your anguish
Prolonging in your disgrace
Poisoning the world
Useless as the space you waste
Resented more than disease
Every nail in you is another life saved

She twists and turns, just like me
She can piss and bleed, just like me
But she cannot speak
She'll never leave
An eternally precious and purchased child, screaming from underneath her porcelain skin
De-limbed and stitched, just for me
Dressed to desire, just for me
Paid-for pleasure, she brings
So beautifully obscene
A tiara placed upon her head
Cut and caress her, all the same
Motherless and broken, she's never had a name
Indulged in unfathomable filth
An artistic corruption
Erasing innocence with the demented lust of a sickened mind
[Hook:]
Rotted flesh beneath her dress
Nails in palms, torturous behest
Eyelids stripped to keep her from sleep
Little girl's learned to smile without teeth
Licking up the blood that she weeps
Her entire future is me
Beneath the soil they play
Away from all eyes they stay
I have my Alice in chains
Exploiting all of their discarded remains
A tiara placed upon her head
Cut and caress her, all the same
Motherless and broken, she's never had a name

Voyeur Mortis

Razor to veins; cutting across like a bow to strings
The cold steel feels therapeutic
The screams complete a symphony
Adrenaline; a violent crescendo
My masterpiece before me
The sight captured through digital eyes
Their trauma is my applause
Making nightmares like romantic memories
They all ask, "why?"
Maybe I just wanted to watch something die
Other than myself
There's poetry in perversion
A gruesome craft
Days and days of ways to maim
Eyes yearn crime, they witness my demise
A jigsaw sinks its teeth through the neck
The taste of iron, like nectar for insects
My life is hell
They all ask, "why?"
Maybe I just wanted to watch something die
Other than myself
