When the Ink is Dry

Glass casket buried at sea
Vitriol is all you left me
All you left me
From conception to dirt
Just perfect failure
We are never more alive
When we are near death
You hide behind the stars
The darkness, the silent
The suns blinding light
It fucking hurts
Evacuation of life
Born with hooves
A sour womb
Festering
Infested
Born with hooves
A sour womb
Festering, infested
Crawling with vermin
Hollow chest
I lay the crow to rest
Three word atrophy
Sometimes the things you hate don’t hate you back
Eyes wide, piercing
Even in death
Scars fade, fair well victim
Scars fade, fair well victim
Halo of sadness, spewing darkness
Ripped apart
Scattered, ravaged and eaten
Blue like sapphire
As I speak
I want to be where the tears are warm and cleansing
I want to feel the comfort of the weight when I bleed out
I want to feel every letter of goodbye
I want to feel the earth as it swallows me whole
I won’t miss the sun and the endless skies of blue
I won’t miss the sand and the ocean’s song
I won’t miss the stars, I don’t have that long
But your scent
I will miss

You were life, the beautiful lie
I am forever death, the painful truth
Pull the halo through your neck
Dig, dig, dig, dig
Dig, dig, dig, dig
Open, lay inside
With the hole in your chest
Wrapped in a sheet
I put your heart in your hands
So many friends, spread all around
You want to sleep over
You can bring your blanket
Cover me in weep
Who sleeps next to you?
Can I visit them too?
You’ve been here a while
Kiss me with a smile
Can I taste, please just a little?
The worms can watch, I won’t tell
I’ll help you with your zipper
We will share my bed
We will share my bed
I’ll put you back in the morning
I’ll put you back in the morning
I’ll put you back in the morning
I’ll put you back in the morning
I’ll put you back in the morning
Orphan of dark, children of filth
Orphan of dark, children of filth
Children of filth
Orphan of dark, children of filth (mother of filth)
Orphan of dark, children of filth (mother of filth)
Children of filth, orphan of dark
Children of filth, orphan of dark
Eons, even death will die
Each breath is foul
(I’ll put you back in the morning)

Gallow Confessions
04:43

If there’s no light, I choose eternal darkness
The water washes pride from my face
The letting go of old ghosts, ones I beg to be haunted by
I hope the thought of my name fills your mouth with ash
My tongue cuts deep
Oxytocin lust
Eater of shadows
It will never be quiet
Telling secrets to the wind
Blue to brown, back and forth, time and time and time again
The steam is deafening, lips touch, flesh to flesh
The embrace I clenched to, the one my mind will erase
What dreams make real are only a tiny
Spark of why we disappear
Spark of why I’ll disappear
The devil and god look west
Forbidden fruit
Spindrift, nothing will ever be the same
Nightmare, nightmare
Death pulls at you with invisible hands
Ruination of a plastic life
For dust you are, and onto dust you shall return
Drawn in sand for the waves to take
Slit my wrists while we kiss
Hanging from a rope, with the hope
You cut me down and show me what real pain is
