Thus. I. Die. Blacken my heart Consumed by hate thus I die One more meal for the worms to feed No closure, no pearly Gates Thus I die We've poisoned the well choked the life out of the last flower, Squanderedthe gift of life We alll deserve to die Said my goodbyes No reason just to stay and cry Nothing left to do but sit back and watch this world die Drag them from their homes Kill them in the streets For once everything is clear. They taught us to hate And We will teach them to fear Love songs from a mass grave Id rather be pushing daisies

I haven't slept in days As I lay and wait as this place swallows me alive I haven't eaten in days As I let the poison of self loathing flow through my veins I haven't spoken in days As these thoughts drag me deeper Into this place My heart grows heavy I weep these bitter tears They left me at rock bottom So I gave into my fears My veins freeze, as this festers in me My arms a map of track marks, and self inflicted solace Rain rain Wont you stay? Help me fall asleep today Lay me in a shallow grave And wrap me in her cold Embrace Pain, pain go away Teach me how to feel today Everything I see is grey So help me learn to fly away Hate, hate,Won't you stay? Tell them that I tried to change Let these thoughts lead me astray and now their just a part of me Goodbye autumn my first love Sweet Winter my hearts forever yours Hold close and behold the Empty and unending night A beauty I can scarcely describe to you Its As though potraying the sea to a blind man This room is eating me alive It waits inside of me Pushing everyone away Its like a fucking monster eating away at me These scars wont stay closed These ghost wont let me go six feet beneath regret Since the night I cant forget Allow me to reopen these wounds Listen to this suicide note written just for you Let vultured have their fill and let the crows feast As the maggots take what's left of me Leave my body for the world to see The face of a generation of gluttony I've got the whole world in my hands And im going to choke it to death Let me slip into the cold silence Let me remain frozen in this moment Chill my lungs with your cold sweet breath Free my soul of anguish and of regret Fill my mouth with the taste of death A visage of a funeral of a friend Lay me with my guilt six feet deep So sweet Winter,Sing me to fucking sleep Nothing for the world to take Nothing but to lay and wait As the last of me drains from my wrist and dries away No one could ever forgive me No one would ever miss me No one left to mourn a coward in a unmarked grave Every cut a cry for help Every drug a step towards hell Every word I wrote a eulogy for the man I was One last gaspe before the climax One smirk before the gun blast One last song before the jump off the fucking edge They left me all alone There was nowhere to go Everybody goes away and left me all alone I defy you I defy you stars

Dangling, the last of me crawls out from my lungs The satisfying climax and prelude to an early grave Choking, as my sins hold my head beneath my guilt As the world begins to fade around me This is the tragedy we deserve Ive fantasized this for as long as I can remember Wrist cut open and a noose to tie it all together Death throes echo through the halls, as my demons strangle me to death Laughter for the first time within these walls As my regret steals my final breath As my hatred walks me into my coffin My grave calls to me The devil calls me home I face the end alone I spiral deeper Into this unending darkness This unstoppable, monstrous craving devours all that remains of me Eviscerating, its tendrils maintain control over me Like weeds, these roots slither its way around my neck I lay in alone this room and wait As my feelings spill from my wrist My veins grow ice cold My lips curl into a grin It wont be long now I can leave this putrid pit My last gasp a curse My heart turns to stone I feel like more ghost than a man Don't you dare compare your scars to mine Until you feel it creeping up on you Slithering its way into you mind Until you follow the cold shiver traveling down your spine Until you're trapped to rot with the pieces of your life Until you've tried to poison every monster in your heart. Until you've severed every tie and watch The world fall apart My arms remain a monument to suffering A mural of despair and fear A reminder of there's a funeral in my heart Spiraling, descending, and unending. How far down must I sink? Spiraling, suffocating, and unending. How much more must I lose? As this cruel world engulfs us. Will the ghost stay with you? Was it even worth it? Is there anything left of me?

My dear you must know i am the father of lies I am one with dead A lust unclean eternally controls me The wretched welcome me home My dear You must know I am the father of lies I am the pariah among demons The son of the one who dwells below Whose thirst drives him My hands run through her hair My lips grazing on her skin My teeth sink into her throat Crimson relief flows into my mouth A child of the night I see her in all her beauty A sinister urge, ever calling ever gnawing My heart belongs to the night God kills indiscriminately, so too shall I The taste of her lingers on my tounge Through her I become one with the dead Oh lucifer my soul is yours to take And with her who can leave the wretched place My dear you must know I am the father of all lies. My friend gaze and behold this is the symphony of the night Dear father who dwells below, i am now one with the horde Oh mother praise the Lord, the prodigal son has returned A child of the night I see her in her beauty Sinister urge awakens as she lay before me The taste of her still lingers even when she left me Oh my sacrifice now look into eternity A child of night i see her in her beauty Sinister urge awakens as she lay before me Her body offers to sate this ancient hunger All father take this sacrifice in thy heart My dear you must know i am the father of all lies My friend gaze and behold, this is the symphony of the night And so the night falls

I held the world by its retching neck I felt the breathe escape from her throat I held my ears up to her lips so I could hear her final rattle I held the world by its throat And for a minute it all seemed so clear. I am my fathers hate and mothers fears. Guided by my only reason This is my eternal war. The Second Coming Of The Liberator This is my eternal war. and Every word is for the snake and the goat I watch weight of the world crash around me I watch last gasp of life escape from her lungs I watch as the weight slowly begins to crush you I watch as this cruel world devours you inside out. Every word I scream, the serpent whispered in my ear. Take my hand let my guide you into the night Amazing grace. How sweet the silence That damned a wretch like me. I am, still lost, and wont be found. Still blind now I wont see. I've shut my eyes to light, for the night. I've shut my eyes for what I seek is the Night. This is my war. Hail the fucking beast, and carve your name, into thy arms. Oh Beelzebub take us to thy arms.

Dear friend I guess this is it Goodbye cruel world you make me sick This is my nightmare its what i deserve This is the last nail in the coffin This is the final straw that broke my back The final words that pushed me off the ledge Every step I take dragged me closer to the edge Every breath I take filled my lungs with dread Every word we said just a bullet in my head I wanted to die Dear friend I guess this is it Goodbye cruel world you make me sick Its a shame, I never said goodbye I'll let myself sink and I'll let it all die I'll leave this world with one last look at the sky They tell me it gets better But I know that its a lie My dreams are only of self destruction My heart turns black but its only growing colder I was never in a good place from the start Too many attempts and not enough results Submerged, and fading Hollow and heartbroken I lay and wait I find solace As this world devours me Its a shame, I never said goodbye I'll let myself sink. I'll let it all die They tell me it gets better, But I know that its a lie Oh but that's life So many words. That I wish i could take back You turned your back on me, so I turned my back on the world shotgun loaded we both know how this ends My flesh as paper and a razor as the pen With my last gasp I write one final tale One last promise To the world that I failed One last word From the mouth of a ghost One leap into the dark With these last words To a world so cruel My heart grows cold With these last words From a man long dead I go quietly into the night I keep telling myself everything's fine Walking on sunshine slowly off the edge And so I leave this world Where the heart must turn black or break
