Self Inflicted Gunshot Wound To The Head
wretched spawns of satan
BREAK INSIDE OF ME
and they paint
they paint my soul
with their blood
and they devour
they devour me whole
fill the void in my heart
cause it suffocates
and it violates
my humanity
and i cant find
enough ways
to break free
from this insanity
i close my eyes and i see
crimson skies
raining blood
all over me
the trees are burning down
the palaces are torn and collapsing now
debris is spreading all around
i gaze over the forgotten hills and i see
a dead sea of apathy
what has this world come to
in times of tragedy
on these violet nights i lie awake
with dead eyes wandering wide awake
