Devoid of Hope

1.
Take steps forward only to retract, Strangled in my attempt to escape this trap No care to awake from a long nights sleep, In my mind, I've lost all peace. Face yourself after years of work and toil Realize that life isn't what you thought it would be Long to be at rest, buried underneath the soil. Can't look on the bright side when your face down in the dirt Thankless human being with no self worth. Hateful and prone to spite, I'm a threat to myself Isolated from the world, I put my loved ones on a shelf Face yourself after years of work and toil Realize that life isn't what you thought it would be Long to be at rest, buried underneath the soil. My corpse lies in the dirt, worms feast on broken hopes. Reaching up, muddy earth, My bones fail to feel the sun. I see and I hear them speak but I can't make out their words, I'll be six feet under before I can rest assure That I'll be free of hopelessness. Unconvinced, my fingers burn, Miserable and tired, mind overworked Cast aside, I peer from the depths. Cast aside, I peer from the depths, seething with hate in spite of neglect With envy, I see those around me progress Stressing myself while the world's at rest. Cursing myself, I'll never learn Killing myself to live free of scorn In my greatest attempts I always fail Sick of fighting tooth and nail Tooth and Nail

Crippled 02:56
Run circles around my head Life lost, hopes crushed , dwell in regret Stuck to the floor day after day Face down in past mistakes Searching for a way to gain some clarity Nothing seems real to me Crippled by fear Suffer my life without you here. Reaching out for those better days, But the clock spits hours in my fucking face Crippled by fear, Misery takes its toll Left with the ache of a dying soul. My heart burns a thousand pyres Those who've sown in tears shall reap in joy Yet the harvest produces constant lies, Promises of tomorrow fail to come to light. Wrapping me in unyielding pain and frustration, these promises fail to come to fruition. Closed my eyes to your truth You numbed yourself to the world, your life unfurled. You were dying inside, gasping for air As you floated away with the tides of despair. Try to tell me there's life after death? Then put the gun to my fucking head Bullshit scriptures give me no desire. My heart burns a thousand pyres

Worn 03:08
Your forever came to an end In my world you are as good as dead You ripped the heart from my chest I mend the caverns you callously left Pick our memories like a scab, they keep coming back. Tear at my soul until there's nothing left. We are a broken dream Worn out by time We came apart at the seams The sun doesn't rise in my eyes, devoid of hope. All that's left is the hell In which I roam You were a staple, an anchor end I was wrong, you're not heaven sent. You're cold Your cold embrace keeps me up at night If I had the words to wash away the lies, I would crush them into your eyes Wish I could hurt, to feel the blood in my veins Tried to find those words, silence remains. Your beauty, captured in still frame. Helpless, I'll fall victim once again.

Deceiver II 03:36
The first to throw stones You drown in reproach Reaching for your fucking throne Sliver lining philosophies of how this world should be Mean everything to you, but it's all bullshit to me. (Realize) Man hangs himself by political ties, Choking, dying kicking off the backs of damaged lives Swimming In lies, Spew your rhetoric to justify years of genocide Sliver lining philosophies of how this world should be Mean everything to you, but it's all bullshit to me. (Realize) Man hangs himself by political ties, Choking, dying kicking off the backs of damaged lives Damaged Lives, Steal from the public, You fucking thief, brainwash society with your extremist beliefs Is it hard to breathe with your head in the clouds? I want to be the one to choke the ignorant words from your crooked mouth. Spineless men in suit and tie Perception is deception, I see though their lies Cut out our eyes, so we can't see The voiceless suffer, no means to speak They'll do anything to stay afloat, Packaged hate crammed down our throats I can't breath And with my final breath, I denounce their deceit.
