lyrics

I reached out and grabbed the sun,
Contort the light of all.
Bring down the life giver
And swallow it whole.

The destruction of oneself is a prime directive. Clouds of doubt, of guilt. Imposter.
Rain down a wash of pain and bathe in dreams of nothing.
As I contemplate the fire, the potential for rebirth, the embers sear the throat.
A reflux of actions, a burning penance spawned more of sorrow than anger
The days grow dark in the eclipse, they distort in the radiant collapse
Cold are the hands that bore the weight of the insufferable corpse of ilios
Born from ravenous silence, a spawn of alienation
Masked in abhorrent weakness, a shroud of suffocation

To rot in a void, untouched and ripe with decay.
My senses, grow accustomed, to the mouth of inhumanity.
Untouched by light and warmth my weakness laid bare for, all to see.
The stigma, the stain
Encompasses us all
Encompasses us all

Born from ravenous silence
A spawn of alienation
Masked in abhorrent weakness
A shroud of suffocation

As the sun is digested and the remnants forgotten
I fall, deeper, downward.
Into the slumber where the fever and the sickness grow stronger,
And I perish in a dreamless sleep
The destruction of oneself is achieved without question
The clouds, suffocate, the remains.
A stillborn dawn weighs heavy in the air.
A stain of the familiar

I reached out and grabbed the sun,
Contort the light of all.
Bring down the life giver
And swallow it whole.
