lyrics

Surrounded,
by ghosts of the past ~
Bodies laid out around,
as I sit here reflecting, sippin from a flask
And I ask my own reflection for a glass

Breaking from my slumber, over-cumbered,
With thoughts trying to mask, my vast Memories, of a past romanced ~

All laying in puddles of my own blood,
Corpses, in formation,
each one slain over a breeching of trust

Drilling through the crust
Over a grudge, collecting dust
All because my own love of lust

back then I didn't wanna listen
But I should have answered my own calls
Just a smidgen

Cause I allowed myself to fall into a trap, running laps around, with no map,
but letting Em' have their way,
As I was submerged in a pool of toxic waste

~

Decay, but I had no clue, this wouldn't leave my brain without a trace
Debauch, on god,
I was chasing around bitches like a dog, wanting a bone for a night,
Drowning in their abysmal whim like Enoch,
Claws, reaching out for their flock
to cut and take another essence of my lust
You only really love, when all is said and done

But I rather just bust one, fuck, and regret when I'm older, smoldered,
given a cold shoulder ~
As the bodies lay across the floorboard,
various past lives, scattered,
Like knocked over pieces on a chessboard

I keep trying to kill my own voice of reason ~
Remembering, when I look at the mirror,
it's an act of treason
We all got our demons ~
But mine are chillin,
acting like they making a killin' off my feelings
Living, stealing my sense of logic
As I fall back into a slumber with the same 'ol rhythm in my head sounding hypnagogic ~
Past selves and future selves,
Bucking them down,
despite the trophies on my shelf
Or the lack of accumulated wealth ~

taking what I want, no need for stealth
So I continue to enter the fray,
cloaked and masked up,
Stepping over the corpses in my wake,
Past and future converged, locked in a cage
Imploding amid the chants, spat all over the cosmic proverbial shroud of my stave ~
