Split With Territory
Lost, misdirected answers Questions no one needs Not one truth passes your cracked yellow teeth Your lies are but a cancer Spreading it's disease And the more you try and cure it the more it festers deep Inside your heart; a chapel holy and pristine Inside your heart; a sewer poisoning everything Imitation of morality disfigured desire She drew me inside her flame watched in a dancing fire Hypnotized colors and scents As we ascend anything that she'd demand won't be denied Blood seeps into the ground How much longer can you mask the stench of death How much longer must I suffer To sit upon a throne of fire burning from the kiss of the liar Promises and notes the taste of saccharin Behind the mask a liar and worse yet underneath is a desecrated goddess Never had her fill of flowers that smell of death Watching as they wilt And once every few years as this rotting flower blooms It's said that those who trim their pedals are met with certain doom The flowers are magnificent but here beauty deceives Words thrown back in your face a maze of lies to believe To walk past unmarked gravestones written words unsaid I never want to leave this place To join the gladly dead Walk hand in hand through this gorgeous path of light unending Close your eyes and breathe perfumes with notes of blossoms You've been deceived In a charnel house of lovers cast aside An order of lust that defines us all The flowers of death wither in the fall

I've been born into a dead end life I'm aware of my worth Tried my best to do what's right but I only seem to hurt others around me Every single person that I meet These interactions mean fuck all to me I forget them all lost to self-sabotage If you ever looked in my eyes You'd find empty holes where light had died Dead ends dead ends again and again I can feel the walls closing in Nothing excites me no light to guide me Dead ends dead ends again and again and again and again Miserable benign No one gives a fuck Fake personality I've no self-worth Embarrassment never stops I haven't slept in several days Same boring routine every time I wake I don't know how much more I can take Friends stop reaching out they never cared Look at humanity found nothing there Dead ends dead ends again and again I can feel the walls closing in Nothing inside me no light to blind me Dead ends dead ends again and again and again and again (I gave up joy ran out just give up kill yourself) Just below the surface lies a sadness You wouldn't notice nor would you care Can't imagine I live much longer Can't imagine anyone will notice that I pass

Lo there is a fool who seeks power And the urges within he'll do anything Lost no matter who he prays to Lo the crystal awaits Betwixt death and gold drug fuelled whispers foretold "Offer everything in blood and the crystal awakes" "Cut your palm and show your hand with a shadow'd blade" The crystal controls both god's and man you control the path that's laid "There's no such thing as fate" "Drugs, sex, money, control it's all within your grasp Clutch it tight in your left hand speak the words and the choice is cast" "Then let the world feel my wrath" Hesitating he wondered aloud: "Do I want it all?" He dragged the blade across his palm and the fool became a God Starting small with suspicion now he could not lose And his power grew with every decision no matter what he would choose The crystal would see it through He discovered a life he'd never known riches beyond comprehension Wars fought and won abuse unending This was the crystal's deception... Crystal's light though dim illuminating all Under the spell of it's wisdom he could never predict his fall The magic was a lie this was his undoing 'Twas neither blessed nor cursed leaving him in ruin "Life mediocrity perhaps worse than before Had everything and lost it all... And still you long for more" Heed our warning this tragic tale is true Perhaps worst of all The next fool is you
