I can't guarantee that this is what you need or fear...

What is this thing you wear on top of your head?
What did I do to the thing between your legs?
I might have stitched it up and closed it
Like your nostrils and your mouth…
Why was our love a farce?
And why are you alive and breathing
While I endure?
I demand an answer now
Although we expulsed each other
A long time ago
Correct my tilt…
My sanity was fed to a parasite
So will be you and yours
I can't guarantee
That this is what you need
Take this poison and
Just end me
Tell me.. What do you fear?
I will make it even worse
Your grace was meant to
Breathe life into my wounded truth
Yet what I feared was granted
So I slaughtered what's inside me
Show me the wales that I left around your neck
And wear them with all pride
That you're free to feel
Now that I lie asleep
Dormant yet restless
Grievingly...
Isn't it odd how the wolf is lying to himself?
Shining, alive, a perfect fertile soil
This tidal dawn was choked inside my coil
And between monarchs and advocats
The question of guilt dissolved
But I know the truth:
It was me and you
Who crafted this hell
I can't guarantee that this is what you need or fear
This obscenity
Preached by me

Infestation
04:47
|

The very chain dwells inside my chest
For it is one that I chain myself with
Unharmed and unhindered
The forces inside of us all thrive well
QUARANTINE
Alas, I just feel them procreating
The fiendish world that we reside in
Oh, don't forget to lock the door and smash the key
I'm on the verge to kill
Corrupted without knowing
Who did all this to me
Seeded with primitive destruction
My body does not respond to commands
It solely responds to this infestation
Where's to find help
They may not make it through another night
From behind curtains, I hear them talk:
„We've reached a point, it is safe to say
That I would sell anything and anyone.“
How selfish! Disgusting!
How very provoking to judge pity
Helplessly armouring just in case...
Scenarios, bypassing the symptoms of chaos
Don't hesitate to watch from within the cage

Stockholm

Is it just me or do you seem numb?
So faint and deaf, wait, is this a pun?
Cause you are dead to me at any rate my dear
Wait, that's not all, please just be patient
A little more, we draw near the end
The irony tastes better when it's meant for two
Nervous veins indulge (in) my heart
So it craves for an attack
Your dead hand strangulates me
Let me breathe for God's sake
Step by step I acquaint with your frame
I'll stab your voice, your cage and your chains
I'll rob your soul, its host and your virginity
Demons in my blood force me to do
So please understand: I adore you
But it's not like I could resist to...
Greedy lips to consume me
Carnal lust intertwines thee
Ties me up violently
Shakes my mind and those shards
Oh! What a night to sing
And what a night to share with you
When dawn draws near our bed
I lay down roses on your head
The midnight orchestra
Plays us a minuet
I will savor this night until the very end
A strangers violin
Moves me to tears and I decay
(Only with you… It's rotting… Consummate me…)

The garish day reveals about all of my secrets
Its sultry eyes follow me around every corner
Why do you crawl inside my daydream?
I'm afraid of going to sleep
As you threatened to chase after me
Now that I am not even save in my dreams I'm left to die (and)
The velvet night protects me
The darkness embraces me
And whispers gentle yet frantic words into my ears...
Now you cannot creep into my nightmares!
Again, I ask for nothing but rest yet find dread

Burned by the moon
My Belladonna awaits its seizure
A bed becomes my bier
Conserved, I will be laced in dust
This is an ecstasy I kindly refuse
The Scent of a storm lingers outside the door
And back in here I want to become your vital poison
Behold, I will be the voice brushing down your spine
Why would I explicitly welcome this abuse or torment?
I shall crush those demons that shrouded themselves into hiding mist.
How am I expected to survive in this hostile world?
I am crushed by those demons shrouded in concealing mist.
Your vital poison
Like the precious Belladonna
Sweet and enveloping
Dancing veils of smoke blur my very field of vision
How sleepy I am…
I can no longer refuse their „helping hands“

Ancien Régime

I am the King and Queen
Of this Haute Regime
You pave the way
To my throne
I am the handmade King
No one proves me wrong
Disappearing grandchild
How have you misbehaved?
You will be locked away
For a long time
Oh, your mother is late
She will pick you up here,
Hush, don't make a sound
That costs her life
Your father was hanged here
Your family is erased
And so will be you
If you think about
Another misstep
Another failure
Another reason to give me
I (We) cannot think of a reason
To let you breathe the air
Or dust that I (We) do all the time
Second chances: A rare gift
Displease me (Us) and you won't be forgiven
I am Adam and Eve
This is my Genesis
I am Eris, the golden apple
To the most iconic
To the certain beauty
To the one deceiving
Everybody
The war no one can win
Is mine to begin
And moreover mine
To clean after
I am the dictator
I am the descendant
I came from the Titans
I am my own centerpiece
I am this lands treasure
Its megalomania
And rightfully so
I'm never beaten
I am the King and Queen
This is my Genesis
You pave the way
The golden….
I am Discordia
I am… not insane
When did they begin to
Slip away that fast?
It's making me dizzy
Attack now…
We have no time left
We have no time left..
They are everywhere
Where is my crown?
Surround and then seize them
What are you waiting for?
They are weaklings and fools
They are worthless and crude
Choreografed hatred
Earns me my applause
I am depending on them to lose
Anymore forgiven
You will get what you deserve and
Moreover forgotten
Never remembered
Nor redeemed
„Après nous le déluge.“

The ugliness of tarnished innocence
Who are you? Devils in bedside and
White robes on sinners crossing eyes, say
Is that what our eden was supposed to be?
Spit on, chewed up and thrown out
And now lovely embalmed
Get out of my limbs, my mouth
And my head________
As long as it's still on my neck
And splintering with savage thoughts
Of rupturing body mechanics
And such of what you call innocent
Now we are straying the streets,
Feasting on their abandonment
Yes it was us who scared you away
But I have to ask
„Who are we?“
Down with all you white clad demons
with your mocking, dreadful
Symbolisms, code words
And, first and foremost, alarm(s) [SIRENS]
Down with all you white clad demons
Your taunting words have been heard enough of
Yearning for you to finally leave me alone
As long as my thoughts are not becoming stale
Disguised as a normal, harmless inhabitant
Of this realm that you like to refer to as
„Perfectly uniform“
Hah.. (don't make me laugh)

When does this day come to an end?
What lies beyond that?
I have come to ask myself
Forcefully, the sadness
Thrives an grows more branches
Dreary and entirely ugly
Alternating between fears and shades
Out to the fairest of them all, of them all
This punishment follows me wherever I go
Drown out the brightness that is giving me a headache
Delusive and tempting
I lay down my weapons
Help… I am tired
My shield crumbles apart
Thrust your monarchy into me
Dress me in silk and deliver me from pain
I wish you'd have found something loveable about me
Dedicated to you these words dwell inside me
And when my time has come to face the guillotine
Take out my heart and pierce it with silverware

Lifelessness
04:58

Welcome… To this mere existence on our behalf
This time for now I would love to show you around:
Nothingness, ruinously overwhelming and rotting commonsense
Sticking to us
Our empty shells of human canvas painted by another artist
Fearing that you gave my life continuity (acute directions),
Purpose and a meaningful escapism
Aimlessly I now roam the quiet frozen city
Tiring at best, relentless above the rest
To this day I am haunted
Waking up feels like returning from the dead
Breathing in feels like clawing nails into my lungs
Repeatedly, lifelessly
While you normally exist, I will be slowed down
By disturbances that you just caused (Unfair? Accusatory?)
The darkness that he brings is one
That crawls beneath your skin and
Piles up on top of your bones
Morbidly evacuated actors,
How the fuck did you get out of this damn place?
Curse you, you healthiest of them all

Tidal Dawn
10:35

What's next in this circus of absurdities?
A clown who paints himself a grieving face
All we do, grinning and baring ourselves
To all of our attackers
Masking as baits,
Distracting ourselves, and
Playing the dumb, innocent prey
Is what seems the most accurate
No, what we agreed on
Was by far the better choice
Becoming predators and stars
Aspiring to be deceived
In order to get fully healed
Why do I feel incomplete without my pills?
May dawn come over us again
Let salvation and purity rain upon our faces
As putrid as they are
What we need is oblivion
As well as some mercy
Eyeing our dignity
Or rather, what remained of it
By all means…
The nature of catastrophies
Inflicting pain
Trying to help in vain
This might be a downward spiral
We could be dead by nightfall
Molesting with just our words
Affected by waking up
This desolate world
The sun bled her boiling blood on the dirty sidewalks
In the fire of your inner tundra my vitreous heart…
You smashed it, now give me yours to devour.
Disastrous and sear
This once so fertile soil nourished our starving bodies
Where have we been taken to in our sleep?
Caress the wounds you used to strike
The tidal dawn went unnoticed by our unwanted fight
The sun bled her boiled blood on the sidewalks
