lyrics

self-cleansing
shadows of remembrance, it's all coming back, vivid memories of my leap into the abyss. once separated, I feel your hand in mine, the darkness is creeping back into my spine. I once was lost inside your maze, driven only by self-hatred. the world to come, this empty gaze will become my baptism. beyond myself, your purgatory is all I have ever known. I despise myself for not being good enough, everything I own is grief and infuriation. fear is all I know, it controls every day, no matter what I do, I will fail and be robbed of everything that I love. this existence prevails with brutality. everything that I know is a farce. Life in itself (is) meaningless. illuminate me with your ease when I tumble towards the end. my own ambitions led astray, this subsistence - a fucking compromise. from time to time you glance at me from the bottom of the pit I threw you in. I rot inside this decaying husk, trapped with you, trapped with me. I once was free from your reign, purified and uncursed. bound to your wrath by this promise, I die again time and time again.
