from the silence
of the void
to the violence
of birth
from the warmth
of a mother
to the cold
of the earth
breathe the air
in my lungs
feel the pulse
of my blood
feel the whole
of my body
resonating
with love
be
here
now

take my head
hold me down
stick your fingers
in my mouth
fill my throat
make me sick
cover me
in your spit
show me love
show me love
show me love
show me love
cut through me
exsanguinate
all desire
i’m just a void
bite my tongue
with your kiss
bruise my skin
with your fist
show me that
i exist
fuck me til
i forget
show me love
show me love
show me love
show me love
cut through me
exsanguinate
all desire
i’m just a void

i don’t recognize myself
this body disgusts me
just flesh, blood, shit, and piss
i’m a walking disease
yearn to castrate sensation
i deny myself
human animal staring back
I look into its eyes
but there’s nothing there
this hate courses through my blood
its stench on my breath
crawl through this fucking life
waiting for my death
yearn to castrate sensation
i deny myself
human animal defies its nature
i look into its eyes
but there’s nothing left

Lower Than Life
02:24
|

the cameras focus
the vacant stare
the awful hiss
of escaping air
serrated knife
severs the head
bleeding out
in violent red
a child’s body
blown apart
held together
in mother’s arms
the hands of God
smeared in shit
a prayer for mercy
a death that’s quick
the temptation to exist
(lower than life)
a universal emptiness
(lower than life)
cities gutted
and left to burn
to be forgotten
the world keeps turning
nature’s indifference
uninterrupted
we’re voyeurs of
our own destruction
no hell below
no heaven above
to radiate
eternal love
God is a sadist
down on your knees
pray for mercy
beg for release
the temptation to exist
(lower than life)
a universal emptiness
(lower than life)

No Exit

this awful body
captive to this life
the nausea of being
thrusts in like a knife
press my face to the wall
beat my fists at the wall
isolation drowns out this feeling
i see no way out
an act of surrender
i can no longer pretend
this cycle of failure
is a means to an end
the void beckons us all
i don't fear it at all
desperation strips life its meaning
I see no way out

consumed
powerless
confined by excess
useless conquests
define our success
war makes brave men
we enforce discipline
to own is our innate desire
in uniform
rank and file
occupy the target
assimilate the culture
war never ends
take an eye
for an eye
rich men rise
like scum of the earth
flaunt their God’s money
what is it worth?
shameless lap dogs
beg for more
swallow your tongue
what is it for?

come put your knife in me
fuck without empathy
you give me what i need
punish the whore in me
pitiless world of rape
love offers no escape
you make me someone else
I’m nothing to myself
empty your hate in me
i’ll be your property
down on my hands and knees
begging for your disease
a greedy mouth to suck
your filthy hole to fuck
a shadow of a man
erase all that i am

Ubik

mind and body, tethered to each moment
unaware of the constant dissolution
spilling out into a blank horizon
i recognize
familiar patterns
days become years
by force of habit
arms outstretched
into the chasm
time is a phantom
always receding
this sedentary life
offers no meaning
i feel restless
pacing the cage
disconnected
wasting away
i can’t remember
i can’t remember
not feeling this way
i can’t remember
i can’t remember
not feeling this way
i can’t remember

Todestriebe

open my body
expose what’s inside me
no soul burning brightly
where is it hiding?
just this animal instinct
a cycle repeating
a primitive function
a drive toward destruction
life is an error
a violent transgressor
recoiling in terror
in the face of forever
time’s fatal arrow
pierces the marrow
surrender my body
let death inside me
staring down my executioner
puts the gun to my head
raises the hammer
staring down my executioner
the moment of impact
echoes forever
