Dysphoria

My perception rots
I'm cursed to bear the vision
The vision of what I'm not
Myself
Nothing
An incessant reminder
That I am not myself
I'm living a lie, and it's distorting the timeline
Anesthetize my mind
Free me from the shackles that are my eyes
Find what waits inside
The face in the glass doesn't coincide
Am I really alive
Or is it all just a nightmare until I die
There's nothing left to ease the pain
The fracture's been made
Between the lines I've contrived
A shallow sense of self to gain
It feels so tame
But the thoughts have aligned
Searching for a middle ground to deny
The bitter taste of decay on my mind
It haunts me to say that I'm fine
I can no longer hide
We often find ourselves sinking
In the mind of tragedy
When I glare into my reflection
A dysmorphic perception envelops the mind
This host wasnt meant for this life
I'm living a lie
We often find ourselves sinking
In the mind of tragedy
How can I mend my reflection
Break free from this dysmorphic perception
Before it all falls apart
Sinking deeper and deeper
Into the mind that succumbs to the delusion of perfection
This reflection will never bring to light
What stirs in the mind, so bright
Reject the order of creation
Revel in the annihilation of man as the image of god
Destroy
Plot designs of death
Disfigure the face of man
We often find ourselves sinking
In the mind of tragedy
How can I mend my reflection
And break free, from my dysphoria

I'll never find this again
The memories in my head I know they'll never die
These feelings I can't bring myself to express, they wont fucking subside
I was so short lived (it came and went)
Consumed by the dreams of what we could have been
I lost it all
By my very hand, lost but not forgotten yet
You had my heart, but I tore it apart
I've been trying to shift the blame to anyone but me
All this pain, I'm to blame, it was just a knee jerk reaction
The side effect of a heartbreak
There's nothing left, I've surely lost my motherfucking mind
shid
I lost count of the sacrifices I've made
Just to watch it wither away
I've kept it inside, no reason to lie
I'll regret this until the day that i die
I wanna die, you can see it in my eyes
It's black, it's never coming back, I've already tried
And cried, these efforts are useless
I sacrificed my heart, and it tore us apart
And it tore us apart
I'm fucking sick of this
You fucking sycophants
I'm done playing by the rules
it'll leave you in the dirt alone
Nothing can save you, I know
it's worthless
it'll just break your heart
I shouldve known from the start
There's nothing left to give
I'm lost
Forever
Forever lost
Forever lost within lucid reality

Nothing

I will die, before I can come to a compromise
These fucking lies I tell myself, "I swear to god I'm fine"
THeres nothing left but static, void of all life
I keep running away
I cant begin to describe
The guilt that plagues my mind as i try to take my life
Why do I express remorse in these convoluted thoughts of mine
I continue to justify
Theres nothing holding me back
And a grave force pushing me forth
Take the step
Tie the knot
Breathe, one last time
Before the end of your fucking life
it's your time
Time to die
Nothing, left inside
I feel nothing
But guilt from the pain I'll spawn
I'll slit my fuckig throat, a reminder I can still feel alive
(Nothing)
Plaguing my mind, I might as well end it all tonight
A rope in my sight tied tight
Nothing means anything, at all
The guilt begins to swallow me whole
my heart starts to fall
Nothing means anything, so why do I continue to breath when i can just drop dead?
Empty minded, I'm filled with existential dread (it's all in my head)
Nothing means anything, my soul remains tethered to the sum
Pieces are falling, i lust for whats to come
I'm getting tired of life, but I'm not a fan of suicide
Just let it go, make the pain slow
It burns like I'm neck deep in molten fucking rock
BLEEEEAAAAAGGGHHH

I've Dreamt of a Mirror
09:54
|

Open your eyes, let the light consume you
Embrace the feeling of the night that which will take you in
Your body begins to succumb to the mind
Leaving conciousness behind
You find yourself lost in lucidity
Though you're not awake
You'll never escape
Embrace the nightmare turned reality
Open my eyes, I find myself face to face with myself
A mirror, the centerpiece of this claustrophobic space
I feel its embrace, though I can't seem to find
a way to escape my own mind
The walls start to close in around me
Any chance of escape is astounding
I push with all my might
Or i'll never get a chance to see the other motherfucking side
Of the broken mirror
This pressure wont seem to subside
Breaking down the walls
Breath becomes intoxicating
I can't seem to find
A way to escape my own mind
Darkness consumes me
Just as the light before
My subconcious drifting away
My life starts to fade
Into obscurity
Nothing before me
I open my eyes, granting me mortality
Seeping out of the blurry haze
Broken glass, in my eternal gaze
Blood adorns the walls around me
A familiar scene, awakens me
My reflection through the glass
A vicious cycle, never to pass
As you open your eyes
You're soon to understand
You're in a cycle, a maze, of endless torment and fear
The clock is ticking
Your time is running out
Soon you'll come to see, the light is not what you hope it to be
Why must this be happening to me
I can't seem to find a way out of my mind
The walls begin to close in again
I look up, and it catches my eye
I reach for the stars, and pray for my life
Lost in my mind
Not sure what i'll find
There's surely a way to break free to the light
Run towards the night
Run towards the light
Run towards the night
Run towards the light
Overwhelmed with sensation, the light consumes me
I've escaped the space but entered seclusion
Seeking solace in a new world around me
Eyes wide open, engulfed by the night
It seems that I'm in an empty vessel once more
An open space, with bodies lined up door to door
The light goes black, theres no going back
Venture forth, so I can find a way out of my mind
Breathing becomes nauseating the deeper I find myself in this nightmare
I trek forth, my vision starts to tunnel as
my throat opens up
Air is rushing out of my lungs
The pressure builds as the worms crawl up through my cavity
Oh my god
Every second feels like eternity
I can't breath
It's taking over me
I look to the ground and find
A lifeless body, that appears to be mine
Smoke fills the air, as the stench of death lingers in despair
How could this be? I lie before me
I've dreamt of a mirror but it shattered me
Finding solace as i escape my mind
Release me now, a noble sacrifice
Free me from this mortal coil
And as you close your eyes, one last time
You've come to find, your only escape lied within the confines of your own mind
You chose to vanquish in your own suffering
Breathe, one more breath
One last time
Embrace your death
Close your eyes
My heart stops
Suffocating
I've found peace
In escaping my mind
