The Poison Of Self Confinement

by Blistered

/
1.
Are your empty threats Enough to keep you warm at night paint yourself a brooding madman you're a weak child hide behind your mask of strength afraid to admit your frailty pull you under taste your pain crush your spirit seal your fate snap the thread by which you hang
2.
Numb to your praise Immune to your poison promise guard my heart shelter my soul I shed my skin and clothe my form with stone shackled by your false hope no longer this heart of ice beats no longer calloused now forevermore I renounce my flesh I renounce my pain I renounce your touch I damn your soul forever I'd rather feel numb than the slings and arrows of agony I'd rather feel nothing than feel your scorn
3.
Concrete walls surround my sorrow An abysmal disconnect disillusioned from the world, eternity in solitude To stare at the sky and wait no longer for an embrace that never comes Such warmth was never afforded to me encase myself in shadow, cling tight to solitude swallow now the poison of self confinement
4.
As I grasp what little promise tomorrow holds I feel it start to crumble in my hands I am destined for nothing Bound only for a silent death this world will soon forget my name As I decay I leave this world with nothing I am no martyr I am a faceless name I am nothing but a whisper silenced by the sands of time the promise of glory is comfort for a fool and I forsake this illusion of destiny
5.
Lash 02:28
As you turn the other way and refuse my plea for guidance I am overcome with waves of hate do I lash out at you, or lash out at myself? deface myself with this blade with each slash pain replaces my shame the sting of the razors edge tears away at me but how can I cut deep enough to cleanse my soul you bask in contentment while I suffer in agony your eyes divert and sink in shame there is no honor in self destruction but it is not honor I seek I grasp in the dark searching only for a release to bear the stings of life no longer I beg for sleep
6.
Bastard, Traitor Suffer by my hand Clench my fists and curse your name Bastard, Traitor make you feel my torment break you as you've broken me behind your smile a serpents tongue inside your heart a rotten core i swing this torch at the web of lies you weave forever i reject your false embrace declaration of war i mark you as my enemy i will not rest until I satisfy my lust for vengeance
7.
I spit in the face of your forgiveness I deny your outstretched hand and your bargain for peace Cast from paradise for my refusal to comply A kingdom full of traitors, a death mark for each one I will rot in the cold before I compromise myself for asylum in your four walls I will storm the gates of your perfect world and spill the blood of every turncoat Every traitor marked for death
8.
The time has come to wash my hands of you Separate myself from the pain I have no words to speak Only scores to settle Only memories to burn Now I kneel and torch the pain Watch it cease to be Stand absolved before the flames As the ashes melt away
9.
So many moonless nights I've stood afraid to choose Between surrender to the darkness And fighting on into the dying light Darkness is silence A painless final exit I take a final stand And regain the will to be No longer cowering in fear This is a declaration Destruction of the ties that bind Afraid no longer of this life Forward now into the dying light
10.
Death at heavens doorstep You turn the other cheek You turn the blindest eye while they suffer at your feet blind your eyes deafen your ears to the cries of the tormented Death at heavens doorstep deny it till your end when all other life has perished your throat will feel the reapers hand
