Soul Erosion

by Blistered

1.
Rusted 02:53
I'll wipe my mind of the memories I will destroy your legacy Page by page cast into the raging fires of contempt I await the day when your flesh and earth become one And I will be there, vindicated With eyes shut tight as a hero you are venerated Standing upon this pedestal built on our backs I never saw the real you I never saw your flaws I never saw the rust and rot behind your thin veneer Lightning strikes and sets fire to your facade Your porcelain beauty cracks and breaks Your vanity bears weight no longer I cast you down Your power is denied Your soul is rusted Your guts are rotten I weep for the time I wasted Believing you were a hero Hours, Days, Weeks, and Months Pissed away I tear down statues in your image I crush them now beneath my feet

Another dream about descent into the grave I struggle now to shake myself awake The rope swings like a pendulum Each second fades away I wake, It brings me deliverance from pain I burn the noose I spread the ashes But the shadows still wrapped tight around my neck I must fight back the urge to take my life Life does not satisfy
3.
Retribution 01:45
Stroke your ego while you can Because soon it will be smashed to pieces Build yourself up by objectifying those you love You've made them pawns in a power struggle The words you speak are sparks They'll set fire to your throne Too drunk with power To leave it behind I'll watch you burn There will be retribution in this life or the next I'll take back what you stole from me I'll watch you burn
4.
Bound by the coldest blood I detest your name as I set fire to this family tree And with the burning embers I brand myself anew These family ties are cut and left to decay I deny your blood I deny your coldest blood I slash my wrists to drain myself of the blood that bonds us It binds me to you I choose death Over a life shackled to your name Drain myself of this coldest blood I hang myself from the branches of this crooked family tree Slash my wrists to drain myself of of the blood that bonds us I choose death over a life shackled to your name

Soul Erosion 02:56
Soul erosion Hearts destruction Disintegration of the self Soul Erosion Hearts Destruction There's no compromise I won't be extinguished I'll fight to stay alive As the blanket of uniformity Seeks to douse the flame inside How can I see whats burned into my soul Denial of my hearts desire Leaves my body ground to dust Deliver me from compromise The thing I fear the most Surrender of the self Erosion of the soul
