I watched your mind cave in I watched your vision splinter I felt your whisper in the dark As the walls grow thinner As the walls grow thinner I saw your eyes contorting Taunting inquisition I watched you choke on misery And feed our confusion I felt your skin beneath the bone I watched you sprout hind legs A gift to see you free When god’s child has died And futures run free I watched your tears recoil I slept in a stranger’s arms I felt your skin beneath the bone I felt your mind cave in I see your love in the dark As the walls grow thinner I watched you burn to ash A gift to see you free

Pocket Seed 08:57
Bestial pangs brand us like pigs A vermin’s taste for cathartic bliss Severed utopia looms beyond a gorge of meat and fumes What you’ve waited for No moment like now Bleeding antrum under Killing moons An unending misery This body, this womb What you’ve cried for Sink your hand into mine Fading lantern under Dying moons The untended fate My conscience, my tomb Bury your suffering my son Bleed your memories clean Until the next dawn Your scent remains with me

Elesia 10:05
Black holy water You’re my poison in the well Like kindling in the prophecy A changeling at the knell They cower at its mercy Endowed with fatal lust Like all fettered children Bred to devour, dust to dust Prostrate victim, tool of the caliphate Castrate your christ Wrought disciple in its wake Arise unborn stalker Like kindling in the bait Death comes closer to me In each placid dream state Black holy water Like a shadow of the sun Cast my face in memoriam Sew my seed with a gun Prostrate victim, tool of the caliphate Castrate your christ Wrought disciple in its wake
5.
Pogroms 04:28
Mutual targets Elected fatal indifference Pogrom’s humane carcass Impaled in our defense Resign to fallen legions We were many but still died Enduring god’s affliction Refused a right to suicide Abhorrent defector Unleash your smile today Starving black traitor You’ll rot in sweltering rays Swollen mask of empathy Roaches pour from crowning lines A holy land’s breeding ground Of hypocritical lies A torso without legs A body without ties Vile ways to settle our debt When last rites are said Condemn your branded father Burning dead traitor Endure my sovereignty
6.
Afterbirth 05:34
Unremitting loss Smear your presence on the wall Light your desire like Cremation’s flame And pull the shortest straw What life becomes Is only worth an end Empty your pockets And justify their means Light your desire like Cremation’s flame Falter in its hallowed beam Engorging idyllic spleen Wilted beauty Harbinger of dying love From the flesh of meat gone foul Lick my conscience off the wall Wilted beauty Life born between its legs In the flesh of meat gone foul Is the pain of god’s last hour
7.
Grey Orchids 06:09
Control was pride When your love became My hunter Grey orchids at your feet Black heaven, we’ll suffer Melting hollow, smile cuts Through dead flesh Earthbound morrow comes To the soil, from the sun Grey orchids at your feet Obsession burns in effigy To see no end Oblong servant Twisting in its coil Your fate will be a gift To me, beyond your futile toil Inside you’ll writhe but comfort lies below In hell we see a fragment Of futures yet to sow Earthbound morrow comes To the soil, from the sun Grey orchids at your feet The world burns for everyone
8.
Infertile beloved Cast the first stone Build me a prison For all light that never shone Careening into prophecy Dead theories born of fear Dissecting true faith Our fragments bleed so we can start again so we can start again Infertile beloved Forge a carnal tomb We beckon vile fantasies Of dying in the womb Confronting twisted prophecies Dead vision born of fear Inseminated whore of nihil She’ll bleed for our survival for our survival
