Our Nightmares Are the New Normal 12:26
lyrics
buy track
I step to the curb A fleet of cars passing Perpendicular The memories flashing Questions arise worst answers given The features i despise The failing light glinting Feeling my weeping as it flows from healing Bleeding, seeping, as it leads to keeling Over my dead body i scream, as i step out Gather about to show the last moments The last shout I feel the pull The sirens call she whispers quietly fade and fall Digging into me, a mourning wage Getting me to write the final page Feeling my weeping as it flows from healing Bleeding, seeping, as it leads to keeling Over my dead body i scream, as i step out Gather about to show the last moments The last shout One may speed The other may slow Questioning which one will let me go The burdens lifted and the past no more insults and knives from memories before Feeling my weeping as it flows from healing Bleeding, seeping, as it leads to keeling Over my dead body i scream, as i step out Gather about to show the last moments The last shout I take a minute I take a breath I step out pray that I am allowed to flee Feeling my weeping as it flows from healing Bleeding, seeping, as it leads to keeling Over my dead body i scream, as i step out Gather about to show the last moments The last shout is a deafening silence.

I know you see vermin in me I'm the devil you need me to be I lie right through my teeth I am the rat suck on your teet Steal all the milk to feed the babies Bite your heel and give you rabies I'll suck it dry and steal the food Bleed you dry, problem ensued I'm the vermin I'm the thorn in your side The third man In a marriage abide I'm a rat, a pest One to be murdered in suspect Don't jest You'd bury me if you had the chance I'm done playing this like you don't know what's up I'm done being this fucker that says yes and doesn't show up I'm done being on the up and up but always away Holed up in my room until the pain goes away I'm the vermin I'm the thorn in your side The third man In a marriage abide I'm a rat, a pest One to be murdered in suspect Don't jest You'd bury me if you had the chance Vermin that's what I am A parasite, money pit My world is a sham I'm the waste of shit Subject of the world's ire It seems that I am The One with the deadest of dreams Might as well sleep now in your burning fire Cause this parasite deserves it I'm the vermin I'm the thorn in your side The third man In a marriage abide I'm a rat, a pest One to be murdered in suspect Don't jest You'd bury me if you had the chance Ungrateful reprobate Unholy Degenerate Depressed Deprecated! Decapitated I aint a martyr! Make this life Ever harder! Antichrist! Satan! In the flesh! Lying, Destroyer! Sadist! Demon worshiping Apologist! Heretical, sinful! the taint you fear! I know you see the vermin in me I'm the devil you need me to be I lie right through my teeth I'm the rat sucking on your teet Stealing all the milk to feed the babies Bite your heel and give you rabies I'll suck it dry and steal the food Bleed you dry, problem ensued I'm a vermin! Kill me like you must Degenerate! Stomp me into dust Communist! I'm a liar and a thief Anarchist! I bite and have teeth Ich bin die entartete Kunst! I'm the vermin I'm the thorn in your side The third man In a marriage abide I'm a rat, a pest One to be murdered in suspect Don't jest You'd bury me if you had the chance Do what you must, ready to go I am vermin this all we know Ear is Bleeding Earache screechings the worst bleedings scum of earth My death will cause the healing stop the air I’ve been stealing wasted breath, ramblings and feeling Leading your kin to be dead and dealing Go to your priests begin the kneeling pray for the worst, my fate is sealing My ending from the ceiling No more shrieks No more screaming I'm the vermin I'm the thorn in your side The third man In a marriage abide I'm a rat, a pest One to be murdered in suspect Don't just jest You'd bury me if you had the chance

The Dead 07:35
lyrics

The dead are walking among the living Bereft of life and unforgiving The dead are walking among the living The ones that are dead and missing Searching for a way out Can't speak nor shout Lest they hear and come about Tearing me apart, dead en route Crawl and scrape my legs Quietly giving live begs Stepping silent, foot on peg Can't make a crunch, lest it turn to a powder keg The dead are walking among the living Bereft of life and unforgiving The dead are walking among the living The ones that are dead and missing The undead, they never cease Never a moment, never peace The quiet, they're roaming constant queasy The seconds of peace, rather measly Rare and piecey, pricey for what I see That death is on my doorstep and he's coming for me! The dead are walking among the living Bereft of life and unforgiving The dead are walking among the living The ones pronounced dead and missing Bullets never kill, they only stop They'll get back up, they're always on top A small reprieve, a perfect getaway For a minute, for a chance to live another day Slow as they come, but outnumbered over to 1 Got a way out, but I'll become one of them, I've got the gun, I'm done, Goodbye, I love you, Hun Rested and void Food for the toyed Diseased and rotting amalgamations of flesh Walking cadavers Hands like daggers Feast upon the remains And the stilled veins The dead are walking among the living Bereft of life and unforgiving The dead are walking among the living The ones pronounced dead and missing

Call of the Void 10:52
lyrics

I feel that call of the void The screaming silence Deafened cries of idle hands I feel that call of the void The deafened violence Screamed and destroyed Of the children left I feel that call of the void The screaming silence Deafened cries Of The life I left destroyed A blank stare A blinding fog Soulless stripped bare Drowning in the bog Drip feeds turn to downpour I am masked by the haze Made nothing by the roar The storm lasting days I feel that call of the void The screaming silence Deafened cries of idle hands I feel that call of the void The deafened violence Screamed and destroyed Of the children left I feel that call of the void The screaming silence Deafened cries of idle hands Of The life I left destroyed The weariness blinds me The echoes past swim violently Repeating and ever presenting Dreams are simply reality A rest i crave, quench this hungering pain The only absolution to save This world consumed and vain I feel that call of the void The screaming silence Deafened cries of idle hands I feel that call of the void The deafened violence Screamed and destroyed Of the children left I feel that call of the void The screaming silence Deafened cries of idle hands Of The life I left destroyed The fog is isolating A memory becomes the water Steadily disintegrating mother separated daughter (sung in half time) Names are fleeting and faces are gone My name is nothing My days are done I feel that call of the void The screaming silence Deafened cries of idle hands I feel that call of the void The deafened violence Screamed and destroyed Of the children left I feel that call of the void The screaming silence Deafened cries of idle hands Of The life I left destroyed Everything is vain Distracting disintegrating Washed by the rain To judgement, debating No future to be seen A past simply forgone A corpse and casket scene The minutes become taunt I feel that call of the void The screaming silence Deafened cries of idle hands I feel that call of the void The deafened violence Screamed and destroyed Of the children left I feel that call of the void The screaming silence Deafened cries of idle hands Of The life I left destroyed Only in dreams do I rest They are fleeting, worthlessness! My heart may be beating But the time ticks away the grains of what's left of my sand. Beaches have turned to dust The calm has turned to storms I’m no longer subject to life’s lust!

Abandoned 09:09
lyrics
buy track
Drawn to nothingness And nothingness persists Eternal solitude For the void walking in Sorrow fills my eyes My face as red as the blood wept Shed, torn, as I'm inept Sickness burdens my feet God has abandoned me Such little faith for the punished God has abandoned me cruel act for the God of Abraham God has abandoned me Such little faith for the punished God has abandoned me Why God have you forsaken me? Loneliness persisting And the mocking from others The supposed help Continues constantly Say I deserve the wrath I've taken the wrong path That I need to fast Only way I'll be able to last God has abandoned me Such little faith for the punished God has abandoned me A cruel act for the God of Abraham God has abandoned me Such little faith for the punished God has abandoned me Why God have you forsaken me? The void calls my name with every second pass Food for the worms Subject of ire for the daily mass My mother's womb has forgotten me Brothers have become cadavers Food for the furthering botany Mind like Jacob's ladder God has abandoned me Such little faith for the punished God has abandoned me A cruel act for the God of Abraham God has abandoned me Such little faith for the punished God has abandoned me Why God have you forsaken me? Leave me to the wolves Scavenging, starving, to eat Digging my grave holes Daily hated, then I'm beaten Life has turned to dust I am a burden to a world I shall do what I must My body hurled into the mouth of the leviathan that shall end my pitiful existence God has abandoned me Such little faith for the punished God has abandoned me A cruel act for the God of Abraham God has abandoned me Such little faith for the punished God has abandoned me Why God have you forsaken me?

about

The name of this album is inspired by a recent visit that I had to the ER to be put on suicide watch for a couple days and this statement, the longing for rest, being tired of life, was rampaging through my damaged mind as I silently cried myself to sleep in the triage, unable to shower, and smelling as I would if I had gone through the act and given in to my intrusive thoughts.

The lyrics of these songs delve into my struggles with maintaining my life as it stands. From the "Call of the Void", the self-belittling and embracing of degeneracy in the song Vermin, this confessional and unfiltered record was difficult but an incredible display of therapeutic ventilation.
