I’ve reached, the apex of my boredom, I’ve RSVP’d with a no to my own funeral What good does it do me, to just be complacent, To be a replacement, To never even try (never try) The sleepless nights Spent plotting my escape I have the key, but cannot find the gate (find the gate) There’s no such thing as an atheist foxhole, but goddammit here we are There are no easy answers, there are no second chances There is only regret in the rearview, of your backwards glances This victory rings hollow and empty, there is so much more to go, there is so much more Destitute, I won’t give in to this No not again this is my cross to bear this is my weighted anchor I won’t let go I hold on with all I’ve got

We have no use, for people like you you’ve been found out You’ve been compromised Now we know what you’re all about Nothing at all You lack substance and depth you’re not a part of this and you never will be You fake piece of shit You lack conviction, a cheap parlor trick, superficial and weak With no roots, no integrity you grab onto the coattails of whatever is popular And nothing rings true All of your empty words don’t mean a thing, this is not about you
3.
My skin crawls, my stomach turns in knots Will I ever get past the point where I can just write this whole thing off So full of wasted promise, so full of wide eyed regret Annihilate Whats left of rationale Burning every bridge to the fucking ground Nothing good will ever come from not heeding my own advice And all this time, I've told myself That I should let you in I was so wrong, so heres to never again I'm severing all ties, heres to never again The moment you realize that no one will help you, I wont be there Wasn't this inevitable, that we'd end up cutting each others throats A lifetime spent in ruin, to end up dying alone.
4.
So far removed from the tranquil surroundings of your home I’ve dragged you, through the woods in the middle of the night, to open you up They’ll never find you, when I get through, and when I’m through with you you’ll be ripped to shreds Food for the animals, a lifeless former friend of mine You’ve stabbed me in the back, for the final time There are no excuses. only exit wounds A pool of blood, reflects the moon As I read aloud, a transcript of all your transgressions, you will beg for your life Every scream you expel, can not be heard This dull knife peels the flesh from your bones, and pours in the salt The last thing you see, the last thing you see as I take out your eyes Is your grave being dug, being lowered, as you’re buried alive
