Misconduct 05:05
For such a bright mind This is not how it was supposed to be But now we will have to see Where this path set before you will lead Fall down on your knees- beg forgiveness These words you shall obey Like that whore of a mother That led you astray “To protect and serve” has fallen short of what it once made sacred To take advantage of him and add to a cycle of hatred Left you here to rot alone This isn’t what you deserve Hungry eyes make you feel afraid They tell you all your life’s choices were the wrong ones to be made Breaking the back of integrity And your will Any means necessary- we have coffers to fill Lady Justice once fair judge Blinded- now she sees Color, wealth, associations Cause the scales to lean Someone has to bite the bullet It may as well be you A confession makes things easy Avoid the hell we’ll put you through Confess Brightness of the mind Reflected in your eyes Though the system is corrupted It has brought order to your life Shine through bottle-green depths Of soured air and ash Catalyzing Recreance This isn’t what you deserve Pushing and pushing- shut up Lady Justice once fair judge Blinded- now she sees Color, wealth, associations Cause the scales to lean

Misanthrope 04:53
Shut your fucking mouth I have no sympathy Hold your tongue before I rip it out of your mouth I don’t care I will never understand Why I seem to be this way It’s just the way I am I hate you all I hate everyone I hate things you say I hate your stupid problems Friends you make Lives you have made I need nothing more than to be left alone Sinking teeth into my flesh Slowly turn my heart to stone Worthless Maybe if you let me break some skin My teeth are screaming for some flesh to sink in Tell me now Tell me of your purpose A reason for existing Tell me of the god in all of us I swear to you I am listening But it doesn’t really matter- I won’t believe you anyway Leave me here to wallow Let me throw my fucking life away I don’t care anymore You are all a waste of time If I could leave this world Then that might leave me satisfied I don’t need your help I don’t need your pity Just leave me- I will find myself

Contra Mores 05:00
Each word- an inferno My tongue of fire The flames of hell burn fierce and purify Incompetence hangs from a tree A moral inversion King of Slaves will never rule me Now- what man has created Man can destroy I am my own redeemer I am predatory animal in fugue Blessed are the ones that doubt me Fires usher no deliverance From a construct built on fear In step with what is nothing more than a litany Of moral ambiguity As environments change No human thought stands sure Witness the end of all I know This is the end of all I know To feel the weight of the world Weighing on me How can I believe What I can’t see Our scars will show us who we are The way a man should truly be Giving to this world Despite the things it’s taken from me I will never see myself becoming what I can’t abide I will never be you because I know there is nothing inside Show me what you’re worth When everything has run its course And must return to the Earth
5.
You are a leech Feeding on me Dependent on others To create your personality You are a poison Dripping from my open veins Rotting my mind Leaving it in the rain And after all the things that we have been through The truth is I would rather have nothing than you I know You want my friends You want my family Your act is plain to see Nothing more than a utility In the end you will never be me Falling through the cracks you seem to not know who you are talking to You have no idea that the world doesn’t owe you anything Sever the bindings- Rot and fall away You want my friends You want my family I see through your transparency Writhing parasite Feeding on me An empty host- Patience wears thin You steal the face of another Because you don’t fit in your own skin

I’ll leave you stripped Bloody Devoid Just like the girl whose innocence you destroyed Destroy a life considered nothing but a carnal game You are the scum of the Earth that puts the human race to shame You have taken something precious Now I will do the same If your father could see you he would be rolling in his grave I’ll bury you if it’s the last thing I do I need to see you bleed Sending you to hell will be the closest thing to heaven That I will ever achieve Vermin behold My flesh is a cage for a rage I can’t control I have had this image painted in my head For quite some time The fruition of your demise Has met paper too many times I slither through the window One image in mind I see you splayed before me As she was before you I can’t help but start to fall apart As I think of the evil I am about to undue No soul Bleed through I need to feel you go cold The pleasure you got from watching her innocence rot Will be equaled in my new endeavor I must say my plan is clever Paint this image in your head Not soon to be forgotten
