Grief

by Residuals

/
1.
I'm rotting from the inside out, and all I feel is nothing I'm rotting away from this town, and all I feel is nothing I ain't got no room to move feel like I've been buried alive enclosed in a casket underneath the earth I feel like I am dead, but I don't feel like I am hurt fake smiles crawl across my face like worms this is not where I belong, not here these worms will never leave

Despair 03:39
oh I thought it was important, these wolves among the sheep "no, it's only their misfortune we've got what all the men will call their king" I've seen it from the top of everything where our peaks can reach the stars way up here there's lots of wings black and tattered and filled with scars "liar!" I too have seen where dreams get put to sleep and let me tell you, it sure ain't pretty I long to be where I can rest my feet for I am splitting at the stitching, at the seams this is not all it's made out to be it's filled with despair and defeat nothing else matters nothing else is sadder than being here

Rupture 02:16
what have you done with your life? you're walking backwards, you're hypnotized what have you done with your life? you're looking backwards, you're hypnotized we all get to walk some day some choose to crawl in other legs we all stand too tall some days the higher you are, the harder you fall
4.
Subsistence 03:16
drowning and I don't know how to swim but I won't see the ocean's floor pick myself back up again and as I close my eyes, I think to myself "at this moment, I feel abandoned again isolated from everybody that I called a friend, I'm alone, scared and insecure, it was promised to me there was so much more than this" she said "why the long face kid? you're looking kind of blue" I don't recall just who I am, and I don't know what to do sometimes it feels like the weight of the world is on my shoulders, and the pain in my words will remain unheard
5.
Patriarch 02:59
waiting for something, watching the clock watching it all fade away I told myself I wouldn't let me do this again I'm hanging on your every word, I'm a mess what should I expect from you? even when I'm sleeping, I'm keeping one eye open waiting for something, something to happen I've stayed awake through countless nights still there is nothing I'm greeted by the rising sun I'm greeted by disappointed I've stayed here for so long, frozen in this moment I am frozen in the moment can't tear myself away from the gruesome scene displayed before me, it's cold and grey the woman wept, heavy breathing a cruel world, so misleading now I stand alone a ghost will forever roam inside my head, inside my brain in everything
6.
Identity 02:38
we're taking days in shades of grey cause I can't stand across a sea we're making faith from earth and clay just give them heat, they'll surely break we're always missing the point blindly committed to what we've mistaken for joy everything shines so brightly everything bound so tightly it breaks we fall and crumble apart foundations of pillars of salt come crashing down we are not holy we are not forever
7.
For Joy 02:06
These nights are so hard, These days are scars, withholding memories of Nights spent in the dark You by my side, unyielding. You dream of our children, with your face, the features of angels and eyes just like mine. Flightless, my feathers are plucked and burnt, As you soar away. I'll live my life in your shadow. I'll tear out my insides, To keep you from tying these knots in my gut. My wings are scorched. My flesh is torn.
8.
Harpy... 10:47
filled with hate I loathe it all my eyes are red, my fists are balled I'm never coming home, for a home I never had so I'll scream, I'll scream til I can scream no more then I'll scream and piss and puke some more soon I'll be nothing, soon I won't exist I said I loved you I could've sworn it was true I gave you my heart you only gave me the blues we'd say "through hell and back" but let's be honest darling I'd rather stay in hell than be anywhere near you you make hell seem like heaven, you scum of the earth you're cruelly malicious you make me sick ...
