Barbed wire, blood and rust

Consume pain, return to dust

Come eat your fill and return to your hole

Donning my mask forced play out your role

Passenger, discern our course

Hold the reigns, break in the pale horse

So come and get it

Suffocate, hold your breath

Choose to live, welcome death

Violent delights and violent ends

Loving my demons and making amends

Never if, and ever when

Flee the now, and stay in then

Did you get it

So say I, unto thee, so shall it, ever be

That hole in your soul, that scratch you cannot itch

That cinder of a thought, that makes your eye twitch

Appease a monster under a fluorescent sky

One and the same, as my conspirator

Of steel and screams, an inheritor

Stumbling down a bloodstained corridor

Screams of sleep while I'm waking

Convictions drawn from mistaking

Lost in this maze, of my own making

I left a trail back out, but chose to stay

An iron taste when I shout, drawn from human clay

A choice I wouldn't be without, heavy does it weigh

Running from nothing disguised as myself

Sickening secrets you keep to yourself

Running from nothing disguised as yourself

Sickening secrets I keep to myself
