Self-Schism Lyrics


Lord of the irons, yet master of none.

White hot from the pyre, but the damage

is done.

The wax has melted; reveal the wick within

Begin total bisect. My fingers grip the skin.

Blood flows downward when the nails dig in.

Scalp detaches; bregmatic cranial split.

Self-Schism: The last chance of escape.

Devour the hours until darkness is left

The mind exposed so the illness can drain.

Hemispherical rupture; cerebral chasm remains.

Let division continue. Palates and ribs break.

Organ partition fall to feed the snakes.

Self-Schism: The last chance of escape.

Devour the hours until only darkness is left.

Only darkness is left.

Pace slips from my life.

Dread consumes.
