Fracture 03:15
Every synapse fires in acceptance of a distant truth My concept of self, pulled out at the roots A frail voice inside my mind Begs for release Twisting inside of me The smallest fractures in my body lead to collapse Falter underneath the impact of careless steps Pieces of my life defined by loss and regret Returning moments and recurring thoughts In a twist of fate Whispers grow And cut their way out of my skull Threatened by the memories of who i used to be I search inside myself And find an empty space Where peace should rest Trapped in a dream I’d give anything to forget I count the days as they pass Retreated from the coldest stares Self descending as i turn my back, Consuming any light I’m not afraid to die I’ve lost my will to fight
2.
Sew my eyes shut so I can’t see an Illusion i just can’t comprehend A thousand different images that i’ll never erase from my memory a thousand reasons why i’ll never trust again I can feel it Ripping/Pulling/Tearing At every aching bone An unspoken thought I can feel it Every broken promise tortures my soul Lay me on a bed of nails and I’ll call it home I engrave your betrayal and peel back flesh To expose these braided veins that carry every ounce of sorrow Tortured by every breath I take Desperation creeping in Light fades Infected wounds never heal They turn black and rot away with anger and despair Leaving scars in complex patterns of hatred in their place It’s never enough to forget
3.
Overtaken by a sickness You have allowed to spread Paranoia bleeding through your skin Guilt flows through your veins Corroding every artery Heaven on earth Is out of reach I call your name In an act of desperation Insects in your mind begin to swarm Every emotion awake When convenience strikes You shift the blame on me Twisted and frayed, Your reflection blurs my own One moment of weakness is all it takes a temporary lapse of strength I watch you fall frame by frame to your death Carried to earth by crooked wings Twist the truth to match your mangled image You are fraying at the edges An enemy to yourself Acts of aggression are nothing more than cries for help I will weaponize the pain you’ve caused to free myself
4.
A complex image is reflected in your self An outdated concept defined by fear I bite down my tongue to hold back rage What did I do to deserve this? I’ll never forget how I felt So weak and worthless I don’t have the strength to forgive Every empty promise spat from your mouth my inheritance of shame I’m drowning in doubt The pain never fades It only slips away A sad excuse for a man Burning in your selfishness No where else to turn A life once cherished, rotting in dirt I question myself day to day Was I enough to love? I tore myself apart to give you all i’ve got Forfeit your life No strength to forgive Shattered memories Splinter into visions of hostility The pain never fades It only slips away

Living in fear, dying in vain Desensitized Gasping for air Fighting for life Reaping a harvest From poisoned soil Stagnant; torn In the name of corrupt ideals Encased in glass Allowed to exist Thriving selfishness There is blood on our hands From the casualties of our own ignorance Despite our so called progress History repeats in cycles The body count has become The currency of power Desensitized We suffocate Gasping for air Encased in glass We suffocate The days drag on The walls close in Born into fear To die in vain Vessels to carry the pain Living in fear and too weak to fight, We’re complicit through our apathy Dying for nothing Everything will burn In a war of ideals This sickness will be purged Everything will burn in cleansing fire
7.
Take your pain as my own, Let it seep through every pore as it consumes me I’d give all I have to feel my nerves burning with the pain of loss. My selfishness has become A conduit to your suffering, The needle under nail. Seething The disappointment felt within yourself; projections of all your greatest flaws Fear, doubt, grief and regret Drain this blood from my veins It carries resentment Remnants of the pain I felt Now calloused and cold A shell of my former self Let go and forget The agony and unrest Relieve yourself of the Fear, doubt, grief and regret I am numb to the ache Numb to the sadness Numb to the misery Drain this blood from my veins it carries resentment remnants of the pain i felt I am numb Numb to sadness Numb to the misery
8.
Forced words of remorse sear my throat, as embers of empty apologies turn to ashes at your ears Incinerating my will to compromise Your visage mirrored across a thousand shards of broken glass Reflections of the victim you’ve made yourself to be Twisting every word into a blade, The edge of every lie you speak Carves and lacerates the truth from me A liars tongue in the mouth of a coward Blood will stain the path you take and remain as the grave of every choice you made
9.
Tear my skin Gouge my eyes Sever my tongue Scorch my nerves Disassemble Relieved of form in favor of peace A replicant figure of silent release Disassemble Another body A frame, an empty shell Another home Where my spirit dwells
10.
Worse days are coming I can see it in your stare We feel resentment start to settle Disintegrating a day at a time Foundations crumble Before my eyes I am a well for you to draw from Far past capacity Under the surface I decay Cracks in your frame precede a flood of regret Panic twists its shape beneath the surface Fear grows in inches And shatters me into fragments of a whole I can’t allow to bloom Hands worn raw From holding onto hope that things could change I’ll push you away for your own sake And try to find peace in the wreckage No trust left in myself The sun will cauterize our wounds in time Parts of a whole have shattered into jagged and serrated shards Cutting me open as i struggle to hold them together A thousand incisions will bleed me slow enough For me to watch every passing moment of regret in my mind Grow into months and years of bitterness though it comes at a price I’ll find peace when i close my eyes In knowing that without me You will find a better life The sun will cauterize our wounds in time At the cost of sacrifice
