Gloom and the Art of Tribulation

Trauma sets in

Mesmerised by the abyss I created

Swallowed hole by the darkness that lives within me

Architect of my spiritual undoing

Lover to misery

Oh sweet suffering, silently slithering

Remove me from this earth, this empty shell that is me

A deadly construct, the gnawing mistrust

Into the darkness I descend

Oh sweet suffering, perfectly crippling

A sewer of waste, toxic thoughts ingrained

Pestiferous, obnoxious, erroneous

Into the abyss I descend

A petty deprivation, this constant need for validation

Deceitful nature is imposed

An apocrypha, immoral

Deceitful nature exposed

Ever-growing desperation sinking me to my lowest lows

Remove me, violently

Total exacerbation, the stench of despair

Remove me, silently

Devious manipulation, constant need for validation

Deceitful nature imposed

I can no longer perceive who I am in this maze

True nature exposed

Knife to my throat, is this my way out?

Mesmerised by the abyss I created

Swallowed hole by the dark that lives within me

Architect of my spiritual undoing

Lover to misery

Gloom and despair, the art of tribulation

Gloom and despair, seductive damnation

Gloom and the stench of death

Unworthy of fixing, mental rot

Gloom and the lure of death

Unworthy of fixing, mental rot

Remove me, end me

Remove me from hell

Remove me, end this

From this tremulous fear, the intoxicating deep

Remove me, take me from tribulation

Remove me, take me from desperation

Remove me, end this

From this tremulous fear, the intoxicating deep

Ever growing desperation sinking me to my lowest lows

Remove me, violently

Total exacerbation, the crippling state of depression

Remove me, silently
