Downcast (feat. Reilly Embrey)

The mistress of misery beckons at my bedside Her chilling grip sends shivers through the hip and down the spine Time after time I've fallen victim to her grayscale shine Monochromatic vision leaves me with a downcast mind I only see the dusk The light of the day is fucking foreign to me I'm a slave to the sins of my former self and these chains are weighing on me Consider this my tombstone eulogy; I welcome Death with open arms Spit in my face, spit on my grave. I've seen no recompense for all the effort that I gave And from the outside looking in it seems as though I've given up But I'm just at the point where I no longer give a fuck If dead men tell no tales They'll etch my story into stone with coffin nails I've been breathing in poison since birth Here lies a man destined for the center of Earth I hear the reaper calling Every single regret hangs like a noose on my head I've sewn my own lips shut with everything that I've said Damned myself to Hell with every word I misread The space in my chest where my heart should reside Is filled with countless disappointments and lies I give up How am I supposed to carry on when I'm worth less than carrion? Throw my remains to the wolves; send me to He with the hooves Every breath is thin, every thought is black, every touch leaves decay in its wake Every breath is thin, every thought is black, every wish ends with me in a coffin I know I'm breaking down with every day that I'm awake I'm praying that I'll be gifted with sleep in a box six feet closer to Hell I'm tired and weary, beaten and bruised from the constant fight inside myself I need a way out before I reach the point of no return
