alienation 03:53
glaring in the mirror at the alien thing the flesh that drapes it's bones beneath it lurks a ghost with my hate it's power grows this body is not home fingers reach for stomach mirror-thing does the same claws scratch for red beneath mirror thing bleeds release let it out pull it out let it out pull it out let it out pull it out

nosferatu 04:40
it eats alone it sleeps alone while it picks at the scabs that encrust it's skin it hopes to release what devours it sick eyes call it's skull their home taut flesh flinches at imagined touch just for surviving wracked with guilt and anything it tries to nurture wilts always tired it never sleeps enough painfully aware that it's life is a blight organs let go ghosts on the loose passes the time with dreams of the noose anxiety assaults it day and night

psychomancy 02:41
take this body that i hate with all of my energy take these feelings of dysphoria and fuel the power that i wield to enact my will upon this broken plane hear me call your long unspoken name crawl in me talk through me all that i am all i will become manifest make yourself whole conjunction complete the circle manifest make yourself whole conjunction complete the circle i call upon all that is wrong with me to stare in the mirror and grin dishonestly my veins course with outside influence pupils swell like Dionysus manifest manifest

erasure 04:04
the caged beast devours it's own sense of purpose it leaves it all ruined it feels itself worthless the wounded animal spreads black iron across the earth it tears all the bodies up from the dirt nothing left but empty graves dug from stale ash nothing left that we could save it was born alone it will die alone no good comes from faith and hope it will find its peace through a wreathe of rope
