Spitting Teeth

this nest reeks of disease
soaked with mites and fleas
this nest is a room you’ll never leave
beak dripping with bile
scavenge scraps of denial
refuse to settle in
sloughing feathers and skin
cryptic slaughterer
I know you fear me
cryptic slaughterer
I know you hear me
I’ll watch you decay
this is your debt, now repay
I’ll rip fragile skin, you’ll always be my prey
tumors ulcerate
languish and stagnate
sludge seeps from your pores
I’ll smile and wait
bending bones that splinter as you tremble
everything you dread
clasps its fingers ‘round your throat
spectre of greed
with a kiss so tender
self worshiper
stop praying
your avarice
earns you no pity
desecrate your vows
squander innocence
I would watch you burn
but that takes too much time

Ashen Scabland

you wear your shield of crust
face creased with years of rust
ribcage filled with cement
two decades of resentment
bit my tongue
choked on blood
a mess no one mopped up
hard not to scream
when steel wool
is your blindfold
and you can't find what's hidden
no one said you had to stay
crippling fear of solitude
squalling bastard in your way
three isn't company
I won't reconcile
or show my throat
part of the curse
you proffered me
am I a blister on your heel?
or a limp you can't hide?
or a vessel for your vitriol?
a cup that runneth over
this isn't what you want
but time's not on our side
where do you think you'll go when you die?
I'll chew on glass
I can't swallow my pride
walk through the door
I'll leave through a window
I should see someone
but that means learning where I went wrong
it kills me too.
it kills me more than it kills you.
when half of me is you what part of me is left to trust?
I'm imprisoned by your name
and your generosity
olive branches burn on the pyre
for every inch you'd always raze a mile
one step forward
two steps back
falling swiftly to snap my neck

Akratic Seminar

my will is gone
eroded with each fragile night
don't sympathize
with a liar who has paid the price
I can lure you back this time
promises that fester in the light
don't walk away
my muscles ache with fresh exertion
stay with me
I'll conjure up some remedy
I can lure you back this time
promises that fester in the light
where was our discipline?
misplaced but not forgotten
it never stops
a chill that never thaws out
eyes beckon your return
frost forms on my breath
I am a sore
inside your mouth
my voice a sound you can't block out
and I will be your great regret
the one that makes you pray for death
I can't say no
tongue is swollen
refusal seems so hollow
eyes wide
splitting at the seams
take this away
a mess of skin and agony
chemical waste of space
perfume and nicotine

The Pseudoscientist
03:42
|
|||
|
tread on your spine like stepping stones
venomous maw
licking your wounds
a living crutch
amputating a limb
I was a person not a sin
your body bloats and spoils with lies
as your excuses wear thin
I'm drawing a line here
just down another drink
while you preach to me your non-belief
you desperate pseudoscientist
false gospel dripping from your lips
burn yourself out
leave the forest ablaze
beneath the frail bravado
a forager that lusts for power
your claws still grasp at passing flesh
drink stagnant blood
I've paid my debt
I was a person not a sin
your body bloats and swells with lies
as your excuses wear thin
so choke down another drink
while you preach to me your non-belief
you fucking pseudoscientist
false gospel dripping from your lips
I swear I'm listening
opportunist.

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too.
