    Bludgeon

    by: Bunkur

    I drown in pain, writhing, contorting
    My face deformed, my life becomes a hollow shell
    Meaning is lost, all hope is gone
    Crawling through glass on bleeding knees, I beg for death
    My tears burning a trail of wounds across my flesh
    The crown of nails tormenting my sick mind
    The scars I bear remind me of my ruin
    Walls I built fall down to dust
    Core exposed, fears become alive
    They take form, monstrous beings, twisted
    Surround me, tear the skin to shreds
    Bludgeoning emotions numb
    Suicide only way out
    And I have no choice but to leave my hope shattered
    Forever tore mind in the grace of depression
    As I force the blade deep into my ice cold veins
    Watching my blood flow deep into lakes of death
    And my immortal soul is looking back at my life sand...
    What is this life but perpetual torment
    I see nothing, I hear nothing
    I feel nothing, my life was nothing
    And the void is in me
    Placid life less free from the chains that bind me to the Earth
    Into the black hole my grave
    Away, away from the noise
