Ibis
The ibises (collective plural ibis; classical plurals ibides and ibes) are a group of long-legged wading birds in the family Threskiornithidae, that inhabit wetlands, forests and plains. They all have long, down-curved bills, and usually feed as a group, probing mud for food items, usually crustaceans. They are monogamous and highly territorial while nesting and feeding. Most nest in trees, often with spoonbills or herons. All extant species are volant, but two extinct genera were flightless, namely the kiwi-like Apteribis in the Hawaiian Islands, and the peculiar Xenicibis in Jamaica. The word ibis comes from Latin ibis from Greek ἶβις ibis from Egyptian hb, hīb.

Another Private Hell
by: AbscessDon't want to go outside today
Inside i think I'm gonna stay
My tortured mind it chokes me down
In here I'm free to bleed and drown
Just one more private hell
Stuck in this mental shell
I haven't slept for seven days
I watch my face just melt away
I hear them coming after me
Perpetual demonology...
Brain in flames I'm sinking down
Stabbing voices all around
Sleep is something i can't do
Stay awake, nightmares come true
Just one more private hell
Stuck in this mental shell
I haven't slept for seven days
I watch my face just melt away
I hear them coming after me
Perpetual demonology...
Eyes are circles skeletonized
Read Maldoror twenty five times
Drank window cleaner and insect spray
This hell is mine for one last day
Just one more private hell
Stuck in this mental shell
I haven't slept for seven days
I watch my face just melt away
I hear them coming after me
