Thought it would be pretty cool to have a thread where the songwriters in the forum could post their katatonic lyricism. Here's some of my stuff:
"Recurring Desolation"
My actions serve no need in their repetitive ludicity
While the life I yearn for drifts astray
I spend my days in idle
The antithese of all hope, enslaved in something disbelieved
The worst sense of depravity
To be entwined as one of many, never seen
The real me seized to exist so long ago
That I fear how things keep going
Loyalties to things I do not care for, demands I cannot meet
Paradoxally living an oblivion with dreams unanswered
Balancing restless hours with seconds of glow
Striving to not surrender
On a subway, in a sea of faces
I wither away and lose distinction
Day in and day out in recurring desolation
The slow death of any hope in me
A mental mirror of the grey passing streets
Losing vitality through every new negation
Rain and utter darkness, apathy
Soul chambered in depravity
This deep spiral of decay sends me embracing the fade
Insignificance grows clear, character is lost
A despondent answer given, to silence doubt on my behalf
As I close my eyes I'd never tell you what's seen
Abandoned fields of gallows
Mephitic gardens of decomposing flesh
All sheer decadence and repulsion of life is seen
An introspect in the trauma that is me
On a subway, in a sea of faces
I wither away and lose distinction
Day in and day out in recurring desolation
The slow death of any hope in me
Night-time I'm awake, repeating sleeplessly
"Who am I now, and who will I become?
Will I stand strong, or will I break?"
Formulaic repetition of yesterday
Quickly kills that inner child
I now know the gallows await
"The End of Disorder"
Used and battered to the point of no redemption
Outcast from mankind, punished for my disgust
Humanity stains much like a tumour
With its repulsive demeanor
Bitter pain recides forever
A lost faith in life to never heal
The depths of disappointment
Defeats all love and light
Now I depart, say my silent goodbyes
Look you in the eye for one last time
A timid sleep awaits across the border
The end of this disorder
