Beneath a dead garden

Your soul twisted and hardened

Writhing and flailing

Crocodile tears so sublime

A performance of a lifetime

Fake wounded dove

Heart’s cold as the moon above

Feeding me lies

To prey on the kindness of others

Poisoning friends and lovers

Wallow in a self-pitying shell

Sucking the lifeblood, leaving permanent marks

With claws that will drag me to hell

Swallowed into your energy well

Flourish in madness to harvest the sadness

Of everyone under your spell

Tangled in webs of manipulation

Corrupt

Fake wounded dove

Heart’s cold as the moon above

Feeding me lies

To prey on the kindness of others

Poisoning friends and lovers

Take all that’s left of us

Marked for death, solace

Severing ties

Obscuring the truth in your facade

Reveling in the applause

(Alone in this world

Nothing to fill that gaping hole in your self worth

Hollow, starved for affection

Wallow in your reflection

No home, no return

Rotting away, you've lost control

There's no answer

Sorrow, casting the first stone

Swallowed into the unknown

Now I can finally see that your heart is empty)

[Ryo Kinoshita]

Tree of knowledge

Bearing the weight of the world

We learn to forget

As we burn and regret

In this never-ending cycle of life and death

I am a soul denied

Searching for a place to die

Still waters turn foul

Stagnation leads to decay

The graceless gods

Rotten to the core

Eating each other

Forevermore

We learn to forget

As we burn and regret

In this never-ending cycle of life and death

We are the souls denied

Searching for a place to die

(Place to die)
