Derelict

i was carved wrong on purpose
a shape that never fit into your picture
you tried to fill my head with lies
i swallowed them whole and spat back teeth
spat back teeth

i am the puzzle missing a piece
and you are the hand i bite for reaching
youll never finish this picture
die staring at the gap where i should be


grind your fingers on the outline
bleed into the space where i should be
you cant fix what was born wrong
why dont you
choke on me

i am the puzzle missing a piece
and you are the hand i bite for reaching
youll never finish this picture
die staring at the gap where i should be

built your world around my missing shape
now let it cave you in
let it choke you
let it hollow you out
youll break before the picture ever forms
pieceless
pieceless
pieceless 


i am the puzzle missing a piece
and you are the hand i bite for reaching
youll never finish this picture
die staring at the gap where i should be

Pieceless

came into this world bolted closed
no voice no choice
i watched your lies pile up like broken bones
stacked high enough to blot out the noise

born with my jaw wired shut
and i still learned how to scream
you thought you built a victim
now choke on the rage you made in me

every lie you fed me sank like rusted anchors
dragging me deeper into the filth you swim in 
your lies piled up like broken teeth
but the deception sharpened me

born with my jaw wired shut
and i still learned how to scream
you thought you built a victim
now choke on the rage you made in me 

cut the wires
watch the heavens fall
my voice is a ruin
my breath is a plague
you built this calamity

born with my jaw wired shut
and i still learned how to scream
you thought you built a victim
now choke on the rage you made in me 

born with my jaw wired shut
and i still learned what to be
you thought you built a monster
you built a weapon
now die knowing you made me

Wired Shut

the end had a pulse
the end had a face
and when it spoke
it sounded just like me
no heaven no hell
just two monsters shaking hands 
i stepped forward
and the darkness opened its arms

i held hands with the end
felt its fingers wrap around mine
where you saw death i saw a friend
oblivion whispered this is the end

let the skies collapse
let the oceans boil
let everything rot
ill stand in center of ruin

i held hands with the end
felt its fingers wrap around mine
where you saw death i saw a friend
oblivion whispered this is the end

i didnt run from the end
i recognized
i carried its reflection in my eyes

i held hands with the end
felt its fingers wrap around mine
where you saw death i saw a friend
oblivion whispered this is the end

the end had a pulse
the end had a face
and when it spoke
it sounded just like me

With the End

i wasn’t born 
i leaked out of a corpse 
collapsing in the sky
the last misfire of a star
choking on its own dust
a leftover thought carved from rust


a mistake in the shape of a man
fading tearing unraveling at the seams
i am the last dream of a dying god
when that god dies so do i

so do i
so do i

you want meaning
there is none
there never was

a mistake in the shape of a man
fading tearing unraveling at the seams
i am the last dream of a dying god
when that god dies so do i

and i can feel its heartbeat
starting to die
starting to die

a mistake in the shape of a man
fading tearing unraveling at the seams
i am the last dream of a dying god
when that god dies so do i

so do i
so do i
so do i
so do i
so do i

Last Dream

i dont sleep 
no dreams at night
just dead signal
behind my eyes

i dream awake
dragging the nightmare
with me into daylight
my mind is prison
cant wake up from something
youre living inside

nightmare waits 
until im conscious
crawling out of the cracks in my skull
theres no escape

i dream awake
dragging the nightmare
with me into daylight
my mind is prison
cant wake up from something
youre living inside

reality flickers like a dying light
and the dream bleeds in through the seams
theres no escape 
when the horror wears your face 

i dream awake
dragging the nightmare
with me into daylight
my mind is prison
cant wake up from something
youre living inside

i dream of pain
dragging the nightmare
with me into my life
my mind is poison
cant wake up from something
youre breathing into life

Dreaming Awake

ive tried to fall apart a thousand times
god stitched me back together with rusted wire
every wound i opened
closed itself
every breath i tried to end
came crawling back

world wont let me die
it keeps forcing me to life
thats begging to stop
like a corpse forced to march 

against my nature
against my will 
 
the world wont let me die
it keeps forcing me to life
thats begging to stop
like a corpse forced to march 

my body rots slow
i tear myself apart
and wake up whole again

world wont let me die
it keeps forcing me to life
thats begging to stop
like a corpse forced to march 
every sunrise a punishment

the world wont let me fade
it keeps raising me from the dead
i keep trying to die
but my corpse just won't fade 

every sunrise a punishment 
every sunrise a punishment 
every sunrise a punishment 
every sunrise a punishment 

Let Me DIE

theres no hope for us
no hope for us
no hope for us
no hope

the universe gagged when i arrived
a reflex like it puked blood
space folded wrong around my shape
light bent away from me
afraid to touch me
i was a mistake the 
cosmos tried to cancel
and swallow then choked on


i am unwelcome in the fabric of existence
stars dim in self defense
i am an error in its equation
a parasite in its bloodstream 


i don’t walk through the world
i distort it

i am unwelcome in the fabric of existence
stars dim in self defense
i am an error in its equation
a parasite in its bloodstream 


the deeper i breathe
the louder the stars scream
dust clouds collapse into ash
just to avoid being near me

i am unwelcome in the fabric of existence
stars dim in self defense
i am an error in its equation
a parasite in its bloodstream 


i am unwelcome in the world i was born in
moons turn black in self defense
i am a mistake in its plans
i am a mistake in its plans
 

the universe rejects me
the stars turn away their light
i am the fracture in creation 
a living mistake no god wants
