The scar of the rope Adorns my neck In silent meditation My anxiety in check The hands of man Have left their impression On shell and psyche Suicidal intentions Too many have died by the hands of man Forsaken by liars sworn to truth Denied the chance to find their solace This is the world the hands of man have made Since the original sin man has been made a vessel Of death and bondage and every known evil Scourge of the earth, ministers of oppression Dispatching demise with unrepentant aggression I will survive The scar of the rope Adorns my neck In silent meditation My anxiety in check The rope that scathed Was tied by me With these hands The hands of man I take the poison from my lips I cut the rope from my rafters I lay them on the table And I walk away From the table of life, of life and death I walk away From the table of life and death I walk away Lucas: I cannot save myself I cannot save anyone But I can make this choice From the table of life and death I walk away From the table of life and death I walk away

Nothing weighs me down More than the weight within Nothing is as crushing As the weight of my sin The weight of all sin The weight of my sin Burden of life Master of mine My mistress has me by the brains I no longer try to resist Indifferent to my pain She's an icy enchantress I hate myself more than I thought I could every hate at all Hate myself Hate my ways Wretched soul No self control Self defeat Takes its toll The consequence Of my sin Involuntary Termination of spirit For every good dead done One thousand transgressions The weight of my crimes As heavy as the depression The weight of all sin The weight of my sin

Listless Spirit I still call on your name Sometimes, lying in shame The light, barely incandescent Much like my faith. I have lost my innocence If God hears me I can't hear him Question the skies I hear no reply Desire for faith Deluded by pain Even fallen angels miss home In that at least I'm not alone But my hell is far from home And my heart is in its throes Life is not easy Nor is it fair One day you love someone The next they aren't fucking there And I miss them all the more Because there were no goodbyes Of all those I love Who will be next? Will it be me? I pray that it is Every promise I made to myself was a lie This hell is alive while the heavens die The earth it burns but there is no light As the demon gods tear apart my life Feeling forsaken Feeling forgotten Feeling nothing Trust in nothing Listless spirit Lightless world Fink: "Searching for solace in a world so unjust No end to my suffering, all I love turns to dust Listless spirit merely waiting to die Look to the heavens begging, pleading - why?" Trust in nothing
