Salt Thrower - Slugdge

Speak to darkness in your lowest ebb;

Only silence

There’s no future, only past regrets

Meditate on them

Suspended in infinite blackness

So numb, agony is no distraction

Contempt for life replacing sadness

Is this clarity or madness?

Temporary energy and matter

The will to live is irrevocably damaged

A listless spirit wants to leave the world

Sweet oblivion

Vital essence grinding to a halt

We are all at fault

Falling from the creaking rafters

Pressure, so much worse than you imagined

Burning, death’s umbilica unravels

Drifting from his sweet embrace

Gasping for breath, staring in the grave

Only fear, as what little light left fades

And on the pedestal, these words appear

«Look on my works ye mighty, and despair!»

Negated by the unbearable truth

All-consuming psychotic fugue

Fall to a lightless self-destructive end

For there is a monster in the heart of all men

Hearken to nightmares of futility enshrined

In sleepless terrors born of the mind

And upon the horizon of the waking world

Time stands still

Damnation is our destiny

Existence is disease

Our screams are the music of reality

Relinquish all your earthly bonds

And bow before the god of madness

Let him untether you from pain

Step outside the circle and be saved

Crippled by the triviality, the insanity of existing

A mockery;

this master plan, crushed by the hand of fate

No solace in this hopeless cycle

At one with fear and the darkness

Attain mastery over shadow

Purge trepidation from your heart

Your adversary is within, these mental chains are your prison

Malignant love of your projected self;

a toxic delusion

Chaos, decay, withering away

The sense of self, starting to fade
