Shadow of Myself

This sickness I'm afflicted with
Has got my brain decaying
Addicted to it's wickedness
This dangerous game I'm playing
I know my God has damned me
My fate remains unmolded
Guess it runs in the family
My sense of self corroded

Rage and hatred, untethered
Heads and appendages severed
I can't be saved by confession
Endure this torture forever
This aimless anger will fester
And pain will make me remember
I'm on the edge of life and death
And I ain't getting better (getting better)

Lungs filled up with sweat and mud
Unclean, diseased, body wet with blood
When it comes to carnage, I can't get enough
Ever since Mom and Dad force-fed me some

Way past saving, can't be helped
Just a shadow of myself
Feel your darkness cascade over me (cascade over me)
Make me evil, feed me hell
I'm a shadow of myself
Swallow my soul, take control of me (take control of me)

Hold your Holy Bibles tight, you're sinkin' in this swamp (swamp)
There's no key to your survival, that's a door that's locked (locked)
Dissected head to toe, you'll be opened up (up)
The only friend you'll get to know is a loaded gun

My blackened blood is boilin'
I feel my fear no more
The scent of dead flesh spoilin'
Have I become a corpse?
Spiders climb up my spine
Feel their venom in my veins
This torment is divine
The reaper, I'll embrace

When I'm made a god (god), I will take a bow (bow)
Evil forged a bond (bond), she won't break her vows (vows)
Now you know the price (price), gotta pay it now (now)
If you have a life (life), time to lay it down (down)

Heed not the voice of reason
It only tells you lies
Obey your sins and demons
Then see through evil's eyes

Way past saving, can't be helped
Just a shadow of myself
Feel your darkness cascade over me (cascade over me)
Make me evil, feed me hell
I'm a shadow of myself
Swallow my soul, take control of me (take control of me)

Blood is in the air
My tongue can taste the gore
Smell it on my breath (uh)
The flavor I've been craving for (uh, uh)

What's the matter, what's happenin'?
I've been served up a platter of pathogens
Trapped within a macabre massacre
By a family of sadistic savages
Ain't seen a chainsaw yet
But I will by the end, I'll bet
I can sense the presence of evil
Settled deep in this residence

I've already been through shit
And still haven't seen how bad it gets
Crashin' their party, bash in their heads
Pick up a weapon and splatter the rest
This violence has me laughin'
After makin' a massive mess
I guess I'm past the point of savin'
I'd rather end up dead

Give in to your temptation
Transcend mortality
Why let yourself be bound by
Mortal morality?

Way past saving, can't be helped
Just a shadow of myself
Feel your darkness cascade over me (cascade over me)
Make me evil, feed me hell
I'm a shadow of myself
Swallow my soul, take control of me (take control of me)

Take control of me (take control of me)
Evil molded me
