Desolation's Edge

Clenching upon my throat 'cause there's a knot in my chest
You've shown me your worst intentions, bitch you're not like the rest
Your reality's abhorrent
Your visions are distorted
Your depravity breeds my insanity
But I won't be your target

I can't escape you
I can't forsake you
You were mistakenly built as a sick, twisted, motherfucker destined for the depths of hell
Now you shall burn
Writhe as I once did

See the lacerations on my fucking chest
As I recall the weight of my past
Your denial of my prelude was destruction of my foreground
You destroyed me from the inside

Killing the core to mold the machine
Tear me away from what I believed
Sold my soul, but I was deceived
By a masked parasite who was never foreseen
Carved gashes into me to enslave my mind

Inhaling the fumes of a familiar but soulless husk
I can't conceptualize the cause of the fall
But your sick grin's always there to laugh at it all
Separate the consciousness from flesh and bone
I wish I could detail the inner void
But until I am freed, I cannot discern
What is certain and what is a lie
Please show me the light

Embracing the warmth of the fire within
The reignition burns away the mortal sin
Explosive desire to rectify the carnage
Rebirth of the man who once defied desolation's edge

The lion's roar within has awakened
Your weak point's exposed, and I'll take you down
Crushing the bones between my teeth
Of those who've pinned me from beneath
Brave the storm of what I've become
Brave the storm of what you've made me
The tides have changed, now is my chance
To rise and take my fighting stance
