Every restraint lifted, every division removed. This life and every one of its inconveniences expunged. Each filthy conscious wiped clean. All forgiven and erased. Every restraint lifted, every division removed. No sentience or consciousness. No more needs and no more wants. Just photons and endless space. Freed from the hurt and suffering. Reduced right down to nothing. All agonies extinguished. All together as none. None. Free from pain. Less than dust. We are Nil. Nil. Every restraint lifted, every division removed.

Lapse As One 01:06
Stretched too thin and tearing. Drained of life. Body and mind failing. Drained of life. Constantly fatigued, contorted in pain. Completely depleted, strip mined and lapsing. Mental and physical health both lapsing in unison. Stretched to thin and tearing. Drained of life. Body and mind failing. Drained.

Forged your path kissing ass and stepped on all those in your way. You clawed your way up the ranks but you never reached your summit. Got close and sucked up to those of use to you. Trod on spines whenever it suited you. Forged your path kissing ass and stepped on all those in your way. Got close and sucked up to those of use to you. Trod on spines when ever it suited you. You've fallen short of your ambitions. Scheming wretch. Beguiling. Machiavellian. Slimy fuck. Now you're left behind, near spent with you're tongue still stuck in ass. You've lost your own game. You're left alone with just your conscience for compan. Lamenting life. You clawed your way up the ranks but you never reached your summit.

The future will not need us. Our biological frailties are no match for technology. Omniscient artillects.... Forever expanding, outdoing the best of us. Super Intelligence: Mankinds last invention. Forever expanding, outdoing the best of us. Man made digital gods - beyond comprehension. Never pausing, never ceasing and always self improving. Machines so powerful they crush their enemies decades before conflict even arises. They'll see no use for human kind and repurpose our resources. The gateway to extinction Is opening before us. Our replacements have arrived. No chance for coexistence. A life time to us is a speck of dust to them.

Implode 00:38
I can't stand myself and I can't stand you. Victimised myself now I victimise you. Implode. I can't stand myself and I can't stand you. In this ditch I've dug for myself I'll bury you to. Implode Implosion. Collapsing everything. Disassembling.

Constant stress as an experiential back drop to life. It's eating at me. A million fears plaguing my mind- A cluttered labyrinth of piled up shit. Intrusive thoughts creep in and my mind hosts them, feeds them furthers them on. I wall myself inside stupid ideas and then I hide from solutions. Intrusive thoughts creep in and my mind hosts them, feeds them and furthers them on. With each problem solved another resurfaces or emerges (for the first time). The constant jugging act of keeping the demons at bay seems so pointless. Tumours of stress in exponential growth.

It's my life. It's mine to threaten you with. It's mine to blackmail you with. Watch me trash it. It's my life. Grasp what I can and crush it. Seize what I can and flush it. Ruin it myself before it gets ruined for me. It's my life to take. It's all mine to destroy. It's my life to take. It's all mine to destroy. My decision. My choice to make. My exit out. My life to take. Mine to ruin and throw away. Self determined, self termination. For myself. By my self

Caustic Mess 01:18
I saw the signs. Theres no therapy that could find the footing to fix you. You're too far gone. No professional help could begin to clean up the caustic mess you are. Neurotic narcissist. High conflict, borderline psychotic. You're cruel natured. I ignored warning signs, buried doubts and forgot that.... Where there's smoke, there's fire. Where there's smoke, there's fire. I should have known to not let you near. Where there's smoke, there's fire. Where there's smoke, there's fire. I should have known to not let you near. Disaster zone Of a person. Wreaking ball of a human. Breaking everything you touch. I should have known to not let you near. I should have known to not let you near. I saw the signs.

Ravenous 00:52
10.
Amassing an arsenal of ill intent. Its all for you. Unmitigated hatred, hoarded rage all piled up. Amassing an arsenal of ill intent. Its all for you Unmitigated hatred, hoarded rage all piled up. Gives me strength and focus. Tunnel vision fixed on you. Pure vitriol that's simmering just beneath the surface. A loathing that will out last you. I'll despise you to the grave. Resentment that will see me through. Sustain me in outliving you A loathing that will out last you. I'll despise you to the grave. Maintain the rage. Disciplined hate. Amassing an arsenal of ill intent. Its all for you.

Made to trade away all of your youth. Then retire just to deteriorate. Trade in your health, donate your spine, fill your quotas and reach those goals. Then retire just to deteriorate. You forgot the fact that time takes all that is gained. Each success was a step closer to death. Now you've filled your quotas and you've reached every goal. Finally you have some time for you as you begin to decay.

I've seen enough. I've fucking seen enough. Never wished to be a part of this world. Didn't drag myself into this mess. I gave no consent. Would have stayed in non-existence in a state of peace. Sick of this fucking detour, this scenic route of horrors. Never wished to be a part of this world. Didn't drag myself into this mess. I gave no consent. Would have stayed in non-existence in a state of peace. Sick of this fucking detour. This scenic route of horrors. Should have left me in the void. I've seen enough. Reject It all I'm sick to DEATH. I've seen enough. Eject me from all this misery. I've seen enough. Free me from this agony.
