Gloom and the Art of Tribulation

Trauma sets in
 Mesmerized by the hell I created
 Swallowed whole by the darkness that lives within me
 Architect of my spiritual undoing
 Lover to misery
 Oh sweet suffering, silently slithering
 Remove me from this earth
 This empty shell that is me
 A deadly construct, this gnawing mistrust
 Into the darkness I descend
 Oh sweet suffering, perfectly crippling
 A sewer of waste
 Toxic thoughts ingrained
 Pestiferous, obnoxious, erroneous
 Into the darkness I descend
 A petty deprivation, this constant need for validation
 Deceitful nature is imposed
 An apocrypha, immoral
 Deceitful nature exposed
 Ever-growing desperation
 Sinking me to my lowest lows
 Remove me, violently
 Total exacerbation
 The stench of despair
 Remove me, silently
 Devious manipulation
 Constant need for validation
 Deceitful nature imposed
 I can no longer perceive who I am in this maze
 True nature exposed
 Knife to my throat
 Is this my way out
 Mesmerized by the hell I created
 Swallowed whole by the darkness that lives within me
 Architect of my spiritual undoing
 Lover to misery
 Gloom and despair, the art of tribulation
 Gloom and despair, seductive damnation
 ♪
 Gloom and the lure of death
 Unworthy of fixing vermin shell
 Gloom and the lure of death
 Unworthy of fixing shattered shell

 Remove me, end me
 Remove me from hell
 Remove me, end this
 From this tremulous fear, the intoxicating deep
 Remove me, take me from tribulation
 Remove me, take me from desperation
 Remove me, end this
 From this tremulous fear, the intoxicating deep
 Ever-growing desperation
 Sinking me to my lowest lows
 Remove me, violently
 Total exacerbation
 The crippling state of depression
 Remove me, silently
