Nailed To Obscurity
Black Frost
1. Black Frost
All-consuming lonesomeness
Repelled by the world
Self-inflicted exclusion
Errant, forgotten, misunderstood
His soul despairingly trying to navigate
Through the cold seas of grief
Tempest, devouring swirl of emotions
His perception changes beyond belief
Black frost
Strong and tight
The burden unseen
Black frost
Growing but hiding in secrecy
Without snow or rime
Without warning but so severe
Black frost
Losing touch with the innermost self
Ominous threat
Will it cause his mind to capsize?
Intuition, a sense of loss
The raging seas of grief
Raindrops and tears unite
Sanity and reason divide
Black frost
Growing but hiding in secrecy
Without snow or rime
Without warning but so severe
Black frost
Losing touch with the innermost self
Ominous threat
Will it cause his mind to go down?
He's frantically routing his sanity
Through murky waters and cold
Unrest, unaware of the grave danger
His perception darkened, disordered, misled
Horrified and voiceless
As he realized black frost took over his mind
He goes down
Black frost
Growing but hiding in secrecy
Without snow or rime
Without warning but so severe
Black frost
Losing touch with the innermost self
Is his mind able to thaw?
2. Tears of the Eyeless
Heavy make-up masks her face
Her appearance doesn't tell anything
No expression in her voice
When spoken to she seems absent
The innermost hidden from the outside
Locked and sealed
In place of her eyes, deep hollows
Locked and sealed
She acts like an industrial machine
Without emotion, a means to an end
Never answering to the gazes she gets
Muted, callous, introverted, blank, devoid
Never was anyone able to connect with her
Withdrawn, wayward, weird, peculiar, out of reach
Underneath the shroud of bricks and stones
A river starts to form
Made of all her broken dreams, her numbed desires
Her exhausted spirit finds a way when she's all alone
All alone
The innermost hidden from the outside
Locked and sealed
In place of her eyes, deep hollows
Locked and sealed
Underneath the shroud of bricks and stones
A river opened a way
Made of all her broken dreams, her numbed desires
Her exhausted spirit found a way
Through the tears of the eyeless
3. The Aberrant Host
Storm clouds gather on a moonlit night
Wind blows through his hair
Just like it does to shake the leaves
And bring them down
Pushing the unavoidable decline
Both his feet placed on the ground
But his legs, fragile and weak
Roots, once they grounded
A base that's going numb
A lethal parasite
Through all these years
It hid inside
A life threat
Unnoticed symptoms
The truth will be unearthed
It beset an aberrant host
The moon above
Blinding his weary eyes
He feels his scars, his resin blood, his splintered bark
All of them hurt
Like they were inflicted just now
His tired arms and the aching limbs
All his strength withers away
Ungracious cycle of nature
All things come to an end
A lethal parasite
Through all these years
It hid inside
A life threat
Unnoticed symptoms
At least it will die too
It beset an aberrant host
A lethal parasite
Through all these years
It hid inside
A life threat
This is the swan song
For vermin and host
This lethal parasite
A death warrant
Already signed
Both die
A strong dependence
Mortal, ill-disposed
The aberrant host
4. Feardom
In utter silence
Every step I walk
Echoes from everywhere
This place
I once called home
Now feels eerie like a stranger
Out of nowhere
Dread reaches out for me
Am I isolated?
Is it really only me?
I embrace my sanity to keep it
In every echo, every sound
A presence that is all around
Lonesome but not lonely
In every corner, every move
Dark aura ranging to the roof
Nameless but so familiar
An intuition
Seeking for the origin
Of this obscure spirit
A vanished part of me
I embrace my sanity to keep it
To keep it close
To keep it
In every echo, every sound
A presence that is all around
Lonesome but not lonely
In every corner, every move
Dark aura ranging to the roof
Nameless but so familiar
Touched by cryptic shadows
Am I just hallucinating?
Door falls into the lock
Am I blacking out?
Alliance to keep it black
A myriad of shadows
Am I still able to see clear?
This place is not my home
Embracing my sanity to keep it
My perception defined by fear
In every echo, every sound
A presence that is all around
Lonesome but not lonely
In every corner, every move
Dark aura ranging to the roof
Nameless but so familiar
5. Cipher
My lids seem to be open
But I can't feel a face
Or a body beneath my eyes
Still my emotions are torn
Between repentance, temper, and sorrow
Alone in a desert of despair
Familiar faces surrounded by nameless ones
I’m no part of the events
Different life, vacant, counterfeit
Like a ghost levitating above the scene
Able to see, unable to be seen
I'm not part of the events
Different life, vacant, counterfeit
Erased, I've never been born
Unable to make my mistakes
As the abyss took me
As my doubts bear me down
Deleted, misremembered
Letters building words
Altered, rephrased tale
My name does not appear
These pages were deleted
All that’s left is bleak and drear
Footprints in the ground
Missing pair of feet
The road they show, hard as before
A sight I can't ignore
Erased, not a twist of fate
An unbreakable curse
Trapped in a loop
Everything happens as foretold
Cycle of pain
Persistent, ongoing
I am eliminated
My existence obliterated
But still I can see
Without me, it's still the same
All the emotions are torn
Between repentance, temper, and sorrow
The pitiless desert of despair
6. Resonance
A neglected promise
Clandestine judgement
Homicidal whispering
Distrust and scorn
A burning pyre
Made of atrocity
And it never ceases
But spreads out
A solid core
Hard as a boulder
Preparing to roll
Towards its creators
A neglected promise
Clandestine judgement
Homicidal whispering
Distrust and scorn
A burning pyre
Made of atrocity
And it never ceases
But spreads out
A step too far
A stab in the back
Homicidal whispering
Now silenced forever
A solid core
Hard as a boulder
Preparing to roll
Towards its creators
Resonance
Resonance
Resonance
Resonance
7. Road to Perdition
Route just so unclear
Uncertain
Drifting away
Lost in a veil of thoughts
Astray
Drifting away
The circle starts to mount itself
As beginning turns to end
While the walls are growing higher
It's getting harder to escape
In the center of my grief
I am caught
Out means in, I'm distraught
Lost the view from above
I am inside
Look from bottom to top
Nothingness in sight
A veil of thoughts
Drifting away
Gray in all its shades
Some fine indications of black
Not a single color
Is able to break through
A barbed wire limits me
Razor-sharp thorns attack my mind
The hurt feeds my inner conflict
A tower-like fortress locks me up
No frames, no doors, no windows, bricked up
No way to leave this solid prison
This is my road to perdition
The prison walls are closing in
The prison walls are closing in
Enwrapped in thoughts
I shudder to think
In the middle of a commanding eye
I lose my voice
The ability to express myself
And the eye still gazes at me
I realize I can't go on
Because beginning turned to end
Soul compliant, so sadistic
In the center of my grief
I am trapped
Every step I do throws me back
Lost the view from above
I am below
Can't reach for the top
Caught in the undertow
