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answering to the gazes she gets Muted, callous, introverted, blank, devoid Never was anyone able to connect with her Withdrawn, wayward, weird, peculiar, out of reach Underneath the shroud of bricks and stones A river starts to form Made of all her broken dreams, her numbed desires Her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
