Yōkai (妖怪)

The earth is sick of hope
Life drained away from what's wickedness made
I've heard lies justified in the interest of time
So we burn and kill, consuming at will
There's no turning back now, this is what we built

I don't want to die like this
No martyrs or honor
The hope and tide are so slaughtered
And if you wrap the fucking noose around my neck
I'll jump but pray I hear the snap
Ringing in the back of my head

Further as I itch, consume and slowly ebbing
Blood for fire, one mind, devastation
Breathe filth and pain, a blackened stain
I welcome the end as I'm wasting away

I've become a phantom, an apparition dismantled
I am alone, I am fractured as life begins
Sad old shit as we're swallowed in a black hole
Rise, the enemy that I am

Went from this deep pool of misery
The final drain on all humanity
I saw how failure supported me
What could I do? They made me do

I've become a phantom, an apparition dismantled
I am alone, I am fractured as life begins
Sad old shit as we're swallowed in a black hole
Rise, the enemy that I am
Phantom, an apparition dismantled
I am alone, I am fractured and all begins
Sad old shit as we're swallowed in a black hole
Rise, the enemy that I am

The enemy that I am
The enemy that I am

I'm so sick of this endless torment
And I'm so tired of being tired
I can feel you scratching at my skin, you're gone
I'm still subjected to ignoring all my sanity
It's been my only consistency in reality
And now the cracks are showing, there's just no way of knowing
A growing pain that remains, which I just won't allow
Fucking kill me now

Set me free
Finally free from this burden
This nightmare
