Gloom Sower
Cattle Hammer
stricken hollow grief, immeasurable sorrow under shadows a disciple is spawned in your darkest moments the gloomsower is born in darkness with regrets soulless eyes empty breath as the darkness fell the terror came next only darkness only darkness remains
9:42
Rotting
Cattle Hammer
rotting from the heart outwards maggots where once were butterflies love long since died rotting from the heart outwards burning embers of our home awake or asleep, eternally alone this burden I must shoulder can I learn to live again my bleeding hands reach for you the crippling weight of loneliness and regret

Watchmen, Alone
Cattle Hammer
dark thoughts with lights out an image of loneliness burnt on the floor like watchmen alone please close your eyes i don't want you to see me like this
8:39
Body Puzzle
Cattle Hammer
fingers sliced to ribbons jagged shards of glass bleeding everywhere the hardest task I must complete now matter how much I bleed this task I must complete now matter how much I bleed my only goal your happiness and i have failed i have failed i cannot survive this pain i can't fix this I have failed
