You can't kill me if I'm already in purgatory
I am the fire golem raging in your territory
Love is a triple edged sword, two in my direction
Though nothing's quite as sad as the temporary
Angels so beautiful with a strange understanding
Of being I cannot comprehend
But these axioms they’ve chosen are so strange to me
How could I ever reach the same end
Gabriel’s horn is my spear
So much to cover with black, so little inside
No one takes me seriously, so why should I?
I crush my heart and I bide my time
Philosophy's a virus that just chews at your soul
Looking inward is the weak man's way to feel whole
All it brings up is hypothetical feelings and real guilt
Just one last straw to make a bottomless hole
The demons are replaced with you, strong unlike my visions,
Hardened by heart and my lies
Eternal damnation and fucking loneliness
You know, I never take this side of me seriously
The grass scrapes against my mind
The endless blossoming inside
Where hell spawns roam with rage so blind
Leaving I, ever so uptight
One day I’m afraid, the energy might change
Into something I can’t just contemplate
But an uncontrollable entity so incomprehensible
It puts it horror to my head, god it’s late
