The Archaic Epidemic - Erebus Lyrics

I'm a waste
I've grown to look at myself as just a damaged twisted soul
Bound for an empty demise
A vile man with a taste of sin
A bloody pathway to my death
I feel disturbed in my skin
I'm ashamed, jaded
Guiding a tormented agony, seemingly holding a darkness inside of me
Running away is futilely flawed when you look in the mirror

You will fool the whole world down the pathway of life
But your final reward will be the heartaches and tears
If you've cheated the man in the mirror

A phantom heart deep within that beats within my own chest
A congregation of this lifeless soul
My whole existence is a sham
Gorging on my own demise
Life hasn't been what I wanted, and I only have myself to blame
For I am tainted, wretched, filled with petulance
I am damaged
A bitter taste of this morbid headspace
Disgraced

Tears fall from me
Oh, I am my only beast
Why do I pretend that my life is at peace
Realize the fulfillment that this lacks
A clouded mind wakes me up in the night
Searching for my inner peace

Venomous
Venomous, I'm engaged to the darkness

This destruction, this pain
My own fallacy
Distrust in myself
I've spent so much time reflecting

I'm in the fight of my life
Carried by this virus of vexation
The unrelenting violence
Just an empty shell

I'm so blind to heed my own words
Desolation

I am so broken
God is a sinner if he thought of me
All these nights left alone with myself
I never thought death would be invigorating

I am so broken
God is a sinner if he thought of me
In my vision I'm the victim of spite
But the devil on my shoulder disagrees with me
