Descending

Verse 1

My skull splits open like a kingdom under siege,

Thoughts dripping down like molten disease.

Crawling horrors feast where my reason died,

Gnawing at the corners of a sanctified mind.

Verse 2

Catatonic tyrants screaming in my bones,

Hammering madness into marrow and stone.

The walls of my sanity fracture and break—

A throne of violence formed by every mistake.

Pre-Chorus

Blood-red visions flood the halls inside,

As the last sane heartbeat flatlines and dies.

Chorus

I’m descending—

Into a furnace of splintered screams,

Where terror reigns and nothing redeems.

I’m breaking—

Under the weight of the beasts I’ve made,

Torn apart in the mind-war crusade.

Verse 3

Nightmares sharpen their teeth on my fear,

Carving symbols in the psyche I once held dear.

A legion of shadows marches through my skull,

Every step a hammer blow, violent and dull.

Rip the cortex wide—LET THE MONSTERS FEED!

Grind the reason down—LET THE TERROR BLEED!

Twist the spine of thought—BREAK THE WILL IN TWO!

THIS IS THE SLAUGHTER OF A MIND THAT NEVER GREW!

Post-Breakdown

Sanity’s corpse hangs rotting on the rafters,

Mocking me softly with hysterical laughter.

Chorus (Final)

I’m descending—

Into a furnace of splintered screams,

Where terror reigns and nothing redeems.

I’m breaking—

In the cathedral where hope decays,

Lost forever in the violence of my own maze.
