Grief/Relief Lyrics by Katabasis

Dreams of Dying Remedies

2018

Drowning in a sea of consciousness
Off the coast of depravity
Left the ruins and sank in your skin
Wept and wept as I faced punishment
Watched souls escape through a lens
Forked tongue spewing venom
Blackened lungs and bloodshot eyes
This is how I always pictured I'd die
Searched for grief in a painting called relief
Bathed in lust to remind me
That desires always erase me
So love doesn't come easy
And hatred sings a song so pure to me
It fuels my insecurities
Always fail to cover my tracks
So when I fall I never react
Trying to search for grace in this pain
Let it flow like the blood in my veins
My nails can only carry so much dirt
So I'll cut off my fingers to make this work
Searched for inspiration among travesty
Found myself alone craving security
Another door shut in my face
Another reason to kill the memories
Buried them deep inside my head
Lost souls sleeping in my bed
Watched souls escape through a lens
Forked tongue spewing venom
Blackened lungs and bloodshot eyes
This is how I always pictured I'd die
Though I'd like to say goodbye
Forced dementia through my mind
So whoever's controlling you now
Let them know I fucking tried
Watched the dust settle
Heard the rite of passage
Locked eyes with a ghost that failed me
Searched for solace in dead memories
So for the closure we'll never have
I'll continue to scream your name
Until I feel nothing
I seek nothing
Carried the weight of words you spoke
Felt your God clenching my throat
Left to dwell for eternity
About love, hate, and everything in between
Inhaling smoke and breathing out fire
Wish I was never born with desire
The gods have cast a burden upon my soul
And anguish cuts my throat
Leave me to the worms so they can feast
On all my dead-weight dreams
So find me hanging from your light
So I can keep myself warm
For these times are trying
And you lost intentions once pure
Put your hands around my neck
I want you to feel victorious again
So shall I sink like Virginia Woolf
Or will I burn like I'm Joan of Arc
Either way, the world's gonna spin
So I'll return to my dream state again
For this remedy, it must die
Place your flowers in my eyes
