Necrosis

My band's newest song. Lyrics by myself.

"Necrosis"

Stale breath flowing and breaking on the wall.
A claw scratches flesh.
And that flesh bleeds.
The grit and the grime from within the broken veins,
Drops to Earth.
Pools in dirt.

The jaw goes slack, an arm goes numb, an eyeball starts to twitch, a brain cell dies, the throat runs dry...
Decaying right before your eyes.

No life left inside this mind, a disease called lifelessness, a corpse-a-walking, stiffened limbs...
Rigor Mortis sinks it's fangs in.

Bury Me I'm not alive.
Zombified, dead inside.
Wretched, rotten, losing time.
This life's a lie. Life is a lie.

Bleeding meat hangs upon forsaken bones.
Skin cracks and peels.
Nerves split the seams.
A fading smile drowns within the churning mud.
Beneath this corpse.
This corpse that is me.

What happens to a man when life is dead?
When living has become meaningless?
What has happened to me is an example of just this.

What happens to a man when life is dead?
When living has become meaningless?
Life is a lie, unending and intense.

My life is gone, black heart inside.
Death is life, live to die.
I can't go on, I've lost my mind.
This life's a lie. Life is a lie.

What happens to a man when life is dead?
When living has become meaningless?
Do I stand and strive for a purpose?
Or walk away, and let death work his magic?

Bury me, I'm not alive.
Zombified, dead inside.
Wretched, rotten, losing time.
This life's a lie. Life is a lie.

My life is gone, black heart inside.
Death is life, live to die.
I can't go on, I've lost my mind.
This life's a lie. Life is a lie.
