The Flood - Muskeg

As I peer across the mire ahead
Swarms of pests tear me to shreds
What lies beyond the withered reeds?
This affliction has infested me

Pollution of my addled mind
Exhuming waste I left behind
Pathogens contaminate my veins
Weakening thought's barricades

Swampwalking down to my demise
Death whistles numbing lullabies
Amnesia helps to tranquilize
Bury truth in obscurity

Too scared to look
At the festering bog below
Must press onwards
Rattle chains 'til the past replies
Disturbing scum
Like shaking coins at a passerby
Is what haunts me
A revenant of yesterdays?

Still afraid
Still afraid to wade
In the cesspool of omission

Thick skin

Thick skin protects inner peace
Sloughing off, exposing rot
Leeching off a mind diseased
Thick skin protects inner peace
Sloughing off, exposing rot
I'm waist deep in shit that I forgot

Swampwalking down to my demise
Death whistles numbing lullabies
Amnesia helps to tranquilize
Bury truth in obscurity
I'm a casket beckoning for the comfort of a corpse
But the mangled carcasses keep the coffin closed
Waiting always to asphyxiate
Coiling round, and when I howl I raise the dead

Raise the dead
There is torture disavowed
Raise the dead
Paralyzed, I can't get out
Raise the dead
The scales are lifting now
Raise the dead
Trapped In A Death Roll
