1.
Disease 01:25
We are a burden on the planet earth. We take and take, leave none behind. Human greed entrenched at birth, World left to die. Disease, programmed to breed. Driven to spread our seed. We are a cancer on a living world, Sentenced our host to die.
2.
Senicide 02:47
The elderly live too long still clinging to life, though their moment is gone. Say goodbye to your family home, now your children are gone and you live here alone Time has been cruel, left you a husk as the years accrued Your mind betrays you Your time is overdue I am death, Here to rip you from your bed I am the end, Feel my hand as it grips around your neck No home but the grave.
3.
I am weary, my bones ache for the ground Burden of living, to this flesh I'm bound No choice but to survive Forced to wait for natural death, machines control my breath No hope, you can not die sacred life's a fucking joke, let me choke. Enervated, cant you see you err? Burden of living, is not yours to bear. Trapped in this mortal shell, My mind is a prison cell Please free me from this living hell. Please god set me free.
4.
Weltschmerz 02:47
The panic took hold, it seeped in through the cracks and infected him wholly, till he finally collapsed “The pain of living, outweighs the pain of dying Take me away My fear of living, outweighs the fear of dying Let me decay.” Weltschmerz takes hold, life is rot, decay and mould. "Life is cruelty, it can never be the world I had expected to see" Throat filling with bile the existence he covets will never transpire. Weltschmerz.
