Shining - Claws of Perdition Text (lyrics)
[Shining - Claws of Perdition Text lyrics]
A suicidal haze
Unreal like a torturous dream
Old stinging mental wounds
Still raw and fucking bleeding
Drowning in the womb of misery
The mother of depression
The slaughter of all hope
The grim death of compassion
Sell your soul to evil
Sell your soul to death
Suicide, suicide, suicide, suicide
Suicide, suicide, suicide
A dead empty stare into the ruins of my world
A world I have already left
So many years ago
There are no more barriers to cross
All I have in common with
The uncontrollable and insane
The vicious and the evil
All the mayhem I have caused
And my utter indifference to the world
I have now surpassed
My pain is constant and sharp
And I do not hope for
A better world for anyone in fact
I want my pain to be inflicted on others
I want no one to escape
But even after admitting this
There is no katharsis
My punishment continues to illude me
And i gain no deeper knowledge of myself
No new knowledge can be
Extracted from my telling
This confession has meant
Nothing
Unreal like a torturous dream
Old stinging mental wounds
Still raw and fucking bleeding
Drowning in the womb of misery
The mother of depression
The slaughter of all hope
The grim death of compassion
Sell your soul to evil
Sell your soul to death
Suicide, suicide, suicide, suicide
Suicide, suicide, suicide
A dead empty stare into the ruins of my world
A world I have already left
So many years ago
There are no more barriers to cross
All I have in common with
The uncontrollable and insane
The vicious and the evil
All the mayhem I have caused
And my utter indifference to the world
I have now surpassed
My pain is constant and sharp
And I do not hope for
A better world for anyone in fact
I want my pain to be inflicted on others
I want no one to escape
But even after admitting this
There is no katharsis
My punishment continues to illude me
And i gain no deeper knowledge of myself
No new knowledge can be
Extracted from my telling
This confession has meant
Nothing
