death is seeps into my pores
disease it eats me to the core
my body is slowly decaying
authentic pain keeps reigning
this pain, my pain
it’s all of my own
my authentic pain
never leaves me alone
angel of mercy
there’s nothing to save
this pain, pain, pain
leads me to my grave
loss of mind, loss of speech
pain has a timeless reach
blood stains the stainless knife
healing the scars of my life
this pain, my pain
it’s all of my own
my authentic pain
never leaves me alone
angel of mercy
there’s nothing to save
this pain, pain, pain
leads me to my grave
the bugs creep into my pores
eating bile from the coffin floor
maggots prevail, they speak my tongue
sad existence dying young
this pain, my pain
it’s all of my own
my authentic pain
never leaves me alone
angel of mercy
there’s nothing to save
this pain, pain, pain
leads me to the grave

Love the fact you guys had a record.

Good write here.
Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Fia. So glad you connected with the lyrics my friend. I used AI to make the artwork. We had a few tracks on a cassette at one time. lol. I can’t remember the music to this one anymore, the lyrics are all that remain. Appreciate you.
Damian
Great lyrics. You can feel the suffering within the worlds. I always like a good collaboration.
Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Nick. So glad you enjoyed the lyrics my friend. Appreciate you.

This reminds me so much of my early writing. Back when I was accused of being morbid. It comes as it comes, doesn’t it? Sign of a great collaboration when you can no longer remember who wrote what. This one stirs in the back of my mind. Out of curiosity, how many songs/lyrics does your catalog contain? Im looking forward to seeing more, my friend
Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the lyrics my friend. Our lives mirror each other a lot, is what I’m thinking. I was accused of the same. It became my calling card. lol. It was only my second collaboration ever. Quite a few actually, now not all of them got music, I usually tell that in the summary. At one time I kept count of possible ideas. I had over 500 when I stopped keeping count. Now not all are great, some I won’t share because I’m not the person who penned those songs anymore. And I was in a horrible place, it’s actually painful to read some of them. A writer leaves breadcrumbs in their work. As a writer I tend to document my life. lol. Appreciate you.
