Descending

Verse 1
My skull splits open like a kingdom under siege,
Thoughts dripping down like molten disease.
Crawling horrors feast where my reason died,
Gnawing at the corners of a sanctified mind.

Verse 2
Catatonic tyrants screaming in my bones,
Hammering madness into marrow and stone.
The walls of my sanity fracture and break—
A throne of violence formed by every mistake.

Pre-Chorus
Blood-red visions flood the halls inside,
As the last sane heartbeat flatlines and dies.

Chorus
I’m descending—
Into a furnace of splintered screams,
Where terror reigns and nothing redeems.
I’m breaking—
Under the weight of the beasts I’ve made,
Torn apart in the mind-war crusade.

Verse 3
Nightmares sharpen their teeth on my fear,
Carving symbols in the psyche I once held dear.
A legion of shadows marches through my skull,
Every step a hammer blow, violent and dull.

[Breakdown half-time, brutal, growls]
Rip the cortex wide—LET THE MONSTERS FEED!
Grind the reason down—LET THE TERROR BLEED!
Twist the spine of thought—BREAK THE WILL IN TWO!
THIS IS THE SLAUGHTER OF A MIND THAT NEVER GREW!

Post-Breakdown
Sanity’s corpse hangs rotting on the rafters,
Mocking me softly with hysterical laughter.

Chorus (Final)
I’m descending—
Into a furnace of splintered screams,
Where terror reigns and nothing redeems.
I’m breaking—
In the cathedral where hope decays,
Lost forever in the violence of my own maze.
