FILTH LYRICS

1. Covet

[feat. Adam Warren of Oceano]

Plunge me into the depths.
A place bereft of life.
Dead hands fasten around my neck.
Siphoning what sanity I have left.

Do my eyes deceive me?
Reality is not what it seems.
False tongues betray me.
The blackened speech only serves to avert my gaze.

My heart ceases beating, I've lost all sense of meaning.
I'm off the deep end, I'm going off the deep end.
Constantly drowning I can't keep sinking.
I'm going off the deep end.

[Adam Warren of Oceano:]
The earth splits and swallows me whole.
Limbs reach out to tare at the very fabric of my soul.
This blood runs cold.
Crushed beneath the heel of a world so cruel.
Broken I have nothing, I've been played for a fool.
I've been played for a fool.
I've been played for a fool!

I was fixated on what's in front of me.
Sedated kept blind to what can never be.
Such sights eyes weren't meant to see.
This will be the death of me.

My heart ceases beating, it seems I have lost all meaning.
I'm off the deep end, I'm going off the deep end.
I'm drowning constantly, I can't keep sinking.

What do you do when life is spiraling down?
Exist in silence, I dare not make a sound.

Contorted and mangled, left clinging to life.

Sedated kept blind to what can never be.
I have hell inside me.

I have hell inside me.
I have hell inside me!

2. Dark End

Welcome to the masquerade.
We're all pretending just to make it through the day.

What we do must never come to light.
Dwelling in the dark for what's wrong feels so right.
They're gonna find us, they're gonna find us at the dark end.
They're gonna find us at the dark end.

I'm smashed into pieces living hour by hour
Twenty four is too much to devour.
My eyes where blind but these words are so sour.
How does it feel to be alive?

How does it feel to be alive?
Here in my mind I've died a thousand times.

Dwelling in the dark for what's wrong feels so right.
Hand in hand my friend
This is the end.
My head is like a cage without a key
My thoughts run rampant.
These words I dare not speak.

In the shadows I wait and creep.

Sever my tongue to silence my speech.
So you may never lay eyes on this atrocity.

Seeking refuge in the depths for what we are must never see the surface.

So grim this game of skin were living in.
I'm not playing to win.

Despair is where I've made my bed
I'm not losing sleep.

Hell's inside my head!

When God fails, the noose prevails!

3. Collapse II

They told me to try when everything I've known is a lie.
To forgive, forget and let die.
Pain is a matter of the mind.
When will my agony subside.

They told me to try when everything I've known is a lie.
To forgive, forget and let die.
Pain is a matter of the mind.

You are cancer, I'm a cynic with every laceration
I know you fucking meant it, bitch!

I can't escape you, I'm coming apart at the seams.
My heads unraveling but your conscious is clean.
You don't know what you mean to me.
Can't you see what this does to me.
If I could speak my screams would be deafening.

I bite my tongue.
My minds the tree and these thoughts are my branches

Psychologically lynching myself day in and day out.
Day in and day out!

Am I pathetic?
Am I pathetic?!

Keep my head held high.
When all love began to subside.
That's when they told me kid, you better hang 'em high.

Hang 'em high, hang 'em high.
Hang me high, hang me high.

Hang me high, leave me to die.

Hang me high, leave me to die.

Hang me high, leave me to die.

I'll keep my head held high.
I'll keep my hopes held high.
That's when they told me kid you better, hang 'em high.
They say God has a plan
Well let me tell you kid it's a lie!

4. Apparition

[feat. Trevor Strnad of The Black Dahlia Murder]

Doomed to walk the earth alone.

I've lived as a Specter with disdainful thoughts of life.
For the dead can never hurt you.
Fear the ones that dwell among the light.

Dead but not allowed to die
Alive as good as dead.
Forgotten are the memories that once filled your head.

Hang me from the highest tree.

Hang me from the highest tree.
Sear me, wreckage of flesh I burn for thee.
No tears don't mourn for me.

[Trevor Strnad of The Black Dahlia Murders:]
Hang me from the highest tree
Wreckage of flesh I burn for thee.
I shoot you into my veins once again hoping to feel the light of the sun.
The choirs sing songs about the end in hopes that they may live again.

Left alive long enough to drain my last breath this is a fate more miserable than death.
Just let me cease to exist.

Built for dissection, I was born to lose.
This weight has sought to bury me.

I'm trapped here in this tomb.
Faint screams of desperation, my cries go ignored.

[Trevor Strnad of The Black Dahlia Murders:]
Into the void, submerge myself in darkness.
I am master of blight, fear all life.

The dead can never hurt you.
Fear the ones that dwell in the light.

[Dustin Mitchell and Trevor Strnad:]
I shoot you into my veins once again, hoping to feel the light of the sun.

5. Fatalist

I saw the sky collapse and rain down death from above.

I felt the earth tremble beneath my feet
Shaking the foundation of man.
We've wasted our lives on the here and now.
Thinking our new way of life is profound.

Living life for the minute, and not for the hour.
When will you open your eyes to see that everything you loved has died.

Everything you loved has died.

No regrets that's what you said
No regrets that's what you said
No regrets that's what you said.

To appease this digital age.

You're bought and sold and made a slave.
Never knowing you're one foot in the grave.
You're bought and sold and made a slave.
No regrets. No regrets that's what you'll say.

We where born to fucking rot.

We've brought this on ourselves.
We've brought this on ourselves.
We've brought this on ourselves!

The self righteous passing judgement on everyone else.

When you where bought and sold and made a slave.
Never knowing that you're one foot in the grave.
We all deserve to die, but I'm called a cynic.

I am pathetic but I admit it.
I am so selfish but I admit it.

6. Libertine

Pain as if knife just met bone.
Pushing the boundaries of pleasure that no man has known.

We have such sights to show you.
Break you, mold you, so if you think this is suffering
You've seen nothing yet.

I'm going to light up your body, and scorch every nerve ending, every sense is completely shattered.
Give yourself to me
When you start to scream your lighted eyes they slowly fade.

I breathe life into you just to take it all away.
This elasticity of skin you've bestowed unto me brings me to insanity.

I remember a time when I pledged my allegiance to the divine with compassion in mind.
Your skin is mine to oppress.
I am the heathen, I am pain.

I'm intoxicated dripping with the power of her flesh.

Illuminating what was once dark.
Pulling the lust from my heart to the surface.

I give in to these animalistic urges.
I am the heathen, I am pain.

I'm going to light up your body and scorch every nerve ending, every sense is completely shattered.
Give yourself to me
When you start to scream your lighted eyes the slowly fade.

You will suffer unto me!
This sensory overload will bring you to your knees.

Pain, pleasure and pain are one in the same, the two are indivisible.
Pain, pleasure and pain are one in the same, the two are indivisible.
Pain, pleasure and pain are one in the same, the two are indivisible
