THE GLOOM IN THE CORNER LYRICS

1. Misanthropic

"Las Plagas de la mente,
Yo soy a quien temes."
They call me Sherlock Bones,
Hell hound for the Devil's Throne.

I'll kill every last one of you
If it means I get to feel something.
Hail to the king.

Hell walks this earth
And it dwells beneath my skin.
Born of a dying mother and a violent father,
I'll do my best to snuff out your existence.
I was there when the rain fell;
When the reaper screamed "fear me",
And helped him out as well.
That boy did well, but I coulda done better.
So if you hear me coming,
Don't run, you won't get far.

Tell me what it's like, tell me what it's like,
Tell me what it's like being me, motherfucker.

It's like kicking rocks in the yard, with intentions to harm;
If death's on your heels, you won't get far.
The devil's on my back, the target's on my head,
Humanity's on my chest constricting my breath.
Disdain, with a foul taste; noose as a necklace.
I can't praise God while keeping a straight face.
Laughing away at his fucking mistakes.
I'm not psychopathic, just a little misanthropic.

Narcissistic to the bone.

So crawl, crawl on your knees,
Beg for forgiveness
For all your dirty deeds,
And your dirty needs
On your dirty knees;
In this house of wolves, no one hears your pleas.

No one talks, not even Jay says hi;
Just because he never got to kiss
His lover goodbye, huh.

Just 'cause I was the one that kicked out her chair.
It was funny, watching her dangle though; gasping for air.
Well, this whole shit show is ruled by an iron fist;
I'm not surprised that dick made a hit list.

He kicks rocks in the yard with the intentions to harm;
If I'm on your heels, you won't get too far.
The Devil's on my back, the target's on my head,
Humanity's on my chest constricting my breath.
(Up, down, spin around)
Disdain, with a foul taste; noose as a necklace;
I can't praise what's not really there with a straight face.
Doctor please, don't mishear me;
I'm not misogynistic, just a little misanthropic.

I was left outside the devil's gates.
So I overthrew him, and now the demons bow to me.
Not even God will save me now;
Don't you know; God Abandoned Me.

Each case comes another kill;
47 down, 47 to go.

I'm a bag of bones,
For the Bad Luck Hell hounds.

Iron cuffs, slapped on your wrist tight.
Spit blood, standing on your windpipe.
I'm that guy that brings a knife to a gunfight and wins.
(Only evil within, like a knife blade under the skin)

"A kill a day keeps the demons at bay;
But what happens when the only demon left is me?"
Choir, tell me, tell me, tell me; fucking tell me.

(Burning down your yard with intentions to harm
If he's on your heels, you won't get too far.
The devil's on your back, the target's on your head,
Humanity's on your chest, constricting your breath.)

Disdain, with a foul taste; noose as a necklace.
(You can't praise God with the devil in front of your face)
Laughing away at all your mistakes,
I'm not psychopathic, I just don't give a fuck what you think.

Fuck you.

"They call him Sherlock Bones."

I'm not psychopathic, okay maybe just a little bit
I'm not psychopathic, just a little misanthropic

2. Peace

[feat. Kadeem France of LOATHE]

Rain pours, washing away
Any trace of love
Replaced with dismay.
This room so quiet...
This room, so quiet without your voice;
The final bell calls but all I hear is noise.
The blind lead the blind and death follows suit
Consuming the people we thought we once knew.

There's a problem with the world today.

Coffin nail, oh how your echo haunts me.
Claiming what's not yours;
Taken to the dirt, forever more.
I've stood up so many times to say goodbye,
But this time I feel the fault is mine.

How many times did I watch you fall asleep?
How could have I known what you were dreaming?
I hope today that you're finally at peace;
A melancholic pause for loss and the in between

We all say that we should have known,
But it's always too late when the true scars start to show.
Will you remember me in the next life?
If you do, please know I tried.

And while you had suffering
I was left with loathe.

"Please wake me from this bad dream.
The darkness here is forever unending.
We once walked side by side;
Where are you now? Where are you now?
Father above, please hear me now.
You didn't before; I hope you're listening now.
You all watch me like a scapegoat.
Tell me; what did you do to fix my sorrow?"

We did nothing but walk on by,
Ignorant of what was on your mind.
You lost the battle, but we lost the war;
A kingdom falls, as do we all.

Live. Serve. Die.
(That's all we know)
Live. Serve. Die.
(That's all you know)
Live. Serve. Die.
(With S-1-3)
Live. Serve. Die.
(Carved in your tombstone)

You walked across a sea of flames,
But when the temperature rose we never bothered to help.
We forgot, left you behind, ignoring the pain in your eyes.
Now you're gone I can't find the words to say.

The right words to say.

(Dear old friend, my brother in arms
A soul so broken; we could not mend
I hope your soul rests in a world so calm
A more deserving end)

Rain pours, washing away
Any trace of love
Replaced with dismay.
You gave up all that you owned
Your love, your family, your home
But what I regret the most
Was giving up on you

3. Survivor's Guilt

An eye for an eye
Leaves the good men blind
I'm the last one alive,
But I'm burdened by the night.

I wish I had something
To say to make it better
Another notch to the rope,
Another burden to my crown.

(Depraved, disengaged)
There's nothing here to stop me from an early grave
(Tie the noose, follow through)
It's either join the ones I love or suffer as the Devil's muse.

An acquaintance of the hangman came to see me today;
Naïve to disarray.
You should've seen the look in her eyes
When she saw I lost the light in mine.

Clara my dear, I'm not a man filled with many regrets
I'm not a man filled with many regrets
But I wish I had taken my life instead.

Hated to the bone,
Yet she sees through my breaking nerves.

I opened my heart to a stranger.
Connected through woe, tormented angel.
She came to terms with who I am,
I won't let this become my final number.

Their weight comes crashing down
It's like I bear their conscience atop my crown
That sits so badly on my head
Fuck it, take me now

I watch their roses bloom and wilt
I wish to join them; this is survivor's guilt
Let me bleed like a weeping wound.

Take me instead,
I'd give them all their lives back for my death
Everyone I've ever loved, the dead in the mud.
Father forgive me for the damage I've done

4. Bleed You Out

I'm not here to save you, I'm here to put you down
Like the fucking bitch you are.
You can fight like a dog,
But I'm the fucking Hell hound.

I hold no remorse for the actions I partake in.
Take another life, claim another corpse.
An improper burial pray-tells your stolen limbs.

Now the Devil's come to drag you to the fucking flames;
The Hound hunts you down, the Hound calls your name.
I'll bring the heat with a smoking Glock and a serrated blade.
Can you feel the Fist of Doom crush your fucking spine?

You just got bled the fuck out
By the Devil of the Sect
'Cause God knows your worth,
And you're not worth shit.

Panic will bring the pain,
Death will bring the shame (wither away)
'Cause I'm too hateful to die;
Death is in my fucking name.

(Show me how you dance, motherfucker;
'Cause I'm about to make Grim Sleeper look like a fucking mercy kill.)

You've got a choice now; run and hide, live or die.
Burn the body and I'll take him to another life.
Burn what's left of the daughter's father's bones.
Let go of the past you hold.

Body, after body, after body.
Let go of the love you hold.
(The Devil falls to his back overwhelmed in pain
The Queen strikes a match, alighting what remains.)

Her father's bones aflame; the Devil prevails again.
He grabs him by the throat and says;

"Feel the Fist of Doom crush your fucking spine.
I am the Devil; fuck the reaper."

You don't need to see hell
'Cause it's here now, so suffer
Meet the last of a thousand deaths;
Lights out, motherfucker.

"Cut the motherfucker and bleed him out."

Die slow. Bleed you out.
(I'll piss on your grave to make sure nothing ever grows again.)
Cut him down.
Violent one, one with me

5. Deer Hunter

"The devil is as black as he is painted.
With sorrow and loss, you too shall become acquainted.
And so it was written…"

They said they wanted them dead, come daylight
I'll make sure they're dead before sunrise
If a man chooses, and a slave obeys
Then I'm a slave to everything they ever said

(I'm a slave, I'm a slave, I'm a fucking slave)
The gift of death will be the last thing you swallow
Slowly losing hope of seeing tomorrow

(Mindless), stuck inside the box
I'm not afraid of god, (I'm just afraid of being lost)
They said you know too much
So break me with the slightest touch
I'll make it clean, I won't make you suffer
Don't make a scene, (it only makes this harder)

A deer caught in the crosshairs
Of life's firing line
(Are you afraid to die?)
For once, I don't take any pleasure
In this definite end

Marked for death.

I'll breakdown all your fears
Without shedding a fucking tear

(Flesh and bone)
A feast for crows
Friend on friend, what a violent twist
I left her there, rotting in blood I spilt

They said they wanted her dead, come daylight
I'll make sure she's gone before sunrise
If a man chooses, and a slave obeys
Then I'm a slave to everything they ever said.

Conflicted between friends and enemies
The line between right and wrong is tearing at the seams
The only thing that's clear is nothing is black and white
In a world of grey, the innocent must die
In a world of grey, the innocent deer dies.

If a man chooses, and a slave obeys
Then I'm a slave to the reapers mind

I drive the blade in to the fucking hilt
Along with regret for every death I've dealt
And as your eyes meet mine, I begin
To feel something I've never felt;
Guilt

6. D.I.M.A.

"I just wanted to make you feel the same pain that I felt."

Step left, step right
Take it easy, one dream at a time
Spin around by the fire
And dance all night
I wish this feeling would never end
'Cause when I wake up
I start to loathe again

A penny for your thoughts?
You'd need blood money for mine.
Tell me once again how I make it out alright?
A waltz for every time memories fluctuate
How do I wake up when I've been dreaming,
For 2 years straight?

We dance around in circles
Like puppets on strings
You tell me to wake up
But I want to keep dreaming
She haunts me like a ghost
Burdened by shame
When I look in your eyes
You die in my arms, once again

Lilliputian snippets of what once was
A myrmidon to my deepest cycle
I cave to perpetual loss
Until we meet again, my love

I question our meaning,
The meeting, the haunting and everything in between
Every time we meet I fall into the ocean in your eyes
Into a slip, we're so careless.

We dance around in circles
Like puppets on strings
You tell me to wake up
But I want to keep dreaming
She's haunts me, like a ghost
Burdened by shame
When I look in your eyes
You die in my arms once again

Wither away
Like the paper in the flames
Like the melancholic thoughts
That stain my brain

We dance around in circles
Like puppets on strings
I wish I couldn't wake up
And leave you again

Dance around in circles
Like puppets on strings
I wish I couldn't wake up
'Cause I want to keep dreaming
Stop haunting like a ghost
Burdened by shame
When I look in your eyes
You die in my arms...
When I look in your eyes
I see you die in my arms again

"Only when I'm sleeping did I feel truly alive. At least I was with the one I love. But our love, the meaning of my retribution, was built on a fucking fallacy. I can't live with this; with what I've done. I killed you my love, and I'm killing this dream. You can finally be at rest. I just don't think we're meant to be. I just don't think I'm meant to be loved at all."

"We're stuck in a limbo
Between what God wants and what we need.
An angel shouldn't see the devil;
Like spectres shouldn't meet flesh and bone."
Because Rachel, my dear, we're worlds apart
And that's the pact that we should keep
So, when you fly up high
Just know that when I fall, we all fall down.

I can't take you dying in my arms
Over and over again
I can't stand to see you like this; as you see me.
I'm broken and useless
I've lost everyone I love
So maybe, just maybe
It's time to let me go.

Two minds, made as one; one of violence, one of love
Two minds fighting as one; the Devil, the Reaper.
I know now the blood on my hands is the one of my loves.
Sherlock, the Devil and Jay the Reaper; our mind will die as one

7. Can't Reach the Sun

"They say the Man in Black died of heartbreak
All I'm feeling is remorse for all my mistakes."

I feel my bones dwell beneath my skin
No time for heroes, a violence within
I turn my head to the horizon
In a land with no setting sun
All else is lost when the last knight falls.

"Remember when I said I was in your animal mind?
I'm releasing the animal."

Can you feel the crushing weight
Of everyone you tried to save?
Do you lay in this homemade grave
To confront every mistake you've made?
This hell you've walked inside your mind;
You're getting lost inside an angel's eyes
Block me out, and shut me down, put me in the ground
Burn the den of the wolf down.

The wolves surround me,
The snake entraps me.

I gave myself a facade of a smile
Because it gave me somewhere to hide
Bearing all, how broken am I?
Do I deserve every moment of exile?
I feel myself near the end
All hate is gone, all is left is regret
They say the Man in Black died of heartbreak?
All I'm feeling is remorse for all my mistakes.

(Son born of the animal mind,
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
I've come to seal you from the mind you stole
Like a kingdom of cards, you'll fold.)

Can you hear the devil calling my name?
Born to live and die by the flame
He plays tricks on the mind, I swear I'm sane
I'll make peace with this hell you made.

Out of one cage and into the next
From lion's den, to the hornet's nest
I was the hatred you grew in your head
Now I'm something even I detest.
This seal won't let me die
It just blocks me from your mind
But I'll always be there
Chained up behind your eyes.

The wolves surround me,
So take this life from me.

No matter how tall my throne of bodies shall be
I can't reach the sun, and it will never reach me.

They called me Sherlock Bones;
Hell hound to the Devil's Throne.
