Guttermouth

[Instrumental intro - full of tension & grief] [Verse] No spark of breath ignites my way A hollowed hull in decay Cadaverous gaze, shadows confide A fugitive from life’s cruel ride Entombed in debt's abyssal clutch The toxin creeps, the incurable crutch The fool's voyage through life's bitter joke A hollow journey, where hope's spirit broke [Chorus] Each fetid touch turns to ash Unyielding in fate’s cruel sash The cosmos signals through the dark Yet still, I don’t heed its stark mark Revelation comes too late For hope's blind, fractured gait In this cycle, forlorn we churn Ashes rise before we burn [Verse] Bound by vows in this fragile snare Affection fades, just hollow air Eros withers in silent despair Duties remain, yet passion’s rare Crushed beneath the mundane strife Generous spirit cut by life In ignorance, tangled minds reside Not a hero, just adrift in the tide [Chorus] Each fetid touch turns to ash Unyielding in fate’s cruel sash The cosmos signals through the dark Yet still, I don’t heed its stark mark Revelation comes too late For hope's blind, fractured gait In this cycle, forlorn we churn Ashes rise before we burn [Bridge] In twilight's clutch, we gasp for air, Bound to dreams that lead nowhere. Footsteps crumble, spirit worn, In this passage, we are forlorn. Tattered sails under endless gloom, Adrift in fate, sealed in doom. Silent echoes of the lost, A journey worn by ceaseless cost. [Verse] Existence whispers a faded breath, Specter heart in a shroud of death. Vacant hollows, eyes betray, Wanderer lost on a shadowed sway. Entwined in chains of ill-fated debt, Poison's grip, a relentless threat. A jest of fools, this weary plight, In hollow echo, fades the light. [Chorus] Each fetid touch turns to ash Unyielding in fate’s cruel sash The cosmos signals through the dark Yet still, I don’t heed its stark mark Revelation comes too late For hope's blind, fractured gait In this cycle, forlorn we churn Ashes rise before we burn [Verse] Existence whispers a faded breath, Specter heart in a shroud of death. Vacant hollows, eyes betray, Wanderer lost on a shadowed sway. Entwined in chains of ill-fated debt, Poison's grip, a relentless threat. A jest of fools, this weary plight, In hollow echo, fades the light. [Outro] No valiant act, no ember bright In shadows cast, we end the fight. Dreams dissolving in the night, A weary soul, drained of its light. Resigned in defeat, our tale is told, Worn and silent, as hearts turn cold. In the heartshaped gutter, we find our rest, Life's weary echo, a final, silent jest.
