Suffocating Flesh
04:25
|
|||
|
clawing at my pale flesh
longing for my own
torturing confinement
behold the unveiling of blood
I condone myself for this
I know of no other way
to obtain this blasphemous form
bring forth this method of escape
harrowing existence
seeping beneath the surface
frantic crisis
blackening my soul
I
rid myself of
this
vessel
I
free myself from
this
human vessel
agonizing corruption
crawling beneath my skin
excruciating longing
never to meet an end
oh, please just hear me
this is all I ask for
please, just help me
I hate this suffocating world
oh, please just hear me
this is all I ask for
please, just help me
I hate this suffocating world

I Am a Demon
03:54
|

|
hear my cries for deliverance
I want to live my life without this abhorrence
cursed by flesh born creatures
to live among them
immersed in their realm
this is my hell
immersed in myself
this is my hell
I am a demon
born in foreign flesh
I am eternal corruption
confined by humanity's dread
immersed in their hell
there is only myself
immersed in this hell
there is only myself
I am a demon
projections of deep red fever
tormented by the clinging dread
I claw at this mortal facade
longing for my true self

Cathartic Cruelty
03:58
|
|||
|
I cannot stand these creatures
filled with such bitter hate
I don't belong among them
I never want to conform
I feel myself unraveling
a piece of me giving in
my skin pulls me away
bringing me to carnage, carnage
eager fingers wrapped around my infernal blade
with blasphemous intentions I stalk my next pray
oh, how I wish to torment them
make them feel this irreparable agony
violently murder with satisfaction
a cathartic cruelty that must be done
please, don't run away
I don't always want to kill you
this cold blade against such fragility
it longs for the warmth within you
yes, such wonderful blood
feel this frigid fever
such a release
I feel so alive, so real
finally I know what makes me
complete

hear me
calling to the nine hells
hear me
calling to my kind
take me
I cannot live in this vessel
take me
free my soul
with precision
the steel against human flesh
no small incision
to hollow out this sacrifice
flames flickering to their screams
the blade dripping with blood
demonic force flowing through
it awakens deep within me
come forth
bring your nefarious desires
come forth
bring your blackened blood
come forth
hell's choir of creatures
come forth
this will not be for nought
this circle is complete
candelabras of flames
symbols of summoning
an empty body
the blood drawn for birth
the body given for death
let this vessel be shattered
and the new shall be eternal
hear me
exire hoc corpore
hear me
libera animam meam
hear me
liber sum
hear me
ego sum daemonium

Dysphoria
05:27
|
|||
|
blackened window
obscured by human skin
growing from within the confines
eyes of fated hell
too dark to perceive
such nihility
too dark to read
fingers against blackness
we cannot see
nails against my cold reflection
blind to me
a form unfamiliar
gazing back at me
it makes my soul press against my bones
a vessel, a prison
defied by my own volition
disgust, isolation
eternally hidden
mortal prison
hellish chasm
deep red stone
home emanating from the cracks
such sincerity
the heat permeates my soul
I crave this feeling
I cannot be here
such a bitter state
such a shame
condemned to live this life
in vain
self loathing
it's endless
locking me inside myself
restricted by life's essence
my repressed form, confined
my core rattles
chain like bones
this is not enough
hysterical
it's so cruel
there's nothing I can do

about
The culmination of creations of pain and release in one little EP has been a very cathartic release to work on. I’ve never written material so personal to me so putting this out feels like I’m essentially coming out as a demon to the world. It’s terrifying and freeing.

Leprous Daylight
by Fossilizationsupported by 4 fans who also own “I Am a Demon”
So after spending the better part of the last 2 years going as hard as possible at every extreme metal show I could on the US East Coast, you could say I'm burned out on death metal music lol. I'm sorry, but after seeing hundreds of great bands - shit just seems kind of same-y to me, you know? So it takes something really special to bring me back into the death metal fold. Fossilization are my boys & this is an amazing work of art. I cannot recommend it enough. Now... back to my Coltrane 😂🤣
