(VERSE 1) Put them in fear of the dark silhouette comin' down The stairs / Wearing all black / Tearin' shit up without Remorse / Born of the night / Forged in the underground Somethin' proud of where it came from and made it count Hate me now or love me / Either way I'm consuming Everything in my path / Enemies I'm entombing In shallow graves and makeshift coffins around the way Let'em know all of my rivals should now get down and pray That's how I made the wire in my blood activate Nocturnal thuggin' / Strangulation's my favorite way Eliminating competition / It's kill or be killed Even those afraid to battle me still will be thrilled Tortured souls and restless spirits defy logic My interior psyche's architecturally gothic And I ain't stoppin' from livin' my life kamikaze Till I'm ridin' shotgun with Lucifer in a black buggati (CHORUS) Things will never be the same / Entire lives rearranged I have arrived / And they will know now With my unquenchable need / On your fears I will feed I have arrived / And they will know now (VERSE 2) Bring out the dead / I'm no longer a silent killer I went from psychological horror to violent thriller Picture me rollin' in a death proof vehicle grippin' A double barrel sawed off shotgun ready to hit'em Up when I see'em / Speak of the devil / Here I am On the road to perdition again / A wicked man Unattractive and sick on the mic like Bray Wyatt They look at me like a wendigo and stay quiet See through my eyes like Brainscan / I'm homicidal Surveillance footage of my arrival has gone viral I'm rhymin' under the influence of somethin' wicked Like my body's a vessel for vengeful apparitions Shadows of my unsolved crimes / I cast them wisely Fuck'em all / I'm too far gone now to put it mildly They've held me back for too long now / I'm unshackled And I'm ready for battle / Walking out this derelict chapel (VERSE 3) Immortal wanderer torn between worlds observin' Dead black eyes and razor smiles on faces lurkin' I'm always down for whatever October involves In the ravine exchanging glances with Monsterdolls When autumn calls I fall under it's spell enthralled Till they shit on me then I wanna kill'em all And then return to the Schattenjager / I'm not a player I just fuck a lot of shit up to murder the game later Innovative like Tommy Dreamer taking lashes From a Singapore cane to his back in a savage Display of honor and endurance / I'm currently fightin' A war in my head fueled by rage and lit my lightnin' Like a storm came sweeping over the battleground My thunder sounds like God himself brought the gavel down In the end you'll be dumbfounded and soakin' wet And I'll be flickin' a cigarette at the accelerant

(CHORUS) (2X) Immortal wanderer... sippin' on the devil's own... Hellish elixir they'll... never know when I'll be home... I keep it wicked so... tell'em all... let it be known... Vengeance is mine... wherever I decide to roam... (VERSE 1) Sharpen my gaze like I'm in the midst of a tarot reading With sirens wailing off in the distance / The air I'm breathing Is rarely clean and sometimes I feel like I'm weighted down By some accursed enchantment but I'm still standin' proud Whenever I come back around I'm on sacred ground When I was young I learned never to let your hatred cloud My judgement even when trouble is at my door or death is Around the corner / I'mma hold'em sufficiently breathless With my story cause I was destined to penetrate Beyond the veil and if they question my mental state I'll kill the flame and make it an even darker image Hauntingly vivid / My artistry is hard to mimic I'm from the city of bridges but a wandering spirit And a stone throw away from an early grave / You hear it In every bar and every verse and every song Knowin' my physical presence on this earth won't be long (VERSE 2) From psych ward visits combined with years of outpatient treatment To metronomes and writing verses for lacing beats with Destined to flow like a river and I know they ain't ready Collect my thoughts as I stand alone on the Cape May jetty Makin' the deadly art of survivin' treacherous waters Unpredictable like that shotgun wielding woman in Martyrs Shielding the flame when I spark up in the dark / I'm only Human but livin' a life I knew would be different / Don't be Afraid to follow / The places I go are world's apart I'm touchin' down at LAX as it's gettin' dark Hours later I'm drivin' Sunset and bumpin' Tech N9ne "Trapped In A Psycho's Body" lookin' to whet My appetite with an LA Woman kissin' the sky In a SoCal bungalow / God I love it when she get high Within a few days I'll be back in Three River Country Crashin' on the couch in the studio cause I'm still hungry

(VERSE 1) First thing I remember was the sound of a light wind I was on my back on some dirt ground A little dazed / Starin' straight up at the sky With an enigmatic shade of orange and not a single cloud I sat up to observe my surroundings Dumbfounded by the wide open field of dry brown grass And the wall of impenetrable wilderness Circling it all / Helping keep away the winter's grasp When I saw what appeared to be a house Which stood like an island then it hit me like a shotgun Overwhelmed by it's tomb-like presence And enamored by the way the light made it turn to oxblood Walking a lone path heading toward it I Barely even noticed that cabin on the hillside Or the old man sitting in his yard / He was strummin' a guitar Eyes black / I can hear'em hummin' (CHORUS) (4X) I can see ghosts in your eyes... Like windows of a dark house at sunrise (VERSE 2) Next thing I remember were the chimes On the porch hanging off to the left of the rocking chair Every window had not one closed shutter or a curtain Telling me somebody is in there When I went around back after knockin' at the front door Nobody answered / Curiosity Got the best of me / It wanted to feed All I need is to find another way inside then I'll be Able to understand what's goin' on I was caught off guard by a hand pressed against the glass Of the kitchen door windowpane and a flash Of a woman's face but it all just happened so fast I shook it off... turned the knob... when I entered I Faintly heard a record player comin' from the foyer Echoing the same tune the old man played I was mesmerized by the needle as the vinyl spun (VERSE 3) Last thing I remember was the needle For a split second looked like a finger with a sharp nail And the translucent figure that appeared On the couch in the next room poised with a dark veil On her face then another brushed past me Heading up the stairs / Disappearing on the landing Then one after another came in view They too did not seem to acknowledge me standing Right there / Catching sight of the faded brown Pictures in the hallway / They all had a strangely Familiar face I'd come across before I heard a woman's voice at the front door say "Please Come outside" I'd recognize my Black haired diamond's anywhere / Threw open the door and I ran out / She was nowhere to be found When I looked back at the house every window had a face at it

(VERSE 1) These wicked streets keep intensifyin' the war within me Allowing the voices in my head to reign in those dimly Lit passageways and the mental chambers my brain's constructed Sometimes I feel so diminished yet still able to function To some degree where I can fake a more cheerful demeanor Fearful of what you might see beneath the Virginia creeper I used to love it but nowadays I'm so uninspired My wandering spirit's spent the past year lost in the mire And all the while my state of disrepair's been well hidden Despite the faces I've caught at my windows looking in when I drop my guard cause often times it feels senseless Like my failed attempts at rekindling childhood friendships I'll never get back / The fact is I'm nearly reaching my breaking point On a regular basis clearly seeking a haven void Of all these uncontrolled thoughts physically manifesting And the fog has never looked so visually arresting (CHORUS) I'm in a delicate state / Can't even keep my head straight I wanna self medicate / Until I no longer care Battling these demons inside / Feels like I'm losing my mind And I can't see cause I'm blind / From all the smoke I exhale Whenever enemies tread / On me is when I see red So stay the fuck out my head / Cause I don't want'em in there Caught in this ill-fated trap / And all these walls painted black I feel them pulling me back / To where the banshees wail (VERSE 2) Always casting their ominous shadows Like bottomless pools of ink / If I could only unravel The mystery behind every decision I've been makin' I sit alone in the dark almost inhumanly patient Waiting to break away like a sheet of ice on the water And drift off into a silent oblivion / The Daughter of TIme is truth and I refuse to acknowledge her presence Both our reflections are going in opposite directions The substances in my system have gone and left me numb While something not of this world's begun composing my requiem The setting sun turns the clouds in the sky to dying embers In fireplaces / If I could escape I'd try and venture Beyond the walls of indifference which I'd met with before Making me see no other options I'm able to explore I seen the door at the end of the hallway creaking open Knowin' they'll one day find me on the floor bleeding and broken (VERSE 3) Just like a stranger committing to paper What an initially skeptic reader would think it later A vivid account of a doomed poet spiraling downward Plus oscillating between dazed and violent outbursts My darkest hours involve a figure lookin' back at me With satisfaction in it's eyes while maniacally laughing Try and imagine the deafening silence soon to follow Killing my hunger / Consuming even less food tomorrow My source of revenue can't keep up with my thirst for something To numb my sense of despair / I've come to worship one thing The people I thought I knew became harbingers of pain And I fell prey to their bullshit / In the end charge it to the game I start to shake as my eyes roll back like an exorcism Is taking place when I'm standing on the edge of the prison Roof in my head as if I'm escaping the Shalebridge Cradle Diving headfirst into the black which may later prove fatal

(VERSE 1) Evidently I'm a product of a dark environment With a deepening obsession Even in the cold I'm fired up with aggression And I'm tired of holding back from screaming with a vengeance Chemical dependencies no longer control me I'm a soldier on a mission determined to brave the storm Dangerously torn between the world of the living And the realm of the dead I'm ready to be reborn Pourin' over me the red rain is coming down in buckets Fuck it I'm lookin' back up at the sky Smilin' in the face of Armageddon I'll die Before giving an inch or submitting I will defy Gravity shackling me I'm now reaching beyond To show'em all what they never thought I was capable of As the shadows blanket the world save for the above And the dying light of day has time bathing in blood I'mma open up my arms (CHORUS) They all wanna see me dead in the water One man's laughter is another manslaughter Nights are getting darker but I ain't done yet Till my silhouette against a blood red sunset (arms spread) I'mma finish what I started Demons in my mind gonna fight with me regardless Life is getting harder but I ain't done yet Till my silhouette against a blood red sunset (VERSE 2) There's a method in my madness With an element of fear surgin' in my lyricism Lyrics still matter in Benjamin's world listen Every bar I've ever spit was first written in crimson Syncin' up with the insidious rythms lurking Underneath the surface a perfect murder of crows Circle in the air I'm staring back at the ghosts of my past With a cache of ammunition for those Lookin' to attack and weaken my foundation I'm the most passionate fan of rap you could imagine Though I identify with the wicked shit the most Don't mean I ain't got love for the culture that made it happen Grabbin' life by the throat cause I'mma make it my bitch My favorite cousin Frankie Von Doll told me that shit Just one of the few who I wanna make proud of me Now the dead woman in the painting's reaching out for me While screaming my name (VERSE 3) I'm utilizing every ounce of adrenaline Rising like an August Moon at dusk Signifying just how much I'm able to crush anybody in my way I never felt such a rush Still can't get enough of your attempts to derail my endeavors I sure as hell ain' t gon' make it easy for you Pullin' into park I ain't Rollin' In a 64 But like Pistol I'mma Hit'em Like A Bullet Tore through every single part Of their body armor if you wanna start a war I'mma ratchet up the tension When I catch'em slippin' I'mma get'em and diminish Any hope of escape and then I'll laugh with a vengeance Entering the yard approachin' the graveled terrace Where I'll Stand for the Fire Demon with the sole Desire to look him right in the eye while I'm bleedin' To deprive him of any satisfaction of control Cause I'm no longer afraid...

(VERSE 1) Poeticizing my darkness and voicing my wicked Thoughts gave me an outlet for this poison to exit Out of my system / Every song's a mission accomplished Though its a common misconception I gotta be honest You really don't know where an artist is comin' from Cause those outside of it are quick to judge but there are some Willing to give it a chance and have an open mind Cause the one's who identify with it refuse to blind Themselves to this cold world or deny their own evil Humans are animals too and there's two kinds of people The ones who live and the ones who breath / There is a difference So why's it wrong for a musician to test their limits? And help their listeners feel that they are not alone It's not uncommon for the masses to fear the unknown To fight the devil you gotta be a devil yourself And willing to venture into your own personal hell (CHORUS) I spit the wicked shit to keep me from dying within Nothing to lose so I'm not afraid of trying to win The war is on and the lightning is striking again I'm fighting my inner demons with a mic in my hand I spit the wicked shit to keep me from dying within Nothing to lose so I'm not afraid of trying to win I'm fighting my inner demons with a mic in my hand The war is on and the lightning is striking again (VERSE 2) Silence is golden while in the presence of quiet souls Orchestrating these dark symphonies blessing microphones Okay, I'm reloaded fully intent on absorbin' The impact / Embracing the dark and reinforcin' My armor / Pouring my heart into a tenebrous portrait Of an emcee driven with a venom that's coursin' Through his veins and wylin' like a headless snake writhing During moments of clarity I meditate striving For perfection even though I'm not perfect / I never Listened when they said Horrorcore's a fruitless endeavor Though I'm not against stepping out of my comfort zone The underground is the only place I've felt at home And had I known the exact moment when I said fuck it And gave it my all without thinking I'd make a profit I'd feel this immense weight lifted off of my shoulders I'd have started decades ago but now I have closure
