Grave Within a Grave

From the inside of my corpse, 30 seconds is like a century

Imprisoned in necrotic flesh, cognizant beyond my death

Paralyzed and frozen in this carnal penitentiary

Lucidly projecting hellish specters, ghoulish architecture

Enveloped in a darkness far beyond my mind can measure

Suffocating violent pressure, it just goes on forever

Are these electro-magnetic hallucinations?

Is this everybody's afterlife, or something I've created?

Abandoned and dismissed in a flaccid impotence

With the cold illumination that I no longer exist

In a grave within a grave, it was the first time I prayed

No one there to tell me that I shouldn't be afraid

Falling endlessly deeper, yet immobile and still

In this infinite aether, washing over my filth

Neither angels or reapers or ghosts were fulfilled

Just a cavity to soak up my guilt in my depravity

The flowers up above me wilting down so they can laugh at me

To think we spend our lives convinced we understand agony

A familiar voice ("He's finally at peace")

Shrieking through the silence to remind me I'm deceased

I tried to answer, but the dead can't speak

The biggest prison in the world's underground six feet

In a grave within a grave, within a grave

In a grave within a grave, within a grave (in a grave within a grave, within a grave)

In a grave within a grave (in a grave within a grave)

In a grave within a grave

It was the first time I prayed, in a grave within a grave

No one there to tell me that I shouldn't be afraid

Laid off your grave

Laid off your grave

Laid off your grave

Laid off your grave
