DETESTATION - BLOOD OF THE GODS 7"

BLOOD OF THE GODS

The grayest day is tainted with the squalor and the lies

An endless stream of tedium falls like rain from Portland skies

I stare into the darkness and wonder what it means

This timeless stretch of awkwardness

Of broken spirits and shattered dreams

Depression follows me like a fucking curse

And if anything ever changes it's usually for the worse

But I smile and laugh nervously as I reach out for a drink

As I launch another assault on my abilty to think

I'm still searching for oblivion and I'm sure I'll find it yet

Through painful nights half remembered filled with sorrow and regret

Blood of the gods

Acceptance in a bottle 40 ounces of a frien

Borrowed begotten confidence he's only happy to lend

Blood of the Gods

As I lay here in the aftermath with an aching spinning head

My mouth as dry as cotton I'm wishing I was dead

I wish that things were different that I could pretend they were okay

But it's hard to face the prospect of another pain-filled day

TWILIGHT OF MY SANITY

I've seen the most outspoken consumed by their own greed

I've seen the most self-righteous sell out with lightining speed

For a job or cash or the promise of a life secure and warm

Complacency embodied in it's most conniving form

It can happen overnight or be dragged out over years

Pursued by lurking ever present spectral shapes of fears

I've seen my friends turn to lifeless burned out shells

Sink slowly into the quicksand of their private living hells

I've seen the glow of life fade slowly from their eyes

As the drift towards oblivion and the self-induced demise

Clinging to the edge of the abyss of their despair

Searching for the answer that probably isn't there

I wander alleys, graveyards full of broken dreams

Shattered bottles resound like peals of despairing screams

I feel my sanity slipping like a rotting funeral shroud

A naked world, stripped of meaning makes me want to cry out loud

Oblivion summons me like a mournful sirens call

It's so fucking tempting to answer, and just say fuck it all

Twilight of my sanity, twilight of my mind

I'm tired of the futile search for the peace I cannot find
