Nails - Benighted

Feeling paralyzed, crossed by waves of radiation

Malevolent roots invading the structure

Corrupted DNA

Dark essence of the centuries running through contaminated grounds

Threatening trees, carapace of bones, sharp and poisoned

Digging the surface

The mud filling the wounds

Merciless nature

Your treachery hidden behind a friendly face

Mutating, my skull wide open to the world, defenseless

Annoying sounds never stop, they consume my nerves

I broke them a thousand times

Cracked the ruins of my nails

Your yellow horns appear, greedily gnawing my feet

Feeding my genetic curse

Defying my bodily integrity

Like the claws of the sleeping beast inside your trunk

You crack the ruins of my extremities

Turn the scared child into a monster

I broke them a thousand times

Cracked the ruins of my nails

Enslaved to your will, in this new-born corrupted form

A tortured silhouette

A thick and cracked bark

Covering the fake scars inherited from a manipulated genealogy

Where lies become a legitimate truth

Where «who I am» can finally be buried

To endure the simple fact of being alive

I broke them a thousand times

Cracked the ruins of my nails
