Invoke The Black

A skull of concrete.
Brain like a feather, weak but strong in flight.
Others choose to hack wrists,
There's solution on the edge of a knife.

I have a strength that keeps me sane
With an elastic rebound frame of mind
That pulls me back on course.
For all my weaknesses, my will has kept me true,
Even when faltering I still believe in me.

What I learn within I can live without.
This introspective is a minefield of doubt.
A polished mirror reflects all that I lack.
A hammer blow to the soul when I invoke the black.

Ears back and teeth bared.
A fight or flight response to my own thoughts.
Hyper arousal.
Perceiving threats that my own mind has wrought.

I crave the drive to push me forth,
My life a stone carved tour de force.
My outcast ego brought to heel.
This false self confidence evolving towards
Solid validation and a chance to make my fake self real.

What I learn within I can live without.
This introspective is a minefield of doubt.
A polished mirror reflects all that I lack.
A hammer blow to the soul when I invoke the black.

Decide what I should show or hide.
I cry but I resolve to try.

Breaking addiction, a system set up to implode.
Self fulfilling prophet rein in a mind I should own.

Stone cold pathetic,
Drawn back by old habits and desperate thoughts.
It'll trap you if you let it.
My driving force ensures I don't get caught.

My state of mind somewhat deranged
In constant battle warring games
An interplay of light and dark
Maintained because I hold a weakness in my soul
That I accept and expect my will to win my force.

What I learn within I can live without.
This introspective is a minefield of doubt.
A polished mirror reflects all that I lack.
A hammer blow to the soul when I invoke the black.

I invoke the black.

Formed in mid 2014, Piss Viper hit the ground running; releasing their début EP; Horned Hands and Hardened Necks that same year.
