I've had all I can but I want more Enough is not enough A whore for booze First sip - entrance to new worlds Then no amount fulfills Drink after drink, getting sick Sickness passes and I keep on Even sicker now, getting dizzy Stumbling into the kitchen Vomit in the sink and rinse Then to the fridge for one more Hardly staying afoot Bottles have all emptied Still, I need another, Surely I can still drive I swerve and skid along roads Catching my breath as I park A moment is needed To level my head Into the store once nausea passes Inept at hiding inebriation Trip over the doormat and pass out on the floor In early morning hours Awaken on cold asphalt Rank odor of garbage Hair thick with puke
2.
Stiff joints plant me in my bed Molasses blood and heavy, clogged chest Dizziness and ringing ears, empty head Dry and itching, heaving breath A swarm of half-forgotten regrets Timeless nights and days of indulgence Dignity stitched together in sober glimpses Torn open and bleeding fresh, seeps Stench of vomit-crusted carpet and rags Stinging bile, churning stomach Inescapable foreboding and hatred Only my poison can bring me ease My body as a vessel to steer and pollute Deluded by a disgusting confidence Nerves ravaged and trembling with absence Soothed only by the presence of "evil" Alluring ethanol's open-wide arms Disembodied euphoria, false power Rejection of humanity, save for abuse An abandonment of the soul Embrace wickedly deviant impulses Fueled by deep-seeded egomania With tainted blood running through tight veins Defeat comes in puddles of vile spew
3.
Ambitions stifled by hedonistic revelry Dissipated responsibility; abandonment Full stomach stretched with bread and wine Wildly dance through melding days Squander time and eat away longevity Disillusionment would be a virtue Madness and ecstasy - a shield of ignorance Ritualistic self-destruction Awaken daily, wretching, dry, burning Faint and crippled; throbbing veins Elusive sense of wasted life Constant subliminal urge to binge Absent-minded, trashing opportunity Aware of my failures, but stagnant I can't fathom abandoning my drink Acceptance of ever-recurring sabotage Ounce by ounce, never slowing down Piss flowing like a dank river Stumble, dribble, guts rumble Look forward to a failing liver I ache and crackle with each step Body empty and organs ravaged Ulcers burn; eyes throb, yellow Deserving of my foul state
4.
The weight is heavy Compresses my spine Dull pain beneath the eyes Thoughts of all crashing down Risk of life crumbling Apparently not enough Horrible confidence To sabotage the self Hindsight makes me sick With impossible choices What has been done refuses To relinquish its pressure It all makes me sweat Shake my head in self-hatred To remove myself from the past Is impossible to achieve Only so much can be smothered With drugs and glass bottles Which only makes more lies come forth To the undeserving faces

Dryness 03:14
Uncertainty looms Time slows; thick fog accumulates in the mind Sudden panic creeps in The day stretches before me Illustrates my spiral Dryness calls to be sated But I must stay dry Against my will Empty pockets hinder me Uncomfortable sobriety Hands and vision tremble Nothing left to pawn No value left in life Staring into the mirror I slit my throat with a knife The skin tears open like paper Spectacular flow of blood I collapse in the red pool Never more satisfied
7.
Vicious impulse plucking at my nerves Drunkenly tripping over toppled bottles Dusted off with keys in hand Out into the cold fog for more Blurred street lights shaking in my vision Ignorant to the swaying and scraping on the curb Breath of rank yeast and stale malt Hazy corner store memory blends with all the rest Ridden penniless but with a cushion for the night The morning will bring the drive to scrounge For now my golden treasure sates me I can forget the paranoid struggle awaiting Rollicking in deep inebriation Vulgarity and profane exploits abound Total disrespect for reputation Beyond separation from the sober self Gripping cold aluminum in hand Final drops dribble down my chin Frozen hours of night disguised by drunken warmth Accompanied by unfathomable dismay
8.
Fingers tremble; drip cold sweat Wiped from the brow tense and wrinkled - pale Delirious from throbbing pain Ridden manic by dreams which blend with waking life Withered figures that hide skulk about the corners of my vision They thicken the air Pressure builds on my chest If they do speak, it is faint enough to meld with my own deluded thoughts I live reclusive in darkness Paranoid; light may illuminate the forms For weeks now, shut away Entirely consumed I cannot leave though food and medicine are nil Slowly, they take control and I am rendered hazardous If I go out now their ramblings will manifest through my speech and actions Definite disturbance of peace Blood-drenched dreams have me seeing red Those rotting horrors exude their vile stench

Eat the Slop 04:48
Pen in hand, stare at a blank page Some scribbles of ideas All stale and rehashed Completely burnt out I want to be finished - Get words down and be done Why have the ideas ceased? Creative streak halted Some bands just write the same shit Generic blasphemy and gore Cringeworthy jargon Some nonsense about rape Fans pound their hammers and eat the slop presented All these lyric videos could be the same fucking slam track (wreet wreet) murder (wreet wreet) fuck jesus (wreet wreet) rape (wreet wreet) baby death They burn through medical dictionaries Getting soggy from the circle jerk "We need five words ending in '-osis'" Gotta finish this long-winded bullshit If they're really strapped for ideas they could rip off Lovecraft Like I did for my previous album God dammit, I'm a hack fraud

about

Grand Wormwood is the sophomore album by one-man brutal death metal band Hate Inclination from Fresno, California. This follow up to 2017's Disease Swept the Cosmos veers away from science fiction themes and instead focuses on more realistic terrors such as alcoholism and psychosis.
Heavy, raw, and guttural.
