Safely in this feeling
darkened blinders to deceive
Fake but not for those who
think it true and cannot see
-- Never question I
in mind's eye there is but one
all else fails to see it done
-- Perspective is a lie
if you stray you will be lost
there is no path but that you're taught
Rapt - all that they long for
Contradictions left unheard
Rage will spread the safety
of that old familiar word
Fear will hold them closely
darkened blinders to deceive
Fake but not for those who
think it true and cannot see
Faith marches on with its legions
casting shadows of bewilderment
-- Never question I
in mind's eye there is but one
all else fails to see it done
-- Perspective is a lie
if you stray you will be lost
there is no path

Into the Maw

Staring back into the past he found
Face on pavement more inviting
than any chemical breach
Sold it all, found nothing else,
Forgot what it’s like to not need
To care for this beast
A ravenous obsession
The voice was loud and clear it drew him in.
Staring down into the maw he found
Solace not known to him before gazing back at him
The voice was loud and clear it drew him in.
Come to me
Do not sway
I will show
You the way
have no fear
This is right
Walk straight in
To the light
come to me
I will take
All your pain
Your heart aches
No more doubt
No more grief
come with me and you will find your peace
Come to me
Do not stray
I will take
You away
Broken past
I will mend
Come with me
To your end
The asphalt lines ahead form your path
Embrace the blinding void with awe

The Absolute Nothing
04:17

trying to avoid the rain
exposing all my vanities
for you to point and blame
all we've learned till now
is nothing worth knowing
all we've gained
is nothing at all
all we ever had was
false hope for failure
a chance to reclaim
what has never been
now the rain has cleared away
showing all my fallacies
for you to point in shame
we have never gone so far
we have never dared to reach
and so we've stayed behind
behind
collecting these memories
all they mean, is the absolute nothing
all that'll remain from us
has already been lost
in the tables of time
we chase in vain these dreams
but all we have is the moment we’re in
to cherish to hold to grieve
for the memories lost in the storm

Unborn

Could we pretend this is the first time
Strangers in a peculiar world
We dance close to the edge
you called me out
Can we play like we used to do
Our inane games
You hold the match, i will be the wind
We ignite the eventide
with madness in our eyes
Finding solace in the lie
you called me out
I will follow you in
show me where
And fall
hold my hand
down
we descend
I
will provide relief
Reveal your hurt
We are forever
In this plight
we endeavor
lost
try to escape me
And you will find that we are bound
as one
I am unborn and still conceived
I am the product of your fears
I am your ego in disguise
I am the path of your demise
I am the bitter sweet relief
I am the hours of your grief
I am the one and only truth
you find when nothing else holds true

now as acceptance washes over me
the voices gone and all that's left is clarity
I have made my peace
I look over to say my goodbyes, and my heart fills
With remorse, eyes wide open, I finally realize.
What is left by my void is the rift in your lives
All the pain and the anguish that you’ll feel
when I'm gone
and no letter, no words, and no song will ever mend
Please forgive me, I’ve wronged you, blinded by despair
All the light and your guidance, I threw it all away
now who will be here for you
when I am dead and gone
I vanish into oblivion
A chasm embroids my sorrows
On those I sought to spare
I vanish into oblivion
A chasm embroids my sorrows
On those I sought to spare

Even Death May Die

I let my emotions take me
all of their conjuring ways
Adrift I find myself wondering
How can I turn pallid fortune
Into chaotic flame
These blameless circumstances crashing
I want to see where it can take me
I want to see how far we'd go
and all the promises it made me
I want to see if they were true
and with every passing moment
the thoughts will weave away and fall
and my attempts to bring them closer
will only tear apart my soul
I vow to face my internal strife
Like a Phoenix rising, I will find resolve in
Charred remnants of my waking life
alive again
from this moment I will regain
my sense of real
empathy comes with every blow
I will swear not to let it go
and just be
I let my emotions break me
And put me in check as I fall
The weight of consequences guides me
All my restraints unshackled
Become a chaotic flame
My reservations brightly burning
alive again
from this moment I will regain
my sense of real
empathy comes with every blow
I will swear not to let it go
and just be

Embers
05:43

You roam these sands alone.
The scorching sun a burden on your naked skin.
As you wear your mark of cain
You’ve seen as many days as grains of sand
One certainty:
You’ll soon be facing death
You drop down to your knees and to the skies you plea,
And then horizon reveals to you a brilliant isle of green.
under the shade of sycamores
you find your peace
you lay your head on protruding roots
and fall asleep
You dream of tyrants rule, all the power held by you
as they all fell down to their knees.
And on your tyrant's throne you finally felt at home
as if the sands were just a distant dream.
but then you feel the sting of embers on your skin
You wake to see a burning isle of green

Away With Onself

I, a stranger to myself, am receiving
These words, I know, I must accept, but how?
My eyes come bulging out my skull
And my heart, my heart explodes
Now I recognize my own weakness
I, a danger to myself, am begging
for you, to see how I become my own demise.
I dig,
The dirt beneath my nails
proof of my anguish
My aching heart screams mercy

I want to hold the hand inside you
I want to take the breath that's true
I look to you and I see nothing
I look to you to see the truth
You live your life, you go in shadows
You'll come apart and you'll go black
Some kind of night into your darkness
Colors your eyes with what's not there
Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew
A stranger's light comes on slowly
A stranger's heart without a home
You put your hands into your head
And then smiles cover your heart
Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew

Notion of Gravity
02:59
|
|

Tragedy is a familiar theme,
even if only in your eyes.
You might vacillate your options,
but genetic memory is steering the wheel.
In a semi lucid motion you find the way down
With open arms, you let it in.
Over the edge you climb.
Instant regret replaces hope
for alleviation, a moment now lost.
Devoured by hysteric gravity
Pulled down, into erroneous bliss
With open arms, you let it in.
Over the edge you climb
With open eyes that cannot see
Into the end you dive
Devoured by this notion of gravity
Pulled down, down

Let Them in Your World
04:30

These violent tantrums
Only hide
Only draw attention
Away from the true narrative
These angry outbursts
Are a facade
Narrated to distract from
What may lay
beneath the surface
What’s in your heart
Hidden from all
Let them in your world
Inside out
These outrageous comments
Meant to obscure
They only mask intentions
I see right through
These false impressions
What’s hiding behind
Your empty declarations
Let them in your world
Inside out
Don’t pretend that
nothing matters
or nothing ever will
