Helpless Sorrow
02:06
|
|

a being never quite fully meshed suffers alone
a being with a mind in constant motion
suffers no repose
a being living in shadow suffers, no one knows
a being lost everything
before they know what was had
it's hard to understand tragedy
when you can hardly read words
it's hard to construe meaning
when you can't fathom pain
it's hard to purge emotions
when you're entrenched in the dark
each breath is more ragged than the last

Out The Window
01:37
|

so hard to see the end of the maze
when you have no compass that guides
with no heading you can't reach the end without failure
no one helped me find my way
searching for the end, no end, there's no escape
the only path's through the dark
no glimmer of light there was nothing but fear

Bitter
01:42

|

haunted by mortality far to early
caused distortion of competent thought
unchecked are my compulsions
fueled by mania
an aberrations of competent thought
loneliness manifested by mistrust
longing to find a place in this world
or watch this world fade away
but I don't know

To Err Is Human
02:02
|
|

outlier cynic heretic
unseen hate
word used as weapons
to make others scared of my unhinged ways
outlier cynic heretic if only so poetic
give in to violence of these emotions
fueled by torment use the isolation to compose
outliers cynics heretics label we embrace
people who relate to being unhinged
orchestrate words as thoughtfulness
outliers cynics heretics

Fragmented

a decade of fake friends won't be here for the end
nothing gold ever stays and the world keeps spinning
I can not survive among the living creatures
we've plagued this place for far to long
your actions come to a standstill
not knowing what you need
we lie we cheat find a away
don't know how this will end
tied up knots and a broken head
fearing for every ingle thought check me in
emergency room failed you and me
broken homes long ago
it's unclear this road

An Empty Vessel
02:38
|
|
||
the horizon's gone and I'm trapped in this vessel
unable to navigate the flux of times tide
a lost ship caught in self-made peril
server communication from the land
drown the screaming trapped inside
I have no will left to speak
there's nothing left to true identity to share
I'll hold hands with "the beauty" in despair
unable to concede my egocentric tendency
all thoughts on selfish journey
the cycle of darkness has no end

Absence Acknowledged
03:40
|
|
||
the storm lingers in my bones
roaring winds rip through felt to the core
lungs frozen every breath is sharp
alive, I have always been
but now my being is weight able to bear
I journey into unknown depths
in darkness
I discovered shelter lingering undetected
a faint spark to create light
where nothing had lived so long
never had a guiding light just stumbling along
and survived dancing with the root evil
in darkness
it's now clear I created my own world
gained ground in the face of plight
but nothing will ever be enough
is it too late? do I open my eyes?
is it too late? can I survive?

We Exit Stage Left
03:30
|
|
||
an imposter supernova becomes a black hole
bright light flickers tired eyes open
nothing is new
cannot escape this gravity there's only reality
to never fully heal is the truest human trait
everyone has a scapegoat
animals that linger in shadow
everyone has a scapegoat
a clown who puts on a show
sarcasm a cure the perfect tool
just a veil to mask the disease "go away"
what is this act? who am I playing?
a person formed
a thin curtain covering the empty husk within
no joy found in the lives I've replicated
no catharsis in hiding the pain within

Profanity Continued
02:40
|
|
||
no longer bound to this world formalities
no longer bound to other day dreams
forever bound by my own nightmares
constant desire to lead
this is a detriment to our community
plain to see I'm not one of thee
convenience the death of humility
self righteousness cloaked as legacy
it's too late to wake up
society's become a narc on itself
there's nothing left our worlds in need of purge
burn it all
