With too many things to come to terms with we tend to turn them into bottles
Hiding from our greatest failures by twisting harder at the throttle
Winding up in quite a whirlwind until we lack the time to reminisce
Upon our deepest fears until we convince ourselves they don’t exist
But all dreams come to an end as our crutches give away
We wake to the realization that the pain will always stay
As dark a place you hide it somehow it will find the light
So this mirage that we’ve created now it doesn’t seem so bright
All the anguish of existence in a world we feel no sense of control
We hide behind the scars that prove that our young hearts are really old
Behind that hardened smile lingers the ghost of our self torment
It rests within the void created by the things we cant forget
Because all dreams come to an end as our crutches give away
We wake to the realization that the pain will always stay
As dark a place you hide it somehow it will find the light
So this mirage that we’ve created now it doesn’t seem so bright
The scapegoat we’re in search of never seems to fall alone
Because the lie that we’ve created never lets us feel at home
Only images of contentment that our cold grey eyes perceive
So do we lack the strength to fight or do we just wish we would believe?
But all dreams come to an end as our crutches give away
We wake to the realization that the pain will always stay
As dark a place you hide it somehow it will find the light
So this mirage that we’ve created now it doesn’t seem so bright

The View From Halfway Down
The weak breeze whispers nothing
The water screams sublime
His feet shift, teeter-totter
Deep breath, stand back, it’s time
Toes untouch the overpass
Soon he’s water bound
Eyes locked shut but peek to see
The view from halfway down
A little wind, a summer sun
A river rich and regal
A flood of fond endorphins
Brings a calm that knows no equal
You’re flying now
You see things much more clear than from the ground
It’s all okay, it would be
Were you not now halfway down
Thrash to break from gravity
What now could slow the drop
All I’d give for toes to touch
The safety back at top
But this is it, the deed is done
Silence drowns the sound
Before I leaped I should’ve seen
The view from halfway down
I really should’ve thought about
The view from halfway down
I wish I could’ve known about
The view from halfway down

eternal
03:17
|

A clean escape, A simple spill
Edge of the blade, there’s only time to kill
A simple dream, the end eternal
A steady stream, all my thoughts now external
A silent night, under one thousand and thirty seven stars
A raging fight, between the future and the scars
It seems surreal, yet surprisingly vague
The clarity is real, its time to take the stage
A timely exit, an authentic desire
To finally fix it, and let the guilt retire
All warmth in red, with a crescendo of serenity
One final breath, become one with infinity

wait

Wait, don’t go
This time, I know
The end, is near
I can feel, a sense of fear
Closing in, crashing down
Walls cave, all around
Wait, stay close
I feel im fading, into a ghost
The shadows, linger on
Throughout the night, through the dawn
Closing in, crashing down
Walls cave, all around
Wait, what’s left
In my head, in my chest
The pain, gnaws away
I think ive led, myself astray
Closing in, crashing down
Walls cave, all around
Wait, for the sound
Of the closure, I have found
Its reassuring, its absolute
Theres no point, Ill always lose

hunger
02:52

There are faces hidden in the walls, voices travel ever so slowly down the hall
I can see the demons can you feel them in your eyes, can you hear them whisper? All their frantic lies.
What are they waiting for?
Their hunger intensifies.
I can sense they want more.
For a moment were alive
A scream is held beneath, there’s no light left in the room
Transference holds belief, and guilt seals our own tomb.
I’ve felt the ghosts travel through me every night, never thought twice if there was a way to fight
A thousand of my distant selves keep scratching at the door, I’m afraid they’re getting in, I can’t take any more
What are they waiting for?
Their hunger intensifies.
I can sense they want more.
For a moment were alive

freedom
04:13
|

The only void I have left is a reason for my vices
Made up with my enemies through their own devices
Contemplated the complications they once had provided
Now they have no weight or that’s what I’ve decided
I walk in no mans shoes for they say an inch is a mile
Away from mother earth so from the moon I watch her smile
At the Twainism’s of modern times where realization betrays denial
And for that you will be exiled like a leper without a trial
But we laugh we do, and we mock their every rule
Life’s only opposition may no longer be death
When the liveliness of this world is not at all what we reflect
Spawned from and in turn becoming artificially intelligent
Inadvertently by some intent we’ve lost ability to connect
In this prosthetic and digital world with no evidence we exist
Though your scoreboard may have friends that form an endless list
In a year who will remember so why now should I insist
To concern myself with reason, theory, emotion or a concise?
There are freedoms in being alone
I thought I would explain but then I wouldn’t feel at home

desire
02:28
|

There you stood, flaunting every flaw
I feel better than I should, no longer bound by law
I admit it seems vague, as it first creeps in
The way the shadows arrange, oh god its happening again
Can you hear the whispers?
In the frigid air
Will you give in to the desire?
Or suffer in despair
Here I lie awake, pondering everything I saw
Not sure what to give or take, I think I’d give it all
Just to see, the difference in the shades
What is your reality, where does it take place?

nevermind
02:49

And she screams
Like everything you want in a dream
And she bleeds
Like everything nevermind and I sing
She breathes from side to side
Nevermind…
She breathes from the side of her smile
Nevermind…
You were born out of the break of winter
Slivered your way into my life like a splinter
Raised by the bruise sleeping under the skin
Blood boils in the furnace as the cold sets in
She breathes from side to side
Nevermind…
She breathes from the side of her smile
Nevermind…
The rose frosts over and dies in the moonlight
Behind the shadow of a silhouette in a fight
With the cadence that calls out to my soul
That’s withered away like the callous that denies feeling whole
She breathes from side to side
Nevermind…
She breathes from the side of her smile
Nevermind…

end

The stage was never set for you, left bewildered and confused.
You’re a bomb without a fuse and now you don’t know what’s left to lose
Will you blow or let this continue wish someone could offer up a clue
Anything to help decide what’s true behind the things you intend and things you do
Waiting for nothing, on the edge of yesterday and tomorrow
Intrusive thoughts boil over and you slowly spill into your sorrow
The stage was never set for you, left bewildered and confused.
You’re a bomb without a fuse and now you don’t know what’s left to lose
Will you blow or let this continue wish someone could offer up a clue
Anything to help decide what’s true behind the things you intend and things you do
Watching the sky fall, over a million years time
Anxiety swells and rises and years show through your eyes
The stage was never set for you, left bewildered and confused.
You’re a bomb without a fuse and now you don’t know what’s left to lose
Will you blow or let this continue wish someone could offer up a clue
Anything to help decide what’s true behind the things you intend and things you do
Wanting for the question, to finally fit all the answers
Depression teaches lessons but they can eat away like cancer
