The breaking of the voices
In my head i'm following
The shadows of what used to be
But getting lost
I need to carve to create
A new way for progression
Taking hold of me
Taking back my mind from
The spiral of black hearted thoughts
to bring betrayal of the past
the last remains unspoked here
BUT I WILL CREATE
*chorus
Regretting all of the lost time
The energy I spent on hate
The all consuming fire
I've found a way now to escape
The nullifying excuses
Ringing hollow always now
I know much better than to change
My perception of
The responsibilities
of the effort to be made
Stop bringing yourself down to waste
You are better than
The LIES you keep telling yourself
cannot live 'till ego death
turn the pages turn the tide
GET READY TO UNLEASH YOUR LIFE
pick yourself up go now it's not far
Don't take your life to broken stars
The same relentless wasted days
Take time to live before the grave

The Storm

Its simple
The concept
Look inward
And see yourself
Reactions
Who am I?
I wonder
Could I become
REJECT MY
REALITY
TO CREATE
A BETTER
*chorus
Relentless we go on
Bringing all our lives into the storm
Reactions feeding into chaos
alive
a fortress
Inside the storm
A way out
Could I escape?
the outside
I found you
Identify
A purpose
SO IT LIES
AN ANSWER
THE CALL
OF FREEDOM

A Higher Wall

release me from this caustic nightmare i've wandered for so long
a failing memory
of times when you mistreated me, are we really here?
i can't see i don't know
where do i go from here what can i say? what can i? i'll say....I'LL SAY IM DONE, THROW IN THE TOWEL NOW, I'M FADING HOW I WANT
AND NEED TO
WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME? I CANNOT CARE ANYMORE
relate to the darkness and loss without really being there anymore
i feel i'm better now my mind is stronger now
or maybe it's just a higher wall?
i swear it's ten feet strung with barbed wire
you won't be getting in again
i am fully out of patience done pretending/tell me that i'm lying story's ending/feeding me your hatred now i'm seeing/that you only see yourself you're mistreating everyone around you/not deceiving me anymore i've got your game now/i will not continue playing you will see
i am getting much better at silence and letters/destroying a friendship and burying embers/to the day you won't say he was better than me/'cause everything's peachy you're living the dream/without a conscience you're not self aware/kicking and screaming because i'm not there/you need attention because you are bare/i'm unavailable
and you're lost
you're alone
goodBYE

Mind State

not over, your mind plays to win, not fairly
becoming clear, this life to defend, don't run away
SKY ENDING GRAVE, WHAT'S LEFT TO SAVE?
SHOW ME THE DARK, DON'T TURN, AWAY FROM ME
running faster now but i don't know
where i'm going or where you are
can you help me save you?
i cannot see anything left of me
once it's all said and done
walking towards the endless
oh i will
in shadows, i wait all alone
taking down my time
becoming cold, the ignorance grows
pushing me away
MORTALITY, THE END OF THE SEAS
I KNOW YOU'RE FAR FROM ME AND YOU FOR NOW
and here i stand, a failure to man
bowing out again
IT'S BURNING BRIGHT, THE CLOUDS WITHIN SIGHT
BARRING THE SUN, THE SKY, OUR HOPE, OUR FEARS
