Gaze inward upon your soul
Eyes shut to the world around you
Do you like what you see?
Inner demons wielding the mirror stained in your image
And you can’t wipe it clean
The blood is permanent
Vacant caves occupy my chest
I’m climbing my way out
Through the mess of man-made mire
I’ll rectify myself
There’s so much symmetry, inside and out of me
Allure and artistry
Eyes open to the world inside me, my own reality
A canvas of constellations and creativity
Blessing or a curse?
Blessing and a curse, no going back
Realization of opportunity lost, toxifies my mind
But I pray that it’s a blessing in disguise
Radiate like the brightest star, I avert my eyes
Reach your greatest potential, never regret a thing
Unless we’re cursed
Cursed with the scorn of centuries
There’s so much time to prove humanity
Is more than just an entity
Perpetual self-calamity
Does not have to rule your reality
Reclaim yourself with empathy
And cycle through eternity

Walking along a crystal lake
Tip toe around the wake
To see what is across the way
Will take your breath away
It’s a fine line
To find your balance here
Shattering glass, or praying to disappear
Fall to the left, lose your last step
Fall to the right, predict your last breath
Dive
Dive into the waters of divine relief
Wishing upon the well
Who’s to say that wish carries any weight?
I’ll continue to yell
Knowing it’s thrown right back in my face
Walking along a crystal lake
Tip toe around the wake
To know what is across the way
Will only cause dismay
Every step I take
Leads to another mistake
An opportunity to change my ways
I don’t want to be forgotten
Left to drown in my own wake
Leave me to drown in my own wake
It’s a fine line
To find your balance here
Shattering glass, or praying to disappear
Fall to the left, lose your last step
Fall to the right, predict your last breath
Every step I take
Leads to another mistake
An opportunity to change my ways
I must drown in my own wake

Lost
And never wanting to be found
Here I’ll lay my head on the ground
Blissful peace underneath the sun
Whispering winds relieves the damage done
I am one
Yet connected to it all
Statically, I found myself refusing to believe
Tap the spile deep within me
Siphon all my energy
Release your sorrowful song
Unto the brittle leaves of fall
Give me your pain in vain
I crave your grief
Give me your pain
Grasping for relief
Rest aside, it takes time
The detrimental moments pass you by
Leaving value of significant kind
Constant pressure, frequency pleasure
Noise repeating and my ears are bleeding
Noise repeating my ears are bleeding
Take the time
Dive into the waters of divine relief
Flow internal towards the core of your being
Statically, I found myself refusing to believe
Tap the spile deep within me
Sapped, siphon all my energy
I’m refusing to believe
There’s a world that wants the best for me
Release your sorrowful song
Unto the brittle leaves of fall
Give me your pain in vain
I crave your grief
Stop grasping for relief
Flow internal
Flow eternal

Rot away
Bloom, decay
Cast me out to die
On the mountains, high above the sky
Where my soul retracts and refracts
All that’s left is my minds eye
Regressing towards inner peace
Regressing towards inner peace
The face of cessation is beckoning
Snowy white tops amidst the evergreens
A pocket of reprieve, beyond the windy lean
I’ll mark my way
Push through the night coalescing
With all that is one
I’ll mark my way, you’ll see the fray
Gusts will chill through skin to bone
The further up you go, the stronger it will blow
It’s a current I mustn't fear
Leading me to what I hold dear
In my head, and in my heart
Was once the same, until I tore it apart
Tear me apart
As I climb the final stretch I’ll stop to catch my breath
Piece together what I have left
I refuse to come back to you
Until the days I suffered through
Stick to what I hold true
Rot away
Bloom, decay

Reclamation
05:23
|

Conflicting convictions
Slowly wear me down
Hollow out my crown
Can this really be all of me?
A shell with no anatomy
A vessel of struggle and hurt
Damned to carry the pain of our ancestors
I believe in what I see
Not in what I hear
All of what I feel
What is even real?
Am I even real?
I want to believe there’s something more to me
Something more to this life than agony and suffering
Connected to everything around me
Encoded patterns consuming eternity
I believe in what I see
Not in what I hear
All of what I feel
Am I even real?
Extreme to extreme
Find the balance in between
Natures way of reclaiming the souls that lost their way
Now I see what I believe
Become what I feel
All of what I hear
Proves to me I am real
From skin, to flesh, to bone
And the beauty of the unknown
I reclaim my soul
Through light and love and all that is whole

Release
04:02
|

With time withdrawn we become but a single point in space
No direction, no reason in a lifeless place
How would your life look?
How would your life look if you weren’t racing against time?
If our lives were captured in one finite moment
And put on display in a cosmic array
Could we learn to revere the outcome, or sulk in its decay?
No memories of past lives
No dreams of the future
Just a still-framed life adhered by a quantum suture
From life we release
Perceive the boundaries of your life
Question what lies within
Herein lies potential strife and triumph akin
Create and lie awake
Life’s lessons compose the palette for the masterpiece of life
Your decisions your brushstrokes into virtue or vice
Not all of us are artists, mistakes will be made
We must learn to make the darkness
A force of creation
A vessel for change
For once we add the finishing touch and sign our masterpiece
No revisions to be made
No revisions can be made
From life we release

Flow
03:58

Escape the energy that runs rampant through your bones
A self fueled hatred for the only thing you know
So go ahead and try to fight the flow
The complacent current will drag you below
Why fight the fire that lights your very soul?
A fleeting inspiration
A piece that makes you whole
Life’s limitations reduce us to our choices
Misguided decisions and muffled voices
And in the midst of losing time
We also tend to lose our minds
We aren’t meant to live in secluded silence
The lone wolf dies before the pack
Though depending on reliance
Will stab you right in the back
The river, ever-flowing
Embrace the current and you’ll find favor in the flow
Just know that time is relative
A constant reminder of the unknown
Flowing inward, release the energy within
Projecting outward onto an unforgiving world
And once I surrendered to the flow of time
I learned the mind I lost was never mine
Life’s limitations reduce us to our choices
Informed decisions and resounding voices
And in the midst of losing time
We also tend to lose our minds
We aren’t meant to live in secluded silence
The lone wolf dies before the pack
Though depending on reliance
Will stab you right in the back
Flowing inward, release the energy within
Projecting outward onto an unforgiving world
And once I surrendered to the flow of time
I learned the mind I lost was never mine

Convulsions carry me through the night
No tears left, eroding on the inside
Comfort me not
I’ve been preparing for the storm
Close the door on your way
Leave me in silence, to crawl my way out once more
My chest is caving in again
Don’t release your boot from my neck
I want to feel
I want to feel numb to the touch
Oh, it brings me back
It brings me back to what I once was
Alone to fight my own pitiful cause
Shrieks of agony, concealing atrophy
Shrieks of agony
Conceding atrophy
I tend to lie, to keep you alive
Or so I tell myself
No one cares to know
No one wants to be alone
Spiraling towards the void below
Fuck
Shrieks of agony
Conceding atrophy
I tend to lie, to keep you alive
I tend to lie, to keep myself alive
My chest is caving in again
Don’t release your boot from my neck
I want to feel
I want to feel numb to the touch
Left to stand the test of time
Foolish to leave behind
A glimpse of my own life
Just to fulfill yours
Look up and see, our true destiny
And yet, I find peace in the moment
Knowing we are still alive
I find peace in the moment

My whole life flashing right before my very eyes
Nothing to lose, nothing to gain, just happy to be alive
Mother moon, draw out the loons
Swoon us into lunacy, a trial to break free
Guide me, to the very place
I can rest my head and be at peace
Under your light, a loving embrace
There is no escape, what is there to chase?
Saturn’s rings, pull my strings
Lift me up, set me free
Return me to my rightful home
The morning sun, a ray of hope
Gazing out into the night
The stars mapping out space and time
I reach out to feel the void
Ambiguity leaves me craving more
I’ve felt the warmth
The connection to the source
Let’s journey to heaven, and return to earth
Leave a trail behind, of celestial dirt
Soil to plant the seeds of cosmic life
A chance to reclaim what is rightfully mine
My mind
I’ll lose my mind, just to find it again
And again begins the journey within
To shed your skin, for it to grow back again
And again you’ll lose your mind in the end
Unity flow through me
Nothing more than a cycle of opportunity
A chance to be one with infinity
True balance between polarities
I’ve chosen this destiny
In another life, would I choose the same fate?
