Radiate 03:28
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

Daydreamer 04:11
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

Stargazer 04:07
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?
