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
lyrics
buy track
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 02:30

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
lyrics

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
lyrics
buy track
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
lyrics
buy track
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
lyrics
buy track
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 02:26
lyrics

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
