In The Dark

Sitting here in the dark what I felt once there’s no spark
The light I see in the distance is so far from me so far
I was left behind forgotten meant to fade into the shadows
I defied that fate just to feel so empty far from the hallows
My identity swept up and tied to these emotions
That I don’t know how to process never felt them never chosen
After all I’m still this kid that keeps falling through the oceans
My lungs they fill with water as my heart is crushed and frozen
Wait I still wait
Wait for me to change
Look into the mirror
That’s broken and so frayed
I’m standing on the edge
Of pure sanity
Just looking out beyond
The truth in vanity
Was brought into this world
Not on my accord
So why am I punished
And left inside the cold
I had the time process
But I’m just lost way more
A child so shattered
The fragments cut my core
And I bleed and I bleed and I wander anxiously
Through the shadows of these thoughts that I formed honestly
And they want to take me out of the mix oh whoa is me
And I bleed and I bleed and I wander anxiously
And the blood pools on the floor of a mind that’s been forgotten
I neglected memories that will make my soul turn rotten
And I wonder if that decision let the demons stay with me
And I bleed and I bleed and I wander anxiously
Through the coldness through the shadows that would lead most to shiver
I’m immune to it I guess haven’t noticed I’m a sinner
I’ve been hurting everyone that I love because the past in me
And I bleed and I bleed and I wander anxiously
Oh who am I who am I not the person that I thought
I’m ashamed cuz of the fact I’ve been weak so what’s the cost
Will I lose everything including touch how can this be
That I’m bleeding bleeding out anxiously
Sitting here in the dark what I felt once there’s no spark
The light I see in the distance is so far for me so far
I was left behind forgotten meant to fade into the shadows
I defied that fate just to feel so empty far from the hallows
My identity swept up and tied to these emotions
That I don’t know how to process never felt them never chosen
After all I’m still this kid that keeps falling through the oceans
My lungs they fill with water as my heart is crushed and frozen

Cut The Sky
05:14
|

Cut my soul cut my soul
Been bleeding most my days
The clouds that show the clouds that show
Will no doubt lead to rain
I know I’m hurt I know I’m hurt
I think I’m under siege
The feelings felt the feelings past
Are not the ones I need
All this time left inside the cold I do not know
Where the sky it ends and where the shadows surely go
When the light it leaves I wonder if it’s in my soul
Or fleeting like the moments in our lives go to and fro
Anticipate anticipate I’ve been so crucified
Giving this giving that and I’m so vilified
Cut the world cut the world
And let the rivers bleed
They manifest they manifest
The tears that always stream
All this time left inside the cold the darkness falls
Infinite just falling with no price no there’s no cost
The misery is free and I can share it all with the world
If misery loves company then why am I so cursed
To be all alone all alone
So pathetic
In my mind in my mind
The anguish is aesthetic
I just don’t get just don’t get it
Keep it copasetic
My eyes reflect the pain I never show
I’m so hectic
All this time inside the cold turns out I’m in the fire
Burning up turning to ashes there’s no rebirth just disaster
In my eyes reflects the torment that I’ve been hiding over years
But I’m just fooling myself drowning in a pool of tears
Cut the sky cut the sky cut the sky
Cut my soul cut my soul cut my soul
Cut the world cut the world
And let the rivers bleed
They manifest they manifest
The tears that always stream
Can’t put this into the words the pain is all relative
Imagined no imagined yes don’t tell how I shouldn’t feel
If I feel it best believe it taking me down Its all surreal
Fire and ice they coexist inside the chaos and it kills
I wanna fly I always do but its so hard when feeling doomed
Got to escape the despair but it follows me entombed
Inside my thoughts inside the very fabric of my being
Seeing all of this would lead most to hit the ceiling
With madness but somehow I stayed calm all these years
It’s a curse not a gift It’s a curse I swear it is!
Cut the sky
Cut the Sky
Cut the Sky
Cut the Sky
I’m hurting and it’s mostly cuz of me I hurt myself
Self-inflicted all these wounds I’m lacerated in this hell
Like the sky that’s lacerated by the streaks the blades of light
I am cut up and not resistant to your words the blades of life
I got to escape and leave the past where it belongs inside the trash
Memories they serve as shackles and regret is why I clash
With the titan of calamity most cannot see the picture
That I’m painting but you feel it though your eyes just see conjecture
I am far from complete I keep searching all these years
It’s a curse not a gift It’s a curse I swear it is!
Cut the Sky
Cut the Sky
Cut the Sky
Cut the Sky

Harvest Moon
03:15
|
|||
On this cold autumn night I’m looking out window
Watching the rain fall out the sky and it seems so simple
My eye catches a reflection I do not recognize
Is it me or someone else I think it’s full of lies
I transformed all these years I let myself fall low
And on this night it resonates what with the searing cold
It’s a fact I let the past dictate the things I know
I need to break away and see where it goes
Harvest moon light up the night let me change
You wanna see my ghostly form well its so strange
I like to think I am so good but if I’m bad
Does it mean my life’s a lie and is that sad
I’m nothing but a shell of what I used to be I know
But I’m working through the problems like a truck that plows the snow
Never cold never again it’s like the wolf inside just knows
Good resides in me about that time I let it show
Let it show let it reveal let them see
I’m broken up but the fragments of my soul still dream
The nightmares that I have are never what they seem
A product of the things you said I know you mean
I’m not perfect manipulate that fact but is it worth it
I’m tryna find the answers in the darkness where I’m lurking
I hate the person in the mirror but I’m changing
I need to break away to begin rearranging
Harvest moon light up the night let me change
You wanna see my ghostly form well it’s so strange
All they ever do is judge me at the same time overlook
The wolf inside of me is ready to be the hook
That you’re hanging from just watching me I have nothing to prove
Oh yea I know I’m flawed but so are all of you
And if you can’t see it it’s not my burden for the proof
I turn away light the way Harvest moon

I am not
What you think once before
You are not
So much better yes I know
Eventually
Your true colors start to show
Eventually
Red and black grey like the void
I cannot
See the sky through the trees
You are not
Helpful not helping me
Eventually
My wounds will heal close over
Eventually
In time I can show ya
Oh for once you wanna simplify
Oh for once you wanna sympathize
Keep it all that's what I'm yelling out
And don't look back I'm never selling out
Now it is the time the time to break away
Now it is the time the time that's what they say
Looking at your clock the clock I call the moon
Now is the time the time is coming soon
Oh for once you wanna tell the truth
Oh for once you wanna think it through
I I laugh because it's far too late
Take it back while I close the gate
I am not
What you told them I was
You are not
What you said you were
Eventually
It'll come out in these words
Eventually
It's bad now it could be worse
I am not
A slave to negativity
You are not
Holding power or controlling me
Eventually
The world will listen to my words of course
Eventually
They'll see my heart is the source

The First Snow
03:03
|
|||
Walking down the street in an all black attire
Acting as if someone has died someone did it's me on fire
The first snow falls from the sky as I peer from star lit eyes
Mumbling words to myself uttering things it's best to hide
It's andromeda emanating from the darkest things inside
It's a constellation society will never envision right
He's a freak he makes no sense so on the edges I will stay
Where space and time is tearing and my words never decay
When
the
First flake hits the ground it melts right away yea instantly
Doesn't have time to take shape just like my thoughts formed endlessly
You don't understand any words I speak and I need you to hear
Because I'm walking crying for help
And it's the loneliness I fear
See this world is spinning fast that there's no time to see it change
Watch the roses bloom and wilt but there's no time to be so strange
He's so dark he's so cryptic will he ever speak his mind
Well I'm trying yea I'm trying but I'm running out of time
It's that old tune
I hear the symphony
I don't need you to
Feel anything for me
This world is dying
So pay no mind to me
If I keep trying
I can spark your destiny
So travel travel along this road I keep walking
No light escapes me in the shadows is my calling
The winter breaks me still this kid that's left behind
You can't erase what's never there inside your mind
Burn it up burn it up burn up everything
Cast it all haphazardly inside the growing flame
Because honestly I'm warming up and escaping from the cold
Depression meet revenge resolution hopefully will follow
Forgiveness is my power so look forward
never look back
When I'm ready
I'll forgive but right now
don't dare to ask

Everyday everyday
I wake up
I go to sleep
I dare to dream
About the happy life stretched out before me
I cannot see
Everyday everyday
Everyday everyday
I wake up
I go to sleep
I'm longing just to breathe
I'm suffocating on my lost identity
I cannot leave
Everyday everyday
So as of late I can say
I don't care anymore
As of late I can say
A lot but does it hold
Who am I fooling tell me what is happiness
Is it a blanket meant to cover up the lie of innocents
I'm just going through the motions of this life yes in a sense
Till I can reach the place I belong my heart not past tense
Everyday feels the same as of late I can't escape
As of late can't escape so I'll just wait
Everyday everyday
I wake up
I go to sleep
Nightmares are the key
Suffering I'm not the victim but it seems
I just bleed
Everyday everyday
Everyday everyday
I wake up
I go to sleep
Just staring at the scene
Of stars exploding like the truth found deep in me
It's what you need
Everyday everyday
So as of late I can say
I'm free to fight the pain
As of late I can say
I'm winning but that can change
In a heart beat in a second blink of an it's not a weapon
Uncertainty that's in my mind I'll use at my discretion
Till I make sense of all these feelings felt call it emotion
Been numb so long forgot how it feels to be in motion
Everyday is the same as of late I just know
As of late I see the light let it show
Everyday everyday
I wake up
I go to sleep
Wake again please
I will stop complaining when you stop being so selfish
So shallow and give a fuck about the world you live in anguish
If you wanna tell me to smile tell yourself to open up
And stop judging blaming the victim help them heal to cope is tough
It's okay to feel sadness I don't need to apologise
But you take a step back see the truth and reject lies
Everyday everyday everyday is getting better
Everyday reconnect don't

Static
03:42
|

Everything is falling everything is falling
Crawling no sympathy it's like my heart is stalling
The earth is moving shifting you can't tell me what I'm missing
If I open up my eyes I cannot see the sky I'm slipping
Slipping slipping slipping sliding tell me just what you confide in
When you realize your perception is a mockery of timing
It's a lie it's a lie nothing's static when you die
Cut the lights and there's a hush on the earth it's hard to hide
The earth is quaking shaking don't tell me that I'm faking
If you could feel at all you would realize what you're saying
But you're oh so blind oh so blind and simply it's a waste of time
The Richter scale is off the charts I tell you there's no piece of mind
So wake up feel the ground with your feet hey there's no sound
Just vibrations with a rhythm sending chills up your spine and down
Static static static i keep moving
Everything is crawling everything is crawling
Through all the trenches World war one is what I'm calling
Conjuring emotions that have long since been forgotten
This is what you wanted oh you know it's what you wanted
Egg shells on the ground tread lightly supersonic
Shifting switching your position like a plate that's Teutonic
Volcanic are your thoughts set to erupt despondent
Look up to the sky read the clouds like it's a sonnet
The earth is shaking quaking don't tell me what I'm thinking
You'd be wrong oh so wrong to understand is what you're faking
I'm in motion violently and there's no time for stopping
If I do I get left behind and that's not really what I wanted
Locomotion commotion calamity at best
Can describe these 30 years sum it nicely for the test
Not multiple choice essay format so good luck take a guess
Shaking breaking I continue on my quest

Listen Up!

We live in the age of follow me need likes I got no clout
Play to executives forget the fans you're all about
Poetic words a literate verse
Repetitive lyrics there's nothing worse
Over and over recycled flow stay in the shallows
Choosing to be deep is like walking to the gallows
Cut off my head and disable my message
Get laughed at for being different that should give you some perspective
How many views you have pay to promote not monetized
No one listens to your music no matter how you try
Unless you fit the mold fit the mold unimpressive
Originality is spit on by the masses so aggressive
Hey listen up
We don't wanna hear your shit
Unless you promote ideas
That are shallow vague and lit
Money drugs cars a life that you don't live
Fakeness rules the day I'm sorry that's just how it is
Hey listen up
I hate you I don't care
Everything is trash unless it fits what I like ya
No room to be different negative comments and dislikes
Sound like the rest more subscribers more likes
Forget progression all we wanna do is dance
Thinkings overrated 5 minute song well there's no chance
To hold attention like it's something that you need
Short attention span this day and age I will grieve
Old and new constantly fighting over who's the best
No wonder we are stuck in a rut it's hard to find success
No one's right no one's wrong agree to disagree
Hip hop will advance only if you all see
Hey listen up
We don't wanna hear your shit
Unless you promote ideas
That are shallow vague and lit
Money drugs cars a life that you don't live
Fakeness rules the day I'm sorry that's just how it is
Hey listen up
I hate you I don't care
Everything is trash unless it fits what I like ya
No room to be different negative comments and dislikes
Sound like the rest more subscribers more likes

Return Of The Capricorn
02:32
|

It's the return of the Capricorn
From stars above
Mars the planet is my dwelling space
Burn you up
Everything you said has turned to ashes then to dust
Wanting me to surrender no I'll never be enough
It's the return of the Capricorn
Rise from ancient catacombs
So leave your hatred back at home
Your words can't break what's made of stone
Wasn't built in a day call me Rome
Complexity down to my bones
See the light inside
has always shone
It's a matter of how you look at it the light I'm striving for
Took detours all along the way to level up for sure
No one's figured me out so don't pretend to know what's in the core
Of a kid crashing the party of this life but is there more
Hate to breathe hate to ask
But I'm crafting my own message
You don't need you don't want
Well that's okay stay out my session
Because I found some acceptance
And I didn't need your blessing
And that train it never came
So I grew into a lesson
It's the return of the Capricorn
Never left but still I burn
A long way from the emptiness of space it's my turn
To feel like I'm worth it and it's none of your concern
I'm the one yes I'm the one I know it's hard to discern
It's the return of the Capricorn
Rise from ancient catacombs
So leave your hatred back at home
Your words can't break what's made of stone
Wasn't built in a day call me Rome
Complexity down to my bones
See the light inside
has always shone

Hunting in the shadows there's no light it's pure darkness
The kind of darkness that permeates
In your soul your moving cautious
I'm stalking every breath you take is guiding me to you
Inhale I'm inching closer exhale what can you do
The moon it lights the way and I can taste you in the air
I sense you're feeling tension at this point I do not care
I'm creeping creeping ever closer no despair
Quickly shut off the lights I'll make it quick it's only fair
I'm running I'm running
Exhausted there's no sleep
When the predator hunts you down
There's no fun you play for keeps
When you're listening for the sound
Branches breaking falling leaves
It doesn't take much for the mind to
To start playing tricks on me
Hey for me hey it's weak to show any type of stress
Weakness will get you killed that's the truth for more or less
In the darkness where I hide probably stuck next to you
No one knows anymore what's the truth
Hunting with fangs and claws stretched out
Closer closing in with every step I'm on the prowl
Searching seeking to destroy whatever's found
If you're in my path then that is you breaking down
Eternal struggle the predator the prey
On a Battleground inside a, mind that's in decay
Inching closer in the cold see my breath crystallize
The wolf is searching for the light as the reason within dies
I'm running I'm running
Tryna extract out hope
In the grim circumstances
Of the inevitable
And it's the waiting that kills me
Oh and uncertainty
If the end will be quick
Or drawn out like blood I need
Relief from the enemy on the prowl
Within me
Complicated but what isn't in this world I believe
Turn around stand my ground stop running I'm so tired
Believe I'm destined for a purpose that's higher
I'm chasing I'm chasing
And when world's collide
It's explosive when a heart
Won't die
The predator becomes the prey in this life
And who am I to say
If it's wrong or right
I just prowl
