In The Dark 03:36
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

4 Once 02:58
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

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

Sever 03:56
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 Sever

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! 03:17
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

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

Prowl 03:54
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
