AFTER THE STORM
Silence surrounds me as I walk through this maze in my head. I've come to realize I'm never getting out of here alive. Bringing life to this wasted place has never seem so far fetched as it is tonight, its not a gift of life as it is a sentence to a slow and punishing death. One failure after another have shown me that everything falls to its own weight and after this storm is through the sun will shine again as well. So wear your scars proudly for they tell your tale, memories of words unspoken when no one else could save you but yourself. This is your only chance and when darkness comes and this all ends the only thing they'll ever remember is what you did, not what you said.
CLARITY
Countless trials result in countless errors, time that passes by but leaves its mark. Paper rules the world as ironic as that seems, wasted lives trying to achieve a status of beauty that hides them underneath. Its safer to silence your thoughts than to expose them to a world that does nothing but frown upon. Twenty something years of life looking for the key to so-called happiness just to find my self standing at the place where I began. I may not have the answers and I may not change the world but if I'm sure about one thing is you have to stay true to yourself. Sincerity is your weapon against this rotting herd of sheep that will always follow but will never lead.
REALITY CHECK
I need to get my thoughts straight, I'm living a life led by fiction. The thin line between dreams has been slowly blurring out. I might be losing my sense of direction to a compass pointing south. Loneliness grows as the rays of light dim and welcome the endless night just to wake up and do it all over again. This vicious cycle is taking it's toll on me. As I seek for direction, I see the path that you chose as I slowly walk away. I take a look at your life, and I realize I never wanna be like you...BE LIKE YOU. I've been here many times before. The lights point to the exit but I can't let this go. Try to forget the memories and worries that molded my life. Im a result of questioning where we stand (and what we want). Please take this from me now cause I won't let it slip away...SLIP AWAY. Even if this ends up killing me I have no where else to go.
AGAINST ALL ODDS
Its easier to follow than to lead, but what if your life depended on it? Everything you know is about to change, wouldn't it be nice to know you did your best? We've waited enough time to make a change, let the earth dry down and take the pain. Destruction has had its way, I will not sit around and mourn the loss. Against all odds we will prevail, or lose it all. If you're not part of the solution then problem is your name, there's mayhem all around you and you're the one to blame. Against all odds, we will prevail, or lose it all.
SINCERITY
This boat is slowly sinking and I won't get in his way. I've played the role of the savior before and I drowned. I see hundreds of faces but they don't mean a thing to me. Its a sight I've seen many nights before but somehow its never enough. I have no idea why I'm here, no idea why I'm scared, I look for answers desperately before its too late. As I stare at the horizon, one last scream escapes from me: why couldn't you just be sincere? SINCERITY. So I'll settle with being a part of this mess and wish for the best. I'll stare death in the eye and take it as it comes. One less bad seed for this world to mourn. I'll never look back, don't even pretend you ever cared.
REGATHER, REGROW, SURVIVE
(feat. Jon McRae - Grave Maker)
I look around and nothings really changed, different opinions but we're all here in the end. We share a common bond for shows and sing-a-longs, we've grown so much but have a longer path to walk. Like a pack of stray dogs, we search for a place to call our home. Without a sense of direction or time all we have is our will to survive, so bring your weapons, does we'll never understand fear is no longer an issue, I've lost all but my pride. But we will regather, and we will regrow, and we will survive, yes we will survive.
SENSELESS
(feat. Marcos Monnerat - The Movement in Codes)
You know those nights were nothing really works and nothing makes any sense? Where a second turns into a minute and an hour's like a lifetime of pain. Endless thoughts take over your brain and fill it with hate. How could humanity be so senseless and why do you even care? I guess the fault falls on your shoulders from not learning from mistakes, they've fooled us once before, it all stays the same. I'll never give up, I'll never change! I guess the fault falls on your shoulders from not learning from mistakes, they've fooled you once before, nothing ever changes, it all stays the same.
GIVE ME LIFE
(feat. Guido Fernández)
Give me life or let me rest, cause this fear in my head keeps me from sleep. This test we call life is based on appreciating, every single decision we make will affect our outcome in the end. So take it all away from me and show what it is to loose it all. Show me desperation and show me fear, show me agony and pain, this is not the place for me, I wont make the same mistake again. I wont make the same mistake again, its not a fresh start but a lesson learned. So give me life or let me rest, there's no middle ground for me
THE END
I woke up today to some clarity in my head, understanding that the beauty of life lies in the uncertainty of everything except death. Today I shed my past, I am but a bird of prey feeding off of society's remains, sick to my stomach. I'm a loner in a world that insecurely strives for affection thanks to the lack of self esteem. Boundaries are set from an early stage telling us what we can and cannot do, telling us what we should or should'nt say. Feeding us lies to get us through the day. Well fuck you, I've had enough! Find you're own way to the truth! THIS IS THE END.
