Waste

Too long away from the whetstone,
I'm rusted and blunt,
Out of the habit now it seems I'm
Bearing the brunt,
Sometimes all that keeps me going,
is the jealousy and envy that I feel
The weight
of what I started,
Is smothering me
The weight, of what I started
But loathe, to continue,
Is slowly smothering me
Keeps on hanging over me
Where is the thrill,
where is the urge?
Lost under obligation and guilt
Hanging over me
Self-hating inertia
I've cut off my nose, to spite my face
Sinking into resignation
As I feel like giving up
I feel like giving up
The weight, of what I started
But loathe, to continue,
Is slowly smothering me
Keeps on hanging over me
This weight I started
Loathe to continue

As I watch the waves crash on the shoreline
I can hear the long lost voices of doubt in my mind
They're on my trail again I feel
If I leave my worry behind would it follow me here?
I've travelled so far and yet I'm still overcome with fear.
As the dust settles, old habits die hard
New hinges turn to rust
Creeping up on me, like a spectre
Trains of thought I'd left behind
Creeping up on me, like a spectre,
Trains of thought I'd left behind
If I leave my worry behind would it follow me here?
I've travelled so far and yet I'm still overcome with fear.
Cyclical like wheels, these bouts of ire
Never far from the flame
Licking at my heels, ribbons of fire
Drag me down again

Everlost

Am I doomed to remain
Forever lost
Just a cog in a dying machine
Forever lost
Searching for the fire in me,
It's been doused in the sands of despair
Only ashes and cinders remain,
I've long since grown to the cold of my lair,
Salt embedded in my wounds,
I've given myself to this haze
Of a passive non-existence
This ship will sail forth
Will I be forever lost in the doldrums of the past?
Am I doomed to remain
Forever lost
Just a cog in a dying machine
Forever lost
Will it always feel the same
Forever lost
Somnambulistic daydream
Forever lost
Death is not an option
But living seems so out of my reach
Reluctance looms over me
fencing me off from hope
This sea of despair
beckons me below
Solace is a mirage,
in this desert of despair,
A needle in a haystack,
which I don't want to search.
Nihilistic, idealistic,
I wish I could help myself to care,
Am I doomed to remain
Forever lost?
I am forever lost
I am forever lost
I am forever lost
I am forever lost
Am I doomed to remain
Forever lost
Just a cog in a dying machine
Forever lost
Will it always feel the same
Forever lost
Somnambulistic daydream
Forever lost

Burn Scars

You're ripping the branches off my heart
Leaves me nothing left within
Bleeding, you've torn my soul apart
Yet you know naught of your sin
And I send a message to myself
Not to get caught up in the haze
But I cannot stop what's already begun
The poison is flowing, it's flowing, it's (yeah)
Trying to fight and not forgive
It's easier just to let it fly
I'm questioning my own will to live
the fire inside me slowly dies
I tried to toxify my veins
To embitter naïve growth
Still sometimes the cuticle is pierced
And the weakness under shows
And I send a message to myself
Not to get caught up in the haze
But I cannot stop what's already begun
The poison is flowing, it's flowing, it's (yeah)
Trying to fight and not forgive
It's easier just to let it fly
I'm questioning my own will to live
the fire inside me slowly dies
The tree remembers what the axe forgets
I don't know how you can live with yourself
The scars from my burns will never heal
To you they might as well not be real
Tua verba incaute
Secare profunda
Frequentante diebus
Et somnus meus

Dead End Dreams
07:00
|

I can see that you are trying your hardest to pull us through
Every part of this comes from the heart I know this much is true
Please believe me I'll do all I can to make this dream come true
Lock you in the tower if that is what it takes, then we'll make do
Is this just another dead end dream?
Gathering dust, efforts unseen?
I'll leave it behind to feed the machine
And begrudge every moment not spent on it
Feel it pull at you
Know you need it too
So you're feeling blue
Know what you must do
But lately I've found the midnight oil
Is running lower than usual
Feel it pull at you
Know you need it too
So you're feeling blue
Know what you must do
But lately I've found the midnight lamp
Is burning dimmer night by night
We're going nowhere, slowly again
We're going nowhere, slowly again
Every time I feel we're getting closer, I'm mistaken
We're going nowhere, slowly again
Is this just another dead end dream?
Gathering dust, efforts unseen?
I'll leave it behind to feed the machine
And begrudge every moment not spent on it
Please take me away from here
Where all of my fears are on display
Conceal them within a melody
Transform all my tears into joy

I know they think but they won't say
I'm dreaming my life away
I just couldn't care less though
I've got higher places to go
And I could try to explain
But they wouldn't understand me, anyway
I see you opening doors
And making the first move, again and again and again
As I'm burning my bridges
And tuning in
And drowning you out
Take me back to the place I know
I don't care if it's real or not
I'm safe inside this world I've made
Where I retire at the end of the day
On my own
A day all to myself
On my own
A day all to myself
I see you opening doors
And making the first move, again and again and again
As I'm burning my bridges
And tuning in
And drowning you out
Take me back to the place I know
I don't care if it's real or not
I'm safe inside this world I've made
Where I retire at the end of the day
Leave me be
And let me dream
I can't believe
What I have not seen,
So leave me be
I'm wasting my life away in a world of fantasy
It's never felt so good
To let it all just fade away
Take me back to the place I know,
I don't care if it's real or not
