Plucked these strings that you left me
A melody of a ghost on empty
Plucked these strings that you left me
A melody of a ghost on empty
This unfamiliar solitude bounces words you can’t repeat
I have been listening
These strings are deafening - incomplete
This light is blinding me, don’t you see?
I’m melting in your imagery
You’ll never see what you did to me
Lost fragment burdens my heavy air
Old habits and heavy hearts beyond repair
Broken, beyond repair
Broken
You saw the colour blank or not
You felt the warmth that I have forgot
You heard what I could never say
Speak to me through broken strings
You saw the colour blank or not
You felt the warmth that I have forgot
You heard what I could never say
Speak to me
Silence in this crowded room
(It’s deafening, left me attuned)
I’m yelling, but it's too soon
(Your faith left you immune)
Just listen, I’ll do the same
Set fire to an open flame
This unfamiliar solitude bounces words you can’t repeat
I have been listening
This unfamiliar solitude bounces words you can’t repeat
I have been listening
These strings are deafening - incomplete
This light is blinding me, don’t you see?

Feeding Lies

The pain that talks to me,
is louder than before.
All of my good intentions,
Feel easy to ignore
Echos of a time forgotten,
Blows through the wind.
This weeping faith,
Reminisces a not-so distant grin
Have you heard the story in my eyes, feeding lies
How you, made me dull my shine
Why I, let you lose my mind
I thought that I could confide, into your arms but to my demise
It’s all just a mystery; a never-ending history
Do you see what you did to me? I’m better off without you
I’m better off with you
Neverminding symptoms, too blind
For my own insight
Never leaving breadcrumbs, outright,
Oh what an oversight
The city lights would shine so bright.
You shut them off,
Just like I thought you might, feeding lies
Everything that I’ve had
Everything that I’ve done
You stole my sense of self, and never gave it back
I’m nothing but a shell; an artifact
Memories of what was left, will die with me
What I’ve done or who I am now, nobody
Nothing
Echoes of a time forsaken,
Blows through the wind
Now I’m finding a place to sleep
Sinking slowly into the deep
You stole my sense of self, and never gave it back
Now I’m nothing but a shell; an artifact
How you, made me dull my shine
Why I, let you lose my mind
I thought that I could confide, into your arms but to my demise
It’s all just a mystery; a never-ending history
Do you see what you did to me?
I’m better off without you
Echoes of a time forgotten
Blows through the wind
Now I’m finding a place to sleep
Sinking slowly into the deep
The city lights would shine so bright
You shut them off,
Just like I thought you might, feeding lies

Black Lotus
04:59

I am a ghost, but only when you let me
Reminiscing of what I used to be
So long - alone and forgotten
Headstone of a man I have known
Circling a phantom in the shadows
Out of sight and out of mind
But in the darkness I have found
Our complete lack of common ground
Don’t forget me, when I’m gone
Don’t forget me, when I’m gone
I never wanted life to end this way
I can see the pain that tears us apart
Every line of my living counterpart
I’ll never live it down
How could I ever fucking live this down?
How could I ever call this living?
The final black lotus dies and withers away
Only to be lost and dead the same
I never thought that I’d surrender in my own hell
Frozen no longer I bid my last farewell
And in my final moments, you told me this was my apocalypse
I can see the pain that tears us apart
Every line of my living counterpart
Nothing but regrets of what I have done
All this time but right back where I begun
I am a ghost, but only when you let me
Reminiscing of what I used to be
So long - alone and forgotten
Headstone of a man I have known
Circling a phantom in the shadows
Out of sight and out of mind
But in the darkness I have found
Our complete lack of common ground
I am nothing but a ghost

Metastasis

I can still hear the screaming
I can still feel that something’s wrong
After all these years, of what you’ve done - I’m not afraid
Could you blame a dog who kills a threat?
Like your past leaves you a silhouette
A design of failure can’t sustain
The final glimpse of hope dies in vain
Lie to me, then bury me alive
Lie to me then bury me alive
Guaranteed the cycle finds its time
A dream to a fucking nightmare, it’s all I’ve ever known
Pretending that I ever did care, it’s all I’ve ever shown
I can still hear the screaming, I can still feel that something’s missing
Clawing at the walls just to feel safe
Your comfort became an acquired taste
I’m stuck in a nightmare
Seasons changing and so are you
Colder than the winter’s blue
I’m stuck in a nightmare
You gave me nothing but borrowed time
An artificial debt you thought was mine
You turned a moment into forever
Thinking you would drag us down together
Reflecting, disconnecting
Another shadow slipping away
Just a spirit now left to decay
Lie to me then bury me alive
Guaranteed the cycle finds its time
A dream to a fucking nightmare, it’s all I’ve ever known
Pretending that I ever did care, it’s all I’ve ever shown
I can still hear the screaming, I can still feel that something’s missing
Clawing at the walls just to feel safe
Your comfort became an acquired taste

Conscious

Inside his cell he’s broken
Begging to be unchained
But for his cage to open
He must embrace the pain (A life in vain)
Rock bottom is here to last
The first stone again recast
Locked up - stripped down
Barren wasteland
Abandoned, and pushed to the edge
Left to die and there, bled
What I am fell nothing short of this damaged man
Only for, the one to save me - mutilate me
Buried in toxicity with no plan of escape
Falling into black holes, forcing me into this shape
Terrified - fears are conjured
Rotting night - underwater
Abandoned, and pushed to the edge
Left to die and there, bled
Spit me out and say that you’ll save me
I am the one who would succumb
I am desperation, I am rock bottom
I am desperation, I am rock bottom
I am desperation of everything that you know
I was rock bottom, but now i'm sinking through the floor
I am desperation, I am rock bottom
