Paralyzed
02:58

I hope to find myself, and forgot all about what has weighed me down.
For so long, I felt so paralyzed
No movement,
No matter how hard I fight
I'm still awake inside
Worried now, but I'm still alive
I get no peace of mind
Another struggle with no end in sight
this has become my life.
I've done so much wrong losing sight on what I thought was right.
A means to an end
A distraction to fill the gap
But what if our efforts collapse into this self induced suffering
All I am is a frequent guest inside my own hell
I still can't seem to let go.
of this pain that resides inside my head
To exist is to endure a life of pain
I just want to find a place where I don't have to feel this way
Get me out of here
Release me
I know I'll find myself
And remember
each foot print I've made
With the steps that helped me change
Our suffering will remain a chapter of our past
we won't forget we made it out alive
Paralyzed

Detriment

Contridicted by every word you speak. try so hard to bury your convictions. Detriment!
I cant believe a single word you say
how could you leave me out to dry? To show you're face now would be a big mistake
I hope these words start to resonate
As I scream in your face
crawling on your hands and knees
with the feeling there's blood on your hands
I don't think you understand
This is all on you
I just want to forget every single moment. the hell that you put me through.
I know your ego, lacks the strength to fulfill yourself
Knowing this makes me feel I've made some mistakes
In my past I can't escape what's been said
But, what you did was far worse
I'll never forgive you for this
Taking my kindness for granted
Making me feel so damned worthless
So tell me does it make you feel
Fucking perfect
I just want to forget every single moment
the hell that you put me through

Equilibrium

I am the fallen one
Treading through these waters of depravity
For what it seems to be
An eternity
Condemned forced into a life of servitude
I can't keep playing the victim
No absolution
No purpose
I am so tired of feeling worthless
The pain relief is temporary
The numbing only lasts
Until the bottle's empty
I am drowning myself
My anxious thoughts
Get the best of me
Fuck
Relapse where do I go from here
Relapse then repeat the cycle
A never ending void
I will forever continue to struggle
So drift away until you find you're escape
I know its hard but, don't let go
So drift away until you find you're escape
It won't be long before you sink
To the bottom again
Pull me to the surface
Please
Pull me to the surface
Solace surrounds me in the form of a hand reaching out
Returned by the warm embrace
Of the ones that I love
Pain is powerful
But, you have the strength to make it
My breath is weak
But, I wont just let you take it
So I'll climb out
No matter the cost
I will breach my way to the surface
No longer weighed down by substance
I will breach my way to the surface

I still grip tight to the note you left me here on that cold dark night
I'll never forget how I watched you fight for your life, as I died inside
when you told me everything will be alright
was that a lie?
I know you saw tears in my eyes
But the truth is you showed me the light
And I guess we'll meet again someday
In the afterlife

Summit

Can you feel the earth moving
These seasons colliding.
The past is catching up,
this is where you've been stuck
We make the same turns; we'll never learn.
Times growing short; its growing dead at its core
Beauty crumbles as we continue the struggle
Right before our eyes we watch as it all dies.
Everyday the life in the air disappears
Can you feel
Lifes end is near
You cant call it a home. you cant call it a home)
if theres nothing left
Theres nothing left; theres nothing left but dirt and stone.
how can we exist?
how can we exist in a place?
Is this the waste that we create.
(you can leave your marks,
but there will never be proof that you exist.
But there we are; breaking into pieces trying our best.
to over come the hard progression ahead.
If we use all the pieces *we wont have anything left*
We must fight the urge to sink this low
Grip tight to all that we have left.
We still need to learn and grow.
Theres still more theres still more that we don't know
Just open up and let it flow
Just open up and let it go
While we contemplate
Past decisions made
Always talking never listening
To a word we say
Its times like these
We fight this fight
We push ourselves to overcome just see the light
Its times like these
We fight for life
Even if we never see another sunrise
Always thinking never acting
Its time we speak up
Stop playing the roll
Of somone who fucking does
nothing at all
Maybe then we'll be alright
Then well be okay
Until we change this fate
we'll always feel this way
Elevated by the thoughts that drive us insane
Keeping us up at night as we lay awake
Thinking of past times we could of changed
We scaled this summit
as night turns to day
to reach the greatest heights

Torn Roads
03:23
|

When this began
I was so young
I was broken
The product of a broken home
Ran the streets
Like a fucking nomads
As they say we are born to roam
Can we rebuild
Rebuild our fucking home
Moving on has never seemed so rough
A transition of who I've become
These next steps I will take
Will shape my life
If I stay I might run out of time
Living with a tyrant
Always breathing down my neck
With alcohol in his breath
And a coke binge waiting to be fed
It was apparent
I had to leave this situation
Packed my shit left at 2 a.m
That was the last time that I ever saw him
Years have passed since I seen you're face
To this day you're memory still haunts me
A rage still burns to know as your son that I wasn't worth x2
The chance you never gave me
You are the cloud dwelling over head
The weight on my shoulders
You'll never change
Those who never learn
They make the same mistakes
I tried to warn you
You pushed me away
We don't see eye to eye on anything

I have been searching for far too long
I feel what we've been taught has left us thinking all wrong
Ideals of man who had long since been gone
We blame the ones who have helped us all along
If we've learned anything its that we need to change not remain the same
Because In the end
You'll never get another chance
Cause I can't wait for failure again
God knows I tried so hard
I can't sleep through this current state of mind
I feel you're presence and, it's eating at my insides
How far would I make it if I never truly feel alive
Give me strength. I can feel myself slipping away
Just beyond my finger tips
It's as if it's always been there
Sorrow is a burdon to you're heart
As it clings to every beat while these thoughts flood my day dreams
I'm left constantly wondering will I ever see What I percieve as my own life
Is my reality just another one of my day dreams
Take your time to see that this is your lie
take your time to see that this is your life
A spitting image in my head
A reflection of what I couldve been
Replayed as an endless memory
Here I go again lost in a day dream

Erosion of the membrane walls
Causing delay in these particles
Distorted vision elevates my astral body
Aligning my conscience with the stars
A euphoric plain unfolds
To free your mind
And reach broader horizons
An emotional escape
Inhale to arrive there
We all eventually sink back into the earth
The events of a lifetime embrace me
Like a vortex
Breathe it in
Till my lungs fill with smoke
Leave your soul behind
Breathe it in
Taste the colors on your tounge
Reaching beyond the mind
Illusion
A phantom appears
An image carved
Since the day you disappeared
This is where you belong
I start to lose my focus
Reflecting on another dimension
With so much beauty to behold
How do i begin to comprehend
Infinity
Breath it in
Reaching beyond the mind

Arrival
03:06
|

Light emerges from the black horizon
Our ship has entered the terrestrial stratosphere
As we drift into the unknown
Reaching to sustain existence
With No Knowledge of what we'd discover
wreckage was all we found
The ruins of the abandoned
Panic starts to sink in, there's nothing left
No sign life
Our misguided excursion has failed us
Then the sky opens up
as a vessel appears, Our hopes restored.
could this be the vital sign we're searching for
An inorganic message relayed
A database revealed as
A message of self destruction
A florescent glow
Triggers the ignition of the atmosphere
The center of this planet collapsing underneath our feet
Evacuation our desperate remedy
Activate the thrusters
Evacuate this catastrophe
Was our journey in vain
What would it take to reset our mistakes
There is no escape, our lungs collapse from the pressure we take.
There is, no escape

Eternal

We survived the fall of a thousand civilizations
Etched in the walls the fate of mankind
We are forsaken
To live among the dark
Buried below
Reviel the scriptures
Forgotten for centuries
Once the earth has been cleansed of the waste of modern men
Then life can flourish once again
Years will have passed by then
What's uncoverd will determine what we leave behind
the truth came out
The answers were always there, falling through these ripples in time
While we're waiting for a better sense of direction
Where tragedy shook
It crumbled foundations
Torn roads can be repaved
If you choose to be the change
