“This Endless test is daunting.
Constant wearing of my soles.
Day by Day,
strapped to this stone
enduring talons tearing at my torso.”
What is my purpose here?
Solely to suffer in anguish?
Day by Day
Strapped to this stone
Enduring talons tearing at my torso.
Forgive my sins
For it has been 10,000 days since
I have strayed from the light
These vices have led me here
Spiraling without control
My will is free, but I fear its not for good.
Tonight,
release
The mask from under which
“you hide.”
There are moments
in my life
Where I wish I could reverse the choice I made
Through these trials
and the strife
There will never be another chance to save
There will never be another
My rope’s cut loose!
I’m sinking
I’m sinking away!
I have never felt this lack of entropy
My rope’s cut loose!
Don’t let me, Don’t let me drift away!
My Lungs are seizing up and I can’t breathe
Skin fading, the Sensation leaves "
“Stars align and finger tips peel, aerials elapse.
Thoughts, though once benign, now retract.
Tendrils from the depths at my heels.
Lost in the abyss.
Suspended in the dark, a wave of pure despair washes over me.”
My rope’s cut loose!
I’m sinking
I’m sinking away!
I have never felt this lack of entropy
My rope’s cut loose!
Don’t let me, Don’t let me drift away!
My Lungs are seizing up and I can’t breathe

Bereavement

"Guns salute you while we're kneeling, the shots ring out and seem to say 'my time has come, though I live on through you.'
I watched you lift right through the ceiling. I wish you took me too that day.
Did you know that I didn't mean it, when I said I hate you. What a waste of time, and now you're gone, you're gone."

"Watch the sun rise up, close my eyes. I think I'll stay in bed, instead. Let the water run, burn my skin. I love to feel the pain, the scalding rain. Oh how it makes me feel alive when getting up feels so contrived. I guess I'll try, these days fly by.
(When I sleep, the pain recedes)
(The ceiling breaks, it takes me away)
Without you, what should I do?
I can hear the thunder, the waves are pulling me under.
Without you, what can I do?
I can hear the thunder, the waves are pulling me under, can you hear the
Rain in your ears. (Rain Fall )
I'm gonna do this without you.
Step by step, up a mountain carry this secret only you have kept so why do I feel the need to carry this regret. Alone, you say you can help, but I think this is something I need to do myself.
The grip you had was my worst invention, the piece you took left a huge indention, could you live without my attention?
So go ahead boy, be a coward. Walk on out now, I'll allow it. What's done in done. It caused destruction of my world, there's blood and hate stained in the soil. Know you stand on tainted ground.
I know that I could not have made it, without your arms there around my shoulder. Do not do this alone, tell mother we're coming home.
I wish that I could take back the things that I said to you, I didn't mean them. Don't think you are alone, tell mother we're coming home.
The grip you had was my worst invention, the piece you took left a huge indention, could you live without my attention?
I've come so far, take this as evidence. I've been to hell and back and I've brought a few tricks. Please hear me out, there's no need to apologize when all I need to know is.
I wanna know just what you're thinking, do you scream on still believing you should do this alone? Tell mother we're coming home. I'll sacrifice all that I have gained, for loving you just for one more day. Do not do this alone, tell mother we're coming home.
The grip you had was my worst invention, the piece you took left a huge indention, could you live without my attention?
I can't tell you where I've been. Since I've been walking blind, take me where this all began and leave it behind.
Was it in the patchwork I found? Could it only be what unwound?
Fruitless plains remain all around, Follow mother's voice underground.
Now that you see, it seems that everything you plan on, comes out the way you do not expect. What did you expect?"

"I wake to sirens, the change is drastic. I try to get up but the pressure keeps me down. I feel my heartbeat, it sounds erratic. Sit down take a deep breath, open up your chest, reach inside and throw out everything that's left.
This ascension from the unfathomable depths is the only heavenly sensation that I have ever known, that's a fact.
This is a warning shot, will you be the one to act or just sit back.
Sit down take a deep breath, open up your chest, reach inside and throw out everything that's left. Make it last, take this breath. Make it last.
Whatever way you choose to go, make it work.
Frigid water, will you be the one to act or just sit back?
Whatever way you choose to go, make it work."
"Please don't breathe, the vessel has capsized. Use your instincts to survive.
Soft blue light is piercing through my eyes, as I transcend my abyssal demise.
From the depths, emerges a sinner vindicated by the redemption of man
Kindness be taught to them all, primal flames ignite cataclysmic ways.
Water floods my lungs from clashing tides. Unseen arms lift me above.
An act of desperation to avoid a tragedy.
I'm swimming toward my saviors, the familiar feeling before. Their footprints in the sand, tiny impressions on the shore. I'm swimming toward my saviors. The familiar feeling before, their faces behind masks, tiny impressions on the shore.
There you go, running off again when shit gets hard. Nothing's gonna solve itself. Take my word on this, its short, it's simple, yet effective. Only you, can pull you out of hell.
I descend to their feet, innocent gazes meet my eyes. "
