Such a faint impression in my head that creates a complex figure It’s the next thing you should know, it’s the next thing you should know All the words I hate that make me feel so intolerant without reason It’s the next thing you should know, it’s the next thing you know My senses arise in a solitary form Descending from high as a miracle unknown I’ve changed in time, still unable to amend The voice subsides with the rivals you defend How can I ever let you down? How can I ever make you smile, when I hate me too?

Once a friend, now a foe that repents…shit I found me a way that lets me tell just by a look how well you play your part I came across a method that defines just how effectively you’re set apart I’m sure you wish you had a way to show The wisdom of transmuting friend to whore And when you stand across me pure as gold I just enjoy knowing how easily you’re sold There’s probably an instance where I don’t obstruct the path of your nobility It happens when you sense, you can just fuck your way into tranquility It’s good to know how far your morals go To filter trepidation from your hollow world And when you stand across me pure as gold I just enjoy knowing how easily you’re sold Get it through your head, there’s no common ground You dragged it over your famished mouth Now you call it friend but I don’t hear a sound So cradle all your trophies making sure that you ignore The fact the dumbest thing you ever thought Was maybe you could handle what you score No common ground/Don’t call it friend I know you have a place where you get everything you need To keep your conscience clear Just don’t forget my face, I bet you tried But couldn’t make it simply disappear Do you run the figures through your mind? When your dick dictates the way you live your life And when you sleep your righteous sleep at night Do you meet others like me wishing you to die?

Dragam Alom 04:19
[Sometimes I wonder if it’s the silence I miss more than the beauty… Sometimes I just sit and stare at the others, knowing just like them how little of myself is still my own... I can always say no and I am often tempted to…but then I would own even less of my life… Nothing happens, something changes…and you are all caught in the middle…] It’s not the aura you let loose, for just a view they all can pay It’s not the lies that help seduce, their every sordid touch away It’s what you wear over your soul, and take it off when no one stares A cold regret swallows you whole, a life for which too few will care And when something changes sides Within your dearest dreams How stale, how pale this infinity confines Never too close, never too keen, barely part of dumb romance Always willing, always ready, but we only get one chance And when something changes sides Within your dearest dreams How stale, how pale this infinity confines And when nothing happens right Within your dearest dreams Always embrace the way attention feels or dies You strain to show yourself the difference in you Between the lies and what could pass as true So go on, stagger for a reward, all the times you renounced to ignore Swallow the drug in your shroud of remains, God blessed in vain

Feed My Own 03:59
I’m a drop in the ocean, a grain of sand washed away I’m a war without reason, a countdown to your decay Back down beyond shame Hands off of me, I’ve no one to blame Part of you denies my will, Is it not the other way around? Nothing seems to calm your thrill, Getting closer to be lost and found I’m a leader to your kind, dead set to walk alone I am trust in your last hope, a dice roll that feeds my own Can’t get to you, no way out Bound to pretend, shut your mouth Second chance has proven right A free fall in zero gravity Precious mind, but dead inside I’ve let you down below to set me free I am drawn in my own spin Ruled by the secrecy of vows You feel how it caves in Put aside these riddles and move on...

Shy away from one place to another, get to linger all the same Shackled on a path too plain, with no one to bother Reaching for the only destination, now you know just how to claim The definition and the name of a figure father Just a position you’ve been trying to make sense of Only to realize you never get far And when the phone decides to ring you’re in the same hole Still learning how to deal with your own scar A situation you’ve been trying to make sense of Only to realize you never get far And when your bones begin to shatter under pressure It’s kinda hard to stay upon the path So you save for when the days get better and the rain is far behind For when the last thing on your mind is a simple way to make your pain real…
7.
Having never drawn respect, beaten down into neglect To begging and shame, so close… Having no weak point to show, you built the man you wanted so With wailing and rage Now you take it all apart, when you were so… So close to hearing, so close to hearing So close, yet still gone, close yet not real Making sure you voice things loud You make everybody proud by virtue of flame Just when everybody thought you were done with being taught You’re broken again Now you take it all apart, when you were so…

Some decided they had reasons to keep up Some were helplessly outdated Some suggested that a slip-up never kills No one cried out when they had to You found ways to make your whisper louder still Though you seem to be forgetting That becoming you was never my own will Now that’s exactly what you’re getting Words fly like stones in this glass house of mine As you push through the years to the back of my mind It will cost you my dear, it will kill you inside Because hurting you keeps me constantly alive Words fly like stones, fly and break all these years, fly away…

Error Step 04:55
Break off the endless sway of silence I took it further, shedding the thorns around my mind Planting loose regrets for those you leave behind You found something old and tried to make it somehow new (Lo and behold) You gave it life with one big lie, you tried to make it true For every step I follow there’s a purpose I adore I’m picking up the pace to leave this enemy ignored For every wrong intention please excuse my little crime I’ll smile at your face and keep this moment till I die Cash and prayer, holy profit, sacred fear Always touch now that tomorrow’s here Climb the cross for someone you thought you could trust As the martyrs turn all your hope to dust When nothing stays there’s nothing I want more Let no one pray to gods that weren’t here before...

Staring through my eyes so frail and empty For once I’ll join this age of incomplete I’ve fallen victim to my craft, to the danger in my art, I follow blindly My fabricated insight for just the fraction of your sight, I follow kindly Stand up, by me, embrace my need and change in hibernation No pride inside of anything, so waste all your aggravation “The eyes can only see what the mind projects” Hostile and reverent I daydream in disarray Stay back unseen, how obscene, you can only observe and follow kindly A lesson learned from time to time, free falling, Hopeless, thinking wide, come follow blindly Wasting our time, trailing the light of a vision so incomplete all the tension and madness Even the odds, now that I’ve worn out a lifetime in favor of all my ungrateful strangers...

Pictures hidden in a word, frozen in a frame so worn Fingers weaving down the hill that I bleed on Still waiting for the sun to fall Still fading, like the light I will be gone Puppets thrown inside a well, sharing only silent eyes Lipstick letters on the mirror spelling what the shadow hides Still holding on a perfect year Still driven by your one and only fear Miss the point and I’ll be there to see you crawl Change the meaning and you’ll never know Time is waiting for the day it all will fail Still I’m hiding from what’s mine again Driving circles on a road of ice and pain Always wearing a disguise that keeps me sane Still dreaming of a quiet day Still knowing that the dream will fade away Ask your nightmares, all they do is say your name Speak, but hurry, I’m about to wake Time is waiting for the day it all will fail Still I’m hiding from what’s mine again...
