The Lack
02:34
|

I want to scream out but I can't find the words.
I want to erupt in exuberance, towards the heavens like the birds
From the meadow, with purpose, a discourse
I want you to understand this hurt
Swallowed whole, by all that pains me
I lash out, selfishly
I yearn to bring them back
So they may know the lack
The longing that never sleeps
Yet, keeps me awake
Manifesting for all to see
Underneath these eyes and knuckles as they bleed
Drowned out, white noise shrouds every sound
I am silenced by the sky
It has forgotten, no longer listening
I am left behind
Yearning
Pleaing
Exhausted
Wasting

The Aftermath
03:04
|

Cooler now, the gentle waters tease my feet
Inviting my body to greet them
The mists sit at shoulders height
Rolling in with the sunset
Observing quietly, soaking it all in
With a solemn air
I burned down my home
Calloused hands, shaking
Slowly picking through rubble
Grip each jagged edge
Each piece, a memorial
Grimacing at the sting
Fresh wounds, still bleeding
Old wounds, not yet scarred over
Continue building through agony
The blood stains skin red
Force myself to breathe again
Feel the wind refill my lungs
Force myself to breathe again

God damn
I've been wasting away in drink again
What began in the vein of leisure
Ends in a wallow of self-torment
Every detail
I've buried deep within my soul
Creeps from my heart
To my burning throat
Isolated in my woe
Rampant self-abuse is all I know
Lost all sense of self-control
One more drink and I'm gone, I'm headed home
Should I be behind the wheel tonight?
Morbid self-perception
Leaves love ones terrified (calls me to suicide)
God damn
I'm lost inside myself again
Walking through blizzard skies
Freezing open skin
The stark and barren trees
Guide me to my home
The cigarette hits the filter
And is left to the lonely cold
Relapsing over again
Fall into my bed
Consumed by the suffocating weight of all my reckless sin
Relapsing again, fall into my bed
Crushed under the suffocating weight of my reckless sin
Relapse again
Pull me aside into the snow
Hushed concern, cigarettes burn
Celebration give way to distress
I speak and I always forget
Impartial rhetoric
Has you scared half to death
I assure you I'm alright
I need to walk and clear my head
I would have never thought
This is how I'd see myself
Relapsing over and over
Inside this prison cell

The Proustian Chain
05:20
|

In mere seconds
All senses are washed away
And before my eyes is, a beautiful space in time
A moments betrayal
Brings the bite and the sting
Playing emotions
Like puppets on string
Minutes turns to hours as the avalanche won't yield its reign
Breakneck movements, fashions all into a complex, drawn-out Proustian Chain
Heavy hangs its bounds of torment, dysphoric notions, anxieties
Euphoria ravaged by failing, perpetuates my guilt
Retreat, hide away
Intoxicated, despondent daze
No alcohol swimming through veins
Drunken sensation of violet memories
Dancing moths to treasonous flame
Incandescent death, born of tragedy
Where love once was, only yearning remains in place
Disengage, from these shackles
Release me
I find no solace here
There is no solace here
Betrayer, release me
Let me alone
These chains have etched their mark
Into my very skin
This weight will never lift
Until my end

The Pyre
05:04
|
|||
Fall to my knees, dizzy from drink
Take another hit, quietly I sink
Loneliness, emptiness, anger, regret
All of these things I cannot forget
A walking reminder of my ruination
Selfish bastard, heart consumed by hatred
Scratching skin until it bleeds
Fears befallen, my eyes do now see
Follow me into my dreams
Condemnation, for all the pain I caused
Self-immolation, in attempts to atone
Put me on the pyre, set me ablaze
This is my pyre, set my soul ablaze
I set fire to everything
The last page took the longest to burn
A place that once brought me peace
Can't save me anymore
As the last page turns to ash
I can't bring myself to leave
I set fire to everything
This is where I deserve to be
Set me ablaze, set my soul ablaze
