Lyrics:

Inadequate

Embrace this feeling that I can’t see progress,
Emptiness indefinitely, I feel haunted,
Hold back this encumbering torment,
Just so I can seem fine,

This piercing light upon my eyes,
Forces my hand in spite of wanting,

Hide the consequences of your actions,
I only see failure in my future,
Hide the consequences of your actions,
I only see failure in my life,

Often I will see demise, waiting in my future,
Gripping on tightly, to my inadequacy.
But then my eyes are closed, I’m the only one who,
Listens to myself, don’t trust anyone,

Often I will see demise, waiting in my future,
Gripping on tightly, to my inadequacy.
But then my eyes are closed, I’m the only one who,
Listens to myself, don’t trust anyone,

This piercing light upon my eyes,
Forces my hand in spite of wanting,
As I descend into the abyss my eyes are opening wider,
This burning light of pessimistic deficiency becomes the snake inside my mind.

This piercing light upon my eyes,
Forces my hand in spite of wanting,
As I descend into the abyss my eyes are opening wider,
This burning light of pessimistic deficiency becomes the snake inside my mind.

You know that I can see you,
So why’d you try to hide?
(Hide the consequences of your actions,
I only see failure in my future,)
You know that I can see you,
So why’d you try to hide?
Hide the consequences of your actions,
I only see failure in my life.



Uncertainty

I’m fucked if I know what you mean,
so I’m never gonna compromise on anything you ever say,

Hiding in my uncertain mind I can’t seem to find a sense of self belief or control,

My will escapes my grasp,

Suffering in silence is a port of call in pessimism,
Who could tell you anything worth listening to?
My will escapes my grasp,
Who could tell you anything that you’d understand?
Passively pestering pessimists in forms of punishment,
Who could tell you anything that would make a change?
My will escapes my grasp,
Who could tell you anything that would sink in?

Never sure of yourself,
Always want that second answer,
Never sure of yourself,
Always want that second answer,
Never sure of yourself,
Always want that second answer,
Never sure of yourself,
Always want that second answer,

Care,

This indecision haunts the consciousness at every step,
Dwelling on each word heard until there’s nothing left,
Deafening cries take over all the thoughts inside your head,

No choices made,
No truths remain,
A mind so broken,
Concerned without a purpose,
No choices made,
No truths remain,
A mind so broken,
Concerned without a purpose.

(My journey of self improvement has been successful thus far,
Thinking about that final goal keeps me going,
And achieving the little things,
But what I hate to believe is that my building blocks are frivolous,
And I am just stock on repeat.)


Pilgrimage

Every single time I stop, the pain in the back of my head returns,
Needles drawn to punish me for the lack of effort and motivation,

What am I working towards?
When I can’t see a future,
The emptiness doesn’t help my eyes,
To deter from the task at hand,

If I could feel accomplished,
Like I had made it to my destination,
Have everything I wanted,
I’d still feel overwhelming dissociation,

No matter how far I go,
There is nothing behind me,
Yet so now that you’ve passed me,
You’re there, only to haunt me.

I can’t believe you left me here alone on our journey,
I thought you were with me until the,
I can’t believe you left me here alone on our journey,
I thought you were with me until the,
I can’t believe you left me here alone on our journey,
I thought you were with me until the end,

No matter how far I go,
There is nothing behind me,
Yet so now that you’ve passed me,
You’re there, only to haunt me.


Sense Of Impending Doom

Have you ever seen the walls around you closing in?
With no escape, you’ve no control, your mind has left, the pressure wins.

As you stare into space you see your mind betray you as the future disappears,
Your consciousness travels into a world where there all things you love are simultaneously destroyed,
Your sense of self importance rises as you lose your future,
Your mind is tethered to the darkness swarming from your cryptic core,

Listening to the voice inside uttering the words you wish weren’t spoken,
Bellowing out this bitter undying plea for cease of pitied existence,

Breathing gets harder,
Beating gets faster,
Tired eyes and laughter,

You regain your consciousness as they stare at your pale face,
The fear inside your eyes is telling of your chosen fate,
A glance to each of them is enough with increasing pace,
Breathing can’t keep up the blood it won’t oxygenate,
But there is no telling of when it will happen the process is out your hands,
If only your hell it would come and then drag you until it could meet your demands,
The devil is coming, is running, upon it you’ll lie as it spits at your feet,
The only thing stopping your corpse from it’s rotting is admitting defeat,


Guardian

Listening to who could bring me life, is what keeps me moving forward,
As I look back into the past I can see those who I owe my life,

You’re the only one stopping me leaving this place,
You’re the whole reason I could be who I wanted,

As I stare into space, I can only see your face,
I look forward to my dreams because I know that you want it for me,

For everyone but you, I would not continue,
I know you don’t want to see me go,

I see your life in front of mine, protector,
A path of light forever shines, perfect for me,

I tread into this solemn sanctuary of my destined disappointment,
Knowing full well that my frustration will never be diffused,
The problems lie where they will and won’t spread further,
My infliction has selected it’s victim and will commit this murder,

For everyone but you, I would not continue,
I know you don’t want to see me go,

I’ve got this feeling inside me,
The cold embrace rushes through me,
My heart it won’t listen to me,
Blood won’t return and renew me,

Believe me,
You were everything I asked you to be.
