Pushing for the end
Separation calls again
Nothing but distain, and hesitance
I cannot restrain the consequence
I wish I would’ve seen the signs
It doesnt matter now, i cannot change my mind
Distract, don’t let in the light
To shine and reflect off your broken life
Guilty by dissociation
Plagued with immoral contemplations
You cannot answer your calling with a mind on silent
Block off the world for self prescribed compliance
Its not your time
So tell yourself you’re fine
You fell right into your own trap again

I'm Knowing!

This lust for life has evaporated
But I mustn't think twice about
the part of me that died with you
The part of you that wasn't true
When all is said and done
The past’s not the past when it's all just begun
I said what I said
But the hardest part has yet to come
A misreporting void of consequence
The eyes are leering from all angles
Void of lifelessness
I must inform you that the voices coming from your head
Are very likely wrong
You’ve very likely already dead
A common burden burning on your lawn
You gaze upon your cross
But to bear it doesn’t make it gone
Oh god
This surely hasn't been my fault all along
The worst is yet to come
But no need to fret when you already know you’ve never been wrong
The best has more than passed
You’ll never forget it this will never last
I see the signs
All the tears you’ve shed
Will never
Make you happy again
You’ve dug your grave now lie your way out
The fate you’ve sealed by your own doubts

Response to silence
Ever sinking
Thoughts leading to death are all I'm thinking
Respond to nothing, you’re on your own
Its creeping in
It will never fade away
Open up to possibilities
The consequences yet unseen
Open up
Just once
Wishful thinking only gets one so far
Totality is shrinking when we’re shooting up shooting stars
Epitomes aren’t everything
This pit of apathy consuming me is starting to retard
I’ll come at you
You come at me
And we’ll both enjoy injections of dopamine
You say you're through
But come back to me
How does it feel living life as a casualty
Will things ever be same
I contemplate, rewinding all the things I meant to say
Knowing things will never change
The bad's all that's burned in my brain
I always had a chance to say…
Reactions have consequences

Exasperation takes a hold of me
I cannot fight this life
I cannot let this amend me
Distract deflect it all
Protect the few parts that you think you have left of a soul
Reembody consciousness
A spirit awakened
A feeling of bliss
a violent becoming is coming your way
Yet you waste your time on your #foryou page
Is this what I was meant to be
But you never thought to ask yourself
Waste your potential(become impotent)
Raise the stakes of dissent(you know that its not worth it)
Grasp your straws to try to coerce existence
And continue on your path of least resistance
Burn
Burn
You will never learn

A semblance of forgiveness
Further descending until
You've cut all your ties
You've lost all your minds
Incessantly creeping
Becoming obscenely
I’m seeing the signs
There’s nowhere to hide
Focused on
Another life
I don't believe in ghosts
But I believe in you
Cuz I can see you clearly, laying in my room
I cannot face this truth
This fact is haunting me
What can I do to protest this insanity
The death of you was the death of me
But life keeps living out its twisted fucking sick fantasies
Ones long forgotten
The other, a living hell
Another chance to take
Just another chance to fail
I don't know what to do anymore
Words cannot express
The words inside my head
And inside yours
What will it take to break through
This eternal darkness will never help me erase you
A million steps forward but two million back
My inherent being in under attack
No end is sight nowhere to hide
Done fighting for life when I don’t feel alive
All I wanted was forgiveness
But now I can see
Your forgiveness will never fix me
I recognize the times you pushed me far away
Were just to protect from the feelings we both wish would go away
Some days I wish I never met you sometimes I just wish you stayed
I'm sick of talking thinking dreaming why
Won't you go away
I think if it was meant to be
Then it would be but
Obviously
Since it didn't work out
I'll just go to sleep

Return to Form

The fact remains that the times have changed
And in fact
There hasn’t been a time I’ve felt more dismayed and
The memories are clear, never seeming to fade
Despite if time goes on, I cannot turn this page but
Perpetuated
Delusional beliefs
Reminders of another life
Incessantly, turn out the lights
I cannot sleep, I cannot rise
Surrounded with ghosts I’m haunted by
But when time starts to fade what is left
Of the inconsequential decisions we made
What's said is said
What's done is done
If its in the past
Why do I run
So quickly it caught up to me and
I wasn’t blind but I still don't see and
Begging for mercy, knowing its undeserved
Knowing the seeds of doubt I planted grow wildly undisturbed
The fact remains that the
Times have changed
Could never find the right words to say
See the thing about writing songs about you is
They’re all the fucking same
Veiled emotions are the problem, hate the player not the game
When I express myself intent is all I’m thinking but the words remain as hurtful as the day I realized, I'm the one to blame
I'd like to say things are better
But they're really just the same
With or without you isn't the question
When the constant remains
I know we never knew normal but we need a new normal and
If I could go back I would do it all again
Because we cannot fix our problems with each other when our problems with each other lie within

Death

I never thought I’d see this day
A thought to parse the fog that's bleeding in
As my vision fades away
It cuts through and screams, “will I last another day? Maybe I don’t even want to maybe I’m okay with change”
Is this my fate or just another misdirection toward the path that I have strayed
Overcoming, understanding that I cannot hold on
Any longer, blood slowing in my veins, now finally unrestrained
And now my time has come
It seems that time has won
The end has only just begun
A fleeting feeling to run
Without a path in front
Nowhere to go
Living for another
Dying for yourself
The most selfish act
An inevitable fact
And when you’re gone you might hope to be remembered
But neglect that if you are, you may keep others with you in the past
Send me a sign
To show I'm still alive
A final breath, a final thought
Now rest
I hope that you can find the peace that you never got
Is this the end
Darkness surrounds
Light’s breaking in
Above the clouds
A debt to be paid
Unsettling words that mean nothing
Abstain from emotionless
Empty words, this will fade away
A choiceless endeavor
A voiceless soul will remain

Wherever you are
I hope that you’re okay
And I hope when you think of me
It doesn’t ruin your day
And I hope that the thoughts
Have been worth all the pain
Because if they’re not
We’ll just stay the same
I regret the things that I’ve done
And I hope that we learn
And I hope that someday I can say
All the hurt and the pain that we caused
It wasn’t out of love,
We were born out of shame
I hope that you’re happy
And you’ve forgotten all about me
