Oni 05:15
Cleanse me, my thoughts are lost in the reverie We have all fought the inner battles, we have all felt inadequate There is a demon within us all Keep the pain within yourself and just never take the time To question what can be done to resolve what is not absolute I might not find peace, but I have found stability Stay, confront the hate inside you, erase it I have seen much better days But hope still flows within my veins I still have faith my mind can change And drop these thoughts that plague my gaze The battle is not done, the fight has not been won The state of desolation was what brought me to my knees I’ve learned to test my mind before I give into this grief Have you learned to test your mind? False perception can make us blind Don’t let the evil control your sight We are all in this together Though our symptoms are not the same Take the time to question what can resolve this phase It is not permanent

What is the purpose of hatred in those whose walk at offbeat paces? This stone cold heart of snow you pride yourself on alone It brings out misery Only if time would pass you up to make this meaning antique We’d live so mirthfully You would forsake those who show no harm And abnegate their thoughts The pain you seek in us It is the pain you secrete Live with passion and evict your convictions Not every life that you despise deserves the humiliation It is still clear that you can cure yourself through revaluation Rise Our world is moving forward Close your eyes and it will leave you behind End the obsession and cleanse the selfish oppression We aren’t of the faint of the heart Hardened That cannot endure a sin Live with passion and evict your convictions Not every life that you despise deserves the humiliation

Call me god If you believe in the faulty It is the patrons who follow in the shadows of forgery That have since clawed at the heels through their own cecity This is the worship of mavericks The way you pay your wage for the taste of the fame It is the bane of our desires And its been going for too long For there are greater ideals But yet you’re still romancing over taking what you can’t reach It’s so pathetic how you’ve been living Through the visions of someone else They are nothing more than what’s made of you and I The pedestal, it’s placed above the sky Do you wish that you were granted this, A life composed of inscience You seek the elation? The fix of novelty at your demand I want to break right through this worthless investment You seem to deem as something real I see you’re infatuated But l can still not see the value in this idolization The self-made are the members who will rule this land Synthetic deities will not fool me Stay away and don’t return until you find yourself So realize the path you’ve chosen to take

Azure 03:17
The sea of contingency was right before my sight I thought I was ruined but the wake pulled me in, it compelled me To open my options, to see things from another perspective I need to realize that I’m adept It’s through acknowledging our capability We find the strength to live and pass the spirit on I don’t want to live with guilt, don’t want to just move through space We just need to focus more on what we have learned to love Life is just a test of endurance, can you brave the immensity? This world is brutal and savage, without hope you will surely surrender And face the wrath of its ruthlessness, its time I remember to be strong And brace the waves of society Its time to face the waves of society, its time to break my state of complacency
5.
You will meet thousands of wandering souls But who will you let define you? I have scoured my world for common ground to build a base To perpetuate the growth of camaraderie There is no middle ground, I want sincerity in my life To be the influence that will expel the grief (that rests the mind) I’ve seen your eyes, they gleam with antipathy I’ll risk my chance on someone else Wait for gains, the pact will come unless you choose to burn this place Don’t make haste to satisfy your current state Choose your fate, don’t waste your time on those who will deviate From the virtues you hold on to I’ve found faith in those who’ve influenced me in a meaningful way The time to make a choice, it rests on your shoulders now Will you give into pain and let their dreams outshine your own? Decide who you want to be and just let fate take its course I’ll call the shots on this and choose the lives that I wont remiss I need to know that I am worth more then just a means to an end Genetic drift, the chance of influence it’s in my blood I know im prone to react this way I knew our thoughts and they could not relate

Paramnesia 03:53
I swear I thought this dissolved but you have brought back the vision The words I’ve said but cannot recall, absolved through the rampant illusions Where do I stand today? I’m at the mercy of your frame of mind, Provide the clarity I need to hold stability I think I’m torn between the space Of truth and lies, the gap is blurring to the point of obscurity Has the storm passed us by or just the start of a silent dissension How time’s flied, but yet i feel so nostalgic inside, I that won’t forget this, In due time despite the fights, I want to see this all come through We have come too far to break this down In due time despite the fights, I want see this all come through Stayed up to many nights only to realize this fantasy’s not real Crushed within, my life is a sin, nothing can ever redeem me now I have swallowed my words and stepped away from this, won’t interfere with the risk of a conflict I know I need to recognize the truth from lies, don’t want to sympathize the sacrifice of my own pride I’ve tried so hard to make this right, you never help me through consolation The burden of unspoken words is wrought to bring us all astray Is this the way that we’ll end this? A lifetimes to long to defy the better moments that we’ll reflect on and make us sane

Crestfallen 03:59
So many times I’ve wondered why this life is so unappeasable It’s that its ravaged those who don’t deserve the cruelty that it has served That makes us pray for you It’s over twenty years you’ve lived in fear There’s no stopping this, the pain, it climbs to newer heights You’ve worn the battle scars and here you are, it shows that you’re strong A symbol of hope to everyone It is a steady decline, an abomination that’s disrupting us all I want this all to subside, I know the cure will arrive So hang in there please, the worst will not come if we choose to believe this isn’t end of all things and so I will not hold my breath The wind is still blowing But I just can't seem to break through this phase The thought of losing you becomes the worst of my fears
9.
I’m beginning to glow and the nights just emerging Amongst the hills of this foreign place Sharing our hearts, illuminating our states And though this flight won’t last forever I know it’s one I won’t soon forget Stay and bring your life to this circle The stories endearing, we’re high off the harmony This feels like home, but is it where I belong? My mind can’t decide So pour the liquid of reason so we can surmise A blue-sky design and leave the past behind us I don’t want to go back and live like I did in the past Look at this gathering We are the products of leniency I now feel like one, is this the feeling of being real? Tonight we are one Entranced by the greater surroundings Our spirits rekindled by a central flame There is no feeling that’s quite like this This is the last time we’ll share this space Tonight we are one
10.
It starts with conversation And yet we make the occasion, a feeling made so discrete I’m sick of stepping through fields of broken glass The lesions of frailty, they only drive us farther apart Disconnected and it’s just the beginning To know that pressure builds when We’re the victims of self-doubt I can’t seem to break down the barricade I’ll stay to maintain what’s left of this Don’t want to burn down these bridges tonight There might be something here, something for both of us I’ll run the risk of failing again The darkness has risen and taken my vision To places I can’t describe Its presence is grating and has left me so empty inside Ascension seems stagnant but the will has grown inside The shell will break down and rewrite your diatribe You’ve used to define me I can just tell from the reaction you don’t like my point of view but its mine and i stand by, what is on my mind couldn’t care if you smite my judgement i smile in prize fight so far I’ve been living to please, decrease tension now I’m just thinking of me i wanna venture step to the deep end forever sail ships of relations into great weather I’m at a point in my life where the words are artillery given the right knowledge ill demolish almost anything simmer down you bitter clown i see that frown and body language that matches unlatch your heart and just relax it The walls that keep me in is a maze of obscurity, this place is At your command and it’s lacking an exit With every step, there is a sense of security I know that patience aids, one day I’ll break your gaze It is my only desire to bring you down to ground, away from being a stranger
11.
Adversity 03:26
I was wrong and I can’t believe That it’s taken me this long To recognize adversity within me I have tried to extinguish these demons What does it take to see the silver lining? When we live in a world of spite and denomination I have chosen to see the darkest forms of circumstance Yet I’m the critic without direction It’s time to let this go I’ve stricken down your words With nothing more then a baseless perspective And I’m cheating my own mind into believing Your thoughts are worthless You don’t deserve this I thought I’d be your voice of reason To guide you to a better place But I cannot dictate your direction This has killed my way of interconnection And it’s leaving me in a strain of remorse That I just can't shake and decide to relegate I know I need to ease the blame The time is now, I’ll learn my faults, I need my mind to remember Rise then fall, it’s been the way that I’ve atrophied I want to grow and learn my place, devoid of imperfection Take a look inside There wasn’t anything that seemed amiss in me I would just dismiss the force that I portrayed It was the frailty, I couldn’t see in me And I was wrong It was the frailty, I couldn’t see in me
12.
It’s only silence that you’ll be getting from me These lines are broken and lack utility Who knew we’d grow so far apart From sheathed hostility So many visions of places that were once shared and Seem so far away They now remind of how much faith I’ve lost in you There is no value in playing games with me Respect is gone, the bond undone Straining thoughts, stress holding onto adverse matters Have you felt the wind breeze right down your shoulders? That cold that strikes the spine, it’s giving me the shivers Distance read as giving up on our amity In due time, despite the fights, I want us to see each other truly happy A change that’s made through reformation Let’s give it time, to find our sights, maybe we’ll learn something So if we meet again and if the air is cleared We’ll drop these passive aggressions
