Past the Prologue

like a delta, i diverge
further and further i'm continuing to serve
different idols left and right
i prey on their weakness
but all i'm trying is to hide
my heart aching
i am anxious to arrive
at your shoreline, at your feet
meeting my end at the sea
for my name's sake, i'll sustain
in bringing together who i am and what you gave
i stayed too long in that cell
keeping your promise, you delivered me from hell
yes, she, her softness laid bare my heart
yeah, she can heal me
when the day comes where i'll see you
we'll be together anew
so many stories got inside my head
lately, my dreams were about you instead
still, there's one thing i'm not sure
i'll ever accept: that judgment
but i will not have to act like i'm clean or okay
i won't be bothered to tidy my place
either you'll take me or never embrace
i'm full of flaws and i barely have changed

A Terrible Lie
04:14

just another morning
like most i'm on my own
lose what i was dreaming
to sink into my phone
i'll admit that i'm restless
out of luck and i'm helpless
barely showing signs of what's going on in my mind
and if i'm being honest
i'm entwined with my regrets
and it's a terrible lie
i can't wait for that encounter
but i'm such a strong doubter
would it really help if i let you read my mind
'cause if i'm being honest
i'm so scared of what you might find
and it's a terrible lie
that i'm pretending to be sure
and it's a terrible lie
that keeps me coming back
for more and more and more and more

i have witnessed the years getting wasted
but got no one to blame but myself
i'm stuck in repeating this cycle of pleading
got me wishing i'd be someone else
neither hand nor a rope to hold on to
my mind now mystified and circling his maze
only the dead set on going back homewards
seems there are some things i can not erase
there is one rule i'm finally sure of
i am better off never alone
would you take all that is left of me with you?
i then promise i'll be home with you soon
and i'll return to the feeling i once knew
make my only way out of this life
all becomes calm like my first years
you were the only one i needed near

Off Balance

i spent so many days in shame, i can't escape
it's getting harder every day to express the pain
i have a pen but its color is not right
it used to be blue but it's gotta be black as the night
i was your mule, but ran out of fuel
throwing me off balance
longing for acceptance
you're just making sure
i'll never sing the words
each and every moment
you have been my owner
never left your home
'cause i'd be alone
it's like my heart's been split in two
and i no longer know what to do
traded my sorrow for the guilt
but all i really want is that my soul will be still
still there are some days i think of
what it's like waking up to find that
i have been wrong all this time
you were my king and i was just a kid
throwing me off balance
longing for acceptance
you're just making sure
i'll never sing the words
we stay under covers
you have been my lover
let the world spin round
'cause we're underground

Wouldn't You Like It
04:06
|

caught up by seekers
they're all off their perfect lines
i've crossed a couple borders
to end up in my confines
raising my voice to cause an echo off the wall
after the silence
i gained a sense of kinship from that fall
wouldn't you like it?
while i'm singing my song
i'm twisting my tongue simultaneously
altering words to fit with the noise of
discord inside me
link all the lands
remember the fleeting phase of being free
wouldn't you like it?
wouldn't you? wouldn't you?
wouldn't you need it?
