Now see me again, this story unfolds
The story of nothing where once there was hope
Envisioned again, look at me up-close
Revealing a pattern my footsteps left up
Sooner or later, the doubt takes ahold
Starting and stopping, I’m losing control
I sit back and watch as it passes right by
Delaying my problems without knowing why
Soon enough I’ll find meaning to see
But now I’m just…
Waiting for the day when I’ll finally get to rise
Waiting for the day when my troubles will subside
While I’m just waiting here
I will learn sometime
I will earn some time

Well I’ve been searching and searching and searching
But nothing again
Can’t find what I looked for in life to be a stronger man
And I’ve been clutching and clutching and clutching
But nothing’s the same
These changes that came up made me begin to understand
I’m all alone
My face only shows fright
As I grow cold
I reach in for your sight
Now I’m here and I need you
I’ll cry and deceive you
I’m open again for your heart
Though it’s worthless and hopeless
I’m waiting for it to make sense at all
And with open arms
I’ve been trying to know, what I can give to this world
But so far it’s a useless pursuit
As I’m sober again
And I keep on trying to forget

The feelings I’d been slowly masking
By making a happy face
Illuminating a path to nowhere
I was stranded by your gaze
I heard your voice and suddenly
Everything fell into place
Reflecting points of uncertainty
I tried my best to know your shape
I had been falling and falling and falling
While everything just stumbled away
But for one second, I thought everything was okay
And in the frenzy I lost control of all the things that made me sane
Just so entranced by the possibility you’d feel the same
But it was all just a dream
And all those moments that we spent together that I did my best to take
All that remains is just a burning memory that I cannot force to fade
But for that second, I thought I was strong enough to keep up this façade
What does it matter having been a good friend, in the end I broke your heart
I had been falling and falling and falling
While everything just stumbled away
But for one second, I thought everything was okay
And in the frenzy, I lost control of all the things that made me sane
So entranced by the possibility you’d feel the same
But it was all just a dream (It was all a dream I can't get out of)

Once in wonderland, lived a stubborn man
Nobody knows of him
Consumed and depraved, he forced himself to take
The dark, broken emptied path
Falling to disdain, he took it all in vain
He hoped for the pain to subside, he hoped to see the light
Seeing his eyes change shape, mitigating pain
He lost himself and thus
Now he’s lost and frail, and to no avail
Disfigured and blind he begs to stop the fight

Forgotten to the Sea

I see a ship that sails
Off to the deep dark sea
While the storm is rising
The ocean digs a grave for me
The water rises still
Covers both my feet
Soon enough the water will cover
All that’s left of me
I nearly drowned in this
Deep and tenacious sea.
But who wants to pass beyond the storm,
Must first pass beyond the suffering.
As I leave this port
With me come my fears
I sail to nowhere and trouble other waters with my tears.
Creatures stare and gleam
As I am changing shape
The storm rises higher
I encounter other’s same dark fate
So I just stand here
With the past standing close behind me
So I just stand here
As I forge a future for everyone to see
And what is left of me will be eaten by that which came to feed off my misery
While I just wait and plead
Forgotten to the sea
As I reach this coast I hear muffled voices
Surrounding roars and resilient voices
Misunderstandings that peak my eye
As I wait for the pain to subside
The saudade of the early days
Is replaced by the Sehnsucht of haze
How much longer till I finally drown?

A Blight Farewell

I drove up to the sea
I drove up to the sea
Now I’m gone
Now I’m gone
Gone away, I roam alone
Gone away, my senses shut
I drove up to the sea
I drove up to the sea
Now I’m gone
Now I’m gone
Nothing left to concede
Nothing left to concede
To be strong
To be strong
I’ll waste away, my escape calls
I’ll waste away, and my head stops
Everything I thought I could leave behind
To find out where I was before
You see me walking out the door
And I will try to
Everything I thought I could leave behind
To find out where I was before
You see me walking out the door
And I will try to
Mend as I drift away
