Surface Tension

I walked this road a thousand times
I’ve stumbled down and I’ve lost my mind
I took this path so many times before
I’ve tripped each time and fell on the floor
Stubborn I’ve been so headstrong and not willing to turn
Back to the place I came from and belong
Voice guides me further under water
Waves wash me over and don’t let go
I’m trapped inside, under this layer of ice, layer of ice
I’m trapped inside
Swim - but sharks are closing
In - they’re circling me and
Grin - the smell of blood are driving all the creatures from the dark that want to get a piece of me
They’re singling me out
They’re circling around
Voice guides me further under water
Waves wash me over and don’t let go
Walk on the surface, through the tension
Voice fades away and gets weaker
Hold back your wolves
I can see the land
Call out your fiends
I’ve found the way
Swallow
The light
Between two oceans

Manifest Destiny

“Only I know what’s best for me”
Will be written on my tomb
“Me first.” tattooed on both wrists
Because you never came through
I’ve never been good with trusting someone
Believing the words before actual thoughts
Guarding myself from all things from within
Coming alive only with the brink of the dawn
Betrothed to loneliness from the very first date
I’ve been dying inside to live for one more day
Compliant to no one, obsessive too much
Don’t tread on me, threateningly or lightly
Only I
Know what’s best
Me first
Me first
Was I created to be lost from the start?
What was the purpose, the meaning behind?
Am I just fleeing from what I’ve become?
Resisting my destiny, it’s coming around

Slow Motion/Blue Light

All the thoughts that keep you up at night
All the fingers that creep around your throat
All the problems that future holds
All the words that have been said to hold you down
They’re coming up in my mind when I’m through
They’re reminding me of the things that I can’t do
They’re crowding in my head while I sleep
With the lights and open eyes
Praying for the answers
To the questions
That are slowing me down
Demons
In slow motion
Swaying
In half-shadows
Paralyzed
Mesmerised
In my sleep
Stuck too deep
Without fight
It holds me tight
In blue light
I will find
In blue light
A helping hand
I was hoping for you to come along
But I’ve forgotten the fact that you were at fault
I’ve been waiting for the moon to turn dark red
But It betrayed me just like you and stayed light blue
And I bled

I can’t seem find the way
The exit to a better world
It hurts
Possessed by my insecurities
Strangled down by time
I’m a coward for myself
Afraid to find the way
Let go your wishes
Let go your fears
Let go your dreams
Let down your friends
Becoming free is not easy
It takes your courage
But being a slave
It takes your life away
Shocked and appalled by
All the wasted time
Weathered out and washed away
By years gone by and wasted
Your life is gone and wasted
So don’t try to save your soul
There’s no such thing as soul
Don’t try to save your soul
There’s no such thing as soul
Don’t waste your time
You won’t have it back
Don’t waste my time
I want it back
