The hollow void: a memory.
A photograph of you and me.
Once worth a thousand words, but now there’s nothing
but emptiness — I’m left ashamed.
You’ve missed your chance to point the blame.
Once worth a thousand words, but now there’s nothing.
Despite the seasons flowing, your words still remain.
Forever resonating, a constant ringing in my brain.
Endured the chill of winter in hope for a greener spring.
They’re echoing so loudly, in my head I hear you scream.
Despite the seasons flowing, your words still remain.
They’re ringing in my brain.
Ripped to shreds by everything that was said, but I will find a way to put myself together again.
A proud, tall evergreen — now charred to black by the disease.
I saw a change in me like leaves in October,
but nothing really lasts forever, now you’re just a ghost.
Endured the chill of winter in hope for a greener spring.
I still hear you scream.
An open door comes slamming closed, the burn of hatred predisposed.
Once worth a thousand words, but now there’s nothing.

Far From Super Happy
03:16
|
|||
New rumors have been spreading,
manifesting such brash disputes.
The bond that we’ve shared has slipped away.
You’ve always held a perfect harmony,
but your notes have changed.
Struggled to find a cause for it all but you’re not the same.
The thought of hurting you makes me want to die.
I couldn’t lay a finger on you
with this love still burning inside.
I don’t want to do this — don’t forget I cared.
Searching for resolution, but there was nothing there.
This is far from super happy.
You're not the same.

Five Seven Six

Breathing in.
Release.
Hold it, hold it...
and let it go.
Broken by the insecurity and
giving in to its embrace.
I’ve watched it fall away so imperfectly.
No rest for a fractured mind.
A cold and faded goodbye,
a farewell to my youth — the sorrow defined.
No rest for a fractured mind.
A cold and faded goodbye,
absent of resolution of what was left behind.
I’ve made friends with the situation.
Now the answer rides shotgun with me
back to the places where I’ve once felt free.
Breathing in.
Hold it, hold it...
choke.
And now we ask ourselves “would it be easier”?
We see so clear, yet blurred and stained.
I just want to dream again.
Please let me stay asleep.

In Spite
02:56
|

There was no reassurance within my words that night,
just scarlet palms and bold-faced lies.
I can see you hate me and it's easy to see why.
The guilt tears at my insides.
Deep within the soul of what had used to be.
The years have passed us by,
but time remembers everything.
I could never blame you for pushing it away.
In spite — alone and ashamed.
It's far too late for this to change now.
A life left in ruin, burning to the ground.
One thousand lines of script spoken without sound.
The memory repressed comes fading back again,
but some words are better left unsaid.
I see you hate me, it's easy to see why.
Scarlet palms and bold-faced lies.
Silent in your suffering.
Time remembers everything.
A life left in ruin, burning to the ground.
But it's far too late for this to change now.
I can see you hate me and it's easy to see why.
The guilt tears at my insides.
Some words are better left unsaid.

Porcine Menace
01:57
|

A porcine menace has arrived to come destroy our paradise.
The solution stands alone — a motorized cure.
Through the water, land, and air
we prove that we will persevere.
With speed on our side,
we are destined to prevail.
Harsh, frigid winds of winter.
Air salted by the sea.
Star riddled galaxies are not enough to keep you from me.
Victory sits within our grasp,
ten friends will take this island back.

Interlude II: So Below

Following you.
Fast.
Watch yourself.
Torn.

I’m headed southbound, my soul is headed for the sea.
Destined to be nothing more than a faded memory.
I’m never coming home, strange tides have sent me adrift.
You have abandoned hope.
I have abandoned ship.
One final farewell — one last attempt towards finding bliss.
If paradise does not exist, then I‘ll make my own.
On foreign shores, please just take me far away.
I’ll be the one worth missing when I’m gone.
If love is what I need, then let it take me far away.
Forgive me or forget me, whichever hurts the least.
I’m headed southbound, my soul is headed for the sea.

Montresor

There really is no place like home.
My metaphorical prison of flesh and stone
is a sordid reminder of my darkest days
that has fed itself and flickered away
the
light inside my eyes.
There is a gloom that blinds my sight
and makes way for the terrors of the night.
I’ve given everything
in spite of all this suffering.
There’s got to be a better way
than watching me go down in flames.
Death breathes life into new beginnings.
We must die to keep on living.
The boy you knew is rotting — dead and gone.
I’ve given everything
in spite of all this suffering.
There’s got to be a better way.
This solitude will surely
bring the end of me.
There’s got to be a better way
than watching me go down in flames.
A sordid reminder of my darkest days
has fed itself and flickered away
the light.
There is a gloom that blinds my sight
and makes way for the terrors of the night.
There really is no place like home.
