Embers Gathering
At night Mappings of future desire keeping you awake Far underneath, rock and dirt lays you and all your fate So rise, set sail in the sun Let reason behind every wave that drifts you away Moments left wondering, Can be the momentum that gets you there Days past will cling like a shadow To every step of this road You must search for your true sunlight Create it all on your own I am becoming the engineer, the creator of my structures mold The captain on this organic ship of flesh, blood and bone. We sink low to hurt least when we fall Never think those who fly high stand tallest If you're scared to touch the sun It's much safer on the ground for most Get up, get out From this daze and blank stare Moments left wondering can be the momentum that gets you there You must search for your true sunlight Create it all on your own The division between honesty and fulfillment is you and yourself alone We fly low to hurt least when we fall But never think those who fly high stand tall I am becoming the engineer, the creator We fly low to hurt least when we fall But never think those who fly high stand tall I am becoming the engineer, the creator I am becoming the engineer, the creator of my structures mold The captain on this organic ship

Sense a condition emerging a change in personality Routine thoughts begin to be replaced By a growing change in my demeanor Previous thoughts of positivity A once familiar set of disposition Is starting to fade away from me And become replaced with a new Set of disposition in which I live With feelings of bitter fruition Cynical thoughts begin to unfold Molding me into a new person I have now formed a new perspective that's driven to criticize Roaming through life on a cynical tangent Always finding faults around me This way of life is eating at me With every passing day I feel myself deteriorating I can start to feel resentment From the ones who have stayed close around me They're observing my own descent And are starting to keep a distance from me Stupid But I also feel resentment Towards myself, this removed being I've become Is this the way Stupid: it shall now be? A callous soul trapped in their misery? Cold days waste away As I grow astray Cold days waste away I still feel the same As I grow astray Cold days waste away As I grow astray Cynical thoughts begin to unfold Molding me into a new person I have now formed a new perspective that's driven to criticize Roaming through life on a cynical tangent Always finding faults around me Cynical thoughts begin to unfold My mind falters, Losing its grip Of all positivity Surrounding me, I feel the need to quit My mind has grown so tired from years of dealing with this I accept my home in the bottomless pit Cold days waste away I still feel the same As I grow astray Stuck in my ways With no way out of This hellish game I play Cold days waste away I still feel the same As I grow astray Cold days waste away As I grow astray

Waves from the never ending flame Feeling the scourge against my skin Now resistant to this burn The town on fire I go running straight back in Is it to save the children? Or to save the love? One shall go unnoticed, and the other surely to erode To save the children To save the love Can this be it? Can this be? Not tonight... This can be it? This could be... Not tomorrow Daylight cracks the sky as the night slowly dissolves into the mending, I wish too This massacre will be softly blended into forgiveness Just one immaculate portrait Of blood and pastels Smeared across the canvas of the years An original peace for peace of tears. Darkness arrives again in the distance And the sun suffers through all this cloudy punishment We the gods are a fickle tic unrepentant Do you have the stomach to digest any of this? Waves from the never ending flame Feeling the scourge against my skin Now resistant to this burn The town on fire I go running straight back in Today... can this be it? I go running back in To save the children? To save the love? A creature standing in this shadow's past A monster as it dwells on our secrets back One reaches in hoping to pull this dagger out, but the damage is severe The wound will not begin to heal and wonât disappear. The darkness draws near no longer distant, cloudier than any days envisioned. No hope for offspring to realize full potential when the only offering for upbringing is the hellhole called Earth. We are all the captain of our own ship, but what's the point of going against the current of destiny? The waters don't flow, winds have seized to blow and the fuel tank is empty Do you have the stomach to digest any of this? And the sun suffers through all this cloudy punishment We the gods are a fickle tic unrepentant Do you have the stomach to digest any of this? The scourge is to save the children? Or to save the love? One shall go unnoticed, and the other surely to erode

Revivify A gracious time to hold a crystal full of spirits Now gather around familiar flame and tale Wounded, But not out for good and slowly inching towards the light Deserted to dwell in this cave A warrior and I will not give up this fight Pain is created within yourself A lesson exponentially hard to learn through trust. Here Waiting for blood to flow in my feet I must try again Waited all these years to find I'm the first to be too late So stand by now or stand down Watch me open up and tear out Drawing near to the closing I am hopefully beginning to understand Stand by or stand down Open up and tear out A gracious time to hold a crystal full of spirits Now gather around familiar flames and tale Something of value alas Thousands of days, millions of seconds have past But now I'm worth it Before, I never deserved and from the pus I awoke Given a name with no direction. Given a name with no direction Stitching my own wounds shut A needle, just I alone This must help Recover all the ground lost Now in strife, endure this blood loss What does and has not killed me Smolders and makes me stronger Endless lessons learned in the toughest ways Skin like stone continues to harden Time to wash the dirt from these hands And feel clean again Time to wash the dirt from these hands And feel clean again Revivify Stand by or stand down Wounded, But not out for good and slowly inching towards the light Deserted to dwell in this cave A warrior and I will not give up this fight Pain is created within yourself A lesson exponentially hard to learn through trust. Here waiting for blood To flow in my feet I must try again Waited all these years to find I'm the first to be too late Wounded, not killed Injured en route to the destination, We keep pushing Far beyond the realm of complacency We were made to be so much more than you allow your eyes to see.

Sift through the eyes to determine the design of the terror in the night, a gaze As One Thousand Hands pull you in Vague enlightened feelings In the darkness softly dreaming It's overwhelming, now infatuating, such distinct meaning, but I will not devour at its will. Now awaiting this journey, legs aren't steady Am I ready? These One Thousand Hands are pulling me in, a shadowing stature Familiar places I've never been This is a code I must decipher again Imposters and their malicious intentions This is a code I must decipher again, imposters and their malicious intentions Who even knows what they are wanting from me? Far from safe, feeling the need to flee Now I can feel them and it is in the air I can feel their presence even when they're not here My eyes emulate morose fabrications Cunning like a nightmare, one just for the books All of ones hate and fear wrapped up in a suit of skin Now walks along, side by side with you and I Running jagged fingers down what's left of my spine Feeling all around me and now I can't open my eyes Who even knows what they are wanting from me? Feeling far from safe, feeling a need to flee Now I can feel them and it is in the air I can feel their presence when they are not here... They're entering from the front of my dreams Just a walk in the door without the slightest welcome Making their way into my darkened room Try not make a sound and lose my breath too soon I can't move a muscle, and they're wanting their way I can't budge from this icy grip upon me Emerging from the cracks, a vile beast My creation Hunger for self-destruction and a thirst for manipulation Made of smog and flame, and now it's approaching Draws its claws and fangs Enters my living dream Emerging from the cracks, a vile beast My creation Hunger for self-destruction and a thirst for manipulation Made of smog and flame, and now it's approaching Draws its claws and it's fangs Enters my living dream It's now It's now me It's now It's now me! Sift through the eyes to determine that the design of the terror in the night, a gaze As One Thousand Hands pull you in Now awaiting this journey, legs aren't steady Am I ready? These one thousand hands are pulling me in, a shadowing stature Familiar places I've never been This is a code I must decipher again Running jagged fingers down what's left of my spine Feeling all around me and now, I can't open my eyes Open my eyes Running jagged fingers down what's left of my spine and now I can't open my eyes But I will not devour at its will.
