Pitfalls
At my peak I turn weak I end up losing hope In my grief A relief I end up losing hope At the dawn where I began With a goal and a simple plan Started walking towards this day Seeking refuge for my soul In this empire I control Full of confidence I've made my way On my patch, a desire died Getting bent and set aside By the bitter fight to survive Looking back on my every sin Thinking of what could have been I carry onward, feeling alive Made it to where I am today This is where I wanna stay Still, I feel like I fade away Feeling like it all falls down Out of sync In my mind What I find As I search every code I lose hope On my own I atone For the plan I once wrote I lose hope Undermining the state I'm in Losing hope when I'm bound to win Taking cover to hide from shame Getting lost with my disguise Unable to open my eyes Surrender a winning game Fly away Turn around Stay At my peak I turn weak I end up losing hope

Quieting the inner voice Do not reject But keep on breathing Observe the train Then see it leaving Breathe in Breathe out Release Let it all out Simplicity of being here Without attachment The senses are freewheeling Allow the body to receive it Acceptance is the treatment Breathe in Breathe out Release Let it all out Don't force it The goal is not to feel electrical Angelical Let it flow The change won't be radical It's gradual Never let it get to you Just start again And keep on breathing Inhale, exhale Breathing Go where it's leading Breathe in Breathe out Release Let it all out

In the spring Uncovering Painful edges Lingering Natural pace Finding its place Natural pace By my throne A stone Rough and raw On its own Once revealed My cave Won't be taken By the wave I would face an empty void Insecure and paranoid Hopeless fight Out of sight Wrong direction When I'm right Worn and beaten Curved by the tide Calm rock by my side It will be bruised It will get tough Might be hidden Might get lost Never hard to find Never left behind I can let my sorrows die I can let my vision fly Always there Still on guard Got my back With no regard Got my back With no regard

Flickering fire A thirsty flame Burning whispers Repeating my name A dying reminder Igniting my worst Leading me down To an explosive burst Like a candle out of time When the wick is burning out Leaving tension to a final hope I have been here before, and I have grown With the thoughts I can free when I'm alone When I'm At the bottom, right at the bottom Where I grasp for a handle At the bottom Where I shine as bright as I can I wanna let it out I'm gonna let it out Seeking conclusion Unstable spark Ready to leave This welcoming dark Taming the chaos Inverted pain Forging a key to unlock my chain Freeing myself from the destructive reign Back to where I once became Stranded in the uncharted Will I ever be the same? Like the departed I have started To find my inner strength again

My congregation is in flames I can't seem to find my aim Complete lack of logic sense Still strapped within my own fence Feel just like a knucklehead Just can't realize what's left I've had enough of this façade Time to surpass once and for all It's a fight to stay alive For my light has gone missing It's a fight to stay alive It's a fight against myself It's a fight to stay alive It's a fight against my imaginary harm It's a fight to stay alive It's a fight against myself Became a foreigner in my own head My sword is double-edged Might have to put away my sledge

The sky is red again Uncontrollable impulses coming my way Stripped of all logic sense My head feels so dense Falling down an endless shaft Submission, giving way at last Feeling shot and depraved The rage is all that's left Is there any chance of recreation? Of what I used to be A wire Around my sanity Fire Is the only force inside me A wire Applying pressure on me Fire Only feeling left inside me Trapped inside the flames With no chance of escape My own little parallel universe
