Split Mind
Its hard for me to understand
The truth or my destiny
I continue to think
My mind is my recipe
But torn between two sides
Never truly whole
Like two personalities
But interlinking souls
I'm a mystery
Even to myself
Unsure of who I am
Unsure of what will help
I get lost in the meaning
I struggle just to live
Alone in my thoughts
I'm alone on a grid
Wishing for purpose
I look for direction
Needing some answers
This test, one correction
Locked in a safe ...

Alone in my thoughts

Drown
So many questions we ask
But no answers are found
Suggesting the task
But nothings around
Compressing the trash
Can't hear a sound
Forgotten the facts
And lost underground
I'm checking the past
The truth that I'm bound
My loneliest path
Underneath i will drown
The fish I will catch
The Cerberus hound
The bright fiery blast
This hell is my town
I light up the match
The king has been crowned
Now burnt straight to ash
The holiest mound
The light won't attach ...
But no answers are found
Suggesting the task
But nothings around
Compressing the trash
Can't hear a sound
Forgotten the facts
And lost underground
I'm checking the past
The truth that I'm bound
My loneliest path
Underneath i will drown
The fish I will catch
The Cerberus hound
The bright fiery blast
This hell is my town
I light up the match
The king has been crowned
Now burnt straight to ash
The holiest mound
The light won't attach ...

Shackles
Fear has always chained me
To a wall of self doubt
I have tried to escape
But my mind won't allow
Shackles around my soul
As I try to awaken
From the deepest darkness
The demons awaiting
Watching my failures
The mistakes I have made
Hope for a second chance
As my time seems to fade
My hope locked in a box
With no key to open
My memories replay
All the good ones broken
Stuck on an endless road
No other path appears
The car runs out of gas
No single place is near ...
To a wall of self doubt
I have tried to escape
But my mind won't allow
Shackles around my soul
As I try to awaken
From the deepest darkness
The demons awaiting
Watching my failures
The mistakes I have made
Hope for a second chance
As my time seems to fade
My hope locked in a box
With no key to open
My memories replay
All the good ones broken
Stuck on an endless road
No other path appears
The car runs out of gas
No single place is near ...

Tired
I'm tired of feeling the same way
No revision to my story
A fate worse than death
Is the same old inventory
If you aren't moving forward
Then you'll get lost in the tide
Stuck in the present
Without a way to hide
Alone but yet surrounded
Loved but left behind
Only thing thats there
Are the fallen remnants of time
I wish I could change the past
Flip fate into a new card
Piece together my mind
As we find the fallen shard
I try to create a flame
That is eternal in my heart ...

Grow
I'm always fighting these demons
Its hard for me to let go
Even when I break through the barrier
The pain inside will grow
I've tried to work it out
On who I'm meant to be
Dreaming of a brand new day
Hoping that I find my destiny
Lonely nights as I lay awake
Wishing for a way through the storm
My heart just seems to break apart
And my soul is simply torn
I'm always fighting these demons
Its hard for me to let go
Even when I break the barrier
The pain inside will grow
I've tried to work...
Its hard for me to let go
Even when I break through the barrier
The pain inside will grow
I've tried to work it out
On who I'm meant to be
Dreaming of a brand new day
Hoping that I find my destiny
Lonely nights as I lay awake
Wishing for a way through the storm
My heart just seems to break apart
And my soul is simply torn
I'm always fighting these demons
Its hard for me to let go
Even when I break the barrier
The pain inside will grow
I've tried to work...

Pain
I feel like absolute shit
Constant ringing in my head
I'm losing my mind
Not much more can be said
I feel like I'm dying
I'm losing all hope
I can't seem to sleep
No way for me to cope
I wish for peace
For the end of my life
For quiet to be found
To find a simple light
I'm depressed and alone
And I'm afraid I'm falling apart
Struggling to feel my own head
I'm losing my soul and my heart
Its hard for me to write
For me to tell my tale
For it hurts to be alive
My mind is...
Constant ringing in my head
I'm losing my mind
Not much more can be said
I feel like I'm dying
I'm losing all hope
I can't seem to sleep
No way for me to cope
I wish for peace
For the end of my life
For quiet to be found
To find a simple light
I'm depressed and alone
And I'm afraid I'm falling apart
Struggling to feel my own head
I'm losing my soul and my heart
Its hard for me to write
For me to tell my tale
For it hurts to be alive
My mind is...

Political
Trying to keep people apart
Dividing the black and the white
Making us hate each other
Explaining what's wrong and what's right
When in reality, we are similar
We all got a lot of issues
Personal shit we can't explain
We all have our miscues
You are either red or blue
Told that you are racist or crazy
That you either love others
And that your mind is getting hazy
Grouping one into all
Trying to scare us into hatred
Giving all the evil news
And what they give is so sacred
All we see is...
Dividing the black and the white
Making us hate each other
Explaining what's wrong and what's right
When in reality, we are similar
We all got a lot of issues
Personal shit we can't explain
We all have our miscues
You are either red or blue
Told that you are racist or crazy
That you either love others
And that your mind is getting hazy
Grouping one into all
Trying to scare us into hatred
Giving all the evil news
And what they give is so sacred
All we see is...

Questioning myself
I question my purpose
My life i seem to lead
I try to vanquish the darkness
And try to plant a seed
But when you don't believe
Or understand who you are
Trying to be a better man
But not knowing where to start
So I write words and feelings
Upon this simple page
To let my thoughts out
I open the cage
Trapped in my own head
Lost in an endless maze
Trying to go to sleep
As I hope and I pray
That I can find my own destiny
That I can begin
My journey toward the path
Of...
My life i seem to lead

Upon this simple page
To let my thoughts out
I open the cage
Trapped in my own head
Lost in an endless maze
Trying to go to sleep

That I can find my own destiny
That I can begin
My journey toward the path

Divide
I get a premonition
My dreams come to fruition
Call it intuition
I'm filled with ammunition
On a main mission
I get into position
Gave an imposition
I'm fighting my apparition
All the opposition
I make a proposition
To start this expedition
To begin the ignition
Everyone's a politician
The singing musician
The genius mathematician
The card playing magician
Not in juxtaposition
You need ones permission
Hard to find ambition
When you go into remission
...

Control
A voice beckons me forward
Towards a sea of darkness
Heartless I fall below
As I can't control or seem to harness
The carcass of my mind
Can't find peace from within
I begin my search beneath
I release in the wind
I ascend through the storm
Sworn to break my own cage
Enraged I fall deeper
Steeper, alone in this cave
Afraid ill be long gone
This song is unheard
One word is all it takes
I break beyond the herd
Lines blurred curtains drawn
Dawn falls upon the shadow
A battle...
Towards a sea of darkness
Heartless I fall below
As I can't control or seem to harness
The carcass of my mind
Can't find peace from within
I begin my search beneath
I release in the wind
I ascend through the storm
Sworn to break my own cage
Enraged I fall deeper
Steeper, alone in this cave
Afraid ill be long gone
This song is unheard
One word is all it takes
I break beyond the herd
Lines blurred curtains drawn
Dawn falls upon the shadow
A battle...

Broken Pieces
I can't think of anything happy
Always felt alone
Even when loved by a few
I was always trapped in stone
Hated myself and my demons
Tore myself completely apart
Couldn't ever be reached
Lost my soul, can't mend my heart
My father was never there
And when he was, he scared us all
If I'm a demon, he was the devil
I always seemed to fall
We all have our pain
But some don't allow it to break the sky
I was angry and felt betrayed
I was hurt but couldn't cry
The mountains on my back ...
Always felt alone
Even when loved by a few
I was always trapped in stone
Hated myself and my demons
Tore myself completely apart
Couldn't ever be reached
Lost my soul, can't mend my heart
My father was never there
And when he was, he scared us all
If I'm a demon, he was the devil
I always seemed to fall
We all have our pain
But some don't allow it to break the sky
I was angry and felt betrayed
I was hurt but couldn't cry
The mountains on my back ...
