Alone 01:35
I’ve already lost sight of the depths as I’m only half conscious, slowly sinking in Reaching to bottom of the bottle as I turn half-full into half-empty This is where it starts - every damn time - This is how it ends The flame starts to flicker Please hold my hand real tight, don’t let me drift into the grey again I know you can’t see but there are eyes in every corner, patiently awaiting ’til my strength to fight drops Don’t leave me alone with myself, please don’t Don’t flip the lights off, please don’t close the door Don’t leave me on my own, please don’t Don’t let the darkness crawl underneath my skin This is where it starts - every damn time - This is how it ends The flame is dying out

Vulture 01:08
Vulture, drawing circles above my head, Waiting for me to weaken to peck the flesh off my bones Vulture, I feel the wind from it's wings, I try to keep up straight but my head starts to swing Vulture, I'm bluffing I'm not losing strength but my trembling knees refuse to play the game Vulture, take me under your wing, Peck the flesh off my bones, give me your feathers for my skin Vulture, have your ways with me Trade your feathers for my skin

Trapped 03:02
When you speak to me, be aware that I’m not there I’m still alive, but only to breathe I’m trapped (with myself) Like a prisoner of war that’s raging on inside my head - Me against myself - living in a constant tension Release me from “me”, Release me from myself While every night when I sleep I dream of dying For I am truly blind for the cause of being alive I’ve felt detached from who I chose to be Ever since I’ve buried who I used to be I’m trapped, I’m trapped But is it me? I think it’s me. I think I’ve turned myself into worst version of ‘me’ Now every night when I sleep I dream of dying

Coffin 02:25
I've dug a hole to hide it from the earth But as I shiver you reach the surface again I hear your nails scratching on the coffin, Fed from my despair, growing louder every minute 'Guess that you were never dead but most likely on stand-by Playing along, luring over the edge, awaiting to expose yourself 'Guess I should have been digging, digging so much deeper Now that I can still hear you sing I should have buried "me" deeper What do I need to kill myself? Bury "me" deeper The darker half is reviving
5.
Theatre 02:29
My hands are shaking as I hold this pen, full of angst I'm just scared to write this down, but terrified to scream this out loud When my thoughts roll off my tongue, I can not take them back But the moment I choose to discard, I'm just lying to myself I'm not the man I intended to be - No - Sometimes I forget we all wear masks, For the lines have been drawn where in-between we must balance The paths we walk are approved through an open script The world's your stage, kid Knock 'em dead, knock 'em dead, kid But when the curtain falls and the stage light dims, nothings left but an empty room So are we both characters, forced to take part in this lifelong play? The flower; the flame; the hammer; the curse They're inside my head and I need all to endure When one polar's missing there's no push nor a pull And I'm the ruler when for when they shine through So I’ll just quit concealing it with pity poetry and metaphors and say it like it is: Everything bad that ever happened to me was my own fucking fault.
