As time goes by in a blink of an eye
As a flame kept burning inside our minds
Like a beacon of light that had led us to this
Euphoric feeling from a shadow of eternal nothing
Rhythmic flashbacks and thoughts, a past suffered through
In a web inescapable, but I
Found it invisible
A world I knew .. Asleep
Unknown to me .. The distance
Beyond the scope.. And further
It was so clear.. To me
The objective
Lense of reality.. With your eyes
Can you see? .. Deeply
That hope is your anchor
And suddenly
It's easy to breath
The present is your expanse
To a cosmic end of suffering
We walked through hell to find it's meaning
Rose in flames, to have some feeling
From this wretched experience
We rose from impermanence
Our gaze turns to glass
Reflecting the now
Our souls start to pour
Into spring of life
Cut the chord of misery
Siphoning from a well fond of ignorance
If it's bliss
Then I loathe the emptiness
Deep down
The scars you hold beneath
Don't be ashamed
The path to truth
Starts with the question
Devoid of
All the answers
That plagues your mind
With doubt
Solemn and silent like the space between you
And the endless cycle you've been going through
Reach out and you'll touch the stars within
The promise inside you always held strong
Now you can see what was
Will always be
If you can see what's right
That you were never at fault
And that seasons change
The past can never be held onto

A vivid mind, void of prattle
The collective, left unmeddled
Mannequins with human faces
Their very thought has left my conscious
I've lived alone in the cracks of society
Diverged from the path of what cattle call reality
A system in my mind
I have lived this life
beckoned by my own
Views so distorted
I alone exist
You are meaningless
Merit nothingness
You are just an ant to a God complexion
Which part of me is left unburied
These toxic traits I always carry
I always struggle to understand
The way of thinking that aren't in my
Own head
I question every single day
To find any meaning beyond me
To reach the interconnected souls
SONDER
A gateway I am yet to breach
Solitude
A pathway wandered aimlessly
To find that everyone
Contemplates the struggle I could never comprehend
Which part of me is left unburied
These toxic traits I always carry
I always struggle to understand
The way of thinking that isn't mine
Hard to believe
Other's suffering
Instinctually
It just blew past me
And I'm a thief
That just drains
Emotions entrusted to me
It was my blindside
I could never feel anything
It was heard to perceive
The feelings felt around me
Damaged was I?
Or was I the damaging?
Did I exist
Alone to begin with?
It feels so wrong
when it felt I was always right
Causality
Isn't fiction, but a true state
In actuality
We're all the same
I am grieved by the fact I was always asleep
There's a link between
Something that binds us together
But I was missing something
I was caught up in my selfishness
It was hard to think
In my dividedness
I was grasping the snake
By it's fucking tail
And I got bit
I shared my venom
With everyone
Everything I held in esteem
So grandiose
Trapped inside
A perfect delusion
Imperfect as the world I was waking up from
Stretch my lies to a truth
Couldn't see point not in line with the cognitive madness
But I breathed in deep all of the self-deceit
Set in my ways, me and I alone
Set ablaze to rationality
Now I've learned
That the way to the soul
Is compassion

Loss is melancholy, bleeds into my thoughts
Memories I thought I've lost
Pain comes in different shades of rot
When you withered away
I trusted you to be the one who would never leave me behind
But it was just a dream I could never wake up from
Grief is a slow poison
And it festers
You lived in silence not healing your scars
How was I to know you were falling apart
And in your stillness, I was too late
I refused to let go, I am at fault
I would do anything just to see you again
But I see you're at peace
No longer living in disease
Was it too much?
The weight to carry on to the grave
There's only so much that
I could say before you reach the end
I know
You couldn't do it all over again
So here I am
Wasting my time on what I cannot change
But I'll honor the memory
Of someone who changed me for the better
You opened my views
And it goes to show
There is no point
Overthinking what I do not know
I'll carry the purpose
You have left for me
In hindsight
I never opened up
To anyone
This pain was for naught
But I've broken every habit
Every turn of the cycle
And learned from your legacy
And share the words we left unsaid
And when it's done
We'll wait for time to
Eviscerate the pain
Imprinted on my mind
Time with you I would say
One of a kind
The thought of you
Has always stayed
So close to my heart
You helped me to make amends
You made me realize that death is not the end

This is no future for me
I am tired of living this fate
No surface to where I can escape
Or so it feels
when I am trapped inside this place
I am done...
Living a lie to make ends meet
I despise
The weight of corporatocracy
Giving my all for a solid nothing
I am more than you give me credit for
And I'm done pretending
Inside, it's like a total meltdown
Behind, the man I am to become
I am the sole progenitor of my own future
And I am the one who's
Stretched between two paths
Making this life worth the one to last
My conviction and my vision
Won't be forced down a narrow line
Hoping to break the cycle of nonsensical deceiving non-belief
I have awakened myself
To the truth
Triumph isn't easy, but I believe
Nothing this real can come easily
Pacing too heavy every day
Moving towards something that actualizes my fate
Something that defines me
I can see the silhouette manifesting in front of me
I will leave behind a future that damned my crossing
There's no way I am turning back
Into this spiral of nothingness
I will make it happen even if it kills me
Break down the doubt
It is something I have to live without
What is a life worth when it's sold
Not all the gold in this world can buy all the time I've wasted
You aren't true to yourself until you are self-made
Inside, it's like a total meltdown
Behind, the man I am to become
The path was bleak before I opened my eyes
Now I can see
This is another mountain I have to climb
I will claw my way to the top
No matter what it takes!
I will find a way
Out of the darkness and breath
I can't give anymore to this
This is the way
I have come to learn myself
Passion trumps slavery in my eyes
All that's left is just to try
Left all delusions that I have to fail this life
I am complete doing what I love
What I held onto since I was young
What I am, until I am nothing
To become the man
I know I am

The blessing of creation
The cycle DEIFIED
NEVER ODD OR EVEN
The EVE..
Of life is a narrow compromise
Objectively seen with the ROTATE of the EYE
A glimpse of the present resonates
Deeply within each cycle
REDDER the unsure nature of disease
Sutured with cosmic vision
A TENET of balance can be procured
Realize life and death is one and the same
Open the gates of your mind
Perception is one of the keys to this life
Experience the joy in this strife
The race to the end, is no way to begin
Pace yourself, don't become a victim of the onset
Nothingness, a product of ideal misplacement
Nothing can be done if you don't live in the present
The past and the future of no discernment
The NOON of our lives have plagiarized
The meaning of everything we've come to understand as truth
Suffering, the imbalance holding on too close
Internally, find your peace
The depths, have never been so clear
The LEVEL of the scales must be maintained
Whatever was, can never be again
Everything started in a blurry haze
As we fell into the future
Knowledge came in the form of my mistakes
Everything became clear when I let go
What mattered to me
The words "death is not empty"
Internally, find your peace
The depths, have never been so clear
The LEVEL of the scales must be maintained
Whatever was, can never be again
The tranquility found in me
I finally calmed the seas
