Overthinking 04:39
Lifeless! Pain, and! Regret! All I feel! Cigarettes! Destress! Repress! This is what's on my mind! Of course, I've never been who I want to be, I never had time to get back to re-constructing me, Let's dive in deeper into the source In the back of my mind, I hear there's a cry, "Perfection" Yet it's disguised, An enemy inside the canvas, Trying to seige, Trying to breach the walls I built, Nothing is real, nothing is good, P-p-p-p-patiently waiting the day that I can fix this, Anxiety breaking me down, I need a quick fix, Im smoking, im burning, im heated like a forest, Is there any hope for me, god? So here I wait, With bated breath, Hoping to find an answer to, Everything that I dont know, Going 60 miles per hour here, Im gone! Haven't heard a single word you said, Im trapped inside this complicated brain, Trying to break free from these chains, I havent left the labyrinth With the weight of every burden, Every motion that I make, Is like a constant wheel that's turning, Screaming all of my mistakes, Its mixing fire with the alcohol, To permeate the flames, And it's killing me that I can never seem to make it go away, I'm sick of all the feelings that are flowing through my mind, I'm sick and tired of the words that tell me I should fuckin die, And that there's nothing I can do and that I'll never be alright, Light the cigarette and cry, Give up and don't try, You're not alive Now you all, Feel my pain! Day after day I spend pacing, Leaving this world to something more amazing, With every step I take, I drink the poison, Drinking it down till nothings left in, Just one more drink, Just one more step, Just one more taste, Of a life I yearn, No surprise, it's my demise Lifeless! Pain, and! Regret! All I feel! Cigarettes! Destress! Repress! This is what's on my mind! So here I wait, With bated breath, Hoping to find an answer to, Why I am the way I am, This god damn curse, This god damn curse, Has left me scared, Awaiting the day it will end my life, Why can't I break free from this strife, Still trapped inside this labyrinth, Where is god, Why has he left me here to battle a crusade, Against an enemy that has no body yet it follows me, Its like a shadow on the wall, Or like a shark inside the sea, It's a predator predating everything that we have ever lived, I feel it getting stronger, Crawling deep inside my mind, And yet my body fails to fight it, Like a fuckin parasite, I am nothing, I am no one, I will never be alright, Light the cigarette and cry, Give up and don't try, You're not alive Now you all, Feel my pain

Tarnished 03:05
You’re the one that’s chosen To climb and take the throne then, Vanquish all your foes and, Conquer all the known lands. Open your mind then you can Seize this new horizon, With a blade of fire, For you are only tarnished. The bonding and the breaking, The souls there for the taking. The runes that give you strength, To leave mere mortals shaking. The bonding and the breaking, The souls there for the taking, The Elden ring is mine, You’re never gonna make it. I'm roaming the lands between Both demons and gods will kneel. No matter how much I die, Foolish ambition survives. You’re the one that’s chosen To climb and take the throne then, Vanquish all your foes and, Conquer all the known lands. Open your mind then you can Seize this new horizon, With a blade of fire, For you are only tarnished. The bonding and the breaking, The souls there for the taking. The runes that give you strength, To leave mere mortals shaking. The bonding and the breaking, The souls there for the taking, The Elden ring is mine, You’re never gonna make it. I'm roaming the lands between Both demons and gods will kneel. No matter how much I die, Foolish ambition survives. Burning down the erdtree is a small task for the likes of me. Killing giants just for thrills, Has never mattered much you see? Destined death could never stop me from destroying all he knows. Godrey even came back, So I smacked him off his royal throne. You know you’re feeling the fear, You know you’re feeling defeat. You know you’re feeling my balls, You’re on the edge of your seat. now the temperature’s rising. Soon you’re feeling the heat. Is that the sound of you dying? Or is this song just complete?

I, I've made up my mistakes When you push me to the break I, reminisce My failure Welcome to the lab Where I just make up shit And it bangs No need be afraid I won't hurt you This is the last stage Inside me It's hard to say that I have nothing left I try every day to Wake up and be someone I cannot fathom Everyone gets to live great I'm stuck in this horrible state In my room Where I reign Where I reign Welcome to my castle Where I breakdown every day You're not welcome In my castle It's for me So please just stay away Fuck you all!

Take your longing lasting breath for me While I become the thing you hold Accountable a cannibal You skins so tasty even cold Tonight's the night I say before I claim my victim slice their bones You'll never get away from me This is a classic story Where there's no winners in the end Except for me I like the feast the hunt the kill It brings me ever lasting grandeur Where there's no winners in the end It's time to eat It's time To split the beak Remove the head from this carcass The blood will drain down below And you may think somethings wrong with me Can't hide the lies behind your teeth Cause I've Been digging into your gums And you really need to floss You'll never get away from me This is a classic story Where there's no winners in the end Except for me I like the feast the hunt the kill It brings me ever lasting grandeur Where there's no winners in the end It's time to eat It's time The cops are on my trail Must've smelled the feast I built Well, they can't have what is mine The pigs can be my meal Hunt them down like those I've killed Well, what's one more little crime You'll never get away from me This is a classic story Where there's no winners in the end Except for me I like the feast the hunt the kill It brings me ever lasting grandeur Where there's no winners in the end It's time to eat It's time

Someday 03:24
Darkness, taking hold of me, my darling. How long will it be, till i see you someday. A flash, and then it's gone, Our time together The joy that you've given me Could not be replaced. You were my child. You opened my eyes You've shown me in this moment the meaning of life. and when you fall. I'll pick up you up to raise you higher than the heavens above. and when i sleep, you'll be in my dreams forever eternal you are within me Soon i will wake, then we will take, back all the moments, fix the mistakes. Maybe, someday. Heaven beckons you home. I know that you'll soon have to leave. If only I did have the strength, the way that you did.
