Original Sin of Man

I am real
You feel
My words as they slowly escape
The prison of my own mind
I've been gone for too long
The prison that I helped to make
And I want to belong
I fear myself in every word
I want to find what I am worth
A human that doesn't believe in himself
So why do I try and doubt myself?
I don't want to think about a single god damn thing
All I want to do is feel
Do I feel at all?
I feel every second now that I stopped trying to think
I could tell you the reason I went insane
A reason you would not believe
But I am back now
Yes I am back now
And no one could take from me myself
They say the final delusion is believing you have defeated all delusions for good
Well maybe I have
Cry with me in every word that we want to feel
Slowly finding the reason that we don't feel
Is because we think too much
We think too much
Bipolar by nature
Tomorrow I'll want to think again
Maybe I'm done with it
Nothing feels better than thinking you have to do everything and instead you just do it before you even think
You follow your instincts down this path way that leads you to where you want to go and there is no one to guide you there
The fear you feel inside of your heart is real
I could never take that
I could never bare it
I could never tear it from you
I could never spread a word without you

I
Collapse
Upon a dream of you
I resist and try to find you
I have lost all sense of who I was
I
Am alive
For one more time
Some things will never change
And some things will die
Some memories are made
While others will fade away into
The dark side of your mind
The moon
Has no home
It waits
For your return
And when you see
The words above
Do you want these words to change your mind
Or does your mind wait to be changed?
Returning part of you that fears your name
I want to feel
So I do
I want to think
So I do
I want to change
So I do
I want to scream so loud this microphone shatters
But the temptation to wake the neighbors
I just have to be myself for now
And Hide every flame that I set out to ignite
I don't have to worry about anything and feel okay
Am I okay to feel nothing at all
Could I stare at a wall and know that I am still myself
Do I have constantly have to hear
Do I have to constantly block out the thoughts
Just to feel sane?
Am I the reason why
I want to go insane?
What
What
What
What
What
Am
I
Running from?
The darkest lights
Don't shun away the nights
The dream I had is gone
And I am alright
And I am fine
I see you staring there at me
Trying to remember why I said the things I said
And What could they mean
But you don't see that I am insane enough
To move on?
I don't have to stay inside a single moment if I don't want to
So I am free!
I am free
I am free
I let go
Of the echoes
Join me here
Join me for something that is different
That can take you somewhere else
Let's find something else
Where no one can find us but ourselves
Why
Do I scream?
Why
Do I run into you?

One Fourty Manor

I'll tell you what I see
Sitting at a bus stop
I see myself trying to fight a demon
Trying to control me
And tell me that I'm not worth it
I'm not worth it
I should just give up
Constantly think about everything
Instead of trying to live my life
For exactly how I want to live
And when I cast doubt
I don't want to live
What's it mean to be yourself
Do you have to think to be yourself
Or do you have to let go of everything
Just to realize
That you feel alright?
That you feel alright
I dream when I think
When I dream when I think
I dream of nightmares
When I try to breathe
I try to stay here
I don't believe in anything
Except for what I see
I feel free
I feel in control
And that
That's alright enough for me
I feel okay
No matter what the chords may say
That I am in control of my self
No matter what I say
My mind is a liar
Who wants to consume everything
But I won't let him
The coward in the hearts
It's not who I set out to become
So I found myself
I found myself

And I am okay
With the problems I've had
Now that I am so removed from my
My suffering
And I see the reflection just clear
Now that the grey clouds are gone from the sky I can breathe
Now that I'm not working two jobs just to eat
Shitty food that tells me that I am not worth saving
I
I
Feel
Nothing today
At least that's usually what I would say
But I cleared my mind for the first time in such a long time
That I don't remember this freedom from myself
But now that I am okay
I want to breathe with every part of my veins
But when I try to think of what is truly happening inside
I lose sight of what is happening
I truly want to lose my mind
And I'm okay with that
At least for a moment to pass
When it has cleared away
I don't feel like the light could surpass it in any kind of way
I feel like creating a world
But I am just man
So I shut my mind down
For a moment
For a day
For a week
And finally for a year
Then a decade
Until I die away
A century will pass
And I won't pay any mind to you
And what are you going to do
As I walk by with a smile on my face
And as I'm dancing down the sidewalk as I see your face
Crumble into the misery that succumbs you now?
Will it ever change?
I can't ask you now that
That's for you to think about
But anyway
As I'm going down
I feel myself want to stand
The darkness could not collide upon me for too long before I recognize exactly what is happening
As it tries to consume me again
But I am gone
Inside of my heart
And I truly feel alive
Try to extinguish this spark
I dare you come find me
I'll tell you where I live
I'll look you in the eyes
As you try to tell me
That I have to think about everything
I will be just fine thinking of nothing
Not a single worry in the world
And nothing could haunt me
I am free
To be myself now
The master reigns over supreme
And the demons don't know how to escape their hell
So they can't follow me here
Hell
Is a manifestation of man's unsatiable desire for a place to live wicked
Inside of our minds
But the choice is yours
To let go or be confined
To learn to breathe inside a moment
And I am free
I am so lost
And I am happy
I fight for no cause
The banner I fly under it flows in the wind
And I'll keep on marching
I'll keep on marching this way forever
And I'll be free
The day that I die
But why should I have to die
To think that I am unfree?
Trying to convince me
Good luck
Good luck
GOOD LUCK BRO
That's all I'm saying
Is good luck

Don't
When I wake up
The scars will be gone
I want to climb a mountain
But my legs are both sadly broken
So pray to God to carry me up
He doesn't answer the way that I like
So I create my own pathway into the dark
If I could find my way back home on my own then I'll be alright
Hard to breathe
I want to be alright
I sit there and dream of some kind of new life
I stop trying to write songs for you
And start writing songs that could save me from myself
Sometimes beauty is simple
And sometimes grace is quiet
Sometimes to walk up a mountain
You have to lose sight
I don't want to see the top anymore
I don't wanna even know if I make it there at all
If I make it there
Will I be proud of myself
Will I be proud of myself
Or will I have left both sides again
Will I go insane just to prove that I am sane
One day you'll understand what I'm saying
You'll experience in your own way
The feelings of not being in control
And just having to let go of everything
But just being okay
With yourself
You don't have to worry about the doubts you feel in your heart
I will guide you along the way
And take you where you need to go
You're so close
Don't close your eyes now
Just remember son
The song that we sung
From our hearts
When we're old remember me
Time isn't slipping anymore
You are free

No Name

I told I would write an EP every single night
I kinda fell behind when I lost our mind
But now that I have found myself in darkness again
I find it much easier to find the light
With a smile on my face I will embark to you
To an island where I am alright
If I need the time to heal there isn't a single person that could take that from me
Do what's good for you and me
We are one in the same
You see
When I feel okay
I guide you into this cave
With intentions that there will be light on the other side waiting there for us
To take us further than we've ever been before
We want to find ourselves
But to be sure we have to lose our minds
When we did it was beautiful the first time
But this time I don't even give a fuck about what I found in darkness
It is like a black hole taking me
And it's taking control of every single thing that I do
And I don't believe in it
The darkness in my heart
And I just wanna feel what is beating on my heart
And I don't listen to it enough
When I do
When I find the tears dry up
That I feel

I don’t have to pay you a single thing to tell you how I feel
And I don't owe you anything about what I feel
I dream of you
And I dream of you
Do you
Do you dream of me?
