Nobody cares when prophecy fails
They’re just hoping to find a good reason to die
Are those bonds solidified?
I don’t think it’s meant to be
More than a gesture, or wishful thinking
To join together - join up and sink
Under the weight of shared suffering
When will I finally realize
That hope is unkind?
And that searching for a reason
Is a waste of fucking time
I feel myself recede
Is this the way it’s meant to be?
I refuse all this pain
I can’t internalize everything
I can’t internalize everything
But I can’t look away
What good does it do to you
To look on in sickness
To observe as the world burns
To act as a witness?
When will I finally realize
That hope is unkind?
And that searching for a reason
Is a waste of fucking time
I feel myself recede
Is this the way it’s meant to be?
I refuse all this pain
I can’t internalize everything
I keep holding this suffering
To reach our shared humanity
It’s all I fucking have
I can’t remove myself
I’ve held this pain inside of me
For you it’s all I have to share
But is there something more?
Just in a better world?
Not yet

Fallacy

I can no longer bear witness
I need to remove myself
I can no longer bear witness
I’m spiraling just trying to connect
Bringing myself back to
A place I knew before
A familiar feeling
A recurring discontent
& frustration aside
It’s in my nature to hide
To retreat into my grief
And just subside
A spectator just passing by
I’m angry enough
Without constant reminders
Of the consequences
Of my fucking actions
I’m so unsure of how to connect
I am flawed and I’m wrecked with regret
And I’ve abandoned so much of myself
And I’m left in the wake of the sunken cost
Of familial trauma left unresolved
And when I fail I’ll fail myself
I’ll hold this pain until it breaks me
It just goes to show that what I know is never in doubt
That when I go I’ll go alone and burn out

Oblivion
03:15

|
Sometimes it feels like it’s too late
No solution for this I can’t change
No relief
No prior warning
Before we’re born
For what we’re meant to endure
But what’s the purpose
What’s at stake
If we are playing
A losing game
And I march slow
With nothing to hold
Into oblivion
My mistake to think that we’re doomed to repeat
Repetition implies sustainability
It gets worse as it goes on
We’re cast in amber nostalgic
Set to reenact the patterns
That cause the fucking problems
And I refuse to cope
It’s better to be alone
I know
I have to live with myself
But I can’t
Put that on someone else
What good
Would it do to continue this
I feel the weight of impending doom
Consuming - what else do I have to offer you
What good has learning this brought you
Slow march
Into oblivion
By myself
What good has suffering brought you?
What good has solitude brought you?

Endless

What’s left to regret
What I’m grieving hasn’t happened
Not Yet - but it’s doomed to come at some point
A path set, undone but somehow endless
But I can’t redirect this undertow I’m drowning in
I’m exhausted by constant mourning
Of every choice I could but don’t make
And the weight of my thoughts consumes me
There’s no clear path I could take
To rid myself of these mistakes
Don’t give a fuck what’s ahead of me
Again I sink into apathy
This consciousness is a burden
I’m forced to witness the end - oblivion
Don’t give a fuck what’s ahead of me
I just want to be rid of this
I feel the cycle reset
The hope is gone I can’t feel it

Time Immemorial

Feels like I’ve only got myself
But I could go the rest of my life
Without resolving that
I’m stuck with what I think I know
The world just feels so fucking old
But lessons lost are only those
Feelings felt since
Something’s wrong, I feel cursed
Regret weighing on me worse than before
Same song with a new verse
Repeating patterns - diminishing returns
How much of me do I have left
What can I sacrifice and still be myself
What’s left to bury if I’m burned to the bone
So much is taken from me
I can’t escape the feeling
Time weighs me down
And I different
Calloused and cold
But what’s the difference
It’s like I never learned to cope
To fill a void or fix a hole
So now I sink
Without control
A feeling felt since
Time immemorial

Sin Eater

I’ve had some time to reflect
On my failings in the past
On what it takes to be a friend
On what I have and who I share it with
Why must this distance still persist
i cling to memories but it’s useless
Where will I turn when I ruin this
Set on a path I’ll regret
Know I’ll destroy myself again
I’m not afraid of the abyss
I can withstand nothingness
But what comes between is it locked in
Can I change what comes before the end?
Time feels so heavy
Under the weight of entropy
Why must I burn the way I do
Engulf others in what I go through
The distance grows, the distance proves
I can’t sustain I can’t break through
Why’s reaching out feel impossible
Why can’t I just destroy what’s left of my ego?
Time immemorial
