I'm in the way of myself lately

I was once a young man
Bound to the grave
A heart of hate
The days came and went
A passing train
My energy spent running through the mist
I found a way to deal with it
A plane ticket west
The mountains were my home
The need for something to conquer
A kingdom to call my own
We all want to run away from the things that make us sick
No guilty conscience and no wounds to lick
Packing up and getting out
Following the sunset
Nomad; I wander without a cause
There's no looking back
Hard times breed hard minds
I found myself, but I ran into you
I walked away, but I fell back into my old ways
I can see you in the mirror
Hatred / Rage
The same thing that I (ran away from)
The reflection is (glaring at me)
And he said something (along the lines of )
"You won't be here long"
The demon that I ran from is snarling through the mirror
He reached out a hand (there's no looking back)
I glared back at him, undaunted
He's waning under me
I will not fall back
I will not give into you
Put your rope around my neck
Walk me through the gallows
I'd rather die than spit in the face of everything I've worked for
I am not afraid of you
I found myself, no longer cursed by you
I walked away, but I fell back into my old ways
I can't see in the mirror
Hatred / Rage
I am king
I am home
I am free on my own

House of Glass

I threw a rock through the walls of a glass house
I'll stand for something or I'll die for nothing
Falling shards reflect with hellfire
Such a beautiful tragedy
They crash upon my feet
And it begins to
Regenerate
Metastasize
The Devil shares my name, my teeth and an ear
"Come with me" he says, "you have a home right here"
He draws me close and invites me in
Like hell I have a chance in hell
Breathing on the embers just to fan the flames
I have burned myself with my own judgements
Through the pain, against the grain
I will find my way
I have burned myself with my own judgements
There's mistakes that I have made, but I won't waste away
I could descend into my own grave
I could forget myself and every one else's name
I could find peace and comfort in the eternal planes
The man that I've become is not the one I ever dreamed I would be
I'm through with these self defeating ways
These thoughts are whipped to a froth
I have burned myself with my own judgements
Through the pain, against the grain
I will find my way
I have burned myself with my own judgements
There's mistakes that I have made, but I won't waste away

Screaming into the void like I knew I would
Fake this face like I know I could
Find a way out of this shell
And into the sunlight from the dirt
I've changed my point of view by walking to the edge of the Earth
Staring at the horizon; hawk eyed
Kingdom minded
Hey, I can find a way out of this
I can find some kind comfort
Some clarity
I will find a way out of this hell I've made
Scratching and clawing my way out of this hell
I've been reaching for a limb to grasp
Hey, I can find a way out of this
I can find some kind of comfort
Some clarity
I will find a way out of this hell I've made
I've been bound to the core of the Earth
I've been bound to the floor shackled by the feet
May these chains lay in rust around me
I am set free

Have you ever felt like you're trapped in one place (motionless) as the world keeps turning?
Being left behind as time keeps hurling forward; to be a part of something but won't hold your breath
(Screaming for someone to notice)
Days like these aren't too far in-between
Acceptance is not a hope or a dream
Are we branded by insecurities?
Will we let this judgement bring us to our knees?
We've all been stuck in that still and quiet place (in the void)
With nowhere to hide from the noise
And when the silence becomes deafening
We've clutched our ears, and shut our eyes, and filled our lungs to scream at the sky until somebody hears our cries
There's no sanctity of love for our species
Tribalistic minds will put us all six feet deep
Have you ever felt like you're trapped in one place (motionless) as the world keeps turning?
Being left behind as time keeps hurling forward; to be a part of something, but won't hold your breath
(Screaming for someone to notice that you're alive)
The silence is deafening
The silence means everything
Stuck in the frame of the footage that goes unnoticed
Subliminal; we are static in the background - a pixel in the frame
Were you ever good enough for yourself?

Shiloh

I can't let you go
Something about you has taken hold
When you whisper in my ear
You had me in that moment
Our hearts intertwined; our lives frozen in time
Before you came I was intangible
And like the spring, you phased out the cold when your hand grazed mine
You took off your dress and it fell to the floor
Then you embraced me
Take my hand
And never let it go
No matter the storm she'll be the light that guides me home
You let down your hair and beauty fell with the strands
Your eyes would lock to mine every time
You painted your nails, and smiled as I noticed
I relaxed with a sigh
As you embraced me
Will you take my hand
And never let it go
Through the seasons and storms
The wind and the rain because
I won't let you go
You have taken hold
This is my shelter
This is my Shiloh
You fell from the veil
Trusted me with your soul
I'll keep you safe as we grow old
I'm undeserving of your love
But will you embrace me?
Will you trust me?
When I'm called back to His kingdom
I know I'll find an angel colored white and gold
Her hair feels like yours
Her name is Shiloh

Inherit the Earth
04:42

We were standing tall like the mountains; as heavy as the seas
There's no youth from the fountain
Prosperity will bleed everything she had
It's in all of our faces
Flooding the interstitial spaces
There's no fountain of youth
Lies beget lies
There is only one truth
Humanity is a cancer
We plague this Earth with conveniences and commodities
She has but one answer
Her eyes roll back
She was tried and true
We turned our backs when she was black and blue
Is this how we thank the Earth, with domestic abuse?
We act as though our children won't inherit the Earth
Our blood will inherit the Earth
Her eyes roll back
She was tried and true
She won't come back (from the dead)
The blood is on our hands (we can't go back)
Once the soil is dry
And the oceans rise
We will have no home
What was the price?
Inherit the Earth

Upside down
Liquid fire coursing through my veins
Crimson colored eyes
I find my way through the dark with a low-lit flame
The only way to see through the shade
I lost touch with what I could hold onto despite the strength in my hands
I hear the echo in that plastic bottle while I stir you up
Care for the body when it whispers
You won't have to hear it scream
Haunting my body with a darkened soul
I'm warming up, but my spirit is cold
You were cupped in the palms of my hands
And I let you spill through my fingers
An amber river flowing through the inner workings of my foundation
Care for the body when it whispers
You won't have to hear it scream
Haunting my body with a darkened soul
I'm warming up, but my spirit is cold
I've shared my body with a goddess
I've shielded my ears as she screams
I haunt my body with a darkened soul
Ichor warms me, but my spirit is cold
Power and confidence channeled through my fingertips
I held onto you so tightly even when I couldn't stand up for myself
I was so proud of me for giving up on you
I was so proud of me, but did you give a fuck?

Heavy lies the weight of a scorned past
Wait a moment and this too shall pass
I'm in the way of myself lately
A heavy feeling in the chest
Sudden cardiac arrest
If there's life after death, is there a time to truly rest?
Has my soul become quiet now?
Does he fall asleep as I spiral down
As I spiral down
I block it out to ignore the sound; it's overbearing
Feet to the earth, head in the clouds; I'm disappearing
As more of life fades I forget who I was trying to be
A ghost in the shell, a flickering flame, a dying light
I'm in the way of myself lately
When Death caresses my skin, and my time has come to an end
When I'm at the gates should I pretend that I'm not guilty of my sins?
If I talk to the devil as a friend, does it mean that He won't let me in?
Will He be able to forgive me when I've been here time and time again?
I shut the door to keep it out; I swallowed the key
Feet to the earth, head in the clouds; I'm disappearing
As more of life fades, I forget who I was trying to be
A ghost in the shell, a flickering flame, a wanna be
I'm in the way of myself lately
So much empty space in time and I get lost trying to find my peace of mind
The end lingers just like a plague
And what comes next is a mystery
So much empty space in time; within that, I can't find the lines to end this song
As if this were the only part of me that will live on
Through power, there is strength
Internal power / Internal strength
Through power, there is strength
Internal power = Eternal strength
