Crater 03:21
I'm hostile, I've had enough of myself, and this world might burn yet before I expire. Well, at least... at least sometimes. When the dark clouds erase the sky, I fight wielding all the might I can conjure. I do try to stay, on the middle course. For all the sunshine, the sky is always dark somewhere. The lowest of the lows turn a ship around. Highest of the highs drag you underground. I did not really feel alive until I felt ready to die.
2.
Through the sun, and the shadows. Little lost dog. I just wander. Drenched in filth, I just can not wash out. For the better or the worse, a real go-getter, finds new bones. Mere distinction, hardly a choice. Forced ambition, but in my own voice. What do I remain? Memories will fade. What do I become? New gains to be made. Who do I chew up? Who will be my fodder? Who do I spit out? Now I am marauder. Despite of what I wanted, this cold is what I got. Had to find out for myself. It's not so bad.

Soothsayer 04:33
I can't seem to mend, the peace that I've broken. In the face of a nuisance, I'm locked and loaded. All it could be, just a molehill, but my heart is pounding. Passed down to me, an innate skill, to turn it into a mountain. Preoccupied with rumination, over and over I slaughter time. Bouts with procrastination, deadstop after deadstop in line. I said that this time patience would win. It would be different. It would be the charm. I know where this is going, the stench is growing stronger. Snail's pace a day, only growing longer.
4.
Apex yet awkward. Round peg in a square hole. We bite off our tongues, smash our heads through the wall. Trip, fall. You could be fooled to believe existence is a cinch, but eventually bound to unleash a hail of anvil and stone. Always trying to be something or other, something different, something other than this. If we are inherent beings, inherently we are fucked. I can not wrap my head around what it's like to be just us.
5.
Solitude 03:32
Since the first days, that I could remember. Distrust in you, I never would surrender. Time only hones, the art of the cunning. Standing face to face after all these years. Superficial changes, still I disagree. English goodbyes. Rather be by myself. No need for tales and lies. Swindled by an elf. Crowded homes, crowded streets, crowded thrones, All deadbeats. Ignoring all the noise, I am blissfully alone. You see, it's my own mind I struggle to avoid. What makes you think I have some room for more?
6.
No, not this again. Blood rush through my veins. Airways are constricting. Vision fades to red. Mistakes predictable. Should I be alone? Someone has to pay. Consequence too great. I don't want to hold my tears, something's gonna have to give. Actions that I must refrain. I just want to breathe again.
7.
Regards 03:25
Bitter eyes, sights despised. Who am I to judge you? Intuition; thorn in my side. Tolerance undue. I will bind all the time, until I'll outlast you. Obsolete paradigm. Unwanted residue. You and I, much alike, yet divergent. Don't mistake my modest disposition, for an affinity. I'm exempt from contrition, don't tread on me. Festering laceration, that I call my home. Human desecration, modern-day catacomb.
8.
Porous body of mine, soak up the poison. Birthing the being of mental corrosion. Within complacency my mind is wandering. Fuck what you heard, paranoia soothes me. Concrete walls, they fall, giving way to doors. Behind them they roam, the evils of my soul. Wanting more and more, my consciousness is floored. A daily ritual of facing my motherfucking demons.
