Cascade 03:15
Reflecting on the moments of when we fell apart. Your hands harboured the coldest touch, I felt your absence in my heart. It wasn’t in the words you spoke, but how you hid behind the silence. Left without answers, lost to curiosity; I let it destroy me. There was always distance between us, but in your arms I was a stranger. For years we’d pursue to bridge divide, desire kept us breathing. Through a warming disposition I never knew you housed such cold. I tremble when I hear your name, in your presence I turn to stone. Idle and helpless I reached out for your hand, through cascading eyes I could see you were already gone. Deceive me. How can it be that I feel your breath caress my skin and your heart beating against my chest, I still feel alone?

When my heart stops and I wilt away I’ll sink beneath the earth, this world will cease to change All that I can hope for, as I begin to decay, is that I take the burden of my existence with me to the grave. My days are perpetually poisoned with regret I’ll rectify my faults with my death Bury me under the weight of my mistakes Drown every memory of my life in the lake. How can I make amends with a life that harbours no forgiveness? I will die a broken man. There is no absolution. The grey remains as I dissolve.

Fences 04:06
Life has become bereft of colour Encased in grey, a portrait of misery I’m starting to believe that there is nothing left for me. Terrified to let them medicate me and reduce my already fragile state of mind to where I’m so disconnected; detached from myself and there’s nothing that I can feel. I’m constantly trying to find the balance between a safe solitude without pushing away all of those I love Clutching onto anything that distracts me from my misery Anything that can suppress the constant urge to kill myself I keep building fences to seclude myself I’m too ashamed to admit that I need help Still carrying the weight of this heartache Buried within me Too afraid to let you go and substantiate the fact that without your love then I am truly alone Too afraid to let you go Too afraid to be alone

Greywash 03:29
Been thinking too much of how it feels to be a memory A painting of perfect; a portrait of comfort Something I couldn’t ever be I’ve grown so tired of waiting to die How long until I’m erased and left behind? Coalescing tragedies broke me into defeat Left me alone with my apathy I watched the colour drain from the world Drowning in the grey, I became submerged The last four years I spent hating every part of myself Beneath the monument, I wish you’d left me for dead I said it was an accident, but if you knew just how I felt... And if you left so much unsaid... Could you ever forgive yourself? When you’re looking back and you reminisce Please just don’t forget I wasn’t always like this
