My Descent

How I long to flee
To someplace no one’s helping me
Where perfection’s not preferred,
And where my words can be set free
I desire rest and peace
For the both of us to sleep
Soundly in the face of fear
Both here, and to eternity
When does purgatory end?
I ask myself and play pretend
Drag my cursed chains around
And wish the noise did not offend
Run from dark and run from light
Greeting nothing without fright
There is no such time as rest
When trapped eternally in flight
Oh I dream of your embrace
The day I look upon your face
And shame a distant memory
With but a bitter aftertaste
My dog chases his tail still
Just the proper speed to kill
Driven to insanity, he
Never seems to have his fill
I need strength and bravery
To fight the fear that wavers me
To pull myself out from the hole
No one resides in, save for me
I need blest assurance now
A guiding hand to show me how
Gradual, else I will fall
Soon, or I will lose my vow
You will always be my love
Be it here or yet above
Tortuous when you’re away
And less when pushing comes to shove
Winding paths that never meet
Tred upon by faulty feet
In my hands I hold the whip
With which myself I love to beat
I ask with genuine intent
Still, wasting all the time I spent
On echoes from an empty void
That follow me in my descent

Slow down, what you running for
You ain’t alive no more
Shut up, what you yelling for
No one cares no more
You’re just a piece of nothing at all
Through the cracks you gon’ fall
Don’t try, there’s no reason why
Don’t care, do your worst to me
For I’m rehearsed, you see
Look close, at all the fucks I gave
For time you could have saved
And I’m free, no I am not a slave
To the road I pave
Now wave, as I take my escape

Gonna Be Forgotten

It hurts quite bad at first to lose the things you think you need
But there comes a time when you have bled all you can bleed
And everything ends up the same, it’s all just memories
And in the grand scheme of things what’s the difference, them or these?
How long it takes to build what’s easy to destroy
It’s funny, what you don’t see coming, the things you can’t avoid
Hands outstretched to catch you, would you still choose just to fall?
Would you rather be remembered as a fool or not at all?
Well there are many people I used to know as friends
I don’t know how I got to where I am from where I’ve been
But I’m okay with slowly fading out before the end
If I’m gonna be forgotten, does it really matter when?
Hey yeah yeah yeah
Hey yeah yeah yeah, oh
Said if I'm gonna be forgotten, does it really matter when?
When you get knocked down, you just keep trying, never quit
But trying’s hard when you’ve already stopped giving a shit
There’s nothing I can do that couldn’t still be done
Nothing I could sing that hasn’t already been sung
What concern of yours am I until I make you care
And what’s the point if down the road neither of us are there
I could be successful, or I could waste away
Either way I’ll be erased, either one will have its day
Well there are many people I used to know as friends
I don’t know how I got to where I am from where I’ve been
But I’m okay with slowly fading out before the end
If I’m gonna be forgotten, does it really matter when?
Hey yeah yeah
Well there are many people I used to know as friends
I don’t know how I got to where I am from where I’ve been
But I’m okay with slowly fading out before the end
If I’m gonna be forgotten, does it really matter when?
Hey yeah yeah yeah
Hey yeah yeah yeah, oh
Said if I'm gonna be forgotten, well does it really matter when?
