1. THE CLOUDS ARE FOLLOWING ME

I can’t seem to shake this feeling
It’s like these clouds are following me
In my dreams they haunt my troubled thoughts
There’s no end in sight
The lights don’t shine in me like they used to
They don’t shine at all
I’ve never cared for the storms to end
Let it rain until the earth floods
Let it rain until seas spill over


2. ISOLATIONISM

Coffin nails pushed through my palms ink verses into empty psalms
Inverted in solitude, it tastes just like what I expected it to
God has left me in the dark tonight, but my enemies were kind enough to keep me company
They cut me with everything they could, but they held one thing back ‘til they got even
In the dark again, I’ve made myself forget everything
One less person to say farewell to on my path to hell
I feel like my soul is leaking out through the cracks in my skin
I’m a temple converted, too gone to let you in
And if I did, what would you find?
It would only disappoint you
Here is a shoulder to rest your weary head
But it is colder than the earth that I sleep in
I’m better off alone anyway


3. DROWN

Everyday is a struggle to keep my head above the waves
Make every heart you break a slow burn
I’ve learned to hate the world and the way it turns
You saw me down by the harbor
You thought I was treading water
But I was really drowning
And the days keep passing me by
Words spoil in my mouth and rot behind my teeth
And it feels like theirs miles between us but it’s only a couple of feet
I’ve grown too distant, to numb to even care
And it makes me sick, but I just can’t quit
I’ve lost all touch with reality
I’ve tried but I just can’t explain
Another son who clutched his scythe to the grave
Another friend who moved away
Another girl who fucks to fit in
