Black Wolves

|
in my sight there's a forest
no light but an eerie of chorus
of howls from the demons that surround me in the darkness
my guard was down all along
I brought this on myself
and now I'm left here all alone
to face this pack of shadows
through the trees I see their eyes
and gnashing teeth
they are waiting x2
for me to grow weak
these demons I created
these demons I created
these demons I created
I'll take it all
I'll take more from you then you could ever steal from me
all you did was stoke my inner battle
This end game I foresaw isn't going down like this
because this is my fucking mind
I know what you are
A shadow from my past
I know how to kill you
Cause self awareness was all that I lacked
these demons I've created
I am not turning back
these demons I've created
I'm taking my soul back

Composite King

there is nothing to achieve for a composite king
we're eager to be defined
the end of the journey always in sight
we think we know the design
and elevate ourselves to premature heights
we gotta look inside
pick up the pieces and arrange them by size
no better time to start
the whole of the sum is always equal to it's parts
there is nothing to achieve for a composite king
we are all equal to our parts
ever forward and down doomed to slump with the weight
of his crown
emergence

Hollow Pursuits
03:22
|
|||
|
one by one in financial rows
futures unclear living in a shadow
no way forwardon this leash,
made of debt and formed in regret
you are free to dream but who does it belong to?
if you can't follow through cause of your hollow pursuits
fuck the banks
I won't be debts slave
one by one like a chess piece
they will yank on your debts leash
no way forward,
on this leash made of debt and formed on regret
if I knew back then, what I know now
would I take it all back the dreams and debt
if you knew back then, what you know now
would you take it all back
I'm better than this
I'll fill my hollow life
with intelligence and confidence

Growth
03:44
|
|||
|
growing up with something more than I had before
resolving to grow ever stronger held back by an unknown force
I've been this way for too many days and it's starting to show
I can't work any longer or focus on my goals
I'm sick of wasting time
I'm wasting away
I know it can be hard climbing out of a rut
but I'm sick of suffering
I'm sick of being stuck
I'm sick of wasting time
I'm looking for some growth
weither it's slow or quick
weither one or multiple projects
if I learned my lesson through it
it was well worth it
I'll grow like a tree rooted in stone
I'll fly like a bird migrating home
