Chapter 3 01:18
I've seen an end to these better days, and I think this is my final chapter.

Abandonded 03:52
All I see when I stare into glass is an image of you. A vision I desperately need to fight to see through a man I've sworn I'll never be, but I've spent these days. Imprisoned in my mind. Only to find my eyes have been torn from my mind and I can see no way out. Betrayed by my leaders. I've lost the hope that I had. I've cut corners, I've traced lines. No longer will I ever fight. Will I ever fight? My dreams, my desires just a fable written by the one you call god. This world will be taken from us. With no better place to go. Nothings the way it seems. We just dance around misery. No hope can save us. No love can tame us. We are the ones they call the end.

Grey Area 02:38
I find myself pacing hallways in my dreams. Locked doors pave these weathered walls. In an open room lie the keys, but I find they've been rusted by the time wasted on this life. No to open these doors I need the strength I've never had. I've pushed myself to think better of this life. Desolation, mediation just chapters of black and white. I've been painting portraits of better times, but for years I could only retrace the lines. What wrongs have I made? What paths must I take to escape the greys of my mind? I've been locked from this world for too long. now the time has come to break down these walls. I fucking failed again. How much longer do I continue this?

10 & 2 03:31
I never thought I'd see these days with out you, but no love can bring you back and no life can suffice. I remember the days just growing up not a care in the world. That's all I have are memories, my better days were spent with you. Now tell me where do I go from here. How do I deal with the void you left behind? Do I cope with the pain, or live life wondering? If you could only see the tears we shed when reality set in. You lived a life to be proud of, and only joy is what you held. To this day you inspire me to leave behind a legacy, and all these memories you have left me. I've dedicated these lines once before not a single word can express the pain I kept inside, the dark terrors in my mind. If only there was a higher land I'd take my life to see you again, or maybe just to ease the pain. I can't live life wondering... If I was at your side that night, If I could have helped to do anything to keep you safe that night? All I have is this burden, and all these memories of better days with you. A better life. Now tell me where do I go from here. How do I deal with the void you left behind? Do I cope with the pain, or live life wondering? Fuck. In memory of Jason Thomas Potter. Rest in power.

I see all my mistakes pass me by with each step I take. I walk this beaten path laid out before me. An endless trek through wasted memories and broken homes. I have no hope for my future. I see no good ever coming from me. With each stride I attempt to be better. With each breath I want to start over again. My slate is weathered and rusted. It can not be cleared. I will grow old with misfortune following me home forever. I was put here to disappoint. I was sent here to amount to nothing. My blistering heals can not take much more. It's time to find a way out. It's time to end everything.

Rising Sun 01:34
What is pain? What is fear? Signs of weakness. I will never bow to. I was lost at sea with no shore in sight. My mind and judgement clouded by endless horrors. No pain, no fear my shackles are finally broken. This is my time to rise up from the abyss and take back the life that was held in place by the barriers of doubt. No second thoughts, no questioning. This is my life I will take the reigns and guide myself to wear I want to be. This is my life I will take the reigns and guide myself to wear I need to be. This is my fucking life.

I wake up to this nightmare I call my life a barren wasteland, with dust blowing in the wind. Each day is a struggle to find a glimmer of happiness. I may never crawl from this filth. The light at the end of the tunnel always seems to be inches from my grasp. I don't understand how this downward spiral began, but I must live with the constant hardships of my failures. I can't do this on my own. (What the fuck happened to me?) I can't do this by myself. (This is the hardest thing I've ever had to endure.) These are my own problems. This is my own life, but I can't do this by myself. I can't do this by myself. I can't do this on my own. The push I need is one only you can provide. I need the courage to push forward and make something from the nothing that I have. I want to make you proud. I will make you proud.

No Way Out 04:06
Tired eyes and racing thoughts. Sleepless nights are all he knows. Watching the rest of the world pass by, longing to find the smiles and joy held by everyone else. He walks streets beaten by anger and hate. A constant darkness lingering over. The clouds continue to block out the sun. Will he ever find what his heart truly desires? Will he lose all hope and drift away? Tired eyes and fucked up thoughts. Living a nightmare he cannot escape. This bottle of pills provides his only solace in a world that has taken everything away. "Why must this happen to me? What Have I done?" He raises his head with his hands in prayer only to see there's no one there. A desperate man in search for his own paradise. Finding only emptiness he knows what must be done. The crushing weight of this world is too much for one man to handle. Abandonment is all his faith has brought him. Wasting away his life praying to a god that doesn't. Nothing else matters now his story has come to an end. Wasted away his life praying to a god that doesn't. Nothing else matters now. This is the final chapter to another wasted existence. Nothing else matters now.

Untitled 02:33
I am just a last resort never thought of from the start. Never cared for never had heart. Just a disposable person. Use me like the rest of this world. Exploited for personal gain and kicked to the curb where I'm left to whiter. My mind is left in a permanent state of angst. Finding peace of mind will cost me more than a piece of my mind. Trying to retrace my steps to find myself, but you have already erased the foot prints I left behind. I'm stuck taking constant lefts when I need to take a right and find where I lost what used to be my heart. What used to be me. I'm trying to find who I am. Searching shadows and empty thoughts. I'm trying to find who I am. Still asking questions with no answers. Turning through the pages of my past. Trying to get a grip on the life that has gotten away from me. Trying to get a grip on the memories that will never fade away. I can't find who I am.

Black Sheep 04:09
You walk this earth living a life taken from the hearts of those who have found what is truly theirs. Pulling cards to shuffle the hand that you've been dealt. Afraid to look back on the bridges you've burned. How does it feel to live a lie, to flip your colors when the seasons change? Black sheep following these broken roads.Cowards hiding amongst the wolves. There is nothing in this world that will make you real. The reflection in the mirror shows the image we can see right through. Black sheep amongst the wolves. Taking the stage, preaching a message but following a different path. Wearing the mask of a computer screen. Hiding behind the letters at your fingertips, and force feeding your elitist opinions down our fucking throats. You are the swarm of locusts consuming every gimmick in sight. Your entire culture reversed to reflect the kid that is standing next to you, while you worship your faceless idols. I walk around and see all individuality thrown out the window, and hordes of kids searching to exploit the next best trend. You are the black sheep, we are the wolves. What is real to us is something you'll never understand.
