Reminisce

Eventually when the time’s up and the end approaches
Fearing the moment my breath fails,
I’m still struggling to pick up the hands of a clock that I can’t hold
The horizon that seemed endless starts to fade out
And even the guiding lights slowly dim away
There is no radiant boy on the other side of the mirror, not anymore
But a man who stares at the reminiscence of the boy
What was lost and what was gained
It lost its meaning long ago
Yes I know the answer is already there
And I know, I can’t trace back the steps
But I will not wander around this endless cycle, waiting for the end
Now, those arrows are aiming for my throat
Sand is slowly trying to bury me alive
Can’t turn back, can’t stay
Time has come to break the fragile shell
I will not trust the lighthouse of lies
My breath remains short, that I won’t waste
Eventually when the time’s up and the end approaches
Fearing the moment my breath fails,
I’m still struggling to pick up the hands of a clock that I can’t hold
The horizon that seemed endless starts to fade out
And even the guiding lights slowly dim away
There is no radiant boy on the other side of the mirror, not anymore
But a man who stares at the reminiscence of the boy
Yeah I know it’s my fault
I am saying goodbye to the self I used to know
The one who pretended to be blind, shoving dirt into the eyes
The one who condemned others because he is weak
To all of it, I bid farewell
I’m leaving this hell of my design.
I will not trust the lighthouse of lies
My breath remains short, that I won’t waste

Moving On

I was just letting myself sink into the past
I know what went wrong, where it all went wrong
I can’t breathe anymore, the water’s rising up to my neck
I think the time has come to decide; should I sink or swim.
Every step I make will eventually lead me to the valley where life doesn’t exist,
but if I don’t move forward now there will be no ground for me to stand
I can feel it on my skin
What makes me feel the terror
What drives me into the corner
All these comfort I have had, was it all really for my own good
My body is growing colder and colder by the minute
Fasten your knot tight, it is now or it will be never
It’s now or never
Don’t ever let yourself go
From the light shining upon you
The air that you inhale to live
I can feel it on my skin
What makes me feel the terror
What drives me into the corner
Keep on moving forward
Bear the weight, bear the pain on your shoulder
Even if all the world blames me, turns against me
I will by all means reach what I’ve longed for all my life

Write it down on the mask
That i'm strong, i‘m sound, i'm sane.
Cover your face with it, just to forget it x2
Tape the mouth shut, so no one can hear you're voice
Never leave yourself open, for the to stab you in the back.
Never endless chains of lies and decept
I’m thrown into this vicious cycle.
You gifts and potentials are of no use
Listen up don't break the rules.
May your resentment run down your face, get they're blind
Lose who you really are, be what they want you to be.
Write it down on the mask
That i'm strong, i'sound, i'm sane.
Cover your face with it,just to forget it x2
Tape the mouth shut, so no one can hear you're voice
Never leave yourself open, for the to stab you in the back.
Who is this mask really for?
Look under the shell
And see if this was all for you
Look under its skin
Their masks have all melted away x2
See for yourself
Witness this masquerade
With their hideousity exposed
And their hands at their throats
Look at your self
Who are you suffocating now?
You're made this way, or it's your true self,
I don,t know why are you hiding under your mask?
I'don't even know any more.

One by one, as I take my steps
I see the marks of my past
Over the faded horizon
I see a glimpse of light
Not a trace of you can I see
But I can still feel you
I am yet unstable, incomplete
Would you tell me more of your life?
Mistrust and conflict
That was the start of us
Prejudices and c ensures
We couldn’t get away from our frames
Why it had to be like this wasn’t understood
You never realized the weight on your shoulders
That’s pushing you down
One by one, as I take my steps
I see the marks of my past
Over the faded horizon
I see a glimpse of light
Not a trace of you can I see
But I can still feel you
I am yet unstable, incomplete
Would you tell me more of your life?
Guilt engraved deep into the brain
Strikes without warning from afar
And lingers around my temple
I thought everything was a choice made wrong
But I know now
Even if my choices were wrong
I did the best I could, at least I tried.
Count the petals that hung their head that never bloomed
The memories carved into every one of my knuckles come to me anew
I see that I wasn’t the only one struggling and hurt, but too late
I am still foolish and incomplete
But I will move on, I will go on
To keep the warmth you embraced me with.
Though lightyears away we are, I hope you know this
That when we meet again, I hope it would be with smiles, not tears

Look up to the skies, search for the stars
shrouded by the clouds, there's nothing to see
I always hid myself here for silence, away from busy city lights
surrounded by the dark, only the stars to embrace me.
Just sat to watch the stars
That were always there for me to comfort me
Putting behind the skies that always shined beautifully
I moved on
Not before long I wasn't a kid anymore
Look up to the skies, search for the stars
shrouded by the clouds, there's nothing to see
Where have they gone, where have I come
Are my eyes blinded by the clouds, or am I the only one that can't see? X2
I believed I was strong, so I no longer looked up above
But it was only on the outside
Running away back to the place of peace
To find there’s nothing to see
I believed I was strong
But it was only on the outside
I never wanted to come back here
I never wanted to look up anymore
I thought you'd always be there for me
But you're nothing but gone.
In the end I was always the same.
Just a boy, crying and looking up to the stars
I believe the night sky’s always shining for someone
Even I couldnt see it, I always have.
I may no longer see it up above,
but it’s always lighted my path so bright from the inside
I’ll move on and on, to become a star in the night sky for somebody in the end
