I search for chaos in peace itself, I search for balance in broken shells, I search for vile heavens in the enlightened hells, What is my purpose if not to question this realm That I've been trying to perceive for decades And really, I'm getting overwhelmed I have nothing to prove to anyone but my will, By my actions should people see that I'm ill Yet with no intent to let myself drown In the gaze of the abyss Been staring at it for years, now I own It completely, my cape made of the ashes bliss, I got from scars in my short experience Yet quite condensed perception of life And I'm no soothsayer but I've predicted my rise And now nothing can stop these tides As I speak I'm cutting ties With my own lies Those voices repeating negations Yeah these waves I'm creating by sheer will The result of my seclusion is coming to fruition These lines will be the foundations Of the never ending thrill hidden in my quill And yet rhetorical speeches leave you speechless, When you knew deep down the answer to your own thesis, You have every right to be fierce, I'm sure no one ever knew what kind of battles You were having, fighting your inner riddles Going up against your own scribbles Life's too short to be afraid to take decisions, It sometimes is about risking everything for a dream that no one can see but you So please Go ask your boss for that raise Go ask your crush out on a date Go and be bold don't wait The true beauty of a dying world is to awake your very own ambition, Meet your derelictions with blazing defiance, Infernal gaze piercing the veil of reality, Beyond the realm of theory, Way past these mountains is the essence, Of what I consider to be the key to happiness - hence Why I'm sick of myself and I need some change Listen to your wild heart's distress Don't let your clouded brain play puppets You're better off living with no regrets They pile up till you're buried Under 6ft deep of concrete Throughout your ambitions, stay true to your aspirations. That record almost didn't make it because of it What a pity it'd be, if I already quit If I hadn't even started, so take a seat, And take a sip of my music, Cause that's only a snippet, Of what's coming next Better grab your ticket, Cause we're going on a hell of a ride on the waters of the Styx The creation in which contradiction finds its use The bitterly cold stream that makes phoenixes amused The river in which chaos rules and tides become my muse And in the red horizon that we thought to be read Like a book open up on the sea, open up and see My philosophy that I've been bottling up since The beginning of this journey
