I know
what it feels like losing love,
I remember
the dark days I spent thinking about what I’ve done,
I know
the cry that breaks the core with pain,
I remember
the void when you left me dismayed.

All the roads
came to a dead end when you were gone,
and my heart
was smashed into pieces as I crawled.

Everyone falls
and come back stronger,
I’ve been falling all my life long
but haven’t found the strength to recover.

There are regrets
I can’t tell anyone,
choices made
I can’t reverse,
I’ve lost so much along the way,
there’s no pain I can’t take.

All my life comes to a halt
when I realize you’re not around,
and my heart gets smashed into pieces,
burned to the ground.

I try
to arrange the pieces,
but the puzzle
never gets solved,
when I see you in my dreams,
I end up hurting myself more.

I always push myself
to the edge of hope,
I see the light,
but is then eclipsed by black smoke.

I want to
let go of you and this pain,
but my heart is smashed into pieces
and I feel like giving in..

#2 – Fade Away: Living Your Lies

A rock song that showcases the state of a person after the death of his/her loved one. The song closely relates to the depression that death brings. It deals with the darkness and numbness leading a person to live the life of a recluse. The person is lost and expects to be shown the way to a better life. In the end, he/she knows that his/her life will never be the same without that person.

Light years apart
A broken heart
Along the way, life left a scar
Finding a way to breakthrough
Is there a way to let go of this pain?

I fade away
I failed again
I shout tearing apart my lungs
but your voices inside turn me numb
The memories I wanted to keep
are filled with misery and hurt
Your words I inhale
to ignite the fire and watch me burn

Your shadows are the comfort
that’s all left within
Your unsaid words
are the thorns in this piercing guilt
I always absorb the thoughts
that make me fragile
When I close my eyes
the tears wash away the dust
from the darkness imprinted on my mind

They say
you are there among the stars
But,
the clouds
hide the place where you are
The lie of you
still floats around
the one you left behind
when my world fell apart

I’m still lost
after all these years
I’ve changed to a person
I never wanted to be
Will you show me the way?

A day
I’ll fade away
and
I will sleep in my grave
There is no path
to get back to you
and
these voices will keep me tied to you

I will swallow the sorrows every day
and live forever to see only dark days

I fade away
and I failed again
I fade away
and I failed again
I fade away…
and I failed again

Let me let go of this pain!!
Let me let go of this pain!!

One of the songs that relate to innocence and a broken heart.

Bludgeoned, Broken, Cursed
Another punch you gave
And quenched your thirst
What did I do?
Did I make you sick?
I thought I will be fine
And you turned into a sadistic
I was not complex as your ego
Thumped your chest
Because you could see through

A simple man
A simple dream
Caught in the hurricane of your greed
I showed what was best in me
You thought I can be a dog
wailing at your feet

Thought I saw the light
Your love will be my might
I cut for you to see my heart
Gave it all to let it not fall apart
But, like them, you hid behind the lies
Took away the strength leaving nothing behind

I thought I was born to live a flawless life
A glitch in it, but I will survive
Came the dark clouds eclipsing the blue skies
The rainbow erased as Gods began to fight
I wanted to run far away, never come back
But you shackled and stomped, I never had a chance

I have lost the will I had within
You come like wolves as I stand alone in the ring
There is no difference between happiness and hurt
A bitter truth tearing me in spurts
Was it a curse to walk with a transparent soul?
Sanity this world could never behold
Was it my simplicity or were you insecure?
Pure
Transparent
I was not your glass to be shattered on the floor

#4 – Bullet To The Head: Dark Love

A small rap song about a bad and unforgiving relationship. The song deals with the betrayal that leads to a broken heart and broken relationship. Agony, hurt, pain, anger, misery, helplessness, and dark thoughts are some of the key elements in the song.

Devil,
in the mirror
Glass,
in the hand, shivers
Shirt,
stained with blood
Memories,
filled with disgust
Gun,
pointed at my head
Realized,
the biggest mistake
Too late,
to make it alright
Love,
I lost that night
Dreams,
were shattered
Fights,
we suffered
Betrayal,
a big surprise
Your love,
a curse to my life
Forgiveness,
Too good for you
Hurt,
my gift to you
Too heavy,
to decipher
Still why,
it was over
Another chance,
should’ve given
A Heart,
that was broken
But,
it all fell apart
A shot,
in the dark
Closed,
my eyes in pain
Tears,
went down the drain
This life,
pleading to get over
Time,
to pull the trigger
A Bullet,
to the mind
Peace,
in the afterlife.

Blood splatter showcasing broken and dying love.

I can’t take another step
A hurting metal inside my chest
Life revolving in my head
Probably, this is the end

Falling on my knees
The red source beneath my feet
The screams pegged inside of me
Black is all that I can see

Maybe the last visual
You standing in front of me, unusual
I’ve waited for it, hauled
I’ll be curse free after all

Resting against the wall
Pouring the tincture on the hollow
Head hanging and fire left to swallow

A smile on the face
May be tears in your eyes
The happiness and sadness
Still can’t erase, even as I die

The weight of you leaving
The trigger I pulled, left bleeding
A flesh of regrets, it has always been
Was it me or was it the devil, holding on to me?

I wanted you to set me free
But, I was born for the sunset it seems
When I needed some sanity
I was at the crossroads of my own deeds

Running from my shadows
Reaching for yours
A person so drowned into
Still couldn’t find, what was inside of you

I have always hated
The truth that made me
I tried to change myself
But, black was the blood inside of me

This moment I wanted all my life
Your arms around me and the love in your eyes
But, it’s too late and the end of the road on which I ride
For the last time
For this never-ending love, I want you to realize,

“I will love you even on the other side”
