All I know is how to break you into pieces And the things that you think I'll be but won't ever be So stop trying I won't pretend cuz I ain't impressed not a bit Call me what you want cuz I'm damn aware That I'm so cold My heart's so cold And I won't ever feel a thing for you Told you that I'm bad news I'm empty through and through I see where this is going and I'm telling you I'm not insecure, not sad, not jealous And need no one to perfect me Fix your heart elsewhere There's nothing I could ever offer you Cuz I'm cold My blood's so cold And I won't ever feel a thing again My heart's so cold And I won't ever get to feel again I'm exhausted to the bone from bearing guilt I couldn't forgive For the million teardrops from past someone else I'm trying to forget But I somehow keep waking up in this mess all over again Till I erase the memories of broken dreams I'd searched in vain Now I'm so cold My heart's so cold

Mirage 06:00
Those clouds still hang over his head 8 years - not a lot has changed Swinging blades above his head Brand new trouble's right ahead He's sung about some puddle around his feet Sung about some whale born unfree Something about that ball and chain And the life he'd searched in vain Now the sea is haunting me The place I truly have to be The same cold void in me Some pieces missing constantly And I know what I'm missing out And you can't relate, you can't ever relate At last I'm close to finding out the truth I can never escape Never It's easy to tell it was all good When past would pride me all the time And the songs sound exactly alike Because I've been holding onto the same old lie In an attempt to replicate the dream All I did is make it hurt even more It's getting hard staying on this path How easy it is to let it loose so fast Now the sea is haunting me The place I truly have to be The same cold void in me Some pieces missing constantly The sea The world The scars The past That love The chances The pride The tears That hate That shame That loss This curse The fear The fear The fear

You say I'm minimal and I let things go Honestly these days I don't know Kinda like that lady who ate ashes of Her husband who died years ago They say I do whatever the hell I please But I'm struggling to recall the time I laid my head down at peace Trying to walk the straighter line to start over again But I'm still here with a big hole in my heart Hoarding my lost love Chasing a ghost The world is on hold Time heals so I'm told Imprisoning my soul in this house reeks of memories But the key's on the table in front of me So do you still think I don't know how to leave Or am just scared shitless to When the pain feels like coming home to a warm stew Thought I was strong Now I know I was wrong The world is so cold The sun's gone for so long Since the night you said "Baby do you still love me? Baby do you still desire me? You must let me go I have to go home"

Two Tunnels 03:32
You ain't special, you ain't different You ain't a diamond in the rough You ain't weird, you ain't crazy You ain't the femme fetale you wish to be You're desired, you're cherished And all the boys just don't know what to do Baby it's classic, barbie the plastic I've seen a hundred walls look just like you I'm sorry to break it to you But there's nothing I want from you Find someone else who treats you good Couldn't care less if you think I'm cruel I ain't fooled, I ain't amused By the story you just told about god knows what I'd rather leave, I'd rather die Than having to sit through your bullshit You ain't dirty, you're just a baby Another new long movie with no plot twist I ain't your daddy, I ain't your mummy No way cleaning your mess up when you're pissed I'm sorry to break it to you But there's nothing I could say to you Find someone else and set me free I'm crawling out of the window saying I'll go pee I'm sorry to break it to you But there's nothing that I want from you Find someone else who can babysit There's a plenty of fish in the sea I'm seeing the two tunnels in your face I'm hearing your voice from the outer space

Cry an Ocean 04:24
I wish I could cry an ocean Drowning I don't care Cry an ocean Trying and trying but I can't Nail me to the seabed I deserve it Dispose of me in a plastic bag The noose around my neck Cry an ocean That's right where I belong Don't cry an ocean I don't think you understand There hasn't been a time I had to be the one To wash the blood away To take your life away Let's take one last ride To send you far away To the place your love decays You've never really seen the ocean Until you've broken Until you're broken Don't take me to the ocean I'm sick of these tender waves Sick of these mountains Sick of this scenery from the third floor widow at the dawn Sick of this room full of love The highway to get me home And the sun that burn so bright upon me next to no one Cry an ocean Oh I wish I could cry an ocean Tell me how the hell I could Cry an ocean

Teethgrinder 03:30
I said a few things I regret Knowing what you thought we had is dead All the truths would put you in your place And I'm too busy making no sense I'm grinding my teeth every night In my sleep there's a question I find "If I shut this mouth forever, would I give in or endeavor?" And I can't tell you what you wanna hear And I can't tell you what you most fear Silence over truth Am I allowed to cry over you Can I grieve over you Should I say, should I hide, should I let you keep your pride Will you cry, will you fight, will you get over our ride They say I fuck my teeth up at night In my sleep there's a reason I found Though I hold this tongue forever, it won't be any better Cuz I can't tell you what you wanna hear Neither can I tell you what you most fear Silence over truth Am I allowed to cry over us Can I grieve over us And I refuse to ignore the elephant in the room And see you water the flower I know no longer blooms It doesn't matter after all which pain I replace I truly care for you but it'll all end up in this place

Thought I've learnt some another simple lesson But now I know nothing I do will ever lessen the havoc I cause And I'm having to convince myself I'm a better man But you know I never paid my debts The last call This is my last call Another bridge is about to fall Go ahead and close the door If you leave it's time to go Just another someone I'll forget You got choked on the ashes of something there once used to be between us Before I set the fire Now I walk away to lead myself astray again and again But how many goddamn times do I have to say The last call This is my last call Another bridge is about to fall Go ahead and lock the door If you leave it's time to go Just another someone I'll forget You can't save me no can't you see Nothing's stopped me from these atrocities Leaving's all I know how to do Just walk away and let this fire burn This is my last call Go ahead and burn it all Another broken heart of gold Just another someone I must forget

Convince me why I still Stand all day like a ghost I sweated and I froze And this heart nearly stopped I've waited far too long I no longer belong Am I stuck for life Wasted far more time Than you can ever imagine In trade for what I Forgot why I even defend I grew while I wasn't free Tried making something out of it But running out all good reasons To justify these lifeless eyes Stairs won't lurk Floors won't talk Roofs won't pry Chains won't cry For a hundred more years Until I I hold the keys to what's Beyond these plaster walls Even after I threw all my days away Guess it's still not too late To stop the wait Not quite too late Nails won't dance Dust won't curse Leave won't grieve Stones won't bleed For a hundred more years Until I Unless I Keeps won't run Ants won't burn Gates won't scream Blossoms won't ever dream Of a hundred years For a hundred more years Unless I choose to Until I choose to It's easy to dismiss What's made me who I am When I couldn't care if I live Fast and die today Yet it's just not too late Still not too late

Blasphemy 03:50
Dominated by deadly false hopes I feel my veins, obey the nature's law This long forgotten antient sense When this winter ends all I took for granted will be gone I'm a slave to these ruthless flames Straight down to the abyss for playing fool's games I gave my power up, I want it back All these years I stood for what I've obtained Now I burn through this cold this night in solitude Took my chance with scars that shouldn't have been revealed Exposed my secrets and drank yours in exchange Now go on and tell me what these eyes of mine are seeing ain't real I had my time, I set my life and I couldn't rearrange anymore Now I'm a slave to these ruthless flames Stare into the abyss, cremate its name Take the pain, obey the nature's law All these years I stood tall but I'm drained As I burn through this cold night in solitude A glimpse of what was once mine I know it all how nothing lasts forever I landed hard because I climbed goddamn high Now I know nothing lasts forevermore Go on burn me down Come on burn me down It's my turn to burn Dominated by these deadly false hopes

about

Nine rituals written in 2022 in true sorrow and total solitude, then recorded to cremate two years of fading memories, lost loves and broken dreams in the land of Himeji, Japan. There Tsubasa Lucid did his time reaping what he sowed. Now the hoarding of the past misdeeds must come to an end. He leaves the city this day, and what’s left is nothing but the ashes of the burnt bridges he'll never inhale again.
