ODISSIA: "REGRET"
Life led careless
A falsehood construct x2
Ignorance spread
Virulence bled
Dripped dry
Mortality painted red
Facetious claims
Pretentiously spewed
By back handed intent
Death by hands of your own regret

ODISSIA: "ISOLATION"
I've dreamed of distance
Something to push me away
I have dreamed resistance
A force to keep them at bay
My body sundered
And my soul astray
Left gleaming vacuous
An emboldened decay
Left gleaming vacuous
An emboldened decay
Adjusting my perception
To combat the loneliness of desolation
Accepting a fate fabricated
By the hand of my own isolation
I stare into this abyss
Torment of a hollowness endless
Flickering like the flame in the wind
Light diminishing vying to mend
I grasp for time
And plead for reason
Exhausted from the climb
Dying to feel the change of seasons x2
Hollowness holds me in its caress
Completely stagnant in duress
To be brightened and enlightened,
By the course of knowledge and sacrifice
Bolstered by the compromise
Omniscience internalized
Culling every ounce of will
From every bone chilled

FALSIFY

ODISSIA: "FALSIFIED"
You speak in cliche tongues,
Dragging these over used syllables through,
a filter of pretentiousness,
Unoriginality at the top of your lungs.
Bated breath carries the weight of consonants,
And vowels as if they meant something more than your shallow heart.
A vile regurgitation of quips and phrases.
A contemptible imitation of ideals,
Molded by someone else's success,
Neatly positioned by plunderous hands,
Stereotyping what you claim to make anew.
You speak in cliche tounge
liquidating every trite sentence and trivial idiom.
Soaking any reputability with imitation,
Emotion replaced by an all encompassing apathy.
Streamlining the counterfeit,
Consolidating fraudulence × 2

ARROGANCE

ODISSIA: "ARROGANCE"
A slanted perception
Boasting to uncaring faces
Killing all sense of reception
Clinging to an ideal lost in all places
Careless contentment your saving grace
Unhinged is the frame of your face
Silencing words just so you don't have to hear them
Just one more glass so you don't have to feel them
Another drink to get you by
Another lie to hide behind
Another bottle to buy some time
Just another failing mind ×2
A slanted perception
Boasting to uncaring faces
Killing all sense of reception
Clinging to an ideal lost in all places
Lost in all places
Envious and contemptuous
Empty and impetuous
The addict mindset
The addict mindless ×2
Another drink to get you by
Another lie to hide behind
Another bottle to buy some time
Just another failing mind ×2
Just another failing mind x2

SOLIDARITY

ODISSIA: "SOLIDARITY"
An underlying sensation of attachment to another consciousness
An indivisible bond
Searching, seeking, reaching, feeling for something so anomalous
So anomalous
Subtly a voracious emptiness encompassess the better part of my soul
Sinking bleeding contending to be entirely whole
But an everlasting gift
That this wound has imparted
There will always be a volition to be fostered and guarded
Suddenly a presence and finally I've felt it
The response and reciprocation of that energy returned
Only by a chance a passing glance a fleeting glimpse of the past
An unknown memory lapsed
Undistorted my perception at last clear
At last clear
An underlying sensation of attachment to another consciousness
An indivisible bond
Searching, seeking, reaching, feeling for something so anomalous
Eternally connected and floating weightless

ODISSIA: "DESPAIR"
If I gasped for air would you bring me to shore
If I asked you would you breathe for me once more
Could you stand by me and mend what was torn
Or have you left me beaten and broken to mourn
The air that I breathe is nothing more than the salt of the sea
Bitter and bleak the taste of entropy
Draining lungs and burning blood
Fleeing thoughts of memories
Raught with the way things were promised to be
The shallows of my heart give way to the depths of despair
The undertow of deceit has left me alone with this current of disrepair
Tongue has turned to sand
Words dissipate embathed in deep blue
Within restless waves my body is imbued
Collating my essence in the darkest hues
If gasped for air would you bring me to shore
If I asked you would you breathe for me once more
Malcontent spreads the vastness of this ocean
Could you stand by me and mend what was torn
Or have you left me beaten and broken to mourn
Broken to mourn
Writhing tides paint the shoreline black
Corporeal motions like weighted hands push me back
