LYRICS:
(verse)
A starting gun
It sets me off before I run
Wind to my back
My feet are pounding off the track

Heart’s beating fast
The air I breathe in cannot last
Prepare the runway
I’m here to win, not just a game

I’ve left the ground behind
Just for a moment in time
Fall into bed of sand
This didn’t go as planned

CHORUS:
Running hard, a quarter inch too Poor
Stayed on top, then I fell so far  
Looking back I don’t know what went wrong
These wraps like shackles, have held me down so long

VERSE 2:
Face to face, again with the pit
Its gaze is cold and conniving
I just wish I could look to the skies
As I take to my routine of weightless glide

I Stuck the landing wrong, ankle has folded
Like Icarus flying high, I am grounded 
screaming out as I'm carried aside, 
the frigid ice cannot heal my pride

bed of sand

another song done for a project. not my proudest work writing wise but it sounds pretty good at least. enjoy!

lyrics:
you were entrusted with a gift
of which no mortal man can see
and you were given out a task
keep it sealed eternally
 
these things inside, howling with the sirens cry
your curiosity is not worth your broken pride
leave the darkness buried deep, left to rot with time
the power that you seek is not born of the sublime

you live your life on the edge of the blade
was what you had, not enough?
the cost of progress comes at a deadly price
the terms and conditions have sold off your life

you were given but one task
so was that too much to follow
i hope you’re happy now you’ve doomed us all
i pray your days are filled with sorrow

your roots run shallow and the well is dry
gaze with horror as you look upon your blackened sky
i hope you understand your privilege
the joy to witness sin incarnate

why did you look inside
was it hubris is your brain fried
why did you look inside
its too late now, you cant close the lid

a cool little track i worked on for a group project but i sat around on it and never uploaded it. i've omitted the vocals as i found the song spoke well for itself.

this is a remake of one of my favorite songs that i did a couple years ago and never got around to sharing, but i released the original about 4 years ago now so i thought it was fitting. enjoy!
