i can relate, “thats when i realized something had gone wrong” is such an underrated line in this track because anyone whos lost a family member knows how it felt right before they found out their family member had passed. thanks for makin this kevin

track 6 of middle of the stage

lyrics:
I'm never easy
Your love could never bring me out
So I'll complete me
I'll seem real good to be around
Put on my first paint
and let my most sincere one drown
This is my worst play
I am the king but still a clown

I'm never easy
Your love could never bring me out
So I'll complete me
I'll seem real good to be around
Put on my first paint
and let my most sincere one drown
This is my worst play
I am the king but still a clown

I'm wishing myself goodnight again.
I have too much pride to admit
that everyone who feeds me rage
just wants to wants to see me
change

Why is no one paying attention to m-

track 1 of middle of a stage

lyrics:
I've been working several months now
To make something of your praise
I don't know why I feel so rushed now
But I'm counting down the days
I can't really put this lightly
Maybe life was made like this to spite me
But I can't praise you
Cause you're a little bit too much like me

And
No one told me all my
Idols were just faking
All of it to seem more
Super can't I-can't I
Lie? There's no perfect
Guy. How upsetting!
I would at least just
Like a guide, but

There's no guide, and I
Still wanna praise
I feel like I'm in
The middle of a stage
The middle of a stage

And all around me, there are lights
They surround me like the night
Is this real? Is this life?
Is this what purgatory's like?

No one told me all my
Idols were just faking
All of it to seem more
Super can't I-can't I
Lie? There's no perfect
Guy. How upsetting!
I would at least just
Like a guide, but

But when you come
To a conclusion like that
It's like
You feel like you're on the wrong side. You know?
Um. But yeah, that's more recent
If you want to listen to something a little more...
Dated
I got this
I made it like a month after it happened
No point in not playing it
Here

track 2 of middle of a stage

lyrics:
Pause Pau 
Oh my god
Can't even play simple audio without doing the wrong thing
Okay wait
There

I can feel my ego leaving
That's a telltale of departure
Line is flat: we hear no breathing
Truth is crackin' at my armor
I run to my mirror and say that
I can make reality cause
In these times it's sad to see
But I lose rationality

Stiffness in the hands: another sign that Rigamortis kicked in
Lack of any fervor, any storm. His tendons weren't lifted
I admit that in persistence I predicted he'd be with us
In the couple minutes when the hotline said they'd bring assistance

At this point, I wasn't sure if I could lie for any longer
I would have to be the stronger man and try to not preserve
My awkward nerves were telling me, "He didn't die. He's not a martyr"
What a crazy sentence starter. Didn't get me any farther though

You ever knew a man was dying
Ever seen the skin get colder
Ever seen the droopy eyelids
Ever had to lift the boulder off your
Chest knowing your childhood
Wouldn't ever be the same
He won't ever see me older now

Well, I answered your initial question
But, um, looks like we got more time, so
I could play you part of the extra if you want
This stupid thi

departure

track 5 of middle of a stage

lyrics:
Break all I have
Cut my bones in half
Let go of the paranoia
Inclination never changes so you might as well enjoy it
In the morning there's tobacco in my chambers and
By afternoon I'm wasted off the finest in my basement
Where I come from the rich men did cigars
And drank every day so I know I'm going far
What can i say? I'm just a product of environment
Designing kids to be at boarding schools until they're ninety-six
And you expect them to be bright at socializing
I assure you that they're not unless they've poisoned all their vitals like
Me

Can you stop smoking every morning
I understand that you want peace
But I am scared for you and
Right now it is too soon. I just want to
Sleep

I know it's hard but just keep
Pushing because, oh man, I just wanna
Sleep and i know that your intentions
May be perfect, but
I just wanna sleep

And
You know deep down that I'm right
You just don't wanna change
These substances will catch up soon
You'll never be the same
You'll never be the same
You'll never be the same

But I was too scared to tell him that
So, yeah
He just kept doing it

consumption

track 9 of middle of a stage

lyrics:
I'm always inside of a crossfire
I hear it past my walls
There is a war between both of the ones
Who've let me live at all
Can't you see
You're my example of what love should be
Honestly, I thank you for showing me
Everything I never want to be

Well, uh
I think I got enough out of this session
I'm, um
I'm gonna go out now if that's fine
I don't know why you haven't said a word to me since you asked your initial question
But, uh, I digress
Um, alright
I'm gonna head out now
Bye. Thank you
Still nothing? No you're welcome, or
Okay, uh
I'm just gonna assume that I'm okay to walk out
And that you're not going to call me or anything
Bye

crossfire

track 10 of middle of a stage

lyrics:
They say
You're never coming back
You'll never have a dad
Refrain
I'll never give them practice
But the words hurt where they have been
Maintain
I'm sleeping on your mattress
Like I always have been
(Ignore that voice crack)
Okay 
Maybe I miss you bad
Maybe I miss you dad
Oh no

A bit after my birthday
We celebrated for
I was ready for winter
I only wanted more
I woke up to the screaming
Coming from my mom
And that's when I had realized
That something had gone wrong
Oh no

But look at me now
I'm doing so great
Even without
You
I'm making these songs 
And though not for long
It's all been without you
I kind of feel guilty
This computer you built me
I wouldn't have this without you
Sure, I did all the steering
But I wouldn't do a thing
If you never taught me all your little facts about engineering
Couldn't have done it without you

without you

you can take away my ego but you cannot take my dignity!

STAGE SET (prod. junktown)

longest track i've ever released. wow! soundcloud demolllisssheeed the quality. the lyric sheet is too large for this description, so if you want that, dm me or something and i'll put it on genius.

two fictitious stories (alongside mine)

the pageeee

Oh, oh no, don’t play, don’t go
Oh no, I’m froze, uh oh, oh no

What you mean when you say I played God?
I think there’s something wrong with your style 
Let’s collapse, this place is too foul 
I’m so gone man so don’t call me up 
Still rotting in the cut but I don’t give a fuck
Stuck all in a rut but ima go up
If your excuse is that nothing matters anyways
I’ll just ask you to move the fuck out my way

Live your own life & get the fuck out of my way
You never really cared about the shit I got to say
You're disappointing, you say it to my face
Never should've met you but the past I should erase
You make me think that it's myself I'm supposed to blame
Smashing my head into the wall until it breaks
I won't stop until I see it chip & flake
Cover the wall with my own bloody paint

Out my mind this shit couldn’t be real
I can’t think my heads stuck in the field
Get closer to the new flesh tower wheel
I see your eyes wide open, don’t come near me
I’m still sober off the acid & the thc
Walk up to the spot like a ghost they can’t see me
Close to the edge you know I’m fucking crazy man
A sword in your hand but you act like you need saved fam?

And I watched from afar for your sake
Spilled the glass all over your lace
It was true it’s not fate 
The truth is sitting in your face 
What I reap is what I sow
Your message was written in the snow 
Come crawling back as the time goes
On and on is we all know x2

What the fuck is wrong with me now
Bright pain in the sky it calls me
I’m rotting inside I don’t come around 
Voice of carrion reach to me x2
