The Things You Need The Most

If I knew what I was doing,
I would’ve walked a different path
But I didn’t.

“Life is not accommodating to fools.”
Yeah… that one hits deep.

Hard lessons carve you clean,
Young hearts burn where I have been.
Everything I thought was right
Looking back, it sounds almost funny tonight.

Back in the day, I had a plan,
Tried to follow it the best I can
Got derailed by toxic hands,
Lost thirty years to circumstance.

Can I just restart my life?
Go back and make it right?
Not follow this broken trail
Oh my God… how did I fail?

Why?
Why?
Has this all grown so hard for me?
In the later years of life,
Nothing’s coming easily.

TELL ME WHY
WHY I KEEP BREATHING IN THIS PAIN!

TELL ME HOW
HOW I KEEP FALLING DOWN AGAIN!

I’ve bled for years with nothing gained,
Drowned my hope in acid rain,
But STILL I RISE, again,
But still I stand inside the flame!

Break me
TAKE ME
But you will NEVER erase me!

I’m not done
NOT YET!
My heart beats back against regret!

This is the moment
THIS IS THE SOUND
Of a broken man
Who REFUSES
TO STAY DOWN.

Back in the day, I had a plan,
Held it tightly as a younger man
Got dragged off course by storms I let in,
Now thirty years on…
I can’t find the plan again.

But sometimes a new soul appears
Bright enough to cut through years.
Makes me pause upon the brink…
Makes me breathe…
Makes me think.

Think about the possibilities.

Is this person meant for me?
What fate’s been thrown in front of me?
Am I too scared to take the chance
This single, fleeting shot at romance?

Do I reach for it?
Do I get denied?
I tell myself “never again,”
But I lie… yeah, I always lie.

’Cause I know I’ll try again
Follow my heart again,
Look the fool again,
Make the same mistakes
Again and again…

If I knew what I was doing,
I would've done it differently
But hell, I don’t know what’s going on,
Feels like I'm asleep at the con.

It all comes down to sensibility:
Stay in your lane, but don’t refrain
From building your life
Into something worth the pain.

You never know what’s on the horizon,
So buckle in, hold on, keep rising.
And if you can’t provide
Don’t fear, just survive.

’Cause the only other option…
Is the eject seat.
Take the knife,
Fade out into history
An easy out, some people say.

I’ve walked through storms alone,
But I still stand… I still grow.
The past can take its pound of flesh,
But it won’t tell me where to go.

A flicker in the darkest night,
A hand that kept my soul upright
A reason now to stay alive,
A reason still…
To try.

If I could live it all again…
Maybe I’d still make every sin
’Cause every wrong and every fall
Led me here…
To feel it all.

I’m still here.
And I’m still rising.

Despite my Fear.

Life Lessons

BURN MY CAGE

“Convergence” captures the moment when everything begins to line up a little too perfectly.
Prophecies, world events, and unseen forces start overlapping with an almost mathematical precision. The signs are no longer distant or symbolic — they are stacking, accelerating, and folding into one another. History feels as if it’s being pulled toward a single, unavoidable point.
Most of the world sees coincidence.
You feel alignment.
Something ancient is tightening its grip on reality, drawing timelines, beliefs, and destinies toward the same center. The air itself feels charged, as if the universe is preparing for a transition no one is meant to notice.
This is the moment before the shift —
the instant when everything is still technically intact…
but already irreversibly changing.
🎧 Sound & Style
Musically, “Convergence” blends tension and scale:
layered atmospheric textures
steady, escalating rhythms that feel inevitable
melodic themes that repeat and evolve like patterns snapping into place
subtle dissonance beneath moments of calm
a cinematic rise that never fully resolves
The track is designed to feel like standing at the center of an unseen alignment — powerful, ominous, and unavoidable.
💬 For the Listener
This song is for the ones who notice patterns before they become obvious —
who feel when something fundamental is shifting beneath the surface of everyday life.
In the story of this album, you are the only one who senses the convergence.
You aren’t reacting to fear — you’re responding to recognition.
If something feels too precise, too coordinated, too inevitable…
it’s because it is.
“Convergence” asks the question no one else is asking yet:
What happens when prophecy stops unfolding naturally
and begins to lock into place?
📘 Album Context
Track 3 is the final moment of subtlety in the album’s arc.
After Final Days and Message of Heaven, this track marks the point where the universe quietly prepares for a transition hidden from humanity, Heaven, and even history itself. The forces behind prophecy are aligning — not toward chaos, but toward control.
What follows will look like destiny…
but it won’t be.
