I'm going insane

You had me since that night
There hasn't been a doubt in my mind
I never questioned our vibes, but I found a reason to try
 
I know that you're  beautiful beautiful
I know that you're wonderful wonderful
I know that you're pretty much gone 
You weren't here for long and you won't be here for me

Alone again in a sea of faces but, how can I be alone when loneliness is always right by my side
I know that you're  beautiful beautiful
I know that you're wonderful wonderful
I know that you're pretty much gone 
You weren't here for long and you

Your just, You're just a distant light from a shattered sky
 
No answer I get nothing

You know that you're beautiful
You know that you're wonderful
 
I don’t know, what you're hearing
Honestly, I don’t care, who you're being
I know you seem upset and you must have been dreaming if you thought that we make it out without catching these feelings
You're pretty much gone you weren't there for too long

Caught A Thought

Been searching for my reflection
In a shattered rearview mirror
The broken glass is taunting me
Haunting me
Lets play a game of misdirection
We can Pretend that I outgrew fear
Grip the shards and watch my fingers bleed

Oh
I don't wanna know, I don't wanna know
What's hiding under
All the lies I told
To escape my history
I don't wanna feel, I don't wanna feel
This aching hunger
For all the dreams I sold
All the dreams that I sold

Leave the pain
Cause I don't think I deserve this
No, I don't think I deserve
Bite my tongue and hold on tight
Shut my eyes from all the light
Close the door and lock myself away.
Another mask on the face I've hidden
Made of pain that I pushed away
Spent my life with my voice imprisoned

I don't wanna know, I don't wanna know
What's hiding under
All the lies I told
To escape my history
I don't wanna feel, I don't wanna feel
This aching hunger
For all the dreams I sold
in exchange for memories

I'm tired of the war between my ears
And hiding from my darkest fears
Threes nothing left to fear

Just hold my hand
There's nothing left to fear
I'll forget you on my own
No clemency for the weak
I know what I can control
You won't find
No mercy from me


I don't wanna know, I don't wanna know
What's hiding under
All the lies I told
To escape my history
I don't wanna feel, I don't wanna feel
This aching hunger
For all the dreams I sold

Just keep your fucking memories

Clemency

Man On Fire is the end of a 3 part story. This man inside that cries out from the inside when he's had enough of the games. Burning from the inside out until he gets home and cuts off the world. When I come home I pick up my guitar and play something to get me in a better mindset. "This man alone this man alright" - No Man In Sight (Lyric from the 1st in the Man series)

The song  "Wait" delves into introspection, vulnerability, and the repercussions of misplaced affection.

Wait

The imagery of rain making ripples and waves on the surface represents the transformative nature of emotions. Some experiences may fade away, while others leave a lasting impact, symbolized by the waves.

Overall, the song explores the complexity of emotions, the challenges of navigating relationships, and the need to find clarity and understanding amidst the confusion. The repetition of certain lines adds emphasis and emotional intensity, making it a reflective and powerful piece.

"The Comedown" narrates a reflective journey through the highs and lows of life. The lyrics describe the singer's acknowledgment of personal growth and the realization of the fleeting nature of time.
