Flightless, but carefree as a bird Blissfully unaware, undeterred And then they came to bring it all down Without a voice, nary a sound Their words, they meant nothing Just frivolous intonation And there I was to see it all fall Violently they tore it all My lands, they meant nothing Burnt to ashes Flightless, but carefree as a bird? I know more than you think Just take me on my word I can make it in this world Without your shallow games Happy to be alone You ain't no fucking saint Breaking hearts and breaking minds is all you can live for Moving on is much more difficult said than done And then they came to bring it all down No more voice, no more sound Their words, they don't exist In frivolous damnation

Behold Mother Nature The sorrow and the joy that it brings The joys of the better days and the sorrows it can sing The grass is always greener on the other side Ostracized of life, no more No more Watch the sun crack the sky Banish clouds and winter bright Watch the sun part its light Spring is nigh, spring is nigh Behold Father Time Passing like clockwork The maker of the days The end of it all Watch the sun crack the sky Winter's plight is now a'flight Watch the sun part its light Spring has come, spring has come

Amaranthine light shines through the trees Shrouded in wind, will do as it please I know my path, a hollow destiny Forever now I will set it free Escape from this vengeful storm My life is forever worn Ounce for ounce, blood for blood Now you'll see why I'm under mud Why I'm under mud Why I'm under mud Why I'm under mud [Chorus] Into darkness I will see Why the earth and I were not meant to be I can't see past this blasphemy That my life would surely be Amaranthine light shines through the trees Shrouded in wind, will do as it please I knew my path, a hollow destiny Forever how it shall always be Covered in more dirt than anyone is worth A life torn no more Pound for pound, blood for blood Now you'll see why I'm under mud Why I'm under mud Why I'm under mud Why I'm under mud [Chorus x2]

Days pass into emotional downfall You seem to wonder if you've seen it all Yearning for a love that your parents never show Shall destroy the life that you've always known A knight in shining armor, or so you thought he was Would steal your fucking heart and break it all at once He leaves you all alone, pregnant and alone Left to the dogs to rot and wither away What to do? How to see this world in front of you? A child in hand and an arrow in your heart All he wanted was to fulfill his carnal lust You meant nothing to him, just another speck of dust

Burning bridges like destroying lives Will leave both in a shambles Sometimes it's best to run away and savor this life alone A fate worse than death passes these days like dust Floating around all senseless without meaning And then you come, I yearn to hold you Without you I wouldn't know who to turn to A fate worse than death Don't hold your breath Burn another bridge to evade the consequence Reunited nevermore It's time to cut all life support and drain the wounds forever sore You've all heard this song of loneliness The sun will set and never rise again

Watch it softly fade away To the point of impossibility Nothing's left All is dead Feel the wrath of winter's dread Chilling cold Mount of ice If mother nature could only suffice The only green is the evergreen Blowing cautious in the frigid breeze What is there to look forward to When the world is as bleak as me? No more games Let it all fade away Death and famine is all I face Who could see beauty in her disgrace Bitter cold and its defiling ways A way to put an end to days What is there to look forward to When the world is as bleak as me? -when the world is as bleak as me?

Old and rusty stuff. Original 2012 release uploaded for archival. The 2015 release that used to reside here is being updated further (and purged of any ill-gotten plugins) and will be uploaded to a new album with a new release date, TBD.

Does not contain instrumentals, as I never rendered instrumentals back then. Also, limited to 16-bit as it was ripped from an audio CD, and I no longer have the projects in the state they were rendered in.
