Chapter One : Harsh Realities

Fit For A King // The Fire Inside 02:55
lyrics
I embrace death with arms wide open. I feel the electric force through my body and escape from my fingertips like a slow motion lightning storm. You know the world is ending when the horses lay down to die. It's raining birds and fires are spreading across the sky. I wonder what its going to feel like as these planets collide. I definitely didn't think I'd be so calm about the end of days but here I am enjoying this horizon in a haze. Its sad that I didn't appreciate it until now, when it'll be gone forever. I really hope this is just a dream. Will the world rebuilds its self. Maybe I'm dying and this is my future. I'm cursed if there is reincarnation. What's sad is that those mountains were once undersea. If I do return maybe I won't take it for granted and try to better me. Who am I kidding I just want to kill again Pull the switch, I'm sick of this life There's no second chance

E.I.O.S. // Karma Will Find You 02:36
lyrics
A force that holds me back. The will that presses onward .Is this what I signed up for? Here in this dark, in this void My breath echoes, deafens, and wanes. Even in endless space, I'm still capable of getting stuck, just my luck. It's always been so hard for me to stay calm when things are out of my hands. (I'm grasping at stars, stalled arrow to the Gods) This is not how I imagined I would die. The most terrifying and amazing moment of my life. I've reached the splendor of the moon Heavens, I just need to make it back. It's one simple task, just one small step. A thousand days of practice and a minute to forget. I'm here all alone, with only Sol to catch my fall. As the siren rings its last call

Vagabond // Streets On Repeat 04:17
lyrics
Know wonder my feet hurt. they've hit rock bottom so many times that its misshaped my feet that pave the future. my feet that have been walking the thinnest line in the darkest of nights. I wish I had hot coals to walk through so I could atleast see better. So I could atleast smell burning leather from these weathered feet. If these feet ever get to touch grass again, I hope its as soft as my heart once was. I don't think I could take any more discomfort, but then again isn't that's what scar tissue is for? I know some wear it as a badge of pride, however this definitely something i want to hide. I just hope I can hang on to this ride and weather the storm. Cause I once.... These shoes that I'm wearing feel like cement, and It's as I'm at the bottom of a lake. the pressure keeps on building and building, I sure am hoping it will break. So here I am sitting at rock bottom looking up for the sun. I'd shoot out this moon if I could but I've got too much water in this gun. The gun powder has lost all of its effects so the bullets can not move. I wish I knew some magic or some new tunes so I could get off this groove. Maybe crawl my way inside of a shell to protect my nonexistent spine
