Fight/Flight 03:05
Not again, it’s shown its face and now you’re lost for the words. Like last time, it’s shown its face and you know you should stand tall. Speechless, tongue-tied. Cornered with nowhere to hide. Barren, inside. Two choices: fight or take flight. My mind is telling me to fly, but I will stay and fight. Don’t let your demons drag you down. So tell me why so scared of this. You know this moment won’t be your last. Eyes wide, caught in the headlights. Mouth dry, no remedy to help me. Lost my will to get through this. Greatness, lives on the other side of fear. You have only two choices. I can’t, I can’t, I can’t stand up. I push, I push, I will push on. No-one can stop me. Fight or flight. Don’t let your demons drag you down. So tell me why so scared of this. You know this moment won’t be your last. So tell me why so scared of this. You know this moment won’t kill you.

I hate everything I am. Not everything I was, or anything I could be. I just overthink, a shadow’s following me. From time to time, I just can’t see the light. I hate me, I hate this, I hate everything. Feeling like there’s no escape. No exit from what my mind dictates. From time to time, I just can’t see the light. I hate me, I hate this, I hate everything. You’re in sight, it’s baring down on you. Put up your barriers, but it will always break through. You try and try, but you can’t escape. Your time’s up. You’ve run out. . There’s no light. There’s nothing. There’s no light. I’m lost in my own thoughts. Racing round my head. Can’t break free, I can’t break free. Consumed by paranoia and dread. Can’t get this pressure to stop, stop. It’s been creeping into every aspect of life. So slowly, it haunts me. Consumed by paranoia and dread. Can’t get this pressure to stop, stop. You’re in sight, it’s baring down on you. Put up your barriers, but it will always break through. You try and try, but you can’t escape. Your time’s up. You’ve run out. I’m too ashamed to see, what has become of me. I’ve been strong for so long, but this can’t go on. I’m too ashamed to see, what has become of me. I don’t want to burn out, I need to burn bright. Burn bright. Don’t burn out. Burn bright. Don’t burn out. I hate me. I hate this. I hate everything.

Swan 03:46
This is not deja vu. These moments I will review. Starts with pure confusion, leading to delusion. Feeling like a failure, I just can’t seem to get a win. What was nailed upon the door had me falling through the floor. And I can’t get back up to where I was before. All of this time, I never questioned my own mind. Where did it all go wrong? This is not deja vu. These moments I will review. And now I’m trapped inside, the reasons are not clear. Thoughts running wild fuelling anger and fear. I’m filled with anger and fear. How did I end up here? My life is falling apart. Crushing me. I can’t make sense of it. I am aware that I am not the only one to have something so good turn out to be so bad. It’s happened before, and it’ll happen again. Will it ever end? ‘Cause on reflection I see light illuminate what was dark in my life. These tough times can only lead to better days. Better days. These tough times only lead to better days. These are the times that define us We’re all just hopelessly waiting our turn It’s like that life’s always bringing me down But I know there will be lessons to learn It takes courage and hindsight to see Whatever will be will be There’s no such thing as a clean victory Try to look forward, not at history I know, I know. Things will work out eventually I know. I know. Won’t let this black swan destroy me.

Don’t waste what is left. If this is who we are, our lives written in the stars. Can we find our way in the dark? Watching old life pass, through these young eyes. It’s easy to see how opportunity passes by. This post-life, cold stasis found. Don’t want to end up like you, forever find new ground. What happened to the spark you had when you were younger? You lost that hunger Engine stalled, stuck on pause. You’re about to lose it all. What is this curse that you’ve been placed under? You’re not yourself Look inside, break free of your chains Reignite the flame. Don’t give up. Life goes on To bigger and better things. Our wildest dreams. Are only achieved. When you truly believe. So don’t lose hope. Got to show. When the world turns cold. You can make it on your own. You can make it on your own. I want out… From this wasted life, that I’ve been living. From this living hell that’s been unforgiving. To my family, I’ll be at peace. To my brothers, please don’t forget me. You can’t tell me how to live my life, you’ll only waste your breath.

There was a time when we would look back At the memories we all know. Dust off all the old albums Tinted with sepia and monochrome. Gather friends round to laugh at The crazy things that we used to do. Our best times are always treasured The worst times just don’t make it through. Kept safe, behind glass doors Locked away for a century. No purpose without sentiment Just another accessory. Time, time changes us from the people that we used to be. This life is too short lived to get hung upon memories. So we sit, update, ‘cause we don’t want to miss a thing. Get likes, feel loved and wait for the warmth it brings. We have cured amnesia. We’ve created time travel. Live our lives through screens and wires. Download. Our lives. If we wake up suddenly with no memory. At least we know we’re not lost in reverie. Close all existence and look forward to when we die. Live on forever, through respiratory AI. We’re all dying, from our very first breath. Disease, cancer, we’ve not much time left. Our digital lives, controlling me. Our digital lives, it’s all I can see. Our digital lives, no more sanity. Our digital lives, taking over me. Taking over me. We know, on our death beds, we look back. On our death beds, we look back.
