Far from solace, even in the warmest embrace. Tie me to each mistake that I have made.
Clinged to nothing but a frail hope. Stuck in recurrent patterns of this agony. Every scale leaks, I am immersed in a darker mold of pain.
Relapsed, bound to happen. Immersed in a darker mold of pain.
Half of my time was lost in a breath. Distant from the grasp of presence. Ripped to shreds, beyond anyone's reach. An endless cycle of woe. Choke me until you hear my final breath.
No closure from emptiness.
Existing with a noose around this neck. I have fallen into despair.
Knees to chest, I am immersed in a darker mold of pain.

A steady decline that has no end in sight. Images burst that I will be burnt by time. Leave me crumbled in oblivion.
Dilated with horror down this deepest trench.
Anchored to dishonesty. Sinking deeper into a world where we only pretend.
My another desperate attempt to escape from a sunless gulch. Yet, a raw void twitches on the loosened rope. Obliterate any part of me if I still happen to occupy your mind.
Walking forever in tandem with disconsolation. If only my bare hands were enough to hold an avalanche off.

Binar

Menatap hitam langit yang berjelaga,
yang tak pernah bernyawa
Meresapi dingin rintik keterasingan
yang telah menyerupa seorang kawan
Seluruh dermaga ringkih terbakar:
Selamat tinggal, keabadian yang fana
Ku jangkarkan kakiku
di atas takdir yang koyak diterpa badai
Tergoncang amuk ombak ketiadaan
Aku akan tetap menengadah
Binar kehidupan akan menyerbak
di atas kubur tak bernama
Ku serahkan hidupku pada belit ketidakpastian
yang menarikku menuju palung nestapa
Binar kehidupan akan menyerbak
di atas kubur tak bernama

Winds of change solidified each layer from these self-inflicted wounds. Distance is the hardest since I remain inside a void. Qualms in nearly everything.
Let the agony ensue, now that this fragile posture is unreliable. Cloaked in faded patterns of a memory. Nothing left to offer between these gaps.
Disappear into absence. Calloused from wanting too much. Uncertainty has brought me to the edge of a cliff.
Tempted quietly by goodbyes, when I know I'll stay here forever.
Close to fleeing again. Days go further slipping through our fingers. Be here when my skin falls away.
Without direction - in chains, grappling with all unforeseen. Let the anguish transpire. Vain attempts as for everything is lost. Nothing remains from this.
Shattered by a reflection of what we used to be.
In the result from winds of change, you emerged unfazed. Whereas, I am still tussling to find comfort in the arms of a distant lover. Miles of separation that I cannot seem to overcome. I might be lost in echoes, but I could never belong to anyone else.
In the result from winds of change, you emerged unfazed.

Echoes Return
03:46
|
|||
|
Decades of silence. Your shadow grows deeper than blood. Secreted behind a shield of denial. Warm delusion pushes through the gaps. Echoes return each time I extend my voice.
Rooms too quiet without the heat. Found my outsides thin with one last pale wave. Wind rushing debris around. You are bound to the coveted sanctuary.
Echoes return each time I extend my voice.

Where No Light Dwells
02:53
|

Bury me deep so I know how much I have failed. Untidy reveries do not seem to end.
Circled in by blue. Left further behind - a familiar fate. Plummeting into the depths where no light dwells.
When your traces fade in, I'm always drawn towards the dark end.
Words don't bear weight once two figures have distincted.
Bury me deep so I know how much I have failed.
Severed more than ties. Refraining me from any progress. You left for greener pastures with a sheer lie. All things stagnate on a dull ground. Prolonging the enmity.

As the absence eviscerates, penitence has tightened its grip around me. An undertow of former times, one regret that will dig my grave.
It has died for all we know. Corroded like steel, never meant to linger. Falling between the seams. My life remains crumbled in the depths of woe.
The poison makes its way to the seed. A violent lurch that I still cannot avoid. Torture me for the rest of my wretched days.
Pull the strings around my spine. Some of them are left attached to you.
Found no elation at leaving this undone. Trudging forward to a grim tomorrow. Rot along with your name. As delicate as it gets, I am suffering with no option.
My skin is exposed, in lieu of yours.

Dispirited Voice
02:45
|

Dispirited voice of mine remains unheard.
Still clasped empty. The mind blanks at the glare. Nothing will come around from this soundless dark.

I should have bled myself to death without anyone knowing. Measuring every loss in a dismal chamber where I reside.
Unable to fathom any of this since a colorless deep fog swept almost everything. No one will identify my quiet despair.
Hidden knives, wrought of hate. Restrained by trails of misery.
A repeated scheme that only inflicts more pain. Like a nail that penetrates my chest. Forever is such a long stretch.
To brighten up each corner you used to fill is never easy. Unbridled by the whispers of heaven, I need to accept what I know.

Absence of Hues
03:12
|
|||
|
Vanished on the brink of a boil. Derelict crutch remains unpicked. Secluded in disrepair, as we enter oblivion. Withered due to the absence of hues. Holding on to what we know that cannot stay.
Keep me in the dark until you have nowhere else to turn.
Abandon me with nothing. Vague, not meant to fill this void. No matter how hard we squint, what remains from here is a memory.
Whisper of a thrill, I am still strangled by light. Lost you after sunlight outshone everything. You return only when there's nowhere else to go. Left trembling under the fear of being replaced.
Pursuing solace in this uncertainty. You return only when there's nowhere else to go.

The Cycle Begins Again…
05:05
|
|||
|
A dissonance between two worlds, yet on the same side of the broken.
The cycle will begin again once we accept loss.
In an existence we cannot comprehend, the cycle will begin again.
A road not worth escaping, formed by dust and blood. Our cognition is constrained by fear. I will still be clinging to this frailest form of hope. Be sure to catch my fall when the resistance in me starts to fade.
The cycle will begin again.
In an existence we cannot comprehend, the cycle will begin again.
Mostly I was nowhere to be found. Chased silhouettes to no avail. Now leave me to grow in a place of acceptance. Cleanse me from all these resentments.
The cycle will begin again once we accept loss
