I still fear
The collapse
Determinating factors
Outside of my hands
Do i deny their existence
or do I accept every aspect of blame
As we press beyond this darkness
We test our sense of purpose
And all ive found is the path has grown so narrow
Persuing the summit
My tracks already faded
But We have found a singular fixation
On the truths we want created
I still embrace
The things that deem as my saving grace
As my saving grace
I never deny the fact that my path is problematic
I sacrifice the immediate in the face of the potential
Forgive the fact that as a result I have grown so distant
This is the only life I can lead
It's the only one worth living

Until now
We were Tethered by relation and past
We drift and are cast
out to a scheme set fit in
It wouldnt be a struggle
But our essence tells us something else to believe in
Now is the time for me to fight
Confront the fact that
the only bones that i have are broken
Youve held it all together
But i'll loosen up your secrets
I am your conscience digging at you with guilt
Digging at this sense of complacency
Smoldering embers
Remnants of worlds weve seen extinguished
You wont see me flicker
You wont see me fade
Its my fate to be extinguished
But there's more to life than my fate
Along the grounds are trails of ash,
remains of the burning bridges
A reminder that all we are will eventually be nothing
In a world of only cut throats
You are told to round your edges
Just to make it easier
For you to slip through the cracks
I never asked to be sent here
I never asked to shape these outcomes
I never asked to face myself
But its relentless
Every question
A flickering match
Doomed to be extinquished
By the winds from which it came

Attrition

Once again i'm falling short
And i'm the only one to notice
My expectations are my prison
The source of my attrition
Its the reason I feel like a stranger to myself
Dismembered Between what I feel and what i want
Why does it always fall apart
The coherence of my will and my want
This dibilitating pressure has had me under for too long
Just to face the ghost of my old self again
This familiar touch always breaks through
I'll call myself coward
In the face of my old oath
I Never took the time to imagine
the weight in what i chose
I Welcome My old ghosts
In these times of weakness
Shattered across this darkness
I regress to youthful hatred
I welcome my collapse
I am Shattered
I am shattered

The Relentless tide comes crashing in
to smother the flame in my hands
Will I ever know solace?
I lose sight of my flame
In another course of indecision
i am caught between two worlds
But one is here and one is missing
And As my mind is spread thin
So is my conscience
This purgatory shows no sign of my solace
What to keep what to abandon
I still can't see
I still dont know
I guess its time for me
To stop
looking for answers
Now and then i still ,collapse under the weight of what it means to be free
Wasting time is just a symptom of this weakness
When i force myself back up
Its just to spare myself the guilt
Of wasting away
I cant waste my blessings
i wont waste my blessings

Please let me in
You knumb yourself
Youre apathetic
while your aspirations are cast aside
You know youve felt this sense of purpose
But you allow the world to nullify
Every moment youve felt alive
Don't let this break you
Don't let this break you
Youre in controll of everything
Of everything
Thats holding you back
The words rung true
I, my maker
Cruel and judgemental
I am my own beytayer
I've learned my Strength resides
In my attidude and nothing else
Silence the relentless voice seeking out
The everflowing pathway flooded with the others
While it seems This Current provides some certainty and comfort
temporary solace is all really it has to offer
Don't let its persistence overcome yours
Your resolve.
Your only weapon,
It's built with cause
your one true compass
You wont seee
me mourn my purpose
I'll keep it standing strong
I, my maker
Do not abandon me
Dont leave me in the dark
My biggest issues
Are self betrayal
An unruly mind
A lack of faith
I've come too far
To collapse under the weight of these afflictions
They wont get the best of me
I will resist the current
I will persevere

Through A Set Of Rose Shaded Eyes
by OUTLIER
supported by 4 fans who also own “Perseverance”
There are many blast beat parts, but I don't want to say this is a post-black metal album. Outlier is a genuine post-hardcore band. This album has vivid, direct, emotive, and subtle aesthetics of true hardcore in large quantities. A great work. ★ FFO: Envy, Oathbreaker.
