Hallways (Part 1) Lyrics I woke up and stepped outside Shielded my eyes from the sun and felt it's warm on my skin I smiled, everything is well and in its right place What is right? What is wrong? Is there a God? When I am gone Who do I pray too When life shows it's face Are we stuck floating In the black of space Do we even matter To anyone at all Thousands of years from now Will our names they call? Will our home still be here Or will it burn Our remnants filling Oblivion's urn Who in charge of my mind Is it me Is it a suited man Or a company Is my mind a palace Torn down by sin Or is a shack That knows how to win Should I hate my neighbor For all his flaws After all, we are in this place Together and lost How will the universe End it's reign Will we become zero Or eternity gain What a future Smart and mature Goals set for sure Job, money secure Top selected Deep connections Grabbing attention Begin ascension! The cheers are loud Resounding sound Peace Your future will be found The workload The social status quo The passions flow Right out the door Reached the top Dollars never stop No ambition drop Your life is turned off The cheers are loud Your smile is proud Peace Your heart has never made a sound This is your life now Wasting light now Is this even right now Is it worth the heights now? Did you ever love? Did you ever feel? Did you ever smile? Did you even ever live? Who's cheering now There is no sound Peace From six feet under the ground My body a commodity, not in harmony, an oddity Thinking misogyny, sodomy, need a full frontal lobotomy To stop these thoughts and feelings, That are fucking up who I ought to be, Seeing shoddily, death fucking calling me Two sides battling, and only one can win My brain fucking rattling til a paralyzed state I'm in Til all I want is to drink smoke and fuck, My mind stretched taunt, holy shit, I'm out of luck I ain't never been one to confront my problems, Wishing for a bottle, instead compulsive acts'll follow You think repeated superstitious won't leave you fucking hollow? You think repressing all your thoughts will stop all your fucking sorrow? Shit you're just lonely I guess, just a bout of teen angst One day you'll be glorious, yes There are people with problems out there, what makes you special? You got mental issues, man do you want a fucking medal? Fuck you motherfucker

I want to find death I want to find death I want to see the abyss I want to drown in black But I don't know what's there But I don't know what's there I'm too scared of the beyond So I take it back I want to meet God I want to meet God I want to see his face See his disappointed face But I'm afraid he won't be there I'm afraid he won't be there I'm afraid I'll find nothing But emptiness and space You should keep searching for your death Looking out windows, see you fall to your last breath I want to drive fast I want to drive fast I want to die In a fiery car crash I want to drink til Im blind I want to drink til I'm blind I want to end up In a ditch with my life behind I want to fuck all night I want to fuck all night I want to scream And cum away all plight I want to fight hard I want to fight hard I want to taste blood Feel pain, go to far I want to tie a noose I want to tie a noose I want to meet God I want to meet God I want to fucking die I want to fucking die I want to loose my shit Oh God, I'm loosing my shit I want to meet God someday But I'm afraid he won't be there I'm afraid I will die someday And they'll be nothing left I think I'd rather live through my hell Then die and loose it's gift Why do I want it all to end When I can't stand the thought of abyss Why do I want death When there's nothing I fear more than it in life You’ll carry on I woke up and stepped outside Shielded my eyes from the black abyss and felt icicles jabbing my skin I smiled, everything is well and in its right place

about

the song hallways was created and assembled from songs and sounds i made during my first semester of college. it combines a few songs i wrote on guitar, some poems, improv jams, and sound/noise collages i made during that time. it was written during a pretty rough time, and it feels like i was at the crossroads of intense emotional confession and emotional self parody, its raw and a bit messy, but i think that serves the song best, i hope that you enjoy it!

this features short samples of the songs "complications" and "the fly" from my "a window" EP, along with chopped up samples of my covers of "god damn the sun" by swans and "john wayne gacy jr" by sufjan stevens.

thank you to my family and friends, i would be nowhere without you.
and of course, thank you to all of the artists who never stop inspiring me!

and thank you!!!
from the bottom of my heart.
