“I’ve struggled through pain and misdirection, overcome my faults and imperfections. Could hear when I was deaf, could see when I was blind, I have found my peace of mind. I’ll be the reason for your extinction. Lowly ones are higher than the person you think that you are. They hand you the world, you throw it back on your face. You can’t handle the honor. What’s it like being a disgrace? And after all the lies that spilled from your throat, I should’ve known better. You have forgotten who made you. I created you. You have forgotten who created you. You are my creation. You are not the answer. You are not the person you aim for. I am the one who created your past and I can end it just as fast. Shut your mouth. We’ve always known you’ve been a fake. Welcome back to reality. Lowly ones are higher than the person you say that you are. They hand you the world, you throw it back in their face. You can’t handle the honor. What’s it like being a disgrace?”

“I thought you’d be there for me. Take a step back. View yourself from my perspective. Invite yourself in my mind. You have won. I give up. I am finally scared to come home. You’re not my family, as much as you claim to be. You’re not my family. You disarrange my heart. Where were we at the start? Incapable of compassion. Step up, be a man. Don’t you ever try this again. Oh, God, what have you done this time? I just wanted you by my side. I believed in you. You took everything, so get away from me. I believed in you. Listen when I say, ‘take everything and get away from me.’ You are worth nothing to me. Nothing could mean this much to me. You’re worthless.”

“Explain to me, why I don’t have the right to believe. I have tried so hard, but it’s still nothing new to me. You are not there for me, or maybe I’m too scared to see. Belief is not something simple. The truth lies within being able to see. I want to be saved. I want to believe, but I’m not sure if I’m ready to put my heart on the line, to be one with you, to waste my time. I wish I could look forward to this. Show me you exist. Deliverer, I am so lost, hear me now. I’ll never give up. My search is forever. I won’t give up, I can’t give up. Empty words echo off lonely walls. I am the broken one. Please save me from myself. The pieces of my heart are scattered and cold. They say you’re always listening, but I don’t believe that you can hear the words on my heart. I am a deceiver. You are a believer. Show me what it’s like to believe. I am a deceiver. You are a believer. This is my faith complex. I can never believe in you. Show me what it’s like to be someone who believes in something. Don’t let me be the fool that chooses to believe in nothing. Please find me. Please just help me. Show me what it’s like and save me.”

“You are the reason that I’m standing here by myself. It keeps you up at night. The adrenaline in your veins only fuels your rage. You hate them, don’t you? You fucking hate them. Don’t ever do it again, I know where you live. Don’t ever speak my name again. I know what hatred is. I have felt this way forever. I will not hide this time. My eyes can see your future. It starts with you fading away, that part is clear. Now it’s your turn, now it’s your turn. Disappear. Just keep your fucking mouth shut. You’re just a worthless piece of shit. You think scum like you will ever amount to a thing. You’ll grow old ad die, no one will remember your name. When you beg for mercy and a clean slate, I’ll make you remember why you fueled my hate. Fuck you for what you put me through. I hate people like you. You will feel my pain. You’ll hurt.”

Castle in the Clouds
by The Wise Man's Fear
supported by 4 fans who also own “Hostage”
Realistically, I should have bought this album after the first 100 scrobbles of In Reach (Out of Touch), but it's never too late to do the right thing. This has a different atmosphere (and story) than The Lost City, but it's just as good and just as melodic.

Fortuneteller
by The Oklahoma Kid
supported by 4 fans who also own “Hostage”
A masterful EP, The Oklahoma Kid is resoundingly beautiful and presents a work that is as meaningful as it is introspective. Fortuneteller encapsulates the very essence of the post-hardcore and metalcore genres, but effectively intertwines tech metal and crushing djent riffs into a very solid effort. The Oklahoma Kid is intelligent, passionately-moving, and intensely engaging; music of my golden years. :)
