NNE 02:03
Set sail into uncharted waters. Traveling north-northeast in search of bliss. Somethings I need to do on my own. Tidal waves build up & crash down: destroying the ship I have built. Trying to keep myself above the water. Eyes glass over, but no tears flow. I wanted a reason to escape myself. Holding on to wood from the wreckage, tired my eyes begin to close. Wondering where will I drift off to.
2.
Arrival 02:21
You have arrived here in search of bright skies & new beginnings, but fear & frustration are grey clouds that spiral above your head. I know what you deserve: a new place to call your home, a new place where you belong. I'll give the entirety of myself to create this for you. Then watch from afar as initial happiness turns to complacency turns to anger because no change will ever come. Your eyes just like what you once love will dull, & you'll grow weaker & weaker. I can't wait for you to succumb to your doubts & become one with your sins so I can sink my teeth into you. Because I am the sin-eater.
3.
Exile 01:34
Everyone here moves with such fluidity. Kindness feels abundant & I feel welcomed. As time passes every conversation feels the same: nothing added & nothing taken away. The sun changes position & feint strings reflect in the light. Panic sets in as I follow them. When will I be next? How will you pose me? Tripping over strings, I have no choice but to run. Everyone here is just a sweet memory, I see you shadow looming over me.
4.
Sin-Eater 02:22
Leaves crumble, underneath your footsteps. You are never too far behind me. My existence breaks your mold of order & purity. I am just another meal. Sin-Eater coil around me, unhinge your jaw. Take bites out of me until you're full. I hope my blood stains your mouth. I hope my bones remain stuck in between your teeth. Left incomplete because you view me as sin. There's still enough left in this body to create beauty.
5.
A feeling so familiar: your teeth placing a curse on this body. A sigil now burned into my side, cauterizing the wounds. Through this curse forever connected. Leaving me to wonder what use am I to you, & if I am the only one that you are attempting to push your burdens onto?
6.
Time aimlessly spent wandering the forest. Are you so lost in yourself that you can't see how the branches move with each step? Take your time, I'll wait patiently because all paths lead back to me. My teeth stained with your blood to create this world: that allows you to avoid all of your fears & all of your doubts. Wishing to escape comes with a price that you have yet to understand. The emptiness that you hold quickly makes you wish that you were still asleep. The nervousness in your eyes shows no will to return to what was left behind. Can't you see that this happiness is rose-colored.
7.
Falling 03:16
You are a hole in heaven: the sun shines yet rain falls. Years of avoidance & damning your own emotions, lead to a world created by fear: where you exist a god & its creation. Clouded judgments of self with deafening thunder & flashes of lightning: that shake the foundation that you stand. Clipping your wings will bring nothing. Pain & loss cannot be undone or forgotten. Come to terms with yourself: I am just your reflection distorted by noise.
8.
Bliss 02:59
Realizing that I am not just a summation of my hardships. The serenity from letting my fears settle in. Allowing me to create a new vying for this life. The pensivity that follows reminding me that this will repeat again some day. As this haze begins to dissipate, I am able to recognize that flowers have bloomed from every tear in my body as proof that this pain was worth enduring & that I have grown: stronger & more beautiful for it all.
