Strive 24:56
After scouring The horizons Now lost In grey Hanged between Hope and fear To reconstruct The shatters Piece by piece Trying to cease This endless disease Heavens needs Part by part Trying to halt Victimhood Grounded in heart Piece by piece Trying to cease This endless disease Heavens needs Part by part Trying to halt Victimhood Grounded in heart Excel, to the, next, level Hustle, and grind, to enlightenment Was it all worth the hustling? Was the price as required? How much more? Until when will it get close? Will it find the right place? To escape nothingness That we trap ourselves in The will of stupidity arise Behind the pillars of awakening Forms the inner sanctum Three eyed entities watch Ordering to give it all up Sacrifices has to be made For that is the way of healing Sufferings will teach Sufferings will bring wholeness Reach and ask for it Ask for the ultimate price Dominion and mastery faced No other way around Drifts and stumbles With these entities While trying to reach Far distant awareness Thorns wrap the questions Resulted to constant aches To break the encrypted Gods hold the spell To unlock the key Sensing the fragile shape Demanding more focus To be relieved of the fake Machine Exhausted from dealing with this mess Angels has dropped From suffocated hugs All this nonsense led to nothing Confusion and mystery on the way Opening a portal Search for more rewards More levels ahead awaits Hero wants his price Hero wants to ascend Life and death still godless No meaning near the urchin moon Hero fears the spikes Hero reads in between Black and white forms oneness Picks a path to understand Orbiting in awe Greeting the unknown Comes sprinting through the portal Inside the core of the moon The moon is silent Fusing insanity The path is so muddied Writhe with light Both ends are challenging Both needs to be reached Reach for answers Reach for meaning Getting sucked again To the bottomless pit Bringing salts of the past While few sparks wrapping it When you stare too much to the light, The light despises you When you stare closely to an ember, It will guide you to awake From the dawn of time Humans wanted To expand The knowledge Of the unknown That is limitless Like building a pyramid Like talking to space So go ahead take Thousands of steps To get a peek Into the truth And fall from The surface In the speed of light Smash the ground In the great power Of the quasars collision The cracks of the soil Still searching For answers That brings Only struggles Our thoughts dance Our emotions fade Our nerves alerted Our instinct aimed Failure No more Failure Erased from mind Rotten Mind Now bright Cleansed Mind Prepared for Dark

about

“Strive is a continuation of “Scour... (2019)”.
The inside has felt into pieces, a reconstruction needs to happen to achieve awareness while facing existential crisis and unwanted states of mind.
Strive is a one-track EP that goes through different movements accompanied with visuals that reflects the themes of the lyrics such as peeking into spiritual awakening to descending into toxic positivity until waking up to the dark night of the soul.”
