One more fail, scaring my skin, for the abyss to mock They bring me down and downward I go, weighted down by inumerable mistakes As I reach out for salvation, I'm shoved away by waves of judgement As I see my ego torn apart, I'm drowning in a sea of indifference I'm scared to fall once again, while they are staring A sea of eyes, glowing, watching, mocking, preying on me and my past mistakes To frame and belittle me, to get me and bring me down... down... down... As I see my ego torn apart, I'm drowning in a sea of indifference As I see my ego torn apart, I'm drowning in a sea of indifference ...in a sea of indifference...

Disgrace 05:32
Hope shattered throughout the years Of a viable descendancy Once a decent human being That's now but a forgotten dream Perverted sins of the flesh Made me corrupted to the core You think my mind isn't filled with darkness But I'm not sane anymore Tell me what you see What I have become Shadows of the past Dragging me down I am so afraid To know I Have become to you Such a disgrace Too late to extract me from this world of filth It impregnated my every bones Images of defilement flashes in Be grateful to God I'm such a weakling So weak in fact that I can't end it all Can't use the holy sword to save us all So please come next to me and take my hand And honor me with a final dance Tell me what you see What I have become Shadows of the past Dragging me down Tell me what you see What I have become Shadows of the past Dragging me down I am so afraid To know I Have become to you Such a disgrace

Why are you gone? You told me You needed some time To think and gather your thoughts But you never told me That meant you want to leave me You... Left me all alone I still don't understand I know I made mistakes But you left without a word I did everything for you But you still let go of me I just want to know Why. Are you gone? Love has its ways I Don't understand But you never taught me All the details I Had to take in account To love and satisfy you I only cared for you And still you are gone So at least tell me why You... Left me all alone I still don't understand I know I made mistakes But you left without a word I did everything for you But you still let go of me I just want to know Why. Are you gone? Why are you gone? I am alone. Why are you gone? Don't leave me alone.

Years of bliss Innocence protected by thee Annihilated by passage of time Realisation of the fraud I am Memories fade into black Forgetting of all the good times Only foul traces will remain They will see everything but my pain I apologize For who I am And what I've done Against you all No harm intended You're all for me I must repent For whom I love Oh... the horror I saw When my reflection looked back at me Displaying such vile imagery Perpetrated to those in my heart Denial is not an option I can't avert my sight anymore Confrontation must be the final showdown Between who I was and who I really am I apologize For who I am And what I've done Against you all No harm intended You're all for me I must repent For whom I love Oh... the horror I saw Oh... of what I've become Oh... The things that I've done Oh... The mistakes I've shown Oh... The blasphemes I've said Oh... My Lord, I deserve death I apologize For who I am And what I've done Against you all No harm intended You're all for me I must repent For whom I love

Oh, I know who you want to become I don't even know who I am anymore - Tell me Do you remember the dreams you told and swore to follow? I just remember the nightmares I lived until now Do you see the laughs and smiles we all shared together? I can't laugh anymore I don't see the child with eyes full of dreams I've lost myself and dream no more... Why won't you go out there anymore? You used to be the liveliest child be the liveliest child We don't see what could have gone wrong Gone Wrong With you, at all With me, at all (Who could be at fault?) We do not see that light in your eyes Are you sure are you still our child? For so long you were all our pride But now, you are A shell of Myself Oh, I know who you want to become I don't even know who I am anymore - Tell me Do you remember the dreams you told and swore to follow? I just remember the nightmares I lived until now Do you see the laughs and smiles we all shared together? I can't laugh anymore I don't see the child with eyes full of dreams I've lost myself and dream no more...

Uma paixรฃo imaterial Alimentada pelos pares Uma รณbvia falta de talento resulta em um amor impossivel Eu nunca parei de tentar De continuar a querer amar A musa que nรฃo quer ouvir-me Mesmo assim nรฃo me deixa em paz Gastei a minha vida toda Lutando pra estar perto dela Agora tenho de enfrentar As consequรชncias Nimgem terรก o tempo De ver meu rosto Eu vou deixar isto tudo Por รกgua abaixo

(Fraud) You thought you were good enough for them (Impostor) Praises and trust were wrongfully given (Deceiver) You made them believe you deserve their love (Monster) After all this time, you're ought to realize (Fraud) You thought their smiles were truly genuine (Impostor) Yet only shame's what you truly deserve (Deceiver) You made them blind from your hideous self (Monster) It's time to accept your reflection (Fraud) You thought you could hide yourself forever (Impostor) The time has come to shatter the mask (Deceiver) You made them think you could be with them (Monster) Now save yourself by never coming again I know I don't deserve the love You've given me all this time Your warmth should be lend to Those who truly are worthy Imposture has reached its limits The mask is starting to crack Redemption will come by Disappearing from your lives

They keep telling me about a place ...where... Hope illuminates your way, at every step I've been dreaming of such things, since I've started it all I've been in this dark path since then so I'm Imaginating Neon Lights Piercing through the everlasting rain I see them shining through the drops And feel them piercing my eyes I've been lost and wandering for years ...now... I feel my choices are the ones to blame I've been naive to think I deserve redemption I am the one who deserves to be lost Imaginating Neon Lights Piercing through the everlasting rain I see them shining through the drops And feel them piercing my eyes

The time of innocence is gone The veil of illusions is down The ones I love are all ashamed Of the failure I have become The time of innocence is gone I see their faces on the walls Rictuses of disappointment And cries of despair fill my soul The time of innocence is gone The veil of illusions is down I can't stand their pain anymore I am the reason of it all I want to see them smile again But for that I must disappear My death will be your salvation I am sorry for existing My death will be your salvation I am sorry for existing I am sorry for existing

about

I started composing very young, animated by pure love for music.
But as I grew up, things changed along the way.
Hesitation. Low self-esteem. Self-doubt. Shame.
I've composed countless drafts, and the more I composed, the more I was ashamed of myself.
To the point where I was sorry to those around me for even existing.
Yet, I was lucky to be surrounded by wonderful people, who helped me realise my worth.
People I'm happy and proud to call my family and friends.
They helped me get rid of my demons, and leave behind a version of myself, that I can't forget, as I don't want to be like this ever again.
But I still felt guilty by looking at the countless drafts I left behind as well.
So, to truly leave my demons behind, and let loose the new me, I took a few of them with some potential, and transformed them.
Heavily inspired by the slushwave scene, with the likes of desert sand feels warm at night or t e l e p a t h ใƒ†ใƒฌใƒ‘ใ‚ทใƒผ่ƒฝๅŠ›่€…, as well as the DSBM and Synthwave I listen to, I instilled my own failed Synthwave tracks with my own music universe, little by little, to reflect the changes I went through.
From now on, I can look forward with hope and anticipation, as I show to the world the proofs of my past failures, and become a better version of myself.
