I should have known a long time ago that solitude was my only mortal ally. I walk with God, yet the space occupied by everything else rings ever more hollow. Hollow. I have always been like a ghost in this world. Going here and there, the wind blowing by with not an eye on me. This maudlin world cycles around the clock... Oh, what a sad, sad clock it is. Judgment comes ever closer. A forest with no branches to grasp onto. What a foreign concept! It's okay, I'm used to it by now. Just go on wherever you were going. I wonder if this counted for anything. I can contemplate my regrets for years to come. A foreign world, yet one I was born to. Nothing here ever made sense to me. I barely speak your language. Even now, I can only convey the simplest of thoughts. So forlorn... Can anyone understand this? If anyone could, would they even care? They come and go... There's nothing new under the sun... It's been this way all along... More noise to occupy bandwidth on some websites, left to collect dust. What an achievement. Trust me, that breakthrough's just around the corner. Just leave me in the past. It's where I've always been and maybe always will be. Just go on with your life. Don't climb into this hole. You only think you care. It hurts more than you know. You can't carry this cross. Once you learn who I am, you'll run like everyone else. Just leave. There's no point in any of this but to spread the Gospel in the prayerful hope I can leave this hellhole just a bit better than it was when this started. Don't reply. Don't stay. You wouldn't anyway. No teams, no groups, no sharing of ideas in the warmth of a sunset... Just more vacuous coldness in this desolate nightmare we call earth. I should have known a long time ago that solitude was my only worldly ally. I walk the forests alone. I scroll the internet alone. I record my music alone. I release my music alone. I wallow alone. I shatter alone.

Wistful. A cup full of depression. Dawn and dusk. Mankind and his echoes, those dreadful echoes. Words of philosophy, of entertainment, of cultures... It all rings so empty... PATER NOSTER QUI ES IN CÆLIS INCOLA EGO SUM IN TERRA NON ABSCONDAS A ME MANDATA TUA Leave me in the darkness 25 years into this mess. My perspective can change, but this longing doesn't. What is it? A God-given commandment, or a thorn? For so, so long I've yearned for something the world seems unable to give me. PATER NOSTER QUI ES IN CÆLIS INCOLA EGO SUM IN TERRA NON ABSCONDAS A ME MANDATA TUA Leave me in the darkness

about

Mixed very hastily. Don't expect anything great here, I'm just venting some emotions I've been feeling.

Please don't pretend you can understand my feelings. I get it, it's a common and 'pretentious' thing to hear people say, "Nobody understands me!" but the simple fact is, after all these years of meeting different people, ... I think it's safe to say, nobody really does understand me, except for God Himself. The thoughts that inspired this demo run so much deeper than mere "sadness", that I can't begin to describe them.

+++ Demo title comes from people who criticize teenagers, saying their angst is just a phase. I've been out of adolescence for 7 years now and these feelings haven't changed one bit, and three years ago, I was diagnosed with severe anxiety and major depressive disorder.

I may have other mood disorders as well.
It's not always a phase. +++
