Catalyst 04:05
What does motivation feel like to you? Feels like a train that stops out of the blue Am I out of originality? Or is this new style just vanity? Find you I'm lost And it makes me feel like I'm going nowhere and I feel I should care, but i don't I know there's a catalyst in my head I know if I get it out there, I could get ahead I want my music to get out there, it's my dream But I can't get my voice out there no matter how loud I scream Find you I'm lost And it makes me feel like I'm going nowhere and I feel I should care, but i don't Feels like I booked at the wrong hotel Am I bidding the old farewell? Is my message really heartfelt? Am I really being myself?

Lost 03:51
I've had a few years to reflect on myself Unintentionally stepped out of the spotlight I can say that I'm focusing on my health But I'd be lying if I didn't regret it outright Left to my own devices, I crumble How did I get to this point, I wonder I'll admit I lost my stability and I don't have the ability to pick myself back up I feel so lost, I feel so lost So, I've had enough of my own self-pity I need to get out and see my city Staying inside's kept me busy But I can't deny that everything feels so empty Left to my own devices, I crumble Why am I still at this point, I wonder I know I can get back my stability I can do it and get back that validity and recover the clarity that I desperately need I feel so lost, I feel so lost Get me out at any cost Cause I feel so lost Take a deep breath I'm fine on my own I've been wandering down this path all alone Is this something that I've convinced myself That my loneliness is gonna help Or am I gonna keep spiraling down this rabbit hole Left to my own devices, I crumble Why am I still at this point, I wonder I know I can get back my stability I can do it and get back that validity and recover the clarity that I desperately need I feel so lost, I feel so lost Get me out at any cost Cause I feel so lost

Abyss 03:41
Everyday I sink deeper into my abyss I float and wonder how I've gotten myself into this What is the key to change my fate? I just need to escape I'm wrapped up in this cold abyss How can I escape its coldened grip? I want to change my fate But I need to escape this abyss I wake and see nothing ahead Wondering if I should get out of bed I'm wrapped up in this cold abyss What will I get if I get out of this This cold abyss I'm wrapped up in this cold abyss How can I escape its coldened grip? I want to change my fate But I need to escape this abyss

Light a match, casting light upon the ground Look at everything you've built & found Playing with your walls of sound Look at the crowd gathering around Kid, you got something special And a somewhat healthy mental Your work was a vessel But you let the rise get to you Truly was an exciting time Labels and deals aligned But you lived too much in fantasy To actually make them a reality You let your pride consume you Talking about yourself with no follow-through You’re too distracted to notice that you dropped the match Now the crowd’s running away as you’re left all alone to- Watch the fire you created burn it down Everything you worked for, it’s all gone Light the bridge with kerosene And then it burns all to the ground I’m watching your fire run wild over something you cared for And now I’m wondering how you could possibly hurt more (Cause) You seem so empty with the mourning of all of your work Even though you’re the one who burned it, you hurt yourself, now you’re stuck and now you’ll just- Watch the fire you created burn it down Everything you worked for, it’s all gone Light the bridge with kerosene And then it burns all to the ground You did this all to yourself (Then it burns down) You did this all to yourself (I watched it burn down) And now you're watching it burn

Turn To Dust 02:02
I wanna make something beautiful but everything I touch seems to turn to dust Maybe I'm going crazy Maybe I'm just going mad I forced myself to lose everything that I had I feel if I don't right this wrong with this song I'll lose it all and watch my work turn to dust Watch it all turn to dust Was it all worthless? Maybe I'm going crazy Maybe I'm just going mad I forced myself to lose everything that I had I feel if I don't right this wrong with this song I'll lose it all and watch my work turn to dust

Daybreak 04:26
I'm trapped in a dark room With nothing else to do But I'll look out the window And hope that sunlight comes through (comes through) Give me time, I need my space If you're fine, you'll let me stay Just listen why, no need for hate Look at the sky, I'll be fine in the daybreak Give me time, I need my space If you're fine, you'll let me stay Just listen why, no need for hate Look at the sky, I'll be fine in the daybreak But it sounds like this now When it comes to an end We'll all be better than we were I don't know when the daybreak will come I'm looking for an out I wanna escape this place so much But it swarms me down, and I remind myself I'll be fine in the daybreak But it sounds like this now Give me time, I need my space If you're fine, you'll let me stay Just listen why, no need for hate Look at the sky, I'll be fine in the daybreak Give me time, I need my space If you're fine, you'll let me stay Just listen why, no need for hate Look at the sky, I'll be fine in the daybreak

Circles 03:08
I've been going round in circles but I think I finally found the answer That I've been looking for Set aside the pain I've caused myself I've found another way So let me explore I've been suffering like this for a couple years And I feel it's time I let go of this fear I don't know what they're wanting from me But I've learned to finally scale the debris Running in circles for one, two, three years It gets old when you let this break you to tears I don't know what they're wanting from me But I think I've finally broken free I've been going round in circles but I think I finally found the answer That I've been looking for Set aside the pain I've caused myself I've found another way So let me explore You take a long time to process your pain You realize how minor it was when you clean off the lens But I don't wanna live in fear no more I've got a long way so let's start right now I'm tired of being blocked by all of these hurdles Cause I don't wanna spend the rest of my life running in circ- I'm running in circles I'm running in circles I'm running in circles I've been going round in circles but I think I finally found the answer That I've been looking for Set aside the pain I've caused myself I've found another way So let me explore I've been going round in circles but I think I finally found the answer That I've been looking for Set aside the pain I've caused myself I've found another way So let me explore

I've been playing my daydream on replay The one where I'm free of my mind's dismay I don't wanna be held down forever and ever again Then you said to me "let's escape this, I'll take you to a world where you can't replace it" Then before I knew it, we were out there, watching the sunset We were under the moonlight And for once, it felt alright you and I all by ourselves and you said, "it's okay this time" Sitting under the moonlight Y'know, it seemed to sit right I wouldn't want to be with anyone else when we're under the moonlight Found comfort in the aphelion Maybe this is what I need to move on I made mistakes but I'll mold them all into bygones And watch the regrets disappear I'm no longer held down by fear And I promise I'll make it to another year I was under the moonlight and I had an epiphany about what success means to me I don't need the numbers I'll be okay if something blunders as long as I released it to the public, that's okay with me We were under the moonlight And for once, it felt alright you and I all by ourselves and you said, "it's okay this time" Sitting under the moonlight Y'know, it seemed to sit right I wouldn't want to be with anyone else when we're under the moonlight Sitting under the moonlight I finally feel alright I think I finally won this fight And I'll let it sink in while I reflect on this all night

Show me what I'm made of, I don’t know I've been fighting myself for control People always say that you reap what you sow I've been having trouble with that though Learning how to fly but can’t stop falling (Say I'm balling while I'm bawling) Fucked myself up but I say I'm balling (Don’t know who I'm calling) Break myself down until I'm nothing (Chase a bag, light a match) Falling apart and I can’t stay solid (Start a fire then I'll dash) "Baby, I'm melting Everything is crumbling What are you doing if you're not living in present? Baby, I'm melting I can feel my mind melting And it pains me to see you like this I wish I could go back to it." You told me you wish I could go back but I won't let you keep your grip on me I don't wanna hear it

It's the worst feeling you could possibly get You're in love, but you know you're just faking it What do you do when you're scared to tell the truth? I don't wanna address these feelings but I know I can't keep lying to you like this We'll feel better if we released Each other from this loosening grip I know you fear this "i don't wanna hear it", you said to me but I can't keep lying like this "I don't wanna hear it" But I still screamed it out loud Guess I didn't fear it I'm finally proud You can't hold me down anymore I've won this war How does it feel When it's your pride that I steal? I've spent my whole life not wanting to speak up I've been trapped in that moment for a while The pressure's been building up until it'll erupt That stuff will kill you as a child I don't want my past to define me That's no longer me, so start looking at me From now on, I can guarantee I don't wanna hear it if it tries to hold me back "I don't wanna hear it" But I still screamed it out loud Guess I didn't fear it I'm finally proud You can't hold me down anymore I've won this war How does it feel When it's your pride that I steal? "I don't wanna hear it" But I still screamed it out loud Guess I didn't fear it I'm finally proud I'm finally proud

about

I've always wanted to create things and show them to an audience. However, through cutting everyone and everything music-related off for little reason, my music has fallen to the wayside and I feel I've accidentally forced myself back to square one. Experimenting with music has always been something I love to do, especially forcing myself out of my comfort zone. Aphelion is a collection of songs I've made but haven't had the guts to release out of fear that they would alienate my audience. I'm done being scared. This is Aphelion.
