about

Shadow of Guilt is a song I wrote about one of the lowest periods in my adult life; when I was considering ending my life, I wanted to take a step off the roof, close my eyes, and let go of everything holding me captive mentally. I thought of the people who have always been there for me in the darkest hours, like my mom, my best friend, and my late grandfather, and how they want me to live and succeed the best I can, and thoughts of them kept me going through all these years. I'm slowly cutting through my mental chains and working toward inner clarity and psychological freedom that I've never had in life before, and I'm beyond appreciative of everyone who has supported me throughout all of these years! Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

lyrics

We are blind

Standing on the ledge
With winds so calm
Prophets of death
Sing lies like psalms

Your cold hymn grips me

Their coated fingers
Beckon forth to the air
So I look to the sun
and crawl to my Chekhov's gun

Your warm sin fills me

Peace lies
Death lies
The breeze in your hair
Betrays your vacant stare

Blegh

Temptress of fate, will you let me rest?
I give and give until there's nothing left

Breaking at the seams
With anger so raw
Pistons of steam
Billow pillars toward the maw

Their sly promises
Seduce me so vividly
So I look at myself
and nothing stares back

Your coldness strikes me like light on gold
As the iron sea holds corpses down below
Do these chains make me
Free?

Redemption
Succession
Obsession
Compassion
