about

I felt that for this album it would be important to highlight my psychology in wanting a relationship with a woman. That's what I did, after a friend at the time put much of it into perspective for me.

lyrics

So here I lay in shame and failure
Written all over my face
Praying forth my wish
To no more be a waste of space
So much I want despite the fact
I should be grateful
But the cycle continues
Despite trying to be faithful

Forgive me all
That I can’t see life’s light
You know I wish I could at least
Put up a stout fight

I never wanted this
To rely on naught but lust
It just feels like my nature
To squander and feel robust
I’m like an endless void
And I yearn to feel whole
Some say I should love myself first
But all I see are loopholes
I’m desperate for acceptance
All I really want is solace

Some say I should persevere
And enjoy being single
Except I already did once
It’s no longer that simple
There’s no such thing as rushing
After all I’ve been through
I can’t take any more
Than what’s left me bestrewed

Forgive me all
That I can’t see life’s light
You know I wish I could at least
Put up a stout fight

I never wanted this
To rely on naught but lust
It just feels like my nature
To squander and feel robust
I’m like an endless void
And I yearn to feel whole
Some say I should love myself first
But all I see are loopholes
I’m desperate for acceptance
All I really want is solace

This isn’t something I can cure
Unless I find one to endure
Nothing else brings me confidence
It only feels like a false pretense

I never wanted this
To rely on naught but lust
It just feels like my nature
To squander and feel robust
I’m like an endless void
And I yearn to feel whole
Some say I should love myself first
But all I see are loopholes
I’m desperate for acceptance
All I really want is solace

I'm desperate for acceptance
All I really want is solace
