Hi! I'm an aspiring lyricist. / / https://www.instagram.com/fourthchord.official?igsh=c2JzaHRqamE0aWE5 / / Fourth Chord Official: follow me on insta!
I'll live for the first time without looking for love, I'm far away from my friends so I'll make some new ones. And I'll cry and scream from the building tops The moment I feel like something's wrong I'll work myself to the bone And I'll fill myself up Read like a person starved for affection Take pictures until my storage gives up Gamble on my abilities with all or none What will I want out loud this summer? Everything and anything except for a love. I'm done and tired to be someone's ideal type, that I've forgotten to live without a person as a crutch.

Cheers to youth.
Everytime I find it, Im trapped in this cage of fear Im selfish, two-faced, and a pathological liar I run away in the pretext of protection, I break things just to feel the power The blood on my hands from the cuts in the past Leave me with a sense of satisfaction My room no longer has sharp objects; But I've using a calling card To rip my skin into shards. And nowadays, though I've been clean for a while I still wonder how high I should climb before falling And I told people that I slip and fall, As precautions must be taken, that's all, Because if a mountaineer falls of a cliff, it's not their fault. It's not like its new, Me wanting leave, I've never once fought for anything from the very beginning. I don't understand the feeling that comes when I say this. I know its shame that comes after I carve the cry for help on my skin, my walls and every single human interaction I have. I love the feeling of falling in love Fantasize the art of being loved by someone Taken care of, and being known by someone But all the castles in my head come crashing down As I hear the voices in my head stumble Like men with drunken stupor with no consideration for anyone around of them and they began to fumble with the cage of words I've locked inside and the shame of wanting affection : "Im selfish, two-faced, and a pathological liar" "I don't deserve the love, when I'm bound to leave them" "I am the toxic one, in every relationship" "The only one who can bear me, haven't seen 'me' yet" "The moment they hold eyes with me, they are gonna take a step back" Everytime I find love, I take a step back, If it's from their side, I know all I end up doing is break that. I'm trapped in this cage of fear, and I could fight or fly So I take my wings and rise to the sky, and someday, I'll end up consumed by the sun.

Did I protect him, myself or just my fears?

Am I the only one? Left behind While everyone runs forward Am I the only one? Struck dazed, Stuck in the past. Am I the only one? Waiting for a push, so I can finally step off and spread my wings? Am I the only one? Am I alone? I know I am not, But it is taking me too long to take a step forward, and not two backwards, And I wonder, Am I Alone?

idling in fear of failure
Loves me, Loves me not, I like the way her eyes, speak in the light. Loves me, Loves me not, I swear I'm not kidding, about the way he lives in my mind Loves me, Loves me not, Our pretty banter we continue, just to hear the tinge of want, on each others voice. Loves me, Loves me not, To feel your hand in proximity, And feel the butterflies erupting, Is this all worth it? Loves me, Loves me not, Linger to say goodbye on calls across the country. Loves me, Loves me not, I see you like someone, I hope I know very well who this is. Loves me, Loves me not, I saw the like on a post, That related to someone other than me. Loves me, Loves me not, You said that person is pretty, I am not, you just said I was ugly. Loves me, Loves me not, You said you love them, In all of their kindness and for eternity But I am cruel like love and I dont deserve even a drop of this sea. Loves me, Loves me not The petals on the flower are gone The flowers in the field are gone, Theres no other field I can find, Tears pouring, I've lost my mind. Loves me, Loves me not, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you. oh. no. no. no. oh no. Loves me, loves me not Ill love you, It doesnt mind, If you love me, love me not.

Petals on a Flower in the Field
and neither the moon nor sun can comfort me; one heard my stories about you, and the other my prayers for you. The rain could not escape my memory that you liked the monsoon, The winds only held gently the expectation of ruffling your soft hair. The stream mimicked your laughter which was etched deeply in my heart. The sand under my feet told me when it met you and the salt in the ocean whispered to me that you threw your wishes as promises, but wouldn't tell me what those were; something about secrecy. The air during my late night walks reminded me that you walked these paths, The flowers gushed about your voice, the trees your jokes; and then everything crumbled. as my mind had to remind me that you died, and your image I had to forget for my sake. snatched away so quickly, I hate that, I hate you. I hate you. I hate you.

I don't and I hate it.
Scent of ocean on his hair, Im so far yet it pierces my chest. Smell of crushed leaves, On his fingers which he'd snapped to get my attention Telling me that I'd been zoned out, It was his smile, a little tired Lack of sleep, or a tough day I couldn't decide Are you ok was just the surface, Yet I hesitate to scratch it, let it made a scar. Dance of a few words, and a few hellos and goodbyes Hallway interactions with unsure glances But the sparkle in his eyes compliments the harmonies in my soul And though I promised to, I couldn't let go of the strings.

the thought of you
Isn't it funny , How when Im happy I feel like something bad is going to happen, and yet when Im sad I can't predict happiness, only predict darkness ahead. Like I can never see the light ahead of the tunnel, But always can see the darkness at the end of light. And Yet, I choose life

fun
It is, Afterall my fault, For telling my trusted, With what's in my heart And expecting them to help me. It is my fault, That I don't have the courage To continue what I started. Let the thing I started Range from homework to my life. It is my fault For being born, in such a good environment Cuz even with things people would die for, I can't live. Everything is my fault. This is the truth. But to myself I lie, And put the blame on others

Truth and lies
Sometimes I wonder, If I was born as a mistake If I was named by mistake If I was taken care by mistake If I was recognised by mistake Sometimes I wonder, If i make so many mistakes. Sometimes I don't. I know I made the mistakes. But I lie. And tell them " By mistake" So many mistakes, to fill up the big mistake. The big mistake is me
