Maybe if I try hard, I can look past my fears. I am tired of living in the same eyes that see my reflection as a downfall of beauty, moments that I haven't built yet. These wrinkles around my eyes, they are maps that lead you to my pain. Along the way, there is a winding road that holds captive my inner self, which once discovered the freedom of happiness. These hands of mine, they've felt the thickness of darkness when it came knocking, disguised as a friend who would help me look forward and see the future. But now I'm trapped in my own pains and sorrows again.

Ink and Exile (part 1)
Maybe if I try hard, I can look past my fears. I am tired of living in the same eyes that see my reflection as a downfall of beauty, moments that I haven't built yet. These wrinkles around my eyes, they are maps that lead you to my pain. Along the way, there is a winding road that holds captive my inner self, which once discovered the freedom of happiness. These hands of mine, they've felt the thickness of darkness when it came knocking, disguised as a friend who would help me look forward and see the future. But now I'm trapped in my own pains and sorrows again.
Embarked on a journey of self descovery, will I find my self?
