I'm sick and tired of walking on eggshells While people are considering me The eggshells that they step on I'm being pushed aside Forced into silence Made to be lonely Taught to be afraid Paid to be quiet And i've learned That it's not about what I want It's just about what others want It's always about the others It's not about what I want It's just about what others want It's always about the others I guess I'll just sit here And deal with it Because you can't Because you couldn't I guess i'll remain A trembling Weak and Whipped and Tired and Worn out muddy pacifist All the while You remain a God ~

Why won’t you Look me in the eyes? Who have you wronged? Was it worth All the years Spent trying To deny Me of who I really was Or your name in a song? I tried to be Who I could never become. For a moment there I thought I was someone’s son. Dereliction, Work of fiction I could never have guessed That walls around me Overbound and see that I am distressed. ~The feeling of being loved~ Is gone for good It's gone for good And the feeling of meaning Isn’t understood It’s gone for good What would I even do In a life without you I’d live What if I’d Taken the knife and stabbed your heart With it Would you feel a thing? I bet that you would just go off and Run and hide Just like the coward that you are You’d probably stab my back. I tried to be What I could never become. For a moment there I thought I was someone’s son. This work of fiction, Dereliction, I could never have guessed That walls around me Overbound and see that I am distressed. ~The feeling of being loved~ Is gone for good It's gone for good And the feeling of meaning Isn’t understood It’s gone for good What would I even do In a world without you I’d live

Humble Home 08:03
You promised you would hold me You'd hold my hand You'd hold my head up And I figured you'd still be my friend But now I know how much I really meant to you I don't know what I did to deserve this I don't know what I can do To get you back I don't like this No I don't Feel like being on my own On my own Nobody to relate to No one gives a fuck One life is given and I hope that mine's not blown I won't lie No more No, I won't even try No more lies ~*~ The day you told me that I should leave our humble home Is the day I will rue Until I find another One day you'll see me living happier Than I could be with you And peace and solace Will be nowhere to be found I Have No Heart Left Anymore But I will Never Quit Looking for one Look through the trees I You'll see we have a disease Have You must fall to your knees No And look up to the skies and pray Heart We don't die Left He'll have you asking him why Anymore As you dig and reap you'll begin to uncover the truth Of it all But With backs against the wall I will No Accident At All It's the inevitable Never Now you can go Outstretched arms towards the sun Quit Purge your lips just this once Looking for one My dear

Foreshadow 07:10
I planned a life not to exist I did it all but for a fix A mere moment in time betwixt The emotions of death transcending A promise to me escaped your lips As if not to say it at all But as time goes on it's been seen through that the egos of many will fall The consequences, wasted expenses All in all it was just a big waste of time I could have been with the one I needed I thought I needed you but it was only a thought In my brain I feel dead I feel like throwing up in bed From nightmares persistent The fever consistent All I wanted from you was you and all I needed to do was be True to myself and be true to you I’ve had enough I’m done with it From running over Same old shit I’m growing weary Now it's time to sleep I want you to think about what you did. I won’t roll over this time and play dead. 
 I want to change, My habits and my ways. But I don’t think that I know how.

Get Left 04:30
I'm trying to get left but I can't find my footing No chance in sight that I see I want to give it my best but easier said than done I just want to turn away and run No? You think I shouldn't go? and I DON'T BELIEVE THAT I CAN Even though I've done it once I don't want to fail again So I have a fail safe plan To love my fellow man And do everything I can ~Because I have seen the other side~ Where regret is in the air Pockets penniless and starved Exclaiming life's not fair I want don't want to be a helpless soul I want to be in control of choices laid in front of me That are waiting for my choice You ask me Time again To divulge Master plans And I tell you That I can't To trust me Understand But You persist Interrogate My ears bleed You frustrate I suffocate My thoughts are Tide and tangled Hopes and dreams Destroyed and mangled Please just leave Go away Come again When I see the day You will rue the day That my dreams No longer fabled Have seen light Then will I be able To love you And myself Nursed me back Stable Health Where I could give My last breath Rest in peace Knowing I finally got left

I sit alone all by myself I dream of life or just something else The world around me and the thoughts in my head They are not mine My hands preoccupied with an attempt to pursue time But as you stir troubled waters in your brain Giving power to the demon that persists and is unnamed I've learned of ways to cope and deal And resist all the world's evil ways But when it comes down to it ~ I feel lame ~ I feel ashamed A huge disappointment to myself and I'm the one that I must blame I feel sick, diseased With gluttonous seeds I've got a fire deep inside of me burning bright for few to see You won't blow it out

about

These are some old jams that were written after some shit times back in 2013. Releasing these songs has finally allowed me to move on to make what I think is better music. I can leave these emotions here with this ep so as to move forward onto brighter things.

about

To Depart Washington, D.C.

To Depart is the antithesis of complacency. A foggy window into the clouded heart and thoughts of musician Bastian Kunu.

Better recognized for his heavy hitting, kit killing work drumming in DC based A MARC Train Home, it's interesting to see the differences of his personal music. You get a chilling sense of how the songs are real, sung from experience, all in an effort to heal mental anguish.
