monkeylordz "Still Here" is an amazing experience. I respect DM DOKURO massively for having the courage to voice his thoughts and struggles through the lyrics, and on top of that, he weaves it wonderfully into an incredibly immersive track. Favorite track: STILL HERE (ft. Oliver).

strangejune STILL HERE helped me realize that the way I talked to myself wasn't okay. I would listen to it every time I was feeling self-hatred and remind myself that I'm being toxic. I survived this long, so I think it worked. Thanks.

[the voiceless] For years I ran from my mistakes; Their piercing eyes are something I can't ever seem to flee. If I break The wicked show their face, Persuaded by The deep, grotesque disgust of what they see. Growing weaker every day, Feeling heart and soul decay- If I'm not alone, then why am I afraid? If I'm suffering inside, Do I wait 'til it subsides? Do I keep it to myself and disappear? The sorrow shows, And now it knows That I'm still here. [the other voice] SHUT UP. I'm done with hearing you. This is all you do- Complain and bitch and whine about yourself. (This is NOT your business-) STOP TALKING. Don't you DARE say any more. Just look at you- The harsh advice of those who love you rots within this hell. (The harsh advice I'm given rots within this hell...) Growing spineless day by day, Watching as your mind decays- You say that you'll keep moving on, but you're afraid. (How can I move on if you won't go away?) I'm the pain within your head, And without me, you'd be dead. (Even with you, I would be dead.) I'M THE REASON WHY YOU'LL NEVER DISAPPEAR. (You're the reason why I want to disappear.) Don't walk away- You're who's to blame If I'M still here. Was this all that you thought it could be? Years of mending, but not much to see- Aren't you scared that you can't feel a thing? God, your empty gaze is sickening... You can try to reject it, But it builds up and eats you inside You should learn to respect it; This hostility is unjustified So just try and correct it, But my contempt for you will not be denied Just think for once- Why else would you be acting this way? We are the many faces you have betrayed. You'll never keep us out for long. If inner peace is what you find, Give us your spirit- We'll tear it out of you and make the guilt unwind. You'll never make the shouting stop, Or numb the stigma from your mind. Prepare yourself for what's to come; See all the damage you've left behind. Embrace your damned incompetence or die. [The Voiceless] Have you noticed that I've tried Coping with the sins that hide?! Have you forgotten that I've done this all before?! (Let your problems out, or you'll never endure!) Every time you come and go, I get weaker as you grow. (See the childish tears that you show?!) Even if I'm safe for now, you'll stoke the fear- (You just want someone to blame for what you fear!) You'll push my lunacy to something more severe! (Soon, you will embrace the truth that brought you here:) The shattered mind, (You're a waste of a life worth living-) Scattered and swirled, (Nothing more than a faded scream.) Says "I am fine", (This conclusion you make is unforgiving.) But to the world (Hide in the loss of your self-esteem and burn.) I'm dead inside And terrified that i'm still here

about

[CONTENT WARNING]
the track "STILL HERE" contains lyrics with themes of immense self-loathing, toxic dialogue of a split mind, severe depression, dark inner thoughts, and horrible things you should NEVER say to yourself. as such, if you are not in a mindset for this type of thing, i recommend avoiding "STILL HERE" and skipping straight to "9".

a preview from Shadow of Light 3 in the form of a single.



the coward can no longer run. the inner conflict begins here.
