    DARCIA is a project that I started as a testament to a very important person in my lifetime, the love of my life who happened to get away. The songs on this project were written as a documentation to what she and I had, still have, and may one day continue somewhere in the future. I would hope that those of you who listen to this album will take the time to learn from my mistake in hopes of not losing someone close to you as well.

about

There are always two sides to every story, and it must be noted that all songs written on this project (including the happy ones) are all written from my perspective and not hers. She is someone who I still hold very close to my heart to this day and our bond continues to grow stronger. With that being said, enjoy the project and share it with those who may be going through a similar situation.

Lastly, a very special thank you to Kaila Sachse. I love you girl, and thank you for being willing to take part in this project. Until next time...

about

After the third century a new breed of being began evolving its way into the gene pool, demons. Cursed not only with the shell of those that came before them, but also with the inability to walk under the sunlight for long periods of time. There was one amongst many who appeared unaffected by physical pains of the flesh dwelling amongst the wolves. His name was Poetic Death, his mission was misery ... more

Track Name: Introduction ft. Kaila Sachse
[Intro]

Welcome. I wrote this album,
for the love of my life. Learn from my lessons.

[VERSE 1]

She is my everything/
And I mean it when I say that/
My confidant/
My best friend/
She knows so much about me/
And these stories that I sing/
Is a record of our history/
Starting from our break up/
And how we found our harmony/
So pay no attention to the pains that you hear/
Because the love that me and her have/
Is deeper than this music/
See we've always been honest/
With ourselves and one another/
Leave your judgements at the door/
And enjoy the life lessons/
Listen/

[Outro]

This is a story of a wolf,
and his quest for a maiden's heart.
Track Name: Stay Awhile
[VERSE 1]

I was gazing at the screen of my computer/
Lurking on your Facebook/
By now a daily habit/
See I've had my eyes on you/
For like the last ten months/
And now that you're a residence/
I figure why not/
I heard about the party downstairs/
A bunch of trouble makers/
But this was meant to happen/
Just a matter of time/
Those butterflies they always talk about/
They start to kick in/
I put my hand above my heart/
Before I take a breath again/
I've encounter many females/
But none like you/
Thinking back to our debates/
I would have never let you/
But you remind me of my mother/
And she's a very strong woman/
Who's in touch with her emotions/
You know I need that on my right side so/
I made my way downstairs/
And you were sitting at the kitchen table/
An empty chair/
This is destiny/
The first thing that popped up in my head/
I don't really come from much/
But I hope she'll give me a chance/
To stay awhile/

[CHORUS]

And when you're sleeping at night/
Or standing in the shower/
Thinking about your love life/
Parties out in nowhere/
Driving in the darkness/
Haunted by a car crash/
Do you (do you)/
Do you think about me/
Because I think about you/ (2x)

[VERSE 2]

Both of us were nervous/
With our hands under the table/
We were playing with our fingers/
Everything was very natural/
Some would call it magical/
And others call it science/
But whatever it may be/
It has yet to walk away from us/
But anyways/
Let's get back to the story/
And by now we're on the front porch/
Some black guy was talking/
But you were rocking shorts though/
And cuddled up beside me/
Those butterflies were back/
And I was thinking possibilities/
I wonder if she's digging me/
I love the way her hand feels/
But then the conversation ended/
Could this be real/
And I'd like to walk you inside/
She told me go ahead/
But then I walked into her bedroom/
And shut the door behind me/

[CHORUS]

[VERSE 3]

I kissed you on the lips/
And I never felt so good/
In my entire existence/
You looked me dead in my eyes/
Said do you know what you're getting into/
I laughed/
Looked you back in your eyes/
And said the same thing/
Flames of a different breed/
But flames none the less to me/
I stole another kiss from your lips/
Then left the scenery/
Back up in my bedroom/
I was feeling like a dumbass/
I was happy at the same time/
I finally get to know you/
And you shared so many secrets/
And I learned about your family/
That moment at the hospital/
When I couldn't find my car though/
I told you about my tattoos/
I saw your insecurities/
And you saw right through me/
So stay awhile/
Track Name: Darcia
[VERSE 1]

I am the Phantom of the Opera/
Marching/
Walking on a street of black coffins/
My heart has found a new home/
And I'd like to tell a story/
About the Wolf and Red Ridding Hood/
The maiden of a similar flame/
How we would dance together/
This is tragedy for those of you in question/
I said I was a Mason/
And we spoke about her grandfather/
The simple things/
See I remember everything/
Like the first time when we kissed/
While she was going through a breakup/
It came with an apology/
I said that I was sorry/
Cause I'm a different kind of man/
See I was raised without a man/
A silly rascal/
And who was I to think/
That I could win her/
When my mother never brought/
Another man into the picture/
That's irony/
The only love I know is unconditional/
And it seems/
The only love she knows is in a bottle/
Manufactured happiness/
Sniffing lines of pain/
Injected with the venom/
Standing in the rain as she sang/

[CHORUS]

You could smile Love...
- I'd rather watch you.

And you could drop your guard...
- But I'm afraid too.

And you can cry love...
- It's been a long time.

And you can trust me...
- Yea, that's what you told me. (2x)

[Verse 2]

And it's funny when I think about it/
Cause we were laying in your bed/
When I asked you to be my girlfriend/
First/
You told me "No that's not an option"/
That you were tired of relationships/
Tired of the problems/
And I said "coo."/
You were the homie and so I fuck with you/
We didn't have a title/
But we both remained faithful/
You were talking to some dudes on the side/
Just in case/
You found attraction in another place/
I gave you that freedom/
Then you took off on a camping trip/
With some other dude/
That was the first time/
That I ever felt jealous with you/
You see I never spoke about it/
Because we didn't have a title/
But it made it very doubtful/
To trust you with my heart/
As she sang/

[CHORUS]

[VERSE 3]

I remember seeing tears on your face/
You told me that/
While you were gone/
You realized how much you loved me/
When we had sex the first time/
It turned into a bunch of times/
The night the condom broke/
And we were scared out our minds/
I wasn't trying to have a kid/
But you thought that I was/
I still remember all the laughter/
After we had that conversation/
And later on I met you mom/
And after that we skyped/
You kept the camera on/
I watched you sleep in the night/
See we were good/
And we were cruising for the next six months/
I didn't have a nine to five/
And so I couldn't do much/
And then I missed your graduation/
Trying to chase the paper/
We had some ugly arguments/
But none of that really phased us/
I left you hanging out on New Years/
But I wanted just the two of us/
Like fuck those other people/
They weren't doing shit for progress/
The doubts started to kick in/
And two months later/
I was replaced by another man/
I should have known better/
Track Name: Lady In Red
[LYRICS]

[INTRO]
"To be or not to be, that is the question. Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer. The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune"

[VERSE1]
Yo we fucked up and you're right for that/
And loneliness gets counter-acted with actions/
That we think are simple/
And I'll take the blame for that/
Expecting what's expected/
But wasn't expecting your forgiveness/
And so I entered the conversations with defenses/
That's irrelevant/
Listen I'll speak for both of us/
Cause time is never promised/
You locked me out of your existence/
Like how the fuck would I not care about you/
But that's the problem/
You were feeding off my energies/
And I was enjoying your company/
I would have never walked away from that/
But life is but a mystery and I was hoping you were missing me/
But the jealousy and misery began to get the best of both of us/
And fuck it I'm a poet/
So what I speak it's pure emotion/
But it's my lifestyle/
That always seems to contradict my poetry/
It's silence in the aftermath/
We bumping heads in public but I love it/
Cause deep down/
We care for one another/
And plus I grew a stronger heart on like the very day I met you/
You're my red riding hood/
And I'm the wolf that's chasing after you.

[CHORUS]
She got me thinkin' bout the love
She got me thinkin' bout the...
She got me thinkin' bout the...
She got me thinkin' bout the L.O.V.E.
She got me thinkin' bout the...
She got me thinkin' bout the...
She got me thinking bout the love

[VERSE2]
Yo that's my heart though/
And deep down I desired every piece of you/
We was one in the same/
But I was addicted to pain/
And all that talk about you love me/
I questioned that because you judged me/
Try to move on like we moved on/
But my love was just too deep for you listen/
This is my life and I shed a tear for every nightlight/
That I ignite with the pen strike/
But what am I saying/
See I've been hurting all my life so ain't nothing new/
I rolled the dice/
Now I can only blame myself/
For everything that had to happen/
And yea I flirt a little bit/
And conversate amongst my fanbase/
But I would never place them/
In the same circle as you/
I would never let them in my space/
I saved my dreams for me and you/
So now I'm thinking how the fuck is dude/
Trying to sleep within our chambers/
Truth is I want your happiness so I guess I gotta man up/
And take that as a loss/
I'll be aight/
You paid the cost/
But I'll keep you in my heart though/
Cause what we had was true/
You're my red riding hood/
And I'm the wolf that's chasing after you

[CHORUS]
Track Name: Path of Thorns
[VERSE 1]

I'm guessing I was too much to handle/
You tried to walk the Path of Thorns/
To get a dose of my reality/
To study the stars/
I wasn't raised to be a "yes man"/
And her emotions are like quicksand/
So "pull yourself together"/
Or get stuck in the motions/
She wanted space and yea I get that/
But don't blame me for the outcome/
Now you're too afraid to grow attachments/
After the fact/
You said I never understood/
Your insecurities are devilish/
And fuck with my emotions/
With the games that you play/
And I won't speak on situations/
Because you understand me/
And I was the one to bring you comfort/
When you ignored his five phone calls/
And I sat there and held you/
Your makeup mixed with tear drops/
I wiped it off your face or let it fall on my arms/
Now that's attachment/
We've already had sex with one another/
See I'm more than just a lover/
I'm a friend/
You need to get that/
And you've spent your whole lifetime/
Running from the problem/
You refuse to solve them/
But I won't walk away that easily/

[CHORUS]

What are you afraid of/
Tell me all your secrets/
You think he really loves you/
Is lust considered intimate/
Let's switch the situation/
And put him up in my position/
Would he still be a friend to you/
If he wasn't fucking you/ (2x)

[VERSE 2]

I doubt that so fuck him/
I'm not afraid to show my jealousy/
But it's more of a concern/
For that good guy image/
And I watch your every move/
And how you change when you're around him/
Plus you don't believe in marriage/
But you're "in it for the long run"/
You need to stop those silly games/
With that reflection in the mirror/
Yea you claim to be a wolf/
And yet you hide your true intentions/
All that talk about adventures/
And how you're meeting new people/
I saw a post the other day/
To watch you straight deny it/
See you're confused/
And it's fucked up/
Because you'll hurt him in the long run/
How are you going to play the victim/
When you're the source of all the problems/
You see I get it/
Because I've been there/
That's why I'm sticking with you/
You're just trying to find yourself/
But try to tell that to your new man/
And let him know/
That you ain't trying to fuck with him forever/
That this is just for "now"/
And you ain't trying to stay together/
And I bet you/
Based around the circle that he hangs with/
He couldn't handle that/
And that's considered a fact/
That's why I get you/

[CHORUS]
Track Name: Lost In Translation
[Intro]

Got me sitting here, trying not to give into the bitterness.
I don't know man...

[Verse 1]

That's on the low though/
And on the side lines/
Conversation with small timers for dolo/
Oh word/
That's on the come up/
And now she's getting done up/
As the colors of her lips begin to bleed her insecurities/
She use to walk on flat fleet/
But now she's at an angle/
With a mirror in her hand bag/
Now a victim to the vanity/
Compliments bring her sanity/
I'm disgusted at the outcome/
Cause half those fellas just want to fuck her/
And wrap their arms around her/
Let's keep it real though/
Emotions on the ink pen/
She got a bag of broken memories/
To justify the sin/
Let the saga begin/
I keep it real like "what's the problem"/
I never thought with my emotions/
Until I hit the rocky bottom/
Yea you got him/
And I'm bitter/
While you paint a pretty picture/
Erase me from your history/
Like 'Nigga you ain't shit to me" cool/
I give a fuck though/
And I wish I never met you/
Plus I'd do it all again
In hopes to do that shit without you/
I'm stuck in my obsession/
So baby peep the message/
She wants the finer things/
And so I live in my depression/

[Chorus]

The way she moves/
The way she talks to me/
She said she wants the finer things/
I can't afford the finer things/

But when we cry/
And she's next to me/
I can feel it in her touch/
This isn't lust this were meant to be/

[Verse 2]

He said "fuck the finer things listen"/
I'd rather dwell amongst the average man/
And build from the street/
She is my heart and yea I love her/
You see our destinies are different/
See I'm trying to save the world/
She's trying to live it to the fullest/
Listen/
Morbid jack o'lanterns hanging from my window/
Aint nothing changed/
Spit a dynamite pain out in the rain/
And you had me feeling guilty/
But baby that's the game/
And when you hit a bumpy road/
You ride it out or die in vain/
Peep the message/
On the building blocks/
There's a fire in the backdrop/
A hocas pocus voodoo/
My skeleton is see through/
Work before the pleasure/
So why'd you act like I ain't love you/
And now you're dissing my emotions/
While I'm hoping for your happiness/
I guess we jumped the gun though/
Reality in slow-mo/
And it's sad because you jump from man to man/
Like it's a competition/
That recognition/
You never had it and so you seek it/
Yea I said it/
And I hope that later on you don't regret it/
Use to think that you were complex/
You want the finer things/
Now you're just another memory/
That's caught in a dream/

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]

Smiles upon my face are for your hourly comfort/
I cut the vein upon the beat/
To find the bliss within your absence/
These broken fragments/
And my depression on a tight rope/
I spoke about regret/
To find myself above the garden/
I'm broken hearted/
And now I'm asking for forgiveness/
Should I question your intentions/
Is this the cost of nine months/
Cause I want to hate you so bad/
But you built a wall between us/
What is this/
You found happiness/
But what about me/
You threw me back into the darkness/
And I begged to be free/
You're my obsession/
My objective is to know about your fantasies/
Overdosing insanity/
So recognize the dominance/
Cause we belong together/
Like the bloodstains on parliament/
Aries to Aquarius/
I'm in it for the long run/
And a Sagittarius should always stand with the sun/
We are one/

Track Name: Path of Needles
[VERSE 1]

Everyday without you/
Is like a another battle/
I'll document the battle scars/
Show them when I see you/
And I'm back to losing sleep again/
But I'd rather not forget/
Girl you mean the world to me/
I'm just trying to repent/
I want to be there when you smile/
In my arms for awhile/
And I want to be there for your brother/
When the timing is now/
And all them arguments we've had/
Let's throw them out the window/
Cause all of that was fear/
And now I see things clear/
And I know you feel the same way/
But it sucks it had to happen/
For me to understand/
Entire depths of our connection/
I'll be fighting til I get you back/
Let's make a sport of this/
We'll be playing hide and seek/
And you'll be hiding with my heart/
Take a journey to my center/
Enjoying all the small things/
Like infinite compliments/
We'll never need a ring/
See no need for competition/
Because together we're unstoppable/
If someone puts their hands on you/
I'll send them to the hospital/

[CHORUS]

We are young/
But together we can grow old/
Living for the present/
Focused on the future/
And I want to make you happy/
Whatever that may take/
And I know you'll do the same/
The right timing and place/ (2x)

[VERSE 2]

Everyday without you/
Is like a crying statue/
I say these things/
So you can know how much I care about you/
And I'll be chasing you/
Until I get a hold of you/
You're my red riding hood/
And I'm the wolf/
Love you know this/
I'll linger at my bedside/
And wait for things to cool off/
Autumn leaves are falling/
On the path that we're walking/
And I hurt as much as you do/
So I guess that stands for something/
This world has many obstacles/
That I'd like to conquer with you/
Out of site is out of mind/
But I highly disagree with that/
I'm having conversations with the elderly/
About love/
And they all tell me the same thing/
That I need to give it time/
And if it's really meant to be/
You'll be the love of my life/
The other day you had an attitude/
And I thought that it was cute/
I could sense a bit of jealously/
In the way that you moved/
But I told you this before love/
That I'm not going anywhere/
Might flirt a little bit/
But that's as far as I'll take it/
So relax/
Enjoy the sunset/
Until we meet again/
And I'll hold you in my arms/
We'll take off in the wind/

[CHORUS]
Track Name: Rose Petal Bliss
[Intro]

They say I express too much...whatever.

[Verse 1]

She speaks to me through silhouettes embracing/
Find addiction in each others touch/
As if the world keeps spinning/
These spoken words are dedications/
To a love I use to run from/
And ever since we've parted ways/
Our love has grown attachments/
It's funny when I think of all the silly things that we've been through/
Ignite each others zodiac flames/
Up in your bedroom/
Now we give each other space but baby/
Love is unconditional/
And love is what we have so baby/
Time is not an obstacle listen/
You're my heart so here's a melody for your sorrows/
I'm the phantom of the opera/
And I'll confess it from the balcony/
Memories when you doubted me/
Confession/
I've memorized the layout of your body/
And your emotional expressions/

[Chorus]

And she's beautiful (3x)
Physical detachments
Don't help with the attraction

And she's beautiful (3x)
Embrace her in my arms
And tell her that the love is infinite

[Verse 2]

It's dedicated/
To a Sagittarius that lives below me/
And for every single tear you shed at night/
While feeling lonely/
I'll embrace you in the darkness/
And be the shelter you can hide in/
I would love to be your best friend/
But love/
You know we're past that/
Strange photography/
I hate the pain but love the scenery/
If not for you and I than who am I/
And do you care about me/
This life's a journey and I'd like to walk it with you/
And as long as I'm around/
There is no need for feeling fearful/
Conversations on city sky scrapers/
In the night time/
A blanket for your goosebumps/
Cause the hurt we feel is mutual/
You're not an enemy/
To me you are a friend to me/
They say I talk about you too much/
They don't understand the chemistry/
So fuck em/
In the night time we renegade like bandits/
You can be my confidant/
And I can be the man you stand with/
Testaments of fallen angels dying next to Cupid/
We're embracing under moonlight/
Like "motherfuck reality"/

[Chorus]
Track Name: We Eat Our Dreams ft. Kaila Sachse
[VERSE 1]

How you doing/
You know it's been a couple months now/
And I heard you got a new man/
I hope he makes you happy/
See that smile upon your face/
It brings a joy to my existence/
And they said we couldn't pull it off/
But what look at what we did with it/
Our bond is never ending/
Needed space to grow closer/
And I love the way you feel/
When we hug up on each other/
Let my words/
Be a testament/
A message in a bottle/
So when you want to start all over/
Let it be known/
It's not a problem/
Trust/
On my epitaph I'll write it down in history/
Her middle name is Rose/
And she meant the universe to me/
These words are written documents/
To our travel's destination/
And when the time is right/
We'll make our move in the night/
Creating memories/

[Chorus]

We eat our dreams
Don't let em get to you
Don't let em get to you (4x)

[Verse 2]

These are the days of exploration/
And I'm hoping you enjoy them/
And it takes a lot of strength/
For us to move without each other/
Yesterday you asked a question/
And I think I found the answer/
I think that over time/
Our destinies will blend together/
See we're young/
And I get that/
Although it feels forever/
I'll keep you in my heart/
And I hope you'll do the same for me/
If you ever have a bad day/
Just know I'm right beside you/
Don't ever hesitate/
To call my name in an instant/
Because I got it on my epitaph/
And wrote it down in history/
Her middle name was Rose/
And she meant the universe to me/
I could always use your company/
Our chemistry's perfected/
I love your honesty/
And that's considered a blessing/
You see I'm laughing as you float away/
Just know that I'll be back for you/
And when the time is right/
We'll make our move in the night/
Creating memories/

[Chorus]

[Breakdown]

See the sky/
Is the limit/
And we're just trying to get it/
Try to find our happiness/
Try to stay up in it/

See the sky/
Is the limit/
And we're just trying to win it/
So baby are you with me/
I'd like to bring you with me/ (2x)

[VERSE 3]

If it's okay with you/
I'd like you by my bedside/
Cause sleeping by myself is always lonely at night/
You see we're young/
And I get that/
That's why I'd rather wait for you/
And flirt a little bit/
So we can pick up where we left off/
Don't want to be another number/
And when I say that/
What I mean is/
Don't knock me off your list of possibilities/
Cause I got it on my epitaph/
And wrote it down in history/
Your middle name is Rose/
And you mean the universe to me/
