1. The Dreaming Disease
Words and Music By: Jesse Lacharite
Album: Oubliette Trilogy - Future
I think I'm flawed
The schism begins
I come apart
It starts from within
what brings us down
Pushes us to the ground
Is it beginning to show
How it takes it toll
The bitter thread that holds it together
Only for now, and not forever
You could say that I'm dreaming
Life lived in shades of evening
The weight of thousand things I don't need
Pushes down on me...
I lament as I fail
It's easy to follow the trail
The ashes of dreams left on the way
You begin to wonder, when will it end?
A cruel joke that continues to happen...

Echo of Yourself
Words and Music: Jesse Lacharite
Album: The Disciple of Zuul - Act III
The damage done to the self
When we're taken off the shelf
We'd like to believe
That we're strong enough to face it again
We all forget it
Until we come to accept it
That we're running from the pain
The memories They shatter to pieces
As they ruthlessly continue to tease us
The threat that unravels
The thread of our lives
We all forget it
Until we come to accept it
That we're running from the pain
I'm a million miles away
With my head in the clouds
I'm not really sure I want to stay
An abandoned ghost town
That lives in my head
With all the things they left unsaid
It's kinda hard to say
When the moment is gone
It's not a game we choose to play
Will I win or lose?
Another scar for my efforts
I wonder why I even loved her...
In the depths of despair
You realize you don't even care
What makes you a man?
I know you won't understand
Light me on fire
And watch me burn
Ashes, to the ground I return
The faded signs that remain
Tell you that it's over again
A bitter reminder
Of a life you can never live
Light me on fire
And watch me burn
Ashes, to the ground I return
The illusion of stability
Propped on pills and insanity
You're fundamentally changed
And lose your perspective
Light me on fire
And watch me burn
Ashes, to the ground I return

2. FuckedinStereo
Words and Music By: Jesse Lacharite
Album: Oubliette Trilogy : Future
It's dark on lovers lane
When the music starts to play
It's a sick game...
that I, wanna play with Genie
The dark melody that sets the mood
I've got my hands all over her
It feels so good
The way I'm touching her...
But then things start to change
They get a little more frantic
The trust turns to fear
As she see's where this is going
The fear turns to panic
As her movements become more manic
Her legs are spread wide,
Time for me to give her a try...
In times like these
The mind shuts down
In an attempt to minimize
The viciousness of the moment
As the tears are streaming down her face
She's laying there in a stunned state
My ugly leer...
As the headphones melt to her ears
In Genies mind
She barely notices what's happening
To her body
it's all fluffy blue clouds
And endless beaches of white
There's that pain down there
But I'm starting to get used to it
It will be all over
It's just a matter of time...
As Tim approaches the car
It's filled with smoke, he's freaking out
Genie's in the back
Barely holding on after the attack
Tim is looking around
Then he notices the walkman
He heads into town
To the hospital....
Then to Ragmans....

4. Chrysalis
Words and Music By: Jesse Lacharite
Album: The Oubliette Trilogy: Future
The shadow of humanity
That remains and stains my purity
All my feelings have been
Denied...
The product of severity
Where the tears and fears are a casualty
Is it a wonder I've turned from the
Light...
I wasn't always so
There was a time not long ago
When I had the desire to love
But when your family
Embraces violence and austerity
You become a shell
A vessel to be filled
Oh the night you see
It brings a kind of clarity
and you start to perceive
your place in the world
where you come to learn
there is beauty in the suffering
as you embrace the dark in your soul
When you start down that road
You stay to the left and start to erode
your foundation is built on lies and hate
Make no mistake
I'll kill you all to erase the pain
I've found my purpose in the end
As a child I was locked in a room
for hours on end
as a man I'm a reflection of the wrongs
and the punishment
I haven't an ounce of pity
it opened my eyes to a new beginning
The thought of entropy
dissects my will to be
I scour the earth
looking For meaning in the obscure
Finally I was shown
a piece of the master plan
The charred ruins of society
Will serve as a warning to humanity
That pain breeds dreams of death and decay

Apophenia
Words and Music By: Jesse Lacharite
Album: Oubliette Trilogy: Future
Another year slips away
As the heart bears the weight
You're hollowed out
Diminished by self-doubt
Once you used to be the King
The center of everything
The throne usurped
By a complete stranger
The light dims
And the loneliness begins
Left to wondering
will you ever be happy again?
The laws of entropy
Every thing breaks down eventually
Left to ponder cynically
Suicide, seriously...
And you start to lose faith
The be-nighted shrines
Slaked by the blood
Of a thousand lives
Across for attention
Up for results
Join a chatroom
Get it on film...
I've thought of thousand ways
To end my life
Overdose on pills
Fall from on high
I couldn't care
What gets left behind
The broken dreams
The dark times
The shadow of your former self
Acts as a reminder
To never trust again
Look what it profits...
Love isn't real
It's just how we're programmed to feel
Biochemistry,
Lasting temporarily
You need the will live
Give it time you'll get over it
You start to love the hate
While life it dissipates
Receding further
Into the nether places of the mind
Warped and twisted by time
Padded thru the world
Through the use of anti-psychotics
I feel three feet thick
I gotta wonder what's worse
feeling depressed or living?
I could be wrong
I've thought it out
There's no point anymore
People won't even notice
When I'm gone
A bunch of things
In my room
To try and represent me...
In death you see
I'm finally set free

Stale Gold
Words and Music By: Jesse Lacharite
Album: The Oubliette Trilogy: Future
Running faster than ever before
Trite lives are like a spinning door
The ruin migrates to the fore
Try to maintain but we always want more
It always easy to see what's behind
Bends in the road are easy to find
Near misses that leave a mark
Direct hits that knock you down
Blind eyes that finally see
No more tricks or mystery
The world laid bare
And getting fucked is just part of it...
A little more cynical, a lot more nihilist
Everyday the struggle is real
Really?...who fucking cares?
The truth is never clean
The tainted currency of being
When you realize that love is cold
All that glitters is stale gold
Do you see the dichotomy?
You first then poor ol' me
Our favors are bought and sold
For the price of stale gold
The apex of stupidity
Dispersed digitally...
The twilight of enlightenment
When facts don't even matter in the end
Only a narrative
That's forever changing...

7. Black Hail
Words and Music By: Jesse Lacharite
Album: The Oubliette Trilogy: Future
I see the sky darken
Bruised, cripple clouds...
Spinning on an axis
Powered by emotion
The calm and the silence
As the hail starts to fall
Strip the flesh off of me
Is this a crisis of identity?
The little pieces of me
Decimated indiscriminately
I've had it coming for awhile
I've had to work through the denial
When you're broken and you're bent
It's a lonely descent
Through the abattoir of doubt
I wonder when I sold out
I've tried to see
What the hell is wrong with me
The wind lashed coastline of my soul
Just coming to terms
For better or for worse
The cycle of erosion
The endless trail of supposition
We're all our worst enemies
Believe me...
The eye of storm
Keep pushing me off course
Set adrift can't see the stars, no map, no compass
Water, water everywhere,
And not a drop to drink
I scuttle my ship and go down with it
When it sinks...
I can see the fingers of God
I couldn't hold on

8. Kingdom of Really Bad Habits
Words and Music By: Jesse Lacharite
Album: The Oubliette Trilogy: Future
Nothing can set me free
All alone, the darkness closes in
There's something wrong with me
I've scrapped the years of loss and sin
I want to laugh, to feel again...
But I'm disconnected and torn to shreds
Try to master the pain
As it pulls me under once again
Living in chemical haze
Upon a stage of misery I play
Cuz nothing ever goes way
And I'm sad to say that I'm the one to blame
SOLO
When daylight fades away
It's time for the demon to stoke the flames
Burning what was me away
Until not a single piece of me remains
In it's own fucked up way
I can't resist the pull and sway
Try to make it through another day
The prospects of death warm me
Like a summer's day
Living in chemical haze
Upon a stage of misery I play
Cuz nothing ever goes way
And I'm sad to say that I'm the one to blame
Don't tell me everything's ok
You only know to lie and betray
And soon will come a day
When the ashes me will be washed away...
