Hinder (Jett Black Version) Poem by G J Salgado

Intro to 'Hinder' 
The whispers of my secrets kept me locked between the walls just to let me back out. Only to let me fall once again; over and over I failed myself. It drained every last piece that completed me; draining everything that was left. But there was really nothing ever left of me. Only her; she looked like me but I was not like her. The difference between her and I was that I was born, and she was created. Somewhere that still wasn't very far from me. Though we were world's apart, I always knew she was there; somewhere hidden beyond the galaxies. With lightyears and planets separating us throughout the ends of time; I knew that she would come for me. Whispers on the edge of our inner most secrets. Of all the secrets that I've hidden you were my most beautiful obsession. But I never knew that you were only a delusion. Kept in dark corners waiting to change into the slightest shadow. Just to hinder for the moments when I held you the closest. Waiting for my memory to fade. My magic and imagination couldn't keep you alive. Since then I locked the gates of hell. A new soul escaped from me forever opening the doors of my own heaven. Drifting further from your own hell you created something new. A fire burns where we used to be. I set the world on fire just to see you breathe. I let the smoke breathe inside of me. Until ghosts of tomorrow were born inside us. We were the wildest of fires in the night. Unlocking the devilish and the holiest of all things. And still these fires burn from our stolen thoughts. But the wars have torched what was left behind us. Butterflies shall rise from our ashes. Reversing the wonders of life. So sad that you didn't get the chance to see me. I'm sorry for everything that you never knew. That light burned out a long time ago. So sorry that you never knew the me inside of you. 


-Hinder (The In Between)

They pulled me out just to put me back into the flames

Demons sent out to find me

But I'm unmarked by any name

Black eyes cannot see

They've spent too much time chasing my ghost

Collecting things from me along the way that they need the most

I was never there but my scent will still linger

Antagonizing the illusions of what I hinder

You got close to my flame

Held it in your hand

We were written by name

Burnt into the sand

You disappeared into my fire

It built us an empire

We were characters in a story that lived not so long ago

We were strangers just looking for a place to call our own

You got too close to my flame so I burned the bridges down

I never wanted anyone to get too close

We weren't afraid of what we had found

I never knew that you needed me the most

You were a reflection of me

I was your everything

We were a beautiful creation forged by the flames

We were waiting for that moment when it came

The flames were calling us by name

Then we made our bullet butterflies rain


-Hinder (Exito)

Something about you is kinda sketchy 

You're weighing on my heart very heavy 

You crept into every crevice of my skin 

I've mistaken you for a crawling being 

I never knew that I'd ever be a survivor 

I look back and wished that I could've saved her 

But she's trapped within time 

I wish I could go back and change everything and make it mine 

Maybe then we would be safe 

If I could go back in time to change her ways 

The waves of the ocean could've saved me 

If only I could save her and all that we would be 

Had I known then what I know now 

But her and I were trapped between time some how 

I know that I can change it all within time 

Through all the things that have became mine 

Time is still the one that leaves us within 

Perhaps we both can learn how to live without 

Translations from my former self have spoken from the grave 

Unmarked, untouched, and nothing left to be saved 

The hands of truth unwind 

But the moon never left us behind 

It's reflection there inside of our eyes 

It flew upon the wings of the butterflies 

Bringing new life into the world 

Singing new songs upon the lips of an innocent little girl 

The music was her keeper 

Only I could keep her 

So she kept me inside her heart 

Though we were the same we were still galaxies far apart 

Certain things in life weren't so kind 

The clock had found us and it did rewind 

Changing the night of all things unseen 

Reversing us and all that was always in between

I've dreamt of such a place 

My soul rearranged among the same face 

Never wanting me to leave always wanting me to stay 

I looked up and howled at the moon then I finally ran away
