It's hard for me
To sit and watch, to grit my teeth and bear it
I know I'm not the only one
And honestly
Honesty and decency are rarest
In the guilty that seem fairest
Liar - tell me now, tell me how
Do I dare to be the whistleblower?
I believe
That what you want and what you need
Are separate realities
I know that you're not fearless
Shut the door
Bring the focus back to your own reality
Not someone else's demons
Shut your eyes
Bring your focus back to life
Not these intuitive conclusions
You have made inside your own mind
Misogyny
Runs rampant in this place I swear it
A new disgrace on every corner
Apathy - a cold and bitter lack of understanding
And I will not forgive this trespass
Liar - deceiver - betrayer
Tell me that you hear this
Shut the door
Bring the focus back to your own reality
Not someone else's demons
Shut your eyes
Bring your focus back to life
Not these intuitive conclusions
You have made inside your own mind
Calling on aftermath
To teach you the lessons you deserve to learn
Taste your own medicine
You will not live to get away with this
I know you
And I can read your mind

Out From Under
04:30

A stark realization indeed
Cold and reptilian
The scaly skin of all my demons
A wretched fever closing in
A welcome sin as I begin to doubt
Can I bring it out from under, out from underground
In time to...

Shifting Sands
03:55
|
|||
|
In a far off distance
I thought I saw a gleam of light
Though maybe not so bright
In a single instance
My thoughts can turn against my state of mind
Feed my fears tonight
In a bitter outcry
I rage against the sky
And fight the turning of the Earth
If I could stop time and freeze the shifting sands
And plead for a rebirth

Follow
04:03
|
|||
|
Fall asleep, stay awake
Forget all the things you know
Rearrange, recalculate
Forgetting the overtone
We wait, we wait
To face the undertow
To walk the world alone in silence
When you go blind like me
Well, maybe then you'll see
When you go down in the deep
I'll follow

In Spite

I could never run, but I long for an escape
This old town's got a grip on my mistakes
Faceless souls and silent enemies
Disappear into the blank tranquility
All my life, I've been waiting all this time
These days roll on in spite of my crimes
Oh my god, tell me what have I done?
I search for the light and I'm not the only one

Traveller

Traveller.
Follower.
Light fades away.
White, turn to grey. (Saturated)
Clouds just below, falling far, letting go.
Feeling faded, far outdated.
But if it were not for a reason, if it were not for the truth
We would be letting go
And if I didn't feed the demons, if I didn't need the fuel
I would be empty
Will it break apart inside of me if I don't follow through?
Fading imposter
Much like a waterfall
Much like a waterfall
Flow smoothly and calmly
Then force me down rapidly
Until I hit the bottom
Will I reach the end of these rapids?
Or will I be swallowed by the ocean?

Walk On A Wire
08:26
|
|||
|
Drowning in shallow water
Feeding me phobia
Part of the working class
You give in
A pious, ungrateful fulfillment of life
Behold the man with clocks for eyes*
And keys for hands that you despise
That's not the way that I will choose to live
Feel me wake up, rising over
Lift this weight off of my shoulders
Pain is nothing, life moves forward
Taking control, give the order
Hold the fire in your eyes
Your freedom has yet to arrive
So you may find a better way to live
I'm missing parts of me that I cannot retrieve
They were burned away gradually
But I remain faithfully
Piling up the wood all while they stoke the fire
Climbing atop the high funeral pyre
Dazed and confused we all walk on a wire
Hoping for a better way
