Observation, true intention Put your hand on the moving ground Alienated, stress related Makes you feel like you never tried Disconnected from a world that's turning round Come to think of it, you've heard before this sound Don't want to spoil the fun, you'll find it on your own Get it together, you don't want to miss the show So long, so wrong What could be is overrated Take your place and push the sky And you feel so elevated Come and join as we push the sky Did you ever crush before? Confuse day with night? Did you ever see the storm that came inside? So specific, so terrific Yet the sign reads: "Tread carefully" Unless you seen it, unless you've been it You won't understand its necessity It's before you, a clear canvas like the sky But you wonder why there's never dye The brush is moving, at least the colors aren't wrong Thoughts arrive to let you shine

One sigh comes like an uneasy stitch One life prepares itself and slips Before it all begins I think he'd like to say "It's what it is, no need to place any blame" Before it all went down, he used to be so free and careless, so engaging clear sky above, still ground below Oh how he used to enjoy the great outdoors Taking in everything,no need to know anything else, they told him "You can have anything unless you are behind all these curtains" Making shapes with a deck of cards Pushing pins to mark the stars With bare feet upon his hardwood floors Oh how he used to love the great outdoors I will hold down this fortress Until I remain intact I will block out all this nonsense Until I start to snap What more can I learn on the outside That I haven't read about already? I emulate the feelings and I expect the outcome Inside, I am mine I'll stay inside

Subconscious 04:36
It's one of these nights, swirling around, trying to fit in my one-by-two And it's two o' clock, many more miles yet to go through With the road blocks every ten minutes or so Still speeding too fast to pass them by and say "STOP"! But this occured to me lately: that's not how you work now is it? You'd prefer to deter, turn them into bumps so that they won't meet my glare, with every opportunity missed to stop and think, I get pissed that I can't stall just for once going round and round, pick one straight line that leads to one sign: "You're going down" Underneath the ice gets bigger And it never melts Underneath I'm growing weaker Why won't you let me sleep? Another turn, been there, done that, not that it matters It should be "one more hit and the glass shatters", but no You let me ramble on and now it's 04:00, way past tha bedtime of broken thought And still I haven't begun repairing, nothing forms on the empty pallette of the ceiling I'm staring Agonize over the sour taste you'll leave me in the morning How many more times until I'm ready? - I'm coming... Underneath the ice gets bigger And it never melts Underneath I'm growing weaker Nauseous subconscious Let me go to sleep.. Let me go to sleep..

This is not my strong suit I am used to go full blown Prematurely erected I can never get connected You seem like one to believe in One who knows how to turn the world Control all that moves around you Is this what you want inside you? You've met someone, but I don't know who that is This is not how I'm used to I don't entertain much And I always look for my exits But you don't seem to offer me such You've met someone, but I don't know who that is Me, or me? Me, or me? This is not your fault, dear Salt my wounds now if you dare, and then some I'll be yours forever But fuck me why I even care You've met someone, but I don't know who that is Me, or me? Me, or me? Me, or me?

I'll clean your wounds tomorrow I'll abide by the rules tomorrow I'll reap what I've sown tomorrow I'll take another form tomorrow But tonight I am on the spotlight Tonight my suit is pressed and tight A cure for your broken heart, a song for your better half Count your losses tomorrow Seal this with kisses tomorrow Tonight I'll be a better you Tonight I'll see my plan through, you see I am like a sign explainer A poor enabler A fine reminder, until I get paid A mute singer A vocal signer A truthful liar with no urge to explain Say you'll love mine and I'll love yours Say you'll hate it and I'll hate you too Can you treat me like a stranger? Next to you I'm only better A cure for your broken heart, a song for your better half And as I hear you stutter I'm drowning you harder As I finish what I started I'm drowning you harder ...And yet this rift restrains me ...find someone to open to

Hinder 07:04
Is it too much to be asking for? If I shut up, will these feelings go? What if I always linger? Is this going to be permanent? Will I ever get to make amends? What if I always deter? Busy roads make me lazy Busy people shut me down Why is it that I crave it so much? Why does it always have to hurt this bad? What if I could be different? Is it too much to be asking for? If I cave in, will these feelings go? What if I don't get better? Busy roads make me lazy Busy people shut me down Leaning forward, bleeding inwards I can't wait to lie down before you Leaning forward, bleeding inwards A spectacle for all to see But why do I care? I'm almost there Appearing before me is a thick-bricked compound This building that I've found tickles the memory I can't wait to walk in I can't wait to lie down And pour out constantly Inside Abusive facts, I kid you not Disrupt my entire train of thought And huge amounts of information Coming into my direction, I try to process I blink and blink,they move away Unable, I perpetuate It cannot change and so can't I Discern concern, but lazy I am moving past it I should try going slow Brick by brick I'll cut the flow The question is, what will I build? A cage, a home, or a playhouse for the mentally departed? It's hard to form cohesive thoughts Sometimes I can barely connect the dots Maybe I am a drama queen But lately I've been feeling like a house that's haunted I've met someone, you know, it's going well She's not perfect, but I understand A perfect outlet she might be What's that they say, project and relocate the problem? I know, I know, I'm talking shit There is still hope for sympathy Read me please and tell me why I fantasize about release, when I'll see her battered? I hope I didn't get you scared I know sometimes I get unfair And hinder my own clarity There's nothing you can do for me, I will stop sharing

Open Wound 06:37
Underneath the blankets, the blackest of drones It runs in circles and shortens the flow It plays in silence, it shows in the dark It reads between the lines and tears will apart Cross your heart and hope to die? Stick a needle in your eye? Maybe I could show you the size of my heart It grows three sizes, then drops down to half Spills on top of piano keys, ties around the strings Makes a morbid statement and adopts all living things (It might pass, it needs time) Cross your heart and hope to die? (It feeds off a broken mind) Stick a needle in your eye? It won't pass, it doesn't need time It breeds in circles, it becomes sublime It's funny how looking back I feel like my choices don't deserve me My diary stuffed with bad years, flowers that didn't grow With winter impending And comes the time when I don't scare off saying I am afraid Maybe this is a step forward by itself? I was meant to push the sky But maybe the sky is pushing me No desires, no direction, no tomorrow My wound is open Say it's not so Say it's not so

Day and night collides Oh, so beautiful Our time expires Breathe out through fire Breathe in again Our time expires Meant to retire Many days ago Our time expires Break lights get brighter On my face they are Our time expires So calm before the storm So proud, but overgrown Resentful and detached from any form Roadkill ever since you were born

You formed the structure that breeds destruction. It comes crushing down. Push the words to paper.

Exit Wound 10:08
It doesn't feel like home anymore Despite all the things he brought indoors The past tense is aching Unease as to what the next day holds He sits and counts the stars above The ceiling that holds him under Four walls reflect his flaws And a floor as cold as murder Awake in bed he blinks away Hating he's so juvenile Examples brought to stop the rain And force him to simplify Not brave enough to face the fact He had always what he wanted A piece of paper stands intact And a feeling of 'how much longer?' Push the words to paper Moments before the storm He gave birth to something he can't hold Can't cast it out, can't live without And it's piercing his perception Deliberate, yet inconceivable Describe the circle you've created Oblivious to the patience But acknowledging the need to structure To retrace and reframe Results in his personal fracture It's not ok, reciprocate Before the storm He gave birth to something he can't hold Can't cast it out, can't live without And it's piercing his perception Deliberate, yet inconceivable This exit wound calls him home And as I heard you stutter I drowned you harder I finished what I started I drowned you harder Moments after the storm His pieces return to form And if he's brave to look inside He'll find the missing picture Moments after the storm This exit wound calls him home Won't cast it out, or live without Won't be scared to let it linger Deliberate, yet inconceivable This exit wound calls him home. Through day and night, under our eyes again we grow and we crawl, under our eyes again

Now, just before the sun hits his face He laid down all the patterns Million stars above his head His pins away in boxes His past now stares him in the eye If only to remind him That scattered pieces fall back in line But some leave a trace to tie him To things that made him who he is And show what he will be To look back and understand More so what happens now It's okay to stay indoors You won't be happy all the time Bridges burn but you understand It should happen from time to time Doesn't scare me today I'll feel this over and over Pick a role and sustain Know that I don't know The sun will hit his face and shine down all his patterns Stars will hide above his head His pins will stay in boxes Awake at night he thinks it's alright There's a lot left to unravel "Isn't that always the case?" and a grin on his face It's time to stop and say goodnight To what once he felt To what he'll feel again To whom he ever cared They'll be here tomorrow To all the worrying he did To all the lives that he lived To all the places his mind Went and drowned in sorrow To all the love that he missed To all this war and peace To all the time it took To move on to tomorrow Say goodnight.
