So sick and tired of this sedentary lifestyle You're bringing me down I guess that we could stay for a while and feel it around Space in between What does it mean Nothing, yet everything Friends into foes Nobody knows That's just the way it goes Quietly, she speaks to me Through her glances Normally, not supposed to be Taking chances Patiently, observing me She advances I won't know 'til I see the way That she dances Too far gone The lights and faces seem to blur together What's that song The temperature rises in here, every measure I think it's by that one guy I heard that he's cancelled now Bartender, change the music Nobody wants to hear this Derivative drivel, over and over again In the meantime If it's alright Dance by my side Hold me tonight So sick and tired of this ever-fleeting lifestyle You're keeping me up I guess we should've left, before it got so wild but it's never enough Fiery, her energy She entrances Looks at me, like old T.V. Romances Rarity, just let this be Circumstances Now I know, 'cause I've seen the way That she dances Space in between What does it mean Nothing, yet everything Friends into foes Nobody knows That's just the way it goes Enemies in love As below, so above Life, and the lack thereof

Shed your egos with us Take the elevator, the easy way up Consume the all, become the else There's nowhere you need to be That isn't yourself Time flows only one way We'll meet again someday Let go all things both ways Maybe we'll be okay I tell myself to keep growing up But I'd lose my damn mind If I cared too much Keeping your distance Ain't bad for your health There's nowhere you need to be That isn't yourself But all I crave Is one simple act of connection (You can hate me all you want) Watch this! Just say I'll be brave I'd teach every bigot a lesson (I'd grab them by their greasy collars and I'd say...) My own eyes, they gaze through your lies Horse too high, tear you down to size Your tower will crumble to the ground No power, you'll stumble- How's it sound? Cries of the exploited You know that this could've been avoided So, shed your egos with us Take the elevator, the easy way up Consume the all, become the else There's nowhere you need to be That isn't yourself

Fell Apart 04:17
I fell apart Fated failure, straight from the start I pried the art From dead fingers, they still latch on to me If originality is dead I guess everyone's a thief I feel pressure to Be all I can be Reflections of you In everyone I see Soon you'll go Soothe your soul Just let me know If you plan on leaving me Alone again From paper, straight back into the pen You reeled me in Then cast me out, for reasons within I fell apart, Fated failure, straight from the start I pried the art From dead fingers, they still latch on to me Alone again From paper, straight back into the pen You reeled me in Then cast me out for reasons within

Vacancy 04:24
I've spent every moment like it's last But truth be told, I haven't saved Like another story comes to pass I wait on you to turn the page Bright eyes I see you looking through me Black skies Stars align renewing They can't see the traces for tomorrow Vacancy, the air that you can't swallow I can't breathe! You've got me in your chokehold Let me leave If only you could let go Agencies pacing at your footholds Basically, that's as far as you'll go I Can't Breathe I've spent every moment like it's last But truth be told, I haven't saved Like another story comes to pass It's up to us to turn the page Bright eyes Black skies

Sanctuary 08:23
Stay with me for a while Let's get lost in the wild Even on our darkest days I don't care what that may say Through the forest, through the trees I don't care where things may lead I just gotta let you know That this ain't all for show And I'm not letting go Stay with me for a while Let's get lost in the wild I've been waiting way too long and I've been singing the same song I've been waiting way too long and I don't know what I did wrong I've been waiting way too long and I've been singing the same song I've been waiting way too long and I don't know what I did wrong When life starts getting scary You're my sanctuary I just gotta let you know That this ain't all for show And I'm not letting go Stay with me for a while Let's get lost in the wild Stay with me for a while Let's get lost in the wild

Lately I've been searching for nothing Maybe sometime This will mean something Aimless endeavors Patience matters Paint me what I seem Wake me from this dream You know what I mean Lines left in between Scatterbrained again Scatterbrained again Lately I've been Searching for nothing They thought it was hell But it was purgatory Eyes blinded Eyes blinded Scatterbrained again Scatterbrained again

Parallels 04:12
The dichotomies in everything Running on parallels Still energy, I'm nothing I see you walk away Hit with resistance You decided to listen Words to be unheard Only whispered perceptions It's not meant for me It wasn't meant to be Keep this to yourself Bring this to your grave

Tame those thoughts Of spiraling anxiety It's a shame you've lost Your confidence to incompetence Drifting apart In head and in heart Finish only to start Your life is your art Take this and you will go far Time flies by our window Casting light on the shadow Sunflowers in a meadow Tell their tales of the space we can't perceive Can't you hear the echo Voices call from the unknown I wonder as I fall Do I retain the self? Or do I join the all? Take this and you will be small

Sunabouzu 04:36
I try not to ask too much Too high off the ground Can't look down I let go, and I fall Only to crash Insatiable sensations Weightlessness Painful pleasure Attainable vibrations Aimlessness Shameful leisure All I've ever wanted Was a strong heart To accept my weakness And all the flawed parts If that's too much To ask for I don't wanna be Here anymore Insatiable sensations Weightlessness Painful pleasure Attainable vibrations Aimlessness Shameful leisure I try not to ask too much Too high off the ground Can't look down I let go, and I fall Only to crash

Hereafter 08:08
The price of piety weathers the shame Gash in my back Before the shepherds came Hauling problematic proverbs Even the worst won't sustain Pulling back on points That led to the slaughtered's pain All's quiet Like everything's right where it needs to be No riot Retired to bliss of eternal sleep Lost sight Of everything one was meant to keep Detritus This festering soul for the earth to feed All's quiet Like everything's right where it needs to be No riot Retired to bliss of eternal sleep Lost sight Of everything one was meant to keep Detritus This festering soul for the earth to feed Wipe the stench off your breath And call me a leper 'til my weeps cease Ellipses, she's gone to the great hereafter They feel the warmth of drugs release And we're the ones who suffer after Entropic heat death Looming on the cusp Boiling last breath Returning to dust Wipe the stench off your breath And call me a leper 'til my weeps cease Ellipses, she's gone, she's gone! And we're the ones who suffer

Baking out the living room I believe I'll be leaving soon But, if I wish to go I'll surely let you know Let you know Hanging on to these little threads Keep it all inside my head Cause one day, I'll let it go For now I'll let it flow, let it flow Let it flow Let it flow Let it flow I can see to a higher path Add, subtract, yeah, do the math Cause if we find the key Then we will be set free, be set free Once I find my breathing space See myself again, face-to-face I'll always see the glow Of light lost long ago, long ago Let it flow Let it flow Let it flow Try and simplify your life and Don't divide your time into a shallow mind Your soul is divine So cry your eyes out on my shoulder I will want to be there when you feel all right To be by your side If I wish to go I'll surely let you know
