A constant banging seems to be saying Up and leave it, throw it away No need for control, you’re locked inside a hole Through which light won’t pass until the nick of time The nick of everything They’re scheming somewhere, I’m under siege they’re heaving up new ends to the surface life No defenses Just need to curb this dread of the surface On and on and on again Be my guide through common sense Passage floods with dread again A menace not there Has fixed its crosshair At my head and won’t say why But I know the reason But I awaken, I’m rising steady And finally ready to escape in the nick of time merging everything Path to dark, overgrown But can I make it on my own I guess we’ll never know You and me Running away from time, away from story Rescue me Get me away from pride, temporary You and me Together we'll beat this plight, no surrender Or truth will hit Crumble my wall of doubt just in time To view in full my own hypocrisy

All of Me 02:47
All of me is oddity trapped in agreement endlessly Off of route, call for help, is choked it’s all so plain to see At every length with all my strength I beat the wall so hastily Caked in earth, away from birth, doused and robbed of agency Seems all of me, did not agree at night laments inaudibly When I arrive I’m trembling I beat the wall with all my being With faith that these descending steps will lead me where I need to be Love and hate cannot equate feel them fade to memory Could it be that after all these spiral stairs of mine know where The past has gone, emerged and all And all of me caught unaware I wonder where we would belong, these spiral stairs of mine know where The past long gone emerged in all but all is here instead of there

People breaking out and in Cycle ends repeats again Safe to say they’re running from something Probably from nothing Weaving toxic memories Out of mind I’m out of me Safe to say I’m running from something Probably from nothing Please someone give me peace of mind It can’t be so, we all know They lie they lie In heaps of ash and ember This is it then farewell bid them At the edge can’t manage Swept uprooted pushed aside Utter mayhem breaking loose Given birth by pride abused The irony is that during all this The glow is enormous After all is said and done Hard to tell who’s really won Safe to say I’m running from some hell The one that’s within myself Rolling everything lying in its path How can I charge the next, I’m thwarted by the last Another travel fettered, another rope to clutch Struggle to the surface then they plunge in Doomed Things lie in heaps of ash and ember This is it then farewell bid them At the edge can’t manage Swept uprooted pushed aside Gasping breathless can’t help it Only choice, curl up and die

Fit of passion ending as fit of languor starts Thinking we couldn’t be more polar Glee in my enclosure, dead when I step out Flat out disgust is boiling over, bad is boiling over They wanna know your secret, pain in head emaciated To live so right but never like it A simple life there’s nothing that’s more fucked, I’m idle growing old Walls like these don’t hold, they smash to pieces Open up your eyes now, they’re gonna tape them shut Judgement is passed need no reminder Gotta beat the timer, gotta beat it good Don’t want the vain or modest either Every fragment seething, preacher out of wits Vowing to curse the non believer But he looks so sickly Pious clapping pagan laughing Prop me up set me down, I still won’t bow might dream so right but never like it A simple life there’s nothing that’s more fucked, I’m idle growing old Walls like these don’t hold, they smash to pieces.

Blind 02:49
Faking it, that’s how it goes here Keep looking down there’s nothing to behold here Remembering they wanna box you in So fortified, we’ll make the front cause It’s obviously not half of what it once was Can’t wait for night, so over this design It’s why I feel like going blind One more thing won’t change my mind Lie awake can’t seem to shake Such simple things these oaths to break Latent hits, come up to roll you Will pair with doubt and try to pigeonhole you Youth far away but close enough to pull you in Misfirings hand cannons shot blind Don’t lie to me supply the truth this one time Can’t bare to play the role I was assigned It’s why I feel like going blind One more thing won’t change my mind Lie awake can’t seem to shake Such simple things these oaths to break Faking I don’t wanna fake more Thinking I don’t wanna think more Counting sheep in mental uproar Everything is changing Faking I don’t wanna fake more Thinking I don’t wanna think more Counting sheep bound to get left behind It’s why I feel like going blind One more thing won’t change my mind Lie awake can’t seem to shake Such simple things these oaths to break

Catapult 03:08
Another progress comes undone, another sense to hide from Another urgency expelled Avoid the ears escape the stare, no plan so I just stand there Hoping all will up and fix itself Cannonballs are falling everywhere World ender catapults into the air Leave this place and don’t return here It’s coming on can’t stop it Trudge through thicket into black, off course can’t find my way back Deal is done why even try But why’s this space so empty No plan a slave to envy I sit and gander grandeur passing by Cannonballs are falling everywhere World ender catapults into the air Leave this place and don’t return here Result is catastrophic They see you smiling but They’d rather see you fall This simple life is the end of all Cannonballs are falling everywhere World ender catapults into nowhere Leave this place get the fuck out of here It’s coming on can’t stop it Result is catastrophic All feeling catapulted

In Blur 03:50
It stands by the door swung open Holding in hand an omen Licking the water off the ground Pulling you in but slowly Reaching and end but only when All vanity gone no traces found Roused from sleep in blur frenetic brain murmur directs me to a halt Against all odds persist, scribble I don’t exist upon the concrete wall Frozen in ugly picture Feet on each side of fissure Licking the water off the ground Pulling you in it’s yanking Seize it, it’s for the taking The time has come you’d best strike now Give it time, I might just heal this curse of mine Look in the mirror close my eyes Can’t recognize this face of mine So disgusted Will I make it out in time? I swear one day I’ll rise above this farce so shameless and banal I can’t mistake this hint, a similar handprint upon the fucking wall

Time 04:19
I’m seated in a worn out place Catch a glimpse of a worn out face Setting traps gonna fate the past away Time, seated to the back of us No gripes only ash and dust, we’re even Son, quit your prying it’s a secret Son, it’s a lie do you believe me Believing For the last time I will toe this line Between two worlds this one and mine I’m asleep at my origin I feel the ardor of my kin As it’s doused to make room for my escape Time, seeded in the backs of us No gripes in the ash and dusk, we’re even
