Providence 05:20
After so many years of failing And lashing out with unchained disgust I've finally found the one place I don't need to vomit all over the floor, spewing up my rage and guts laying in the fetal position wounded and hoping to be saved VERSE: I don't need a savior No knight in shining armor No one came for me when I was on my knees I had to raise myself up, all alone Chorus: This is no Feel good disney movie There is no happy ending just living Bridge: But if you continue on with hope you might just find The strength within to see it through dont wilt away on the vines Intro Repeat Extended: After so many years of failing And lashing out with unchained disgust I've finally found the one place I'll always be able to

Conviction 05:52
Somewhere in these castle walls In a locked room with no windows Rests a jar of precious nectar Though it shimmers so beautifully in the glow of the torch light, touched by its warmth It dances irredescently in an ornate crystal vessel Curious shapes unfolding, mutating and dispersing Mysteries so utterly captivating, and beyond breathtaking, I start to find it irresistible Grant me conviction and self control Let my aim be steady and my focus stay true Curb the distraction of the attraction to this self destructive black hole I want so much pour it out, to feel it coat my fingers running through, breaking into streams and drops To watch it spread over floor, and see how it behaves when freed from its container But its value deters me Can't afford to waste something so precious The glass is so fragile it shouldn't be touched Lest it crack or shatter Curious shapes still unfolding, mutating, and dispersing Mysteries so irresistible Grant me conviction and self control Let my aim be steady and my focus stay true Curb the distraction of the attraction to this self destructive black hole Oozing through every gap in my thoughts No matter where I look, its colors encroach on my periphery, narrowing my window to reality A vortex swirling, centrifugal force pushing outward, the pressure cannot be contained the pressure cannot be contained Coated fingers, hyper-focused eyes I watch it drip drip and spreading till it dries My thoughts are empty, mind is blank Revelling in this brief escape Grimy fingerprints now tarnish the glass The pressure is relieved but that never lasts Drowned away the urge but it's been replaced With Guilt and Shame My shortcomings I am a junkie and silent respite is my high Not an ascension but a break from the cacophony I don't know what I need to do to make this craving die But all I'll have is broken glass if I don't break free I want so much pour it out, to feel it coat my fingers running through, breaking into streams and drops It dances irredescently in an ornate crystal vessel Curious shapes unfolding, mutating and dispersing Mysteries so utterly captivating, and beyond breathtaking, I finally find it irresistible Can't afford to waste something so precious The glass is so fragile it shouldn't be touched Lest it crack or shatter Curious shapes still unfolding, mutating, and dispersing Mysteries so irresistible I am a junkie forever more The silent respite is my high But it never lasts beyond this single moment Need to watch it spread over the floor, and see how it behaves when freed from its container And its value won't deter me

Interference 04:15
[Transition to verse 1] En route through the medium Messages make their way But they may become victims Of interference [Verse 1] Immersed fully as I keep with All the ups and downs of life But sometimes, seemingly at random Something changes and I find [prechorus 1] A degree of separation Like watching through a screen I try to pay attention Take it all in, but [chorus] The colors and the contrast start to fade The images are distant and delayed Interference overwhelming every band The signals are to weak to understand [verse 2] Another broken promise from another forgotten conversation I know i've said it a thousand times but i'm sorry It all seems so unimportant experiencing the separation The effect on those close to me makes me worry [prechorsus 2] So hard to recall I hate knowing that I can be So uncaring and cold I hate who I become when [chorus] [Breakdown 1] A Curtain of static descends Cosmic microwave blasts through Almost unintelligible Abstracted and reduced Unrelenting grating, concentration starts to slip siezing cramps assault my hands, loosen my grip stabbing in my ears and light burning my eyes I need to get away withdraw in side my mind Lost connection to reality The screen is full, yet so empty Could it truly be said that we're free When we lose our ability to see [Breakdown 2] The poetry is now just words The meaning is removed Lobotomized, We're so desensitized Humanity is soothed
