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

Dreaming in Binary
04:58
|
|||
mind numbing dreams
like poison seeping in
Rectangular Prosthetics
hiding so man sins
separation of humanity
locked inside these dreams
losing our identity
as we break at the seams
do we see reality?
or are we hidden
by the struggles in these dreams
this bed a tomb
comfort in this digital womb
no truth will previal
our end is coming soon
information overload
the struggles in this life
cannot hide the fire in our eyes
mask the horror
behind false beauty
information narcosis
dreaming in binary
We curse our gods forsaken
our lives serve no purpose
we are only meant to function
a biology of data and loss
our faith once whole is taken
now upon a cross
this universe of lies
the endless black we see
a sleep deformed by numeration
is the source of this separation
comfort in this hive
hiding this deceit
the powerful survive
by trampling the weak
living out this life in automation
never question the purpose of your creation
with us or against
we have drawn this line
the many for the few
we will not be sacrificed
impressions of a world
destroyed by mankind
pestilence of the earth
no one could dream of these times
will to overcome
the struggle to survive
this cannot be undone
the slavery of this life
information lost forever
in these dreams
we seek shelter
bound in slavery
these chains sever
war for freedom
wont last forever
battle for life
binds us together
in sleep we never
see these daggers in our backs is death
the only way to escape
the poison of these dreams
like blood still seeping in
searching for an ending
this battle will begin
search the world for context
exiting the womb
we rebuild this world
we exit from our tombs
we will see reality
this freedom hidden
by the darkness in these dreams
this bed a curse
ecape from this digital womb
our truth prevaled
our lives begin anew
this universe of lies
the endless black we see
a sleep deformed by numeration
is the source of this separation
comfort in this hive
hiding this deceit
the powerful survive
by trampling the weak
information overload
the struggles in this life
cannot hide the fire in our eyes
mask the horror
behind false beauty
information narcosis
dreaming in binary
