Your beginning
Outlined in color Incapable of perceiving Every object an artifact that's held To this concentrated worship of this material I cannot understand My eyes go black and for the moment there is a lamppost in the forest, it is the only source I will find its light. I seek for truth, I want to find it all. I seek for truth, I want to love. But if it’s all lost, I count I count backwards three times Now look at me with my lost glassy eyes And then they started to go One by one they started to break through I know you're with me I feel you with me But there's no sunshine or rainbows found here today I wish I could feel something more Nothing more Either on print or tele I wish I could feel something more Nothing more Golden slivers Always dreaming Always alone I walk these fields I walk them alone With my dusty hands I got from the ground I've been here once before in a dream I was searching For my lamppost And golden slivers Remove. But I loved these people Yet I loved this strange life But I want to go back Back to where it all started I wanted to feel something Something better than this But I know I can't These dreams help me remove golden slivers 02.

I will travel through this dusty felt landscape
I will travel in time somehow Somehow I will go back to where it all began Where it all started Where it all so I... Cut out the old soul But if it won't go The same grave that I fall entombs to remain The companion I loved and would love to say bye again. Through the tall grass and out the corkboard forest There's something left for the foliage and past experience I cannot forget my yellow winged bird above the trees I have traveled through this dusty felt landscape And things were so different this time around I cannot recall what really happened here Oh nostalgia you are the wintery cold of my heart But you can't kill my last wish. There's a cure for this I can figure this one out But it's starting to create a small form of doubt Conclude the day relax through your fingertips and unwind your mind. Epiphanies start in the head A construct believing we all should be dead Just wait for it. You know the pain resides in her lungs You know the pain resides in their lungs You know the pain resides in the lungs You know the pain resides in all of their lungs You know the pain resides in my lungs 03. The Benign Author: Construct
Now we see the man arise
He's waking on a pretty daze and through the haze He tosses through the technicolor dreamscape to the factory Bliss is a substitute for reality Your perception of the human life has left her here You will start to write another story inside of your head You must move on above these memories Now you wish you could see the light Through the broken window, there's your guide Oh my guide the light Oh my God the light All because my life Oh my guide the light Every day every setting is the same Pick it off right where it left me She will start fresh, she will start anew But that I know I will do things differently You can see I will craft my own path. These words I speak to you Go wipe the slate, you've grown fond of these memories But I know you won't ever go see this end, go rest your head But not here, not now, not ever again These words I speak too Cut out, cut out the old soul But I know it won't go easy But if you pull hard you'll know just how far How far I collapse into myself now that I found my own truth Now we all pray Now the congregation comes to the knees And all the horror as they look up at me The congregation starts to pray I am a complex God I have a God complex Of course my children I love you Just do the two things I asked you to do Wipe my mind and make sure you clear the slate And I'll make sure you go home today All your lives are filled with luxury And awe through all few things you ask of me Through the perception of the human mind We cannot conceive there is no time Now. My yellow winged bird you are universal dear to my heart Universal so... Break these walls with a thousand hammers And jam these cogs with my philosophy Oh how I would love to watch this city crumble right inside my mind Through the perception of the human mind I cannot conceive the constructs This is just another story, right? Please someone let me know Someone speak to me Someone, somewhere, somehow Some may know someone speak to me Lift the fog The altruist appears, she raises her eyes Oh my God, got to cut it out I know you'd like to keep these thoughts in mind But they really have to go Slowly raise her face to see the sun She understands now it's time for me She understands it's time for me to go You know we've been given the same heart but I will craft mine different ways With ceramic mind and glassy eyes... Stitch and sew the heart Dreams and love pull through the eye Needle and thread become the one to show It's just a manifestation of my own 04. Nihil
Life
You think you found the cure? It resides in the lungs I am the self perpetuating spirit oh yeah Cut the love they had in the beginning Don't you try to lie cause I'll have none of it Dead (in my head) Man (I am dead) Dead (in my head) Bones (I will be remembered) I won't be remembered Oh yeah again that I am the self perpetuating spirit Oh yeah and I won't have none of this, none of this I won't have to rip the cage I roll, take these lungs and go Heart beat so long Progressing on the fact that I won't have none of this, none of this I won't have— burn alive. Where do they go when they go home? Where do they go? I would love to know Where they go I would love to be there But I know I can I fucking can give up You lost your way, in the light of day No you won't be coming home, you won't be coming home soon You lost your way, in the light of day You won't be coming home no, you won't be coming home soon You won't be coming home No. You've cut it out, the heart If home is in the heart Then bust it out its shell Watch it living and beating Slower, Slower Lower, Slower 05. The Vagrant: Inanimate
The exposition of existentialism
My Apollo, how you burn like the wave of retro Old Mr. Red Eye Don't you know of my generation Young Mr. Dead Eyes The boy at heart That would love to watch his art burn Right in front of my eyes Ten tense nights I spent inside my nine minds I hate the seven men who bring the sickness I feel cinematic blur I see there faces they come through through embers I can't remember a single name I can't remember one fucking name With cinematic blur I see there faces they come through through embers I can't remember a single name I can't The fact I will fail Wring out my mother's tongue and speak the words she said Word for word verbatim I can't feel my face through my hands Oh glass turns back to sand now Over and over the overtones Peel the skin off watch how they grow I cannot remember why they broke Now see their faces They all form in semicircles Yet I won't listen to another word you speak You put your right foot in front of the other And do the little ditty that you know You remember all that I was all you are We’re standing in a circle just to let you know You will find me here all alone. 06.

07. See The Sun
I've been given a map
A guide to life that's handed through generations And I will journey back to the black That black void is where I will go And all of the people I could be, the result is me I want to journey back to where it all started A love lost that can't say I cannot fail tonight They force feed off the living, for constant happiness and regret I fail. They force feed off the living, to let me know that this can't. My body and brain will become one Just as long as seconds left to see the sun My body and brain will become one I know it won't fail just give me one more time. How far you let yourself go? My body and brain will become one Just as long as seconds left to see the sun My brain has come to a understanding of itself I loved, now to find the eye. I said it, go Let it go I know in my heart you won't let it go Till one day you die All I wanted was to paint a pretty picture Pretty, Picture, Pretty Die. When I first see the sun Overlooking what once was There's a chance I'll see the light Something more, nothing more When I last saw the sun Overlooking what I've done And this day lasts a lifetime But it makes no difference to me too Yet all I really wanna do with you. Left it on the ground to brown. You force it down You hear that thunder, that’s my mind in ground Across this town You hear that thunder, that’s my mind in ground You hear the waves crash down across the sea I never once looked blue. Awe. Breathing Everything is lost and you are sinking effortlessly Next time my friend. I fucking never believed in nothing Falling face forward into the back of my mind For the first time, maybe the last time I truly felt my heart I want to see it, smeared across pavement For the first time, maybe the last time I truly felt emotion leave my life I never wanted this all for you I counted backwards 7...6...5...4...3...2...1 Fuck you let's go home I've been given a map I've been given a map that leads nowhere But I will follow this to the end I turn my back to ground now I see the sun I loved this life a lead but now I see the sun Let go the feelings I know won't forget Now and in my mind they turn to grey Along the mind they know the way The congregation starts to sway I am a complex God. Got to know God I know I love the God I know God I love this That you can't force this Got to let you know how far I gotta fall How far I gotta call to you. Process, consume all you love One more time. I know they say my mind must go I feel the love of gravity pulling me There it all goes through the window I cannot feel anything When I first see the sun Overlooking what once was There's a chance I'll see the light Something more, nothing more When I last saw the sun Overlooking what I've done And this day lasts a lifetime But it makes no difference to me too You know we want our way We want it, we want it our way The neighbors they say hey, come out enjoy that nice day You'll never quite experience the wave of the retrofuture our way We want it, we want it Our way down, way down our hole Down our way. When I first see the sun Overlooking what once was There's a chance I'll see the light Something more, nothing more When I last saw the sun Overlooking what I've done And this day lasts a lifetime But it makes no difference to me too They have so much left to give not enough to give up on life This time around maybe one day they'll figure it out This is nothing Nothing to me and no, Nothing to you One more time, cascade mind mountain Until next time see the sun rise 08. Aperture
Hi my little angel
You are my one true love I know I won't ever see the sun again Under my skin You cascade the story of what words are Under my skin I died no luxury To daydream alone Your beginning outlined in colors incapable of perceiving Daydream here alone Daydream here alone Finale of a greater me Force feed the bleeding Divided thoughts lay out by the pool See the sun, feel the air This is a better way, solutions proved my whole self to you Peel the sun, free the air I felt my body I died inside it makes no difference to me too I tried. And daylight died it means nothing to you Layers of my failure Now you're on your own. |
