To what do you not drive
Mortal hearts
Accursed hunger for gold?
Cheaply bought, but deadly sold
With new light they shine on through
On fields of shredded goals
Reap crop of clinging hope
Harvest our brave new world
Ancient woe, be gone
Foul illusions of better life
Compared to what, I ask
Does this truth of life coerce?
Juxtaposed they are not

Let the light
Be less annoying
Don't expose me like this
I won't lose my way again
As long as it's dark enough to see
Welcome blindness, transparency:
No system of harmony
More accurate than this
Welcome bleakness, disconnection:
No yearning stronger
Than the lust for self-preservation
Let it be only skin deep
Don't expect me to shine
I won't look too deep
As long as it's dark enough to see
Let distractions become illumination
Don't question what you see
I won't toy your patience,
As long as it's dark enough to be
Forgotten, ignored, redundant, adored

Polluted the ways of days to come
What more am I than what I've made?
Apathy as virtue, a self-made trap
Seated in the front row
Too ignorant to care
Turn this fatal mission
And I shall be redeemed
Ring true with creative visions
Damn it, I live, I breathe, I care in life
A new beginning, I'll find a way
Daunted by decades

A promise to betray
A betrayal to remember
Where the wave broke
And flushed us back
back into the sea
Could have carried us farther
Mired only by ourselves
Horizon glowed in morning
Though vile was our resolve
Where the wave broke
And flushed us back
back into the sea
Would have brought a new haven
Sadness, that bitter failure
Night's embrace was colder
As the starts lit
One by one
Where the wave broke
And flushed us back
back into the sea
Should have gazed beyond
Ashen clouds that covered
Saw us huddle
Fearing

In this skeletal form, rupture skin and flesh
Wake these eyes of bone to life
In this skeletal form, rupture skin and flesh
The ashes of the dead arise
Past an enormity of stifling redundancy
We suck breath into this dry carcass
With joints that crack and veins that run gravel
To set in motion, exultant
Skeleton, churning rivers of smoke
Skies laughing with blood
Islands separated by a fraction of surface
Conductors through holy submission and humble duty
Shed an iron shroud and inventing fire
Vibrant ghoul, birthing thunder and lunacy
Serve
Reaver, fool, carve justice from within
Priestess, exacting judgment of a silver globe
Apparition dissolve
Dissolve and depart
In this skeletal form, reverberate and shudder
In this larval state, germinate and stutter
In this skeletal form, carry until it is over

All that I see can conceive
Your wanton indifference derides
Decisions weren't hard to deceive
How we fooled ourselves
When it died
Searching for a new place to hide
Afar from your vile, naive complacency
Burning
Scathing
In nausea confide
Mocked in sudden ecstacy
In the earth
As in fire
Fundamental laws I repel
The fool I was,
Allured by desire
Corroded and hollow you feel.
All and more you could not see
When the frankness would devour
Though the flesh trouble me
And the world tempt me sore;
The victor I was to be

Please stay awake
Our defining moment struck
The power faithless
Struck
While we were contemplating visions
Visions ran us by
Immortal
Yet decayed
Oh truth, this bitter lie
Though it burns like hell's fire
Scorched are all but us
Did ambition not prevail
While mortal seasons fled?
We seize this carving,
Here and now
Or the earth shall strike us
Dead
Though it froze like cold destruction

Prey for the blood red sun
Prey on the life itself
Prey for the blood red sun

So I remain the misanthrope
The words I spoke left unheeded
No lesson learned, no will to hear
You never knew what you needed
The world denied
Mockery my reward
This world deprived
Of it's essence
So I guess I'll try my best
No need to maintain the lie
Your eyes and ears sewn tight shut
Your stagnant vision prevails
That's when I wanted it to end (coward)

A silver sky and I lie down
You don't provoke me anymore
These hours try,
As we go down
And horror yields a door
The light outlives the setting sun
End a day to shun
My senses slip,
a lie begun
From all to none
The black as painted by the moon
Colour filth from which we're hewn
Beckon hell it ends too soon
All waning hope and ruin
The storm that rose the crushing gale
Awaken into dismal pale
My senses blank, the sleepers veil
Where and why the burning fail
A nightmare catalyst

Feigned
The image of a world unfolds
Deluded, but divine
It sees us mocking gifted grace
A stolen self
Will not succumb
See your face in the mirror
It's your image on a face of another
See your principles
Constantly wither
What is this will but a riddle?
In splendor
We were born again
Renewed and whole,
A chance reborn
Sustenance
We've found
Yet we tear it from our minds
So find a way through these foes
With your tears
Scattered around the wound
It scares us not,
This path's design
Run these demons gone amok

I wake to see
The bastard children thrivning
The plight
Your burden
The Scourge abiding
No matter what the conseqence
I have only knives for you
I will be your storm
The strike you never knew
You litte man
No willful melancholy
No matter how you plead
This wind to right you folly
Crushing worlds in front of you
Gushing through the trial
I am the wind
I am the storm wyou'll always flee
Find you there
Where the sun smote

Arms gagged
I'm flat on my back
Those nauseating grins
Covers all light, blackest lies
How unconcerned we swallow
All which we're fed
A revelation came to me
Integrity, a new entity
Genuine and truthful
I smite your grim design
Taunted, unconscious
I woke to find a life
Arms gagged
Tied to the back
With no questions asked

I lost this
I surrended this
Carry out the sentence passed
They nurture no more dreams
In acceptance this mute was given
Voice, as he fell from the sky...
And everything was bled into this
Hold me down this time
Killing slave emotion
Letting all pass through
We wed darkness, worship the light
Tragedy woken from slumber
Once again given voice
As it grew out of the earth
Reinvent and pry it open
Spine bare, hollow shell
Kill all slave emotion
Lying, soothing voice
And there is no horizon

Where have we gone?
I find it harder to connect
And I find it farther away from me
Where did you go?
Where have I gone?
I feel my wound is healing poorly
Scar tissue render me frozen
Bitter
Where is it now?
What have I lost?
Give me back my demon
Call me back my demon
I feel the void won't swallow me
Has it been torn from my heart
It takes us so long
Are we waiting for nothing?
Summon back my demon
Sing for me my demon
Foreboding this uprising
A vermin coronation once again

Cold eyes of fire
Talk to me
Stillborn desire
In the air I breathe
In our wanton spirits
I read
Closure,
Nauseating rites
A face and heart I heed
Unprecedented,
In longing
As we soar still higher
As Icarus we'll plunge
In longing manner we'll admire
Into depths all unknown
Soul and purpose set alight
Over barren lands we've flown
In transmission

Through this thievery
I'm cheated of my precious time
Anaemic, starved, in depravation
Hope once cherished lost
Pawn, prisoner -
Your blood is not your own
A thousand apathetic eyes
Yet not a single tear
A different kind of slavery
Seemingly chosen
Thieves are what you are
Bought right from the start
World-order degenerate
Preaching scavenger art

Eyes are bleeding
Scolding heat
Succumbing to the wish-
Not to feel anything at all
Rolling waves of nausea
Seeping through
My mind
Darkest abyss of conscience
Time will swallow
Converge upon me
Crushing all I see
Take away my pain
Purifying rain
I am swept away
Skies are gray now
No sun to guide me
The balance of opposites

Under siege, mental chains
As a caged rat
My will condemned
Fallen on faith of others
What the hell had I?
By god, I wonder where's my chance?
I'd sell my soul
For just one glance
Nourished on forsaken lust
Covet memories, long to be
Born of promise and devotion
Caught and bled for thee
Tired, soulstrained frantic
I free these shackled hands
On wings of promised faith

I still feel the sting
Of my burning crimson passion
Determined to take to control
Of this one life I've been given
Every passive second
Submission to rules not set by me
Within us all
Lie the seeds of endless grace
... And I would rather drink poison
Than relive this freezing hell
Screaming at the walls
Of my charnel prison
(of my own making...)
It's far too easy
To just bury yourself
Another man in shackles

Life cheaply spent
All feelings put aside
Deep paralyzing anguish
Pays the price, twisting the knife
Eluded for so long
My path was clean
I thought it was long since gone
Now the faces come again
Delving into depths
I never thought were there
Racing with turmoil
All visions distorted
Facing devastation
The course now set
Rebuilding from destruction

A Goliath so spasmodic
Turn of events,
ominous, historic
Safeguard a creed demonic
Love of war and war for love
Through this age
The ranks of the disaffected swelled
The spectacle of imperia
Wheel of doctrine in motion
An industrialized anemia
A wind of retaliation
I see your blood-red eye
And your sore interpretation
No comfort when you die
Let's talk of origin, a common source
Indus festival of man
You see, the way the river flows
We are one, in grimy fever damned
And I'm tired, sardonic
And I'm tired, sardonic
Dancing
To your dirge catatonic
To hear these precious bells in harmony
The dispossessed, and their manifest,

Spare me your righteous lesson
This path I walk is mine
Those hollow words you speak
Won't change my made up mind
How cheap we buy our ideals
A standard set for all
How dull they seem, your idols
Submit, the worm is turning
A mind gone numb
The stinging mockery
All I feel for you is pity
It's easier to let go
Than cling to shattered dreams
I lost control
By my own choice
A mind gone numb
The stinging pain

[Wound:]
Inching closer
Corrupting my ambition,
Saw your wretched incarnation
[Scorn:]
Growing colder
Retire my frustration,
Turning fire into stone
[Disease:]
Decimation,
Biding time in apathy,
We partake in betrayal
[Monument:]
Invite destruction
Embrace sweet silence
I bury all
My inner sculpture
I hide all

Sediment upon sediment
Lapping like waves at my spine
To linger in this fury
You versus I
Welcome opponent
You versus I
Negation in smothering grip
To behold and despise
Yet if I strain my eyes
I still glimpse an unspun
Mile of lies between us
So tread lightly
My enemy
Sediment upon sediment
Lapping like waves at my spine
To linger in this fury
You versus I
Welcome opponent
You versus I
Negation in smothering grip
To behold and despise
Yet if I strain my eyes
I still glimpse an unspun
Mile of lies between us
So tread lightly

A legacy of pain
Born into suffering
Bound by some spiritual chain
Cowering under
The weight of a cross-shaped shadow
Your definition of sin
Leaves mankind crippled and cold
I pity this mindless dependency
Confess to none but yourself
Who better to judge your actions?
No damnation awaits
No man is born sinful
No rules are set
Salvation won't be found
Through self-induced starvation
No judgement awaits

Hear now what I tell you
Men shall know of this
They shall sleep content
With certainty they'll see
And here's the secret
No hidden logic in the seasons
Dreamer's topic denouncing
All forms of reason
Every lie to a child
Every beating of a promise
Embody all the scourge
Something beautiful to throw away
Let the weight of the centuries bend you
And the light of clarity blind you
I tell you of humanity
It's come to rise unbound
Finally to Earth

What is the nature of this?
A standard always amorphic
Strange, how easy to list:
Routine tediously cyclic
I don’t know where I get it from
I rely so much on expectation
Castles of air amidst this very sober reason
Yes I profess abnegation
(Great hopes, little one)
But never you mind;
(I’ll bear your delusion)
I admit that no one is sovereign
(No, I don’t even try)
Not even I
I admit that no one is sovereign
(No, I don’t even try)
Not even I
And never you mind – I’ve asked nothing of you
Nothing which lies at your promise behest
Never has nothing rang through
I don’t know where I get it from
I rely so much on expectation
Castles of air amidst this very sober reason
Yes I profess abnegation
(Great hopes, little one)
But never you mind;
(I’ll bear your delusion)
Master all by easy hand,
I commit no act of violence
Marching to the strike of fragile cadence
And I see you in the corner, distressed
Somehow I’m not impressed
I admit that no one is sovereign
(No, I don’t even try)
Not even I
I admit that no one is sovereign
(No, I don’t even try)
Not even I
But I wonder, when did we decide?
If you’re determined, I promise it’s done
I am with you

Moral shadows dancing on these walls
A surge of insight amidst the fall
To know this commonwealth again
The spectre growing ever tall
And no creed remains
Only filth detained
No more wanton blindness
Disregard the value slain
In these halls – words of grandeur riding
A western code, I detest all placid laws
Only creatures of the earth abiding
The fowl of the air
And the fish of the sea
As these I conjure
Us rendered unity reborn
I exterminate the I
Disappear
Flee
Not wither slowly away
The wind will carry me
To leave behind that which plagues a man
To simply flee
And you moral shadows dancing evermore
No surge of insight
Acuity closed the door
Forget a commonwealth again
As I exterminate the I

There is a place where hindrance is dead
Visions gone wild in a burning red
Dream my friend
Ever in rest
With your head in your hands
And your gaze fixed firmly ahead
We are safe here
A black winged angel watching over you
And you dream
And I pretend
Sleep is all I ask
Rest from all these bitter ends
I've found a place where I won't be missed
Steering clear from those jaded eyes
I've murdered apathetic
Your numb sense becoming my fix
And I dream
Far away from these tortured lands
Cast away
Spewing out the bile
Purge me of the vile
Home
Home
It's there

Wing's riding evening breeze
Skies run vast around
We'll find our place there
These Borderlands abound
Strike a path through air
Flapping winds of glory
Below the fires on the moors
We fare and end our story
Haven for the weary
Flight's end summarize
Journey to an end
Rest for broken wings
Ever purging
Time through sand
Adorn me wings of plight
Nesting in the Borderlands
Sting our cherished flight
Connect again

I see the cadence
Random
But altogether clear
This scorn was never mine
Though it's all that I hold dear
Futile charity
Holy promises
I dream it all away
This consequence is yours to keep
I shun it all away
Stone, buried asunder
I burn
Stale fever running high
Clawing at my skin
The temple
The wraith has had it's say
In the bright
Transparent light
Stone, buried asunder
And I define a wanton cold
And I decline the patterns of old
You will never defeat
The cadence sublime
Stone.
Buried.

I, author of strife
Spread ashen wings
Mad avian glare
Sharpen both talon and break
Simplify to
Modify to
Amplify to
Carry them to war
Heave, hordes
Bring me their heads on a plate
Heave, hordes
Lord of their doom and their fate
I, shepherd of fools
Congress of goats
Fell masses bleat
With lust for black blood
I will carry them to war
Simplify to
Modify to
Amplify to
Carry them to war
Heave, hordes
Bring me their heads on a plate
Heave, hordes
Lord of their doom and their fate

Shifting eyes turn with shade
Slave, a false entity
I saw their hearts flood with ashen dusk
Liars, scorn of foul delight
Forgive me father, for I am sin
I rejoiced triumphantly
As goodness turned away and shut
It's bleak and weary eyes
This manifest of fundaments
I trusted you to see
Buried stark and tepid will
Come to life, oh fill with empathy
Smiteful bearer of hypocrisy
You shall crush beneath the sky
Damn your frantic bigotry
Remorseless, we shall win

The city I am
My alleys veins, my water nurture
Nobody need stand on ceremony before my doors
I am a home to you
And to them
Of ashes they come
In sackcloth cloaked
Much was told of me
Listen to my names, different by tongue
A rose by any other name smells just as sweet
The banners flying in the wind over my towers
Purposeless
I have no flag, no religion
No loyalty
I harbor all but stand for none
A waver, declaring my immunity
Diaspora
The one without religion inside the dogma
Listen to those long gone
It is they who are loyal to me
Those in sackcloth
And those who yearn for me
Some are pious, some cater to whims,
some provoke
But I am a labyrinth of layers
Find only sense
Without a compass

Burrowing deeper down
To where life is stripped to its core
What lies hidden must be found
Letting it go, vanquish my fear
To what extent is life imposed upon us?
To what extent do we lead it?
I wish I could wipe the slate clean
I wish you all would
Enshrouded in darkness
My heart is black but shining
Falling into a lifelong slumber
Eager to face this dark night of my soul
Like timeless dreams
Reality reveals itself
I wish I could awaken from this nightmare

We used to care
But things have changed
Where joy should reign
Painted lines on your face
To grasp your gaze restrained
So tranquil the outside rain
Stillborn, my child
Underneath the skull of night
The cold has a voice
the one that made me so old
And sweet determination
That versatile thing
It's not consolation
You are here to learn
We were born in this town
Where we cherished quiet rain
Stories everywhere
Lives were sculpted here
In this town where few know love
Our communality once so strong
Things here have changed
It airs no need to hold
I would like to meet the villain somewhere
He who tore apart
Burn his eyes with fire
And then step back, fall into peace
And watch the silver rain

Itsuko got married in the spring
So did you see that new band that she's in?
I swear to god
I swear to god
I swear to god like nothing that you've heard of
Ryan got sent home from his commune because the
Kibbutz found his hands too big
To operate machinery
And watches come in one designer size
Smallest
Ely hates the sound of all the ants that
Roland keeps in jars beside the bed
And if they crack would they eat us
As swifty and as soundly as we slept
Oh, God, please?
Tiny nanobots will try to fix your broken heart
Jacob's paranormal tendencies are duly noted by his enemies
And Katie knows he reads her mind And this extends beyond the carnival
Hooplah
Older only by two minutes more we find Clive's evil twin is beating him
So why did all the muscle genes determine to get busy in one egg
It's unfair
Shula met a TV entertainer and she sends him packages of love
Authorities now intercept, they recognise the writing in her fevered hand
Scientists will find a way to make you smile again

Our days of piracy are over
Hold on, that costume becomes you
Take a shot now, aim true
Believe me
Take a shot now
We're leaving, Lando
I thought you said you were blind...
Have you ever been shot down?
Broke down, we're just soft opportunists
That's why our peril makes us laugh
I'm sick now but I'll see
Believe me
I'm sick now but-
We're leaving, Lando
I thought you said you were blind...

There's been an accident, oh no
Bring some oxygen
Bring some oxygen to save our lives
He'll be the saviour of our world
(a head the size of earth)
He'll be the saviour of our world
(yeah yeah yeah)
Bring some oxygen
Bring some oxygen to
Breathe, breathe
(la la la)
Hey Charlie, hey Chuck
We're floating seven hundred miles
(to take us to the moon)
We're floating seven hundred miles

And now the atlas boy is king
(yeah yeah yeah)
Bring some oxygen ...
Breathe, breathe
Hey Charlie, hey Chuck
To anyone
Any wonder, how his head could get so big
And if Peppermint Paddy was a boy
(yeah)
You've got to
Breathe, breathe

Loud loud loud
Treadmill for the cortex that is stretched -
you'll like what happens when you look for it
Sound sound sound
If necessary reject tat which clogs potential casing for the thick black stuff
I've got something you like
I've got ...
I've got something you ...
So fill me up to the brim
Fill me up to the brim
Until my head caves in
I'm feeling like - drinkink
Drown drown drown
What happens if the ink pours out your pores? -
Well that's the price you have to pay my friend
Space space space
Trim the fat from all around -
It comes from places you haven't even tried before
I've got something you like ...
So fill me up to the brim ... drinkink
Don't -
look there -
even under rocks and walls -
you won't find it there -
it tastes to me -
cigars and tea -
so smoke it -
time is sacrascanct to all our causes
So fill me up to the brim ... drinkink
I've got something you like

Wake up, it's here, your ticket out of this town*
Where the air is cold and the smell so stodgy, stuffy, stupid, lifeless
Hey! Gonna get me some new shoes, cos I'll tell you this
You won't be seeing my face in this place
And now I'm gone
That's right – we're gone and that's the way its gonna be
Yeah! we're gone and we won't be coming back
No! Never! Try and hold me down all you like
Huh?! What?! Did somebody say something?
I'm talking to you
I don't want to know – I'm sorry
I've waited so long, you won't just take it all from me
I walk my own path I know the way, he said to me
"I built this home from scratch, I know it's not much to the eye.
It's just another day of waiting for something new in my life"
They say its for the best but I want to leave this place
I need to get some rest, failure's a certainty
They say it's for the best but I want to leave this place
I need to get some rest, failure's a certainty
It seems it's slipping away from me
The air's so cold and the smell so stale
It seem's it's slipping away from me
It's time, it's in my hands, so I'll make it work, it's got to work

So throw us a lifeline
And we've only begun
We're just moving about in a clumsy manner
So come on everyone, jump on
To this mighty ship that's sinking
We'll sail around the world together just briefly
So now you're drowning and I don't know who to save
We've sung you song after song
But we're not moving
We are drifting away, you are dragging us down
But we can all rejoice and say that we have shared
The same boat
It's all we ever wanted to say
So throw us a lifeline
And we've only begun
You wont let it go, no no
'Cause your roots are rock solid
So come on everyone, jump on
To this mighty ship that's sinking
We'll sail around the world together just briefly
So now you're drowning and I don't know who to save
We've sung you song after song
But we're not moving
We are drifting away, you are dragging us down
But we can all rejoice and say that we have shared
The same boat
It's all we ever wanted to say
We're drifting away from you right now
So throw us the lifeline
Call out to me, call out to me cause
We still don't understand
We still don't understand
We're drifting away from you right now
So throw us the lifeline
Call out to me, call out to me cause
We still don't understand
We're drifting away from you right now
So throw us the lifeline
Call out to me, call out to me cause
We still don't understand

We've got the windows open wide
Hope a gentle breeze will dance on by
And clear the air
And now the time has come it seems
To shove some pills down my throat
To see if time will stand still
I, know
I'm feeling fine its just in my mind
It's a fine line that we have drawn
We've got the windows open wide
Hope a gentle breeze will dance on by
And clear the air (Of this six year old dust)
And now the time has come it seems
To shove some pills down my throat
To see if time will stand still
I, know
That I'm feeling fine its just in my mind
It's a fine line that we have drawn
I see the lights don't, burn bright
It's clear that nobody's home tonight
Despite whats told to me
Ive watched the seasons going by
Turn an infant to a child
I still don't know what to say
But how the hands on the clock
Over on that crumbling wall
They tell the truth
Ive been disturbed from my dreams
By a party in my veins here and now
One thing is leading to another
Why encode this into my life?
There must be a time and place
To just ride this wave out
I see the lights don't, burn bright
It's clear that nobody's home tonight
Despite whats told to me
I've watched the seasons going by
Turn an infant to a child
I still don't know what to say
And if, the lights don't burn bright
There's nobody, home tonight
You know there's nobody home
(I still don't know what to say)
And if, the light don't burn bright
You know there's nobody home tonight

My eyelids are heavy as I pace back and forth
Can't stop this racing through my head
The gates are clearly open here and I can't hold myself back
And when the time has come
We'll do what need be done
We won't bide our time
We won't bide our time
I've seen this road ahead a thousand times
To know that it goes on for miles and miles
And I know it's okay to be treading water
'Cause when I'm here I'll always feel the same
The gates are clearly open here and I can't hold myself back
And I can't hold myself back
And when the time has come
We'll do what need be done
We won't bide our time
We won't bide our time
I've seen this road ahead a thousand times
To know that it goes on for miles and miles
And I know it's okay to be treading water
'Cause when I'm here I'll always feel the same
And I won't lie low now for this show, no
And just let it slip away
No I won't bide my time
For the rest of my lonely days
Gotta break away from these clutches
Of another day inside of your perfect world
Not a friendly face done nothing wrong
Blind to the real crimes we fight on
And I won't lie low now for this show, no
And just let it slip away
No I won't bide my time

Stop standing around complaining
I'd love to see you boot on the other foot
You're treading on thin ice
But you will not sacrifice
Whatever it is you hold so dear
Let's build the bridge that crumbles under our feet
Lets dig a virtual tunnel
You're still standing around complaining
Well I heard a theory
That given enough time anything will heal
This might be our last night
Where, we follow so blindly
We'll severe the ties
Build a dam in the river now
I'll vent what I want to you
I'm indifferent to what you want to hear

Everybody knows
That it's just the way things go
Can't eliminate desire
That explains the sad expression
What it is I see over in the distance?
Something that I can't let go of
Its inside of mind
Its in front of my face
But needless to say I'm motionless
Take me home, take me home
I am your burden you have to bear
When I shut my eyes I don't need sentiment
Its something I could do without
But we all have to abide
Everybody knows
That it's just the way things go
What is it I hear through this deafening silence?
The fortune teller error is near
The worst is yet to come
And there's nothing here at all
That I or anybody else can do
Take me home, take me home
I am your burden you have to bear
When I shut my eyes
I don't need sentiment
Its something I could do without
But we all have to abide
By these terms
Working a frightful nightshift
Were just working a frightful nightshift
Everybody knows
That it's just the way things go
Can't eliminate desire
That explains the sad expression
Everybody knows
That it's just the way things go
Can't eliminate desire
That explains the sad expression
Ohh it's just the way things go
Can't eliminate desire

This is not a waste of time
And now I can tell you why
'cos I didn't know what it was we hide
So if theres one thing I can take from this
Was that I should have known ignorance is bliss
I'm kicking myself for putting trust in you
Just when we thought we were done
What is that you say my son
You don't take to the way that were inclined?
One thing we can use this song as
Is a means to say how you don't captivate our minds
I'm kicking myself
Draw the line and help yourself
There is a task awaiting you I'm sure
But I am glad I'm not part of your life
(I hope the feeling is mutual)
Why did you not state - when I couldn't find my why?
I'll tell you its the way you're made
I know that you're all the same
Feed horse shit day after day
But we wont eat from your plate
Well hello sir

I'll agitate your consciousness
You'd think it would be over by now
But my body is drained
And my limbs are weak
I will just falter alone
Lets kick things off with a warning
I know its fear of the fear that has me haunted
Dear mid-life melancholy
Please fall or sink to the bottom
I will lock you up and swallow the key
I will lock you up and swallow the key
Oh lurking discretely our path suddenly meet
I can't remember what I came here for
Dear mid-life melancholy you'll no longer find me
Just as I am, just as I am
Lets kick things off with a warning
I know its fear of the fear that has me haunted
Dear mid-life melancholy
Please fall or sink to the bottom
I will lock you up and swallow the key
I will lock you up and swallow the key
I will lock you up and swallow the key
Cause I know that we will meet again
Oh lurking discretely our path suddenly meet
I can't remember what I came here for
Dear mid-life melancholy you'll no longer find me
Just as I am
Oh lurking discretely our path suddenly meet
I can't remember what I came here for
Dear mid-life melancholy you'll no longer find me
Just as I am, just as I am
I've been wondering for days now
How you've got this hold on me, this hold on me, right here
So I have made a choice, I choose to stay inside now
I thought the grass was greener on the other side

This is your story
This is your story as I see it
You've done some right but
Your judgment's blurred
This is your story
This is your story
So far
Well it's catching me up
I can't break away
Everyday I'm learning the hard way with no end
No end in sight
Take me home
We'll find a way
We'll find a place to hide, from you
Take me home
I've had it up, to here with the way life is
Well it's catching me up
I can't break away
Everyday I'm learning the hard way with no end
No end in sight
Well it's catching me up
There's no end in sight
But I seek to break away
From what I've become
From what I have and have not done
No there's no end in sight
But I can't break away
From what I've become
