A little haze bound itself into my eyes
A little haze rots and corrupts my insides
A little breath I know that I need to live
A little breath my way can kill your will
I say ten more steps this way and you can see
But haze told me that once corrupted I can't be free
I want to believe in opportunities
But everyone only believes what they see
(And I feel blind)
And just like that you lose two years
And time is a ray that won't stay near
Yeah the clock is falling out
(And you fall out)

The Ghost of My Breath
07:34
|

Imperfection holds weight over memories
I was taught perfection hides behind a lock and a key
But half of our teachings are fantasies
Or at the very least unreachable by me
Imperfection's a ghost in my chest
With an icy palm over my breath
Everyone says "Can you hear it?"
I turn away but I can still hear it
Spinning sounds will fill me up
Spinning sounds will tear me down
But inwards I hold desires
I deny that I set them aflame
Burning patterns engraved in my brain
Outwardly I hold steady
Daily routine of the needless
Looking down to remain in my muteness
Marching down pavement roads in the dar
A pointless trip that seeds me with worry
A couple steps that stop me from breath
And now I've disappeared from your eyes
A second more for me to fade away
A second more and I won't be afraid
You've got me right where you want me
Just close enough that you can haunt me

Playing Dead

Two days and you've erased
You're completely unaware
And I know your young spirit has faded
And you're feeling pulled down to hell
Instead you split yourself in two
And you beg for reconnection
But you're standing still
Two days and you repeat
Like a broken clock
You only move forward in your mind
You ask "Apathy, will it be the end of me?
Oh, apathy, will this time be lost at sea?"
You write crosswords on your arms
But didn't want to fill them in
Pain isn't worth your time
Yet you yearn to finish it
Still red ink floods the page
Drowning your mind's desire
You thought you'd erase your sins
But instead embedded them in
With a heavy heart, and a frozen lung
You've been left with one last choice, so you'll just play dead

Isolate
01:26
|

I've got many reason to create fear
Sometimes things that seem so close are never near
So I sit here as a toast to another successful year
I made some money, fed myself, I stayed here
But motions seem pointless when you spin in place
I daydream of a cabin by a quiet lake
I need to separate myself, you know I'm not a saint
I need to someone explain to her I isolate

False Identity
10:24
|
|||
|
It feels like my mind is broken
A record with a scratch
It just keeps bleeding out thoughts
And they all seem to match
They say "Nothings good enough"
So I revisit the same place again
I wish that I could say some encouraging words
Like "You will find your chance soon", "You'll find your worth"
And while I may be telling the truth
I still wait for my mind to start anew
And I can not bear the same thought again
And I can not find all of myself
And I can not pin point what I desire
And I can not make peace with myself

Platinum

Tell me those lies of how you came through it
Covered in scars but only causing bruises
I see your eyes fill with regret
You beg to protect, the irony unseen
Platinum protects but never makes peace
Tell me your tales of blood-covered battles
Fighting for the peace of your mind
I see your eyes overwhelmed
You beg to protect, the irony unseen
Platinum protects but never makes peace
With shimmering lies

Catching Your Breath
07:00

Can't see around yourself
It's 3 A.M. and dark
Digging into your lungs like the teeth of a shark
The hues fade all around you
Until the grass in black
Brush your hands down to it to bring yourself back
The world is still but only here
You barely catch your breath
Reality fades until your mind is all thats left
Black out again
You mind is way too far to answer the question
Of when and where you are
But catching your breath seems harder than it all
Dig deep you traitor to your own intellect
And tell me your guess of who you are today
So I will know what name that you'll be called
Finding yourself, you know you're oh so far
From seeing the end
I know it can't be far, but I've the same thing a million times before
And lately you know the answer always changes
So why don't you go? Well I have to see the phases
Or else, you see, our identity will show

Vagabond
Wander through wilds
With your nose down in the dirt
No sense of self to be found
I was fond
But the wilds they had changed you
You're not the friend I once knew
You only care for your next meal
Carnivore
Dig a tunnel so inviting
So easy to settle like a home
Before taking every scrap you own
Year twenty-one
I fear that's the last I'll see you
Covered in mud and forest essence
I fear you'll be lost between the vines
