Numbness from complacency Traded hands with darkness to employ irrationality Gnashing at the endless walls Reflective hell Run circles, never see Towerous hurdles, never see Sun is burning, night is cold Refuge reached, mistakes untold Unaware of formality Stretched, turn the wrack wheels Excuses made to relieve the swelling Not a word left to understand Not a word we can comprehend Not a word, not a sound Let it be No, how could this be All that surrounds me seems so fleeting The desert before me, a windblown retreat Once I've forgotten, I'll nurture the seed Swear to placate deception I need room to breathe Wear a mask for the moment, show it off I need room to breathe Got to find a new skin I need room to breathe Once again I've stretched myself too thin I need room to breathe

Faced with a reflection A radiance unyielding before my very eyes Unable to reason, unable to think So I give in In and out of orbit I am led Notions of sirens begin to emerge Is it a lie, who's to decide Do I even care Here I sit abandoned Bewildered footsteps through my mind, unkind Please go about your way Your words are hollow and vapid Your affection is flippant Why do I love you When all is said and done I scrape the ground for closure A luxury you will not grant, for I'm not worthy The risk I take to let you in again and again Built to fail, waste my breath I will adorn your memory with scars of valor A merit badge of battles fought and battles lost I will bathe in desire, I embrace my new fate Share the shame, wallowing We built this foundation on the shores of uncertainty The waves forever testing its integrity The structure lies in disrepair The mortar of the bricks starts to fade into dust Sacrifice must be made, not for you The possibility remains, this song I'll sing again This stain upon my soul, can't be free and also whole

Step into the circle Shed all sense of your preconceptions Relish the gift you're given Pay no mind to the bleating masses Separation from the self Consume the wicked with the spirit of your mouth This paradise exists within Into outer darkness, there shall be weeping Gnashing of teeth, from womb to tomb Damned be the soul that depends on the flesh Damned be the flesh that depends on the soul "Who then knows whence it has arisen Whence this emanation hath arisen Whether god disposed of it or whether he did not Only he in the highest of heaven knows Or perhaps he does not know" The blood of the resurrected The city of gold The water of life Wash yourself of all this, you'll transcend the mystery Your initiation is complete Mind what you have learned Reflect the divine Breathe not a single word Keep it from the swine, they are mindless herds They will surely fade

Gimme what I want I could give a fuck if it's what I need What is that substance you're shoving down your throat Gimme some What is that powder you're jamming up your nose Gimme some Try to tell myself I am better than this I can do without Reassure myself I am bigger than this As I reach up for the clouds The grass is always greener, peering towards the distant mindscape A hollow sense of happiness But who the hell really cares anyway We will all end up in the grave And when we both look back on it all Who can say "I lived" What the fuck do you care anyway I just wanna get through this day I've made my own choices and in the end I fucking stand by them Stand by your deeds, whether to help or deceive Inhale Exhale It is the nature of the human race To find ways to alter our state And I would gladly join the wayward flock To shed the shackles of this life I hate
