Awake in the morning and Dive right into your routine. Your strengths and your weaknesses have led you to a spreadsheet. There are those who cannot avoid being trapped by the system. You're not in this same boat so what do you want from this? Sing your heart out. Hope you never peak. The Past is Prologue, is your future bleak? Is all of this wasted? Is all of this worth for nothing? In searching for profit (prophets), you've deferred happiness. And now you've got nothing to show but this empty feeling. You're stuck in the mundane. Completing your silence. Scream your heart out. Hope you never peak. The past is prologue, is your future bleak? Completing your silence. Like I've got IT figured out I haven't got the slightest idea I Don't Know Time Won't Slow

You're storing memories to lose them again You'll forget everything when this whole thing ends You can't even predict what tomorrow bring But don't lose track of living in the present In trying to survive I'll just slip off in time In trying to survive I'll try to force the sublime You cannot win the fight, the uphill struggle The choices that you make all amount to nothing It's just a series of vague anxieties Will you resolve them, or will you let them flee? You pick your poison and you dig that ditch again You tell yourself it doesn't really matter You pick your poison and you dig that ditch again You tell yourself you will not let it out So you go out with friends, and have a nice laugh Try to stay grounded in all the things that you have You'll try to keep from thoughts weighing on your mind But don't fret since you'll never learn how to fly You pick your poison and you dig that ditch again You tell yourself it doesn't really matter Don't hold onto expectation Don't get oh so carried away

I'm still waiting for some perfect sign above. I hear a voice in my head, I'll just converse with myself. Who's this telling me I just have to breathe? Get me out of this, there's no stream of consciousness, it's just continuity, often broken up by dreams. Who's this telling me I just have to breathe? I won't acquiesce, a life obsessed with cosmic healing. You can lose yourself and be possessed by what you're feeling. And you're dripping down and flowing into what you once were. Your old lullabies come pouring out, and swimming all around. On the dancing greens, I can feel your energy. The synapses don't connect, and we're losing our intent. You'll still be the same person today. Unless you decide you want to change. But be aware, don't meet yourself there. You don't need to fall to break your fourth wall. The noises start to blur Not sure of what you heard The frame you're set in fades to darkness You're magnified by all your senses Slowly drifting Into the Unknown

All these lonely Lights Dazzle with me into the Night Can I feel my Eyes pulsing? Is the Earth breathing right with Me? Do I want to be adrift? Do I need a second Wind? Is my Camera obscured? My View is sfumato for sure.. Diving into the Hours of morning feeling like a Daydream A Walk through the Coast Break Will I ever be free? Will I ever be me? Do I want to hold on? Is my Body gone? Sunlight give a ring Seeing Eyes in everything Every Word a Metaphor Sounding contrived more and more Can I be free? Can I be me? Can I hold on? Am I gone? I won't acquiesce, a Life obsessed with cosmic Healing. You can lose yourself and be possessed by what you're feeling. And you're dripping down and flowing into what you once were. Your old Lullabies come pouring out, and swimming all around. On the dancing Greens, I can feel your Energy. The Synapses don't connect, and we're losing our Intent. You'll still be the same Person today. Unless you decide you want to change. But be aware, don't meet yourself there. You don't need to fall to break your fourth Wall. I'm running out of Time I won't see the Divine The frame removed is slowly setting The tuned that played is quickly fading Was it just like I was sleeping? The noises start to blur Not sure of what you heard But my Mind Void of Word Body weighed down by Earth succumbed to midday Silence I must sleep on this Sand to delight on Star's Wine as I see Shade you became

Pick your words and say them again You're contentious with pretension Lacking substance to your arguments Dominate the new's flow 'Cause you don't really want us to know Control The Masses The Subtle Fascists Well If we listen, we would agree, But we'll just stay ignorant while saying I don't really wanna know It's black and white Let's make them fight Control The Masses The Subtle Fascists We could converge and take it down Our gap in issues starts to break down Well I know If we listen, we would agree, But we'll just stay ignorant while saying I don't really wanna know

Foolish kid, your silence speaks volumes of innocence (It doesn't have to be so bad, whining won't get you there half as fast) Foolish kid, your imagination does not exist (It doesn't have to be so bad, whining won't get you there half as fast) Open wide, let these demons inside You couldn't scare them away if you tried Override, put your trust in white lies Let them go pull the wool over your own eyes Foolish kid, only the weak become apologists (It doesn't have to be so bad, whining won't get you there half as fast) Foolish kid, only the young think that they can resist (It doesn't have to be so bad, crying won't get you there half as fast) Open wide, let these demons inside You couldn't scare them away if you tried Override, put your trust in white lies Let them go pull the wool over your eyes It's not that this world is unfair You just need to learn not to care You won't survive unless you realize life is just a compromise Dream on (You're having nightmares) Float on (Your thoughts are heavy) Dance on (Your feet are cramping) Move on (You need some rest) (Dream on) You're having nightmares (Float on) Your thoughts are heavy (Dance on) Your feet are cramping (Move on) And fool yourself

Filled up with answers, I'm not in the game of questioning Create my routine, I don't even want to part from it I've got my goals set, I know what I need to accomplish I'll lock myself up, spend a whole year gaining momentum I don't want to feel anything other than what I want to feel I don't want to be anything other than what I want to be Another year over, is there anything that you regret? Pushed away family, they were only breathing down your neck. Severed your friendships, they were gonna stunt your intellect. You're all on your own now, have you figured out what to expect? I'm just trying to experience my world, Can I go on living if I'm out here on my own? We're just trying to make some real connections, But most end up dying before every connecting. I don't want to feel anything other than love... I will never be anything other than blood....
