Still Don't Know

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

Destroying the Evidence

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

What a Way: Prélude
04:22

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

US

WE're all going home
WE'll never be alone
WE forgive abuses
WE're scared of the dark
WE'll never be apart
WE shun all the reclusives
WE are promised there will be live after this
convinced WE proceed to think there's ignorance in bliss
plug up OUR ear's WE'll pretende WE cannot hear
block out OUR eyes, no use in seeing, WE're alright
Don't Try
It's all futile
Don't Try
WE'll be alright
WE all die alone
WE'd rather stay at home
WE're filled with excuses
WE all fall apart
WE'll shoot in the dark
WE know that it's useless
WE'll find an alien
WE'll forget all OUR friends
WE strive for isolation
WE're stymied by OUR time
WE won't lend you OUR mind
WE're getting off to expiration
WE won't submit to OUR thoughts of emptiness
WE can't believe that there is ignorance with bliss
plug up OUR ears, WE'll pretend WE cannot hear
block out OUR eyes, no use in seeing, WE're alright
Don't Try
It's all futile
Don't Try
WE'll be alright
and who will be there for US?
who will watch US as WE fade away?
not ME

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....
