Let me go
If I’m not having fun anymore
Already poised to die alone
I’ll just disappear
Because
Would you even notice if I drift away
Another nameless face
I don’t think anyone was keeping tabs of all my selfish acts
But there’s blanks in all the chambers
And the rope won’t seem to catch
And these pills are just placebos
Do I drown myself in the silence?
Let me go
If I’m not having fun anymore
Already poised to die alone
I’ll just disappear
No one’s listening
No one seems to care
No one will ever miss me
Cuz no one’s even aware
Even if I hate myself
Are they trying to feed my complexes?
I don’t think anyone was even keeping tabs of all my selfish acts
But there’s blanks in all the chambers
And the rope won’t seem to catch
And these pills are just placebos
Do I drown myself in the silence?
But there’s blanks in all the chambers
And the rope won’t seem to catch
And these pills are just placebos
Do I need to bury the hatchet?

Quit claiming it’s temporary
Explain it away this wasted potential
You're confusing love with comfort
But clearly I don’t have the answers
Words, numbers, Black rectangles
and anything to fill the silence
But clearly I don’t have the answers
Quit claiming it’s temporary
Bake gods into rituals and pray to your clay martyrs
But clearly I don’t have the answers
Burn it down, overexposure
And set fire to your closure
But clearly I
Ennui you’re killing me
Am I stuck in that same routine
Ennui you’re smothering me
Am I stuck in that same routine
And I don’t want to live this way forever
Ennui you’re killing me
Am I stuck in the same routine
Ennui you’re smothering me
Am I stuck in that same routine

Go and leave me on my own again
I won’t pretend
Don’t call my name if you’re alone
Cuz I know you’ll let me down
You’ll let me down
Go
I'm better off alone again
I won’t pretend
Don’t call my name if you’re alone
Cuz I know you’ll let me down
You’ll let me down
Red spots on the porcelain fall out of care
Don’t call my name if you’re alone
Cuz I know you’ll let me down
You’ll let me down

The same old song won’t help us fall apart
Even a little more feeling, won't stop us bleeding out
I’ve been trying to get back on the right track
But it’s no use at all
Settle
Not content to settle
Pursue it if you can
Don’t be afraid to dance but don’t form expectations
Dreams are made to wake up from
Don’t fall asleep for too long
I’ve been trying to get back on the right track
But it’s no use at all
Settle
Not content to settle
I’ve been trying to get back on the right track
But it’s no use at all
Pursue it if you can
Don’t be afraid to dance but don’t form expectations
Dreams are there to wake up from
Don’t fall asleep for too long
Settle
Not content to settle

We all assume we’ll make it through
Failing to comprehend we’re already dead
Give me something, I need a reason to stay
Stay for nothing, I’m fading away
Give me something, I need a reason to stay
Stay for nothing
We all assume we’ll make it through
Failing to comprehend we’re already dead
Give me something, I need a reason to stay
Stay for nothing, I’m fading away
Give me something, I need a reason to stay
Stay for nothing
I wrote a list of reasons today
But the rain came and washed it all away
If it’s as simple as they all say
Why’s it adding up to my decay?
Stay for something
I need a reason to stay

This carousel, it makes me crazy
I can’t avoid the dizzy feeling
This nothingness and everything
My ones becoming zeroes
Deprive me of my solitude without affording me company
The total and the tranquil in the oblivion of a graveyard
But please don’t kill me
Send a fox to kill a fox
This point-and-click is poisonous
You’ve got me tripping in the wrong way
You're so conceited, you little demon
But please don’t kill me
I’ve tried again before I’ve had enough
I know I keep running
I keep keep running away
I’ll try it all before I give it up
I know I’m still running
I’m still still running away
When the poets defile roses
Please tell me how is it worth it
I’ve tried again before I’ve had enough
I know I keep running
I keep keep running away
I’ll try it all before I give it up
I know I’m still running
I’m still still running away
But please don’t kill me
When the poets defile roses
I keep running, I keep keep running away

As long as we are overpowered by the darkness of ignorance, we are the slave of Nature and must accept whatever comes as the fruit of our thoughts and deeds. When we stray into the path of unreality, the Sages declare that we destroy ourselves; because those who clings to the perishable body and regards it as their true self must experience death many times.
I’ll burn fast in the end
My body’s only temporary
What exactly is the difference between a dream and waking experience? What happens to the sense of “I” in dreamless sleep? In the constantly changing flow of human experience, is there anything that remains the same? In the constantly changing flow of thought, is there an observer who remains the same? Is there any thread of continuity, some level of reality higher than waking, in which these states of mind cohere?
I’ll burn fast in the end
My body’s only temporary
Destroy the sense of I and death a thousand times
Darkness in absolutes
Spiraling forever

I feel nothing
I know nothing about you
There’s nothing for me here

All these lonely lights dazzle with me into the night
Can I feel my eyes pulsing?
Is the Earth breathing right with me?
Wandering 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 tune that played is quickly fading
Was it just like I was sleeping?
The noises start to blur
Not sure of what I heard
But my mind void of word
A 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
