Now You're Free

You were beginning to recognize everyone around
You're not the only reason all that's wrong inside
I don't think it's easy for you barely holding tight
So I lost a friend today to a fleeting thought
When a wave of emptiness fell through you
Now I don't wanna feel anything
I don't wanna feel anything
I don’t wanna feel anything
I don't wanna be anything
I don't wanna be anything
To the lifetime in between
I don't wanna feel anything
I don't wanna feel anything
Hey come on this meaningless life that you lead so long
It's a beautiful time to remind yourself oh
That nothing is against you
Nothing is against you
Brother you're surrounded
I wonder where the magic went in experience
Now you never know
You played a role for far too long
As if you were free
(Now you are free)

Lesson in Progress

Can’t you see we’re running out of feelings
Patiently wide eyed as we’re dreaming
Crimson lakes my body aches my god I need my space
Peoples lies apologize for all your mistakes
Forget it now just do what you can
Poor advice caught my attention
Oh it was the millions ways
Covered in the million things that you said
Made me wanna fall out
Made me wanna get out
Stood by the sea wind swept with precision
Spell over me time ticked to position
Out of line I hardly knew where I was forgot my faith
Built a shrine anti-divine for myself lost my place
Forget it now just do what you can
Poor advice caught my attention
Oh it was the millions ways
Covered in the million things that you said
Made me wanna fall out
Made me wanna get out

Well you're the first thing I think about when I awake
Your fuzzy light and radio waves
I trust in you to keep me sane
You form this life in which I walk your warm embrace
It's the glow upon your face
Your imprint can't be erased
And who would question you
(No life)
And who would question you
Do you have something to lose
As the TV screams I don't know what I want
Will you tell me please don't let my thoughts be my own
I get the feeling I don't wanna think for myself
Will I ever have to be alone
Is this real I can't tell I can't tell
All the talk it really takes a toll on me
I want to stay so incomplete
You have to show me how to see
I’m only rich in what I know in my mind
I'm captivated filled with thoughts
And images that you make for me
And who could question you
(No life)
And who could question you
Do you have something to lose
As the TV screams I don't know what I want
Will you tell me please don't let my thoughts be my own
I get the feeling I don't wanna think for myself
Will I ever have to be alone Is this real I can't tell

First to Agree
03:27
|

|
We gain control
Body and soul
Everything’s starting
Instantaneous
Dying in dust
Stuck in the throes
I can’t recall
The mystery’s parting
So fast
Here and now
As it dawns on me
In this life that I chose
Stare into this
Endless abyss
Believe you’re all right
It’s not you
The face you once knew
Consumed at first sight
And in the next phase
(Cutting me down)
Blame memories for problems
(The nature I found)
At once I will be
First to agree
To wipe the slate clean
Will hasten again
My life to the end
See what it becomes
Cutting me down
The nature I found
Regret what I’ve done

Born Into a Trap
04:18
|

Oh look stand still
A mighty hand will pull it through
A light that kills the eyes
All warmth and lies will follow suit
Sharp whispered voice distorting truth
The lives before not telling you
You’re born into a trap
You had the time to kill
But you killed your safe way costly
Dreaming about all the things you would be
Oh so surely
You’re on a forceless road
Stuck in it part way so
Choosing to find what’s in it for you
You bleed so pure
A weighted thought that brings us down through attitudes
The devil's plight begins
Hands grip so tight never to release
No easy way born to disease
Hope stripped away like broken leaves
You fall into a trap
See me gladly stand so sour posed and indiscreet
What a foolish wish I had
I'll start a fire shame them
Rise above the filth that is so heartfelt
You had the time to kill
But you killed your safe way costly
Dreaming about all the things you would be
Oh so surely
You’re on a forceless road
Stuck in it part way so
Choosing to find what’s in it for you
You bleed so pure
Stay high sooner you’ll find that you're down low
Don’t fight pain it will sharpen in time you know
(I think I'm making up this story)
(Could my mind break when I get old)

Oh I won't stay afloat
This is how I knew it'd be
Ever falling through
Drawn under pseudo sky
And everything inside you screams
It’s a fantasy
In goodness where will the story go how can we be
Vapors inside these things
Who gave me life to take it back this slow
I will pay the price can hardly stand to know but
It’s the boldfaced truth
There laid on desert sands
Witnesses take hands this time
Does it favor you
The day we fuse like chemicals on beaten stones
Our abysmal fears unfold
Could make this life another sacrifice
But they snuff out the light and you squander all desire
Maybe forever I will nearly recognize
I am passing through with so little I require
Will you watch us coast to coast
To see who endures it all
Can you fill in the holes
Now that separate us
And I feel just like a ghost
What we’re missing now
Real life real love

Waiting For No One
04:21
|
|||
|
Is it all going to be as you always believed
Only here for today with eyes built to deceive
In a wellspring of hurt where you’re coming undone
Your time has run out but you haven’t begun
Are you writing it down
Is it something profound at all
You’re done waiting for something to come
Waiting for no one to come
Saving for nothing
Is it all you can feel is it all that you see
You were formed in a plume out of endless debris
Out of chaos and curses ever tied to a string
Just beyond reach til you wake from the dream
Are you writing it down
Is it something profound at all
You’re done waiting for something to come
Waiting for no one to come
Saving for nothing

Travel Out
04:05
|

|
Can survive and so it goes
Suddenly the need arose
Inner thought and words are fraught
With worry for tomorrow
We'll see it’s back against the wall
Waiting for some great plan to save us all
The day is done carefully I step in
And time has come
My farewell to send
How deep is it ill travel out
How deep is it ill travel out
Tell you how it is you follow
The rest just disappears its clear
That you’ll get over everything you believe in
So you can feel alright
You can feel so
As if I'd know
Slave to the distance as it grows
Caught undertow
I fail to speak it’s my design
With vapid words I'm hollow
Connect the dots the future holds
No misery to follow
Your sense of dread and endless stares
Into a lifeless game
It’s getting late and no one cares
Awaken all the same
Tell you how it is you follow
The rest just disappears its clear
That you’ll get over everything you believe in
So you can feel alright you can feel so
I was half asleep where you told me
Was in me something strange no pain
It came as no surprise to me I am now
Will try it once again so I can feel so
As if I'd know
Slave to the distance as it grows
Caught undertow

Quiet Place
03:33
|

|
Lets find a quiet place
Live our lives
Let's leave without a trace
Cut new ties
In exchange for other lands
Abscond hours
Shed all our yesterdays
No goodbyes
Tender is the day when you're slumbering
Living behind your eyes
Cunning are the feelings you're weathering
Pushing them down so
You cant recall the place where we felt such a sting
I heard a distant wind
An echoing of moonlight hanging down in reveries
Lets go out with a bang
For the pastime
And release all the pain
Of a lifetime
Until our spirits pass
We move on
Contentment within grasp
Each new dawn
Tender is the day when you're slumbering
Living behind your eyes
Cunning are the feelings you're weathering
Pushing them down so
You cant recall the place where we felt such a sting
I heard a distant wind
An echoing of moonlight hanging down in reveries
I don't wanna see you now
I heard a distant wind
An echoing of moonlight hanging down in reveries

Ghost Story
03:57
|

|
Making sense the sounds
A fear from above
And signs that lead the way
All dimming thoughts your eyes get lost
In a blank abyss
Like many times before
See trails through vast orbiting doors
No light past time there's a king there
The stars are reserved right now for infinite
Absent concern and swallowed whole
You won't know
Set your mind at ease
Let the ghost be the ghost in the past unprepared
As the fruit they bare no one left to care
Look what dwells in there
Came up to find what lies beyond
There a voice calls out yet many things to see
Spiraled down where we all belong
Despite my will your destiny
So just set your mind at ease
Let the ghost be the ghost in the past unprepared
As the fruit they bare no one left to care
Look what dwells in there
Let the ghost be the ghost in the past unprepared
As the fruit they bare no one left to care
Look what dwells in there
