Wake before dawn and forget your dream
walk through the dark guided by machine
begin your intake of drugs and screen
celebrate death and the new regime
breathe in the filth of the modern age
you’ve seen the future and place the blame
feel the weight of a thousand days
you have a voice that no one hears
you make a choice and no one cares
you feel the weight of a thousand years
why aren’t you rich and famous?
why are you nameless and faceless?
start the car in the cold
you’re young but getting old
Shut the door and close your eyes
choking down a cigarette
makes you want to die/as you realize
you finally know what it means to lose
outdated mindset of paying dues
in shame of failure you craft your lies
fake adventures and alibis
you made your way through galactic waste
Does no one care that you suffer?
Don't you deserve all you wanted?
you feel the weight of a thousand years
shut the door and close your eyes
choking down your cigarette
makes you want to die
tears and cold sweat mix in your mouth
taken all the best of you
and left you down and out
learn to live
or learn to die
the shadow’s sneaking up on you

I wanted
to tell you
I love to
but i’m going crazy
don’t even know the difference between lies and truth
a cryptic message left
an ephemeral scent
and maybe
it all meant nothing to you
i love you
i want to
i want to
but i’ve gone crazy
everything we say and do seems to be abstruse
the chaos threatens to swallow the world that surrounds us
emptiness
fathomless
human woe
i love
i love
i love
i love you
but i’m going crazy
I love
I love
I love
I love you
but you’re going crazy
I love
I love
I love
I love you
but we’re going crazy

Bad Soul

in one act
you could shame a friend
there’s a thief in your smile
like i told you
i don’t know you
anymore
in one moment
the choices made
brought an end to our fun
once a friend who
now avoids you
you’ve got bad soul
the twists in life
well, you never know,
it’s not fair,
but so it goes
what you’ve taken
you won’t escape it
you’ve got bad soul
you’ve got bad soul
good heart
bad soul

Ex Nihilo
05:16
|

|
as the earth grew cold
found yourself upon a strange plateau
all alone
creeping like a ghost inside of bones
yes it’s hard to know
when exactly is the best time to let go
ex nihilo
the mysteries for which we searched were shown
you’ve got a lot you need to learn
it’s not that easy when you’re on your own
and as the joint burned low
watching the receding afterglow
you feel an undertow
pulling you back into
the unknown
you’ve got a lot
you need to learn
it’s not that easy when you’re on your own
you’re moving fast
but you’re still too slow
it’s not that easy when you’re on your own

don’t placate me
the flattery is kind
but i can see
everything
wrong
i tried to be
the friend you need
but i just seem to
let you down
so hard
don’t wait for me /have faith in me
to be
who i used to be
history
repeats
sporadically (erratically)
tragically
sometimes
oh sometimes
i just let you down
so hard
let you down
so hard

When You Know

Why do you come here
when you know it makes things hard for me
when you know
why do you come?
Why do you hang around
when you know I’ll only let you down
when you know
why do you come?
through the forest and the gloom
the mirror image hard to see
but if it was destiny
testing me
tell me why i still feel nothing about it?
just some useless expectations on me
Same
Old
Story
I’m
So
Sorry
just useless expectations on me
Why do you come here
when you know it makes things hard for me
when you know
why do you come?
Why do you come here
when you know it makes things hard for me
when you know
why do you come?
when i lost you then
i lost my way
whatever that means to you
further on along the line
we’ll see if you come running
when i call you
like you used to do
a cigarette between my lips
well once i quit
but my reasons
weren’t that good
yeah
and when i saw you lying there
that look on your face without a care
i felt like an old
old man
fucked up and lying in dirt
filled with regret
terror and hurt
stuck in the road
why don’t you tell me
when you know
why don’t you tell me
where you’ve gone?
i’m so sorry
