When they first come for me will I be in my room will I be on the streets or on the phone with you? When I'm first put away will all my right's be waived with whom will they let me speak and how long will I stay? (will I stay...) We never know what we're guilty of but we wake up tired and can't feel love... At the edge of the world where the drifts reverse if we keep sleepwalking to the flat earth cursed Save me from this place of no return free me from the lows of all I've learned lead me through these dreams and sowing verse I'll dispose the demons waking first When they first come for you will you concede your views will you submit surrendering all that you hold true? But I could never blame a single soul who caves (strays) the Tyranny of fear is seldom disobeyed We never know what we're guilty of but we wake up tired and can't feel love... At the edge of the world where the drifts reverse if we keep sleepwalking to the flat earth cursed Save me from this place of no return free me from the lows of all I've learned lead me through these dreams and sowing verse I'll dispose the demons waking first Where the drifts reverse, we remain sleeping walking, to a flat earth cursed

You can print guns now out of plastic so how can we speak of rules? They keep on building drones with taxes austerities serving who? In every thought this way all hope is seized, I'm locking paralyzed and dumb in petty grief ................................................... .............. But we could go on, on and on, on and on, forever erase sovereign lines and broken games Or we could keep on the line of pawns that march from Nebuchadnezzar to burst in a blaze of flashing flames ................................................... .............. Tried to curse life for all it's pleasures atonements no substitute Dissonance wrung from ego's bladder an elaborate bored excuse As every desperate parrot thought concedes I'm left exposed to bear responsibility ................................................... .............. So we could go on, on and on, on and on, forever erase sovereign lines and nation states Or we could keep on the line of pawns that march from Nebuchadnezzar to burst in a blaze of flashing flames ................................................... ..............

Easily Blind 03:21
-Fail-Fight-Fall-> Forever floating far Fortuitously flung -Save-Sigh-Solve-> Surrender Slowly signs subdue Subliminal ....... And I want you here to cover me when I'm likely to implode and cradle me in fairy fabled folds But I've seen the curse of bubbles and complacency in droves the satiated spinning status quo ...... So I feel when the rain is falling Fear As I'm turning in cold To the tears of the faceless, bawling Easily blind, gloating and full ..... -Breathe-Bright-Blow-> Beseeched, bereavers blind Beelzebub's Below -Tear-Try-Tro-> Time's tyranny to trial Traversed til Terminal .....

It's gotten to the point where I can barely think anymore Without a flood of thoughts bursting through uninvited Its not so much I mind if I lose every internal debate It's just that I can't stand all this abuse from the mind's domain And every piece of script that I could read Or simply stumble to Becomes the seed of some new found belief Is this the fate of every desperate man in frantic search of truth: to never stand, instead he'll fall for anything? And All the time I wear the blinds of busyness to dream And live my life addicted to the absence of relief It's gotten to the point where I can barely sleep anymore Without a crowd of thoughts taking turns at inciting An endless bout of rows that induce the most restless of dreams I guess it's cause they scream never use inside voices And every piece of script that I could read Or simply stumble to Becomes the seed of some new found belief Is this the fate of every desperate man in frantic search of truth: to never stand, instead he'll fall for anything? And All the time I wear the blinds of busyness to dream And live my life addicted to the absence of relief Sinking further towards a simple truth while surrendering beliefs for the safety of a feeling unconcieved. Is relinquishing conflicting views just a manner of defeat in the face of thoughts that harbor logic's greed? And "Oh My God" is for you a hollow phrase to never speak So lead your life and strangle every mystery in grief (with a pride t hat strangles mystery for grief)
