1.
Syphon the love Devote the trust Nothing will change You'll stay the same Every waking instant violated Influence restated in someone else's voice If everything we are is curves and lines ecliptic, fabula electric Why seal it all away inside a pine box? Why don't we get a choice? Bring me home I want to feel that way again Bring him home I want to see him once again
2.
I don't believe in most things I cannot feel the pull Of any higher power Or anyone below I cannot sleep inside of A silence undeterred Every morning interrupted A new life deferred A new life... I cannot sleep inside of A silence undeterred Every morning's implication is A new life reversed And today I'm already a memory of myself Home is something undone I amount to no one I amount to no one else Who will close the book for me? Who will mark my place? I'm pulling pages I'm laying no more ink Waking drunk And nightmares are not peace Nothing here is normal Around your empty space
3.
Insulated by the masses In my cozy empty hall Free from all of these distractions I don't feel a loss Addicted to the silence In my time spent alone The hunger pangs consume me This consummate life Here I am again Lamenting who I could have been All those I ignored Loved ones, family, friends And here I am again All this pressure in my head Vacuum of my history And the life I could have had Things are simpler here In my cozened empty heart Half of me out of the doorway Half of me inside A smile for the heartache Of those close enough to see Everything I'm hiding from Not least of all me I cannot take the pity I will grin at every joke Nothing if not nothing Alone I am OK, I swear to noone I'm feeling right at home Nothing if not nothing Alone I'd like to be alone I will always be alone I will never be alone
4.
Overestimate Everything they teach Everything they touch Will bleed You're counted in grade points, statistics It's time for you to be realistic They're waiting, you're pacing the hallway There's someone already deciding you Had options in money, a future The would has outgrown all its sutures The sharks are gathering to claim their prize There's someone already dividing you They tell me I must earn my birthright That my pen is getting dull Tomorrow is a fire grown Outside of my control I am more I've reached the summit No stairway beyond the clouds Dive into the silence Where hope is not aloud Every day a little harder To identify my place Slog through each injustice To bed and empty slate Have options and pathways, a future I'll earn my way out into closure This freedom is fine if that's all there is There's nobody out there deciding me I'm more than just gradepoints, statistics This dream has always been realistic Keep waiting and pacing the hallways And keep praying there's no one deciding you
5.
A heart I swore was made of stone Cracking under pressure Watch the one that I love most Wither to a stranger Break me down to my bases Draw lines in strange places Use one of your precious final breaths To say that you're proud of me Do my best to keep that so When you're high above me Break me down to my bases Draw lines in strange places There's a sunrise Past this nightmare Just around the bend, its there (A future yesterday, a distance right there) [Aim at the sun Not at the past Don't break but bend, be there] I know a tiny part of me Believes I'll reach beyond this Hold your hand and watch you breath Are you even conscious? I'm through Please God just erase this Draw lines in strange... Spend the rest of my good years Wishing you goodbye Onward into that good night May you see its light Break me down to my bases Draw lines in strange places
