about

Allow for all to breathe air as clean as Eden.
I will drown in the River Styx and keep the planet eternal, along with all the love in it.
Your own beauty is yours and no one else’s.
I will inject the earth with the divine milk of a ghost’s breast and the living will never go thirsty.
I still remain a stranger to everyone.

lyrics

I talk like I'm not fucking sick.
I hide feelings when I struggle with
My mind even when it comes to this.
Next album's dope. Last album's shit.
I said that last year and the year before.
I say it now and I'll heed it more.
Without a weight, I can't reach the floor.
I float aimless in the ether's course.

The long distance is closed off.
I'm lost now in my own box.
I latch on my friend's tinder matches.
In a pack of wolves, I'm a lone fox.
I'm casual when I don't talk,
But all emotions provoke thought
So if I open up, then I won't stop.
You'll be pushed away by my soul's rot.
I wear the stench like it's perfume,
But only when I'm in blurred view.
I deodorize when I serve you,
Only denying the cursed truth.
I wonder what would a bird do
If suddenly it was the worm's food?
Would it fight back when it should lose?
Would it take flight as it's first move
Or would it accept fate and play dead,
Stay still and face death?
With it's beak held high toward the grim reaper,
Wait patiently for the pain's end?
So, where do I fit in?
Everybody watching me has been an eye witness
To me being the bird, the worm is my image.
Since I'm hidden, there never was any time given.
Provided I stay alive long enough to coincide
With the ones I know I'll ride or die with
So never will time slip
My mind while I'm trying to survive.
I will fight to the end of the line.
Laid flat at the ER.
The screen's beeping and my life's spent.
Until then, I'm in flight on the high end
Of consciousness where it shines red.
I'm blinded by the brightness.

Still I recognize all that brings me down.
Chains were pulling me by the wrists 'til now.
I don't want to be here.
Nevermind what I'd think before.
Pull me down. Let me sink some more.
Give me structure. I can't take being this insecure.

Oh - I can see that you're the farthest you've been from
Home - I can hold you down so you won't be lost no more.

My mind's a poker table I count my chips.
I'm discombobulated. It sounds like this.

Oh - I can see that you're the farthest you've been from
Home - I can hold you down so you won't be lost no More.

I talk like I'm not fucking sick.
I hide feelings when I struggle with
My mind even when it comes to this.
Next album's dope. Last album's shit.
I said that last year and the year before.
I say it now and I'll heed it more.
Without a weight, I can't reach the floor.
I float aimless in the ether's course.

Oh - I can see that you're the farthest you've been from
Home - I can hold you down so you won't be lost no more.
