and i recognize
how i align,
follow the signs,
make up my mind.
took up in flight.
took all my might.
shook by the night.
no will to fight.
and these callouses
remind me that
all that i've said
hangs over my head.
i never wished birth
or to walk this earth.
what is this life worth?
who burned the world first?
and you crossed the line,
took all the time,
drank all the wine,
but i'll still find
that love i seek.
i do beseech
a soul for me,
unconditionally.
but these callouses
remind me that
all that i've said
hangs over my head.
i never wished birth
or to walk this earth.
what is this life worth?
who burned the world first?
and these callouses
remind me that
all that i've said
hangs over my head.
i never wished birth
or to walk this earth.
what is this life worth?
who burned the world first?
burn the world.
burn the world.

i'm a mess, it drives me mad.
under duress, stuck in the past.
my solitude, my only home.
"whats wrong with you?"
i'm sick to my bones.
free my soul.
i've no control.
there's no road
just this hold.
kill the past, we'll burn it down.
let the mass of personas drown.
i'm shedding all the wretched ones
but i still fall to the same drugs.
free my soul.
i've no control.
there's no road.
just this hold.

oh, how they come to me;
all the fragile visions.
only ones that keep me company,
but by my own discretions.
i wasted all my worlds
on souls that wanted galaxies.
i've lost all but my words.
the rest, it has abandoned me.
oh, my life.
it passed me by.
but baby i will be your knife
if you will be my lullaby.
oh, my life.
it passed me by.
but baby i will be your knife
if you will be my lullaby.
oh, how the skin crawls
as if spiders live beneath it.
only to speak in a drawl,
as if to wall off my secrets.
you wanted, you have it.
my gaze is yours to claim.
and yet i always play white rabbit.
its my one sliver of fame.
oh, my life.
it passed me by.
but baby i will be your knife
if you will be my lullaby.
oh, my life.
it passed me by.
but baby i will be your knife
if you will be my lullaby.
and i can't breathe.
no, i can't breathe.
why don't you just leave?
honey, i can't breathe.
but isn't it just a dream?
i swear, this was just a dream.
the closer to me you lean,
the more i think it's just a dream.
and i can't breathe.
no, i can't breathe.
why don't you just leave?
honey, i can't breathe.
well isn't it just a dream?
i swear, this was just a dream.
the closer to me you lean,
the more i think its just a dream.
and i can't breathe.
no, i can't breathe.
why don't you just leave?
honey, i can't breathe.
well isn't it just a dream?
i swear, this is just a dream.
the closer to me you lean,
the more i think its just a dream.

dancing with my demons,
this heartless alley is as good a stage as any.
exorcisms? i've lived through plenty.
shame:
a weapon towards the weak.
expulsion of the meek,
biting your bitter cheek.
lessons never learned
yet "all" the stones unturned.
remorselessly, they drudge their feet
to those pitter patter drums.
ignore the rule of thumb.
so ignorant and dumb,
devouring rotted plums from the ruins of eden.
at heaven's gate, they're pleading
to be shown all they've been dreaming.
but the water giver's been deceiving,
watch his own words mislead him.
in conference with his demons.
patronize me, illusions of pride.
claiming to provide;
rationalizing instability.
instability.
instability.
instability.
instability.

love, fall out of darkness.
take my soul apart.
home is just a harness
aching for new starts.
out here we all want our space to live.
four walls, but they're caving in.
conive, conive.
all i ever wanted,
all i ever sought
was to purge this haunting.
give back what i bought.
when you go broke, you go broke.
its your time now, so don't you choke.
conive, conive.
