Stagnant

Life cycles are unwound, weighing the frame down
It’s always running to me when I am nowhere to ever be found
Light spilling over years of an uninvented pride
Stay blind and never die, I’ll see you tomorrow at the same time
Thinking everything will change when I close my eyes is so far off the mark, and now I’m left in the dark
In my head there’s a riot, on the surface is silence, who ever feels so
Settle and sink in, into the instant
Take time to stay for an artist to pay his respects to the hollow world
Meddle, you’ll never remember feeling dead, another illusion
Forget your beveled conduit, you would be a better bet
It’s all on the line
Chasing better days as a pattern unravels into reading the same page
If I could waste away, I don’t think a thing would change
A fire starts inside my head, and the deafening sound of collapsing will go unsaid
In my head there’s a riot, on the surface is silence, who ever feels so, who ever feels so
Who ever feels so lifeless
The clock ticks a second closer to empty
Settle and sink in, into the instant
Take time to stay for an artist to pay his respects to the hollow world
Meddle, you’ll never remember feeling dead, another illusion
Forget your beveled conduit, you would be a better bet
It’s all on the line
Chasing better days as a pattern unravels into reading the same page
If I could waste away, I don’t think a thing would change
The first step is the hardest to make
The first breath is the sharpest you’ll take
The next ones you’ll not be afraid, so step up
Life cycles are unwound
Stagnant, motionless, shedding life like a bleeding wound
I’m chasing better days, as another dream dies because we tried to stay the same
If I could waste away, I don’t think a thing would change
When will I end my stagnant ways

Sonder Eyes

Bride the great divide (the confines of being human)
In attempting to revive the wires that bind us
The vast expanse will ever last, drifting into unconsciousness
A steadfast act, to shatter the trance
Our kind will advance, this is your chance
All according to plan
Let go of the cards you hold close to your soul
Reflections of I, wandering in time
I wasn’t ready to die
An unbalanced act or a broken back, a gift from above
The earth itself will sing
We all live or die in a timeline that’s being shared worldwide
Crack the glass and look through the window in me
Waiting in line for my ticket to thrive
Lose my nerve, polish me to a shine
In a warmer world where we could fly, we would see ourselves in the same blue sky
A network of what we once felt, an unmissable collective guilt
Waiting for a sign we never ask why this grand endeavor called life
It’s not so black and white
Falling to the earth from a perch of inanimate thoughts and whispers
I will search far beyond myself for a way to realign
Bridge the great divide
The concept of feeling alive is so hard to define
Until you see through sonder eyes
How do I find a way to see this world through your eyes?
Cause I’ve been so blind to the vital thoughts trapped in your mind
Still waiting for a sign to bring compassion to this empty life
A journey out of sight, chase the light
Traveling we decide to embrace this communal machine that connects our minds
The complexity of life will shine even in the darkest nights
The plight of life, to fight, to die, to realize
Waiting in line for my ticket to thrive
Lose my nerve, polish me to a shine
In a warmer world where we could fly, we would see ourselves in the same blue sky
A warmer world
If a warmer world is what we desire
|Through sonder eyes
We must see ourselves through sonder eyes

Isolate, Regenerate

Disconnect, by design I inherently renovate my mind
Find a new place to be unsaid
Recollect, I’m cutting corners like it’s going out of style
Find a new place to share your dread
Follower, don’t tread this barren place
Be aware, of your surveillance state
Finisher, an appearance innate, be free of the weight, and accept your fate
A functional me, I will find what I seek
Five stages of grief
Refine my eyes, sweating out the hate
How could I have missed the signs
I awake to this mess that I have made
Animate by a native fate
They say that’s just how it goes and I find that I am living more in control than
the voice behind my eyes
Isolate, Regenerate
A winding path of the blueprints of past
Release the poison that has filled the cracks
Time to find a new place to die so when I revive I’ll be purified
Oh, set me ablaze, and watch me decay into the void
Calibrate, frozen recovery state, once I’ve thawed I won’t be the same
A crumbling ego will face its’ demise
Reconnecting my body and mind
I can’t believe that this used to be me, wasn’t adding up to what I could be
Never doing, always thinking, in retrospect I have always been free
I awake to this mess that I have made
Animate by a native fate
They say that’s just how it goes and I find that I am living more in control than
the voice behind my eyes
Isolate, Regenerate

Digital dreams taking the shape of a better life on the other side of the screen
Elevate me, pull my focus from the feed
Blurring the lines between what you think you want and need
it’s not safe for you to breathe in the fantasy
So sever the ties, the matrix cries as I reevaluate the crime
There’s blood on my hands and it must be mine cause there’s no other users in my sight
The world will turn on you
A glitch you can never fix
Can’t calculate the cost of what was lost
Defenses down my whole world is now unsound
Oh, I’m not about to crack the code
If I am alive, I would only try to follow my own light
Otherwise I’m just another broken line
Another lesson taught by those unversed, we always expect the worst
Will you fold to the insecurities of getting old?
Did you really think that there’s no reason to dig for gold?
You don’t have to swallow all you’re told
Paint a better picture of yourself, don’t conceal the monster that you’ve become
Your existence erased
Born of a web, I’m not acquainted with regret
i’m not sure if I’m alive or dead
Answers have gone unsaid
An unfamiliar face without as much as a name
Another defect in the machine
Another lesson taught by those unversed, we always expect the worst
Will you fold to the insecurities of getting old?
Did you really think that there’s no reason to dig for gold?
You don’t have to swallow all you’re told
Cause you’ve been counting off time
and one day you’ll see you could have been living outside
Deconstruct our affinity
Tension bending my mind, am I awake or just online?
Urgency or complacency, a tug of war with reality
My essence is blending in with the bunkered down and the colorless
Your existence erased
If I am alive, I would only try to follow my own light
Otherwise I’m just another broken line
Another lesson taught by those unversed, we always expect the worst
Will you fold to the insecurities of getting old?
Did you really think you could wake up once your soul’s been sold?
You don’t have to swallow all you’re told, cause you’ve been counting off time
Another lesson taught by those unversed, we always expect the worst
Otherwise, I’m just another broken line, I’m not sure if I’m alive or dead
Did you really think that there’s no reason to dig for gold?
I’m not about to crack the code, not sure if we’ll ever grow old
Sever the ties, the matrix cries
There’s blood on my hands, and I guess that’s fine
cause we’ll be alone if we lose this fight

A house built without any doors, knocking on walls, unearth the floor
A foundation found upon a fictitious cosmic lore
A past mind of mine has been here before, or so I’m told
Has our entire narrative been automated at the core?
I am walking on a tightrope suspended above my fear and doubt
Lining my reasons up, with another believer casted out
Sinking beneath the space between the truth and what I read
The things I believe, it’s all been written out for me
A celestial draft that’s lacking elegance, a maze lain at my disdain
An ongoing fight to make the best of it, when will this end?
If you’ve been up there all along, oh, if you’re so strong
Why don’t you come down from your tower and just sing your solemn song
Clarify
Buried beneath our lies is a life worth living, a purpose defined
The whole worlds a stage, and the cast will play their parts without a doubt about their lines
Are we supposed to believe that we are just destined to die?
I don’t think that the answers we so desperately search for are found up in the sky
Can you feel a heartbeat in me? Cause lately I’m not sure I believe in destiny
I wonder what would happen if I walked away from the life you chose for me
Centered beneath the sun, I will wake up, clawing out of your reach
I have abandoned the thought of a God that looks down on us with love,
and a foolproof plan for each of us
I’m not waiting for a sign to exist, when all I wanted was my own chance to resist
A celestial draft that’s lacking elegance, a maze lain at my disdain
An ongoing fight to make the best of it, when will this end?
If you’ve been up there all along, oh, if you’re so strong
Why don’t you come down from your tower and just sing your solemn song
I put my life in your hands and I was met with the fallacy within
I’m not sure why we have to kill ourselves for the sake of a game we won’t win

The Family Discrepancy

You’re living out of phase
A shattered memory
It’s been a violent chase, you’re too far gone to save, so I’ll be on my way
Sure didn’t take long for you to forget my face
So I’ll reflect in disbelief, of the damage you’d leave
You’re a shell of yourself, I must bid you farewell
I’m not so sure there was a lesson to be learned in your vanishing act
The vessel you were no longer fully intact, a lost cause, in fact
I’ve found no reason to drown under the weight of the task of the destruction of your mask
Oh how I want to believe that I could set you free
What a shame, and I have forgotten the meaning of love
In regards to your selfish and vacant soul
But now I am gaining ground
If this is how you wanna spend your waking life
Then who am I to tell you what’s wrong and right?
As a phantom has taken your place I’ve been watching you wither away
I will not participate again in your games
Focusing, break away from a desolate place of tainted memories
A living travesty
Engage in a battle with a walking disease
You come and go as you please, with your whole life just outside of your reach
You have been lost in an infinite dream
I have detached myself from your dependency
Your shadow has vanished from the depths of me
If this is how you wanna spend your waking life
Then who am I to tell you what’s wrong and right?
As a phantom has taken your place I’ve been watching you wither away
I will not participate again in your games
Existing out of phase
If I had followed you through my waking life
You’d have lead me to the dark, a forgotten psyche
