lyrics
faces: curtains: caterpillar: static: obsidian: tension: carbon:
feelings so many feelings trying to stop me
breathing so slowly breathing but I am not free
walking the streets with the devil inside me
losing the chase losing faith but I can still see
i meet the darkness and light
that way we can always be together
don’t mind the shadows at night
and don’t cry because i’ll be with you forever
down down down i’m falling
pain devised, i’m crawling
and if you look in my eyes you’ll see a world worth of hate inside
heartsick and i’m trying to find a place in my heart to hide
so so tired no respite
but still inspired not desperate
with my feet on the ground i’ll see it through to the conclusion
try stemming the flow remember this is an illusion
too many faces
too many faces
i meet the darkness and light
that way we can always be together
don’t mind the shadows at night
and don’t cry because i’ll be with you forever
behind the curtains behind the shade
underneath the smiling faces i’ts not safe
this world is not safe like your mama’s
this world is alive
these people will stab you in the heart child
but don’t close your eyes
and all god’s children will be heard
i’ll scream the truth until i make you hear me
looking out it gets so hazy things start to blur
america will drive you crazy but you will endure
chorus
caterpillar smoking
billow the illusion
absinthe
absence of confusion
floating in the bottle blessed sea of tears
choking as I swallow
your world so full of fear my dear
no one makes confession
no one wants the blame
i’m lost within your hatred
and living with your shame
clean up walk straight
clear sight pure hate
there’s no answer there’s no god
there’s no solution no reward
no mercy no hope
no choice no vote
i’m left empty i‘m left alone
no comfort eyes sewn
so numb and so hungry
so cold and so lonely
veins open eyes wide
pain focused pacified
dripping down my face, my mind is overcast
cold, numb, poisoned, hated to the last
lunatic loneliness isolation
drinking sickened inspiration
i remember what once was and who I used to be
all my visions of the past are hazy ecstasy
chorus
descending, descending
down
into this place
i cannot see the purpose
of the agony i face
now there’s simply no one around
it’s like there’s no solid ground
i’m isolated i’m washed out to sea
a sea of troubles taking arms against me
i’m lying in the static
i’m swimming in the void
blinded to your reasons
finally broken beaten battered destroyed
in the static
swimming in the void
finally broken beaten battered
one step removed from reality
suffering the coils of mortality
no matter what we all end up alone
perhaps it’s when your truest self is shown
chorus
demons once beaten resurrected
cold in my empty bed
stagnant lying rejected
dark thoughts pouring out from my head
chorus
it’s like wolves clawing to get at your door
and your face is pushed down against the floor
rain comes down, it’s overcast
it’s hazy, alone with your own past
pleading goddess up above
shield me now, protect me love
the ground is of obsidian below you see your face
a path of nothing stretches forth, there’s no one, not a trace
it’s bleeding me, it’s stealing me
myself to face this cursed place
it’s bleeding me, it’s stealing me
myself defaced, in this godless place
a speck alone the alarm has spoken
you’re by yourself and the world is broken
primal desperate isolation creeps inside you and no more patience
horizons inarticulate, you feel as thought you’ll die
the feelings in the distance pleading sad and angry cries
just like your self, little whip inside, the feelings you hold tight
so run and hide in a cave, little whip and stay in there all night
chorus
it leaves you numb and madness follows
suck the gun your soul is swallowed
your eyes reflect gray as you wander each day
you’ve no mind, no memory and nothing to say
chorus
every morning when i wake
i look in the mirror and i see a fake
i see a young man who i don’t’ know
watch him pretend all day he’s feeling ok
i’d give a million lives to kill the noise inside
i’d walk a million miles to be at peace awhile
i’d give a million lives to kill the noise inside
i’d walk a million miles…
i’m sick:
of feeling hated
of being abused
of being mistrusted
so sick and so confused
tired of working and tired of change
tired of learning and feeling less than sane
tired of seeing and dealing with the planes
tired of feeling and reeling from the pain
chorus
you make me sick from this
you make me sick of this
you make me sick
so sick of hearing about your high school drama
so sick of hearing how your blood runs dry
i’ve seen you clawing at the black madonna
as if she’s deaf unto your loudest cry
the list of voices from your past keeps screaming
and ripping holes within your tender mind
i think you’d know it if you’d just stop dreaming
i think you’d show it if you looked in side
chorus
i’ve seen the edge of the cliff
i’ve seen the end of the line
i’ve seen all the signs the day and the night
crying through time
you reach out your hand
i look in your eyes
and I see myself dying
dying in time
i’ve cried for myself
i’ve cried for my wife
looked into the light flying
flying through time
i see scars on your face
the hurt in your eyes
and so much pain
for such a young life
that river runs wide
so deep and so kind
and it makes me scream inside
without her by my side
it’s a hell of a ride
the fuse coiled tight
and burning darkly burning
on into the night
this air is so tight
the rain is so still
i’m watching in the darkness
and i feel you still
