Burn

Insecurities
stemming from superficial anxieties,
social norms, and expectations
almost always are the hands
to choose your next infatuation.
Many people convince themselves they feel a deep natural attraction
For the one who gets acceptable reactions
from their peers
Or others they hold dear.
Pretentious satisfaction.
In every town
this world around
lights will go down
and fevers go up
fingers get crossed
and hopes untied
rising so high
to fly free.
Nearly touching the sun
before they come
falling like birds fishing in the sea.
Oh if catching true love
were so easy,
wouldn't we be blossoms on a spring tree, but
We're not meant to be as beautiful as that.
We're meant to be a little more ugly.
We're meant to hunt and trick and trap.
and throw it back when it no longer fills our needs.
We're meant to burn.
At every turn we learn how to burn.
At every turn we yearn
for a cooler life than we've earned
And pray for
Somebody matching our endless heat.
Show us the magic to end the madness.
If we weren't such cowards chasing common feats
wouldn't we be suns setting on the sea, but
We're not meant to be as beautiful as that.
We're meant to be a little more ugly.
We're meant to use, consume, attack
and throw it back.
ooooh
ooooh
ooooh
ooooh

Epic Canyons

If they come back again
we'll have something for them
We're closer now to the end
We're losing our fear to die and our options to win
We'll be taking every chance
We'll be taking heads
If they so choose because it's us or them
If they come back again we will defend.
If they come back again we'll have something for them
We're closer now to the end
Gloom of death so imminent amplified by each whim
Moving through these epic canyons gorgeous and grim
We took in all the darkness of each bend
If they come back again they'll understand
Came for when I
had my
guard so down you didn't need to try
to conquer me with big lies.
Still you tried it.
Don't know why you really thought I was the one.
Still I'll own my part in this
I was dumb as shit
I was wearing clothes that did not fit
Still you took up my time
And poisoned my favorite wine
When you could have just been kind
Now you're on the bad list in my mind.
If they come back again
we'll have something for them
We're closer now to the end
We're losing our fear to die and our options to win
We'll be taking every chance
We'll be taking heads
If they so choose because it's us or them
If they come back again we will defend.
Wind and wind and wind and wind
My
Mind
My
MInd, Mind
If they come back again we'll have something for them
We're closer now to the end
Gloom of death so imminent amplified by each whim
Moving through these epic canyons gorgeous and grim
We took in all the darkness of each bend
If they come back again they'll understand
If you don't mind
It would be fine
If I'd never see you again
See you again

A Moment In Space
03:55

|
There was a moment in space
when two universes collided
there was a shift on the plane
and then we had our thing
then two universes divided
and drifted opposite ways
Now I just stare
into the void that once kept you there
and wonder why
I even had to learn at all
cause it was so unfair to call
me away from my own thing
and lead me to this love that only left me cold and left me lonely let me know what I was missing who I never should be kissing in this world
there was a moment in space
when two universes collided
there was a shift on the plane
and then we had our thing
then two universes divided
and drifted opposite ways
Once so close now so far
never never never
to return again the distance now only expands and
multiplies exponentially
a freak time that was not meant to me
a moment passed that was not meant to last
and gone too fast
a breath and then a gasp and then nothing
but the memory
but the memory
but the memory
ooh
Now I just stare
into the void that once kept you there
and wonder why
I even had to learn at all
cause it was never fair to call
me away from my own thing
there was a moment in space
when two universes collided
there was a shift on the plane
and then we had our thing
then two universes divided
and drifted opposite ways

Oceans

It was cool in the dead night air
There were oceans of sounds breaking quietly round your hair.
Down the school, down the hill, down the stairs
Pondering the intentions of the souls that were standing there...
Thought "cause its yours now if you want it.
I got no muscles to fight with I
got no spirit alive to keep trying."
But I do and I don't know why.
Something moves me and I just crush and cry
I
just fall into a pit of "why"
till something moves me along but why?
something moves me along but why?
something moves me along but why?
something moves me along but why
through the death and disease it keeps me clean on the breeze.
If I could just fall on the sea
harnass marine energy
emotions might seem less deep...
fluorescent all underneath
tentacles glowing I'd breathe
the ocean around me
Thought "cause its yours now if you want it
I got no muscles to fight with I
got no spirit alive to keep trying."
But I do and I don't know why.
Something moves me and I just crush and cry
I
just fall into a pit of "why"
till something moves me along
through the death and disease it keeps me clean on the breeze.
