Mundane, the 9 to 5
You drink a little poison just to testify that you're still alive
And I know the wicked ways
Your senses overloaded as you drift off to another daze
"Why try the other side?"
You're practically emotionless
So why don't you consider a ride now?
Do you want it? Cause it's easy
Before you jump
I think you should know
The skyline is by your waist
You oversee the edge but you've never really had the taste
And your eyes are mystified
Your inner demons struggle just to tell you that they're on your side
You live a simple life
You understand the concept so why don't you consider a ride now?
Do you want it? Cause it's easy
Before you jump
I think you should know
Time can separate
A broken heart from hate
Love infatuates
Before it's all too late

Planning Accordingly

Standing over freeways with city lights
Picking scabs that never seem to mend
Heaven bent the sentiment preventing you
from ever finding happiness again
At last your lonely lover left your lunging loft
You finally have a chance to realize
That maybe you were never really good for me
A salivating serpentine disguised
Open doors
Find what you've been waiting for
Despite my longing to stay
It felt so right at the time
We complicate everything
despite what you had in mind
Never took a real chance before we met
Always lived in neutral colored hues
Never figured out my dear Clementine
always had a plan on what to do
Open doors
Find what you've been waiting for

Dark Garden

Absent as all can be
I'm never around, but I
play cards of empathy
We'll turn this around, but there's
no time for anything
So I'm walking out, it's like
"Why strive for anything"?
So into the cave, I go
Within these days
Let no one save you from this
breakdown
Staggered in waves
Try as you may
it's just a breakdown
So let the sun rain down
and burn us all when it's over

As The Sun Approaches

Feel free to ask your enticing questions
Overboard, you never got the lesson
Brutally honest are my intentions
That's why I'm staging this intervention
You better pray that you're gone
For if I find you by dawn
I'll kill the woebegone
One solemn look in these eyes
will leave you petrified
But at least you tried
Taken for a fool every day
to your dismay
Waiting for the sun everyday
Why won't you stay?

Subtle Animosity

Traveled the foreign land, there was an
inscription in my head, that said
"Know where this system lies, persistence drives the mercy cries"
Head for the fading light, but there was
no bark and only bite, it said
"Not much for you to see, creation has left you with me"
(Bold transcendence
Don't defend this
Seemingly endless
Lost in an abyss)
Still lost within my thoughts, I found the
old song of countless hearts, that cried out
"You know the only way from here has
locked up and disappeared"
(Interject in time
Leave this all behind
Paths that intertwine
Attack of the hive mind)
Why try to change this truth, if all the
Wrong thoughts reach out to you (there's still time)
"You'll never really know
This life outside of my own show"

The Malevolent Detox

A soft collision with the vision of a brighter light
This indecision for incisions from a prior life
You fell in love with a dark-haired silhouette
It's just a ruse that you choose to implement
And you can prevent disasters
from a long-loving bastard
Who never really understands
It's always better, these endeavors when I choose to float
Better than ever is the noose we wrapped around my throat
There's no mistaking in your words
why you fetishize
my misery
I'd rather suffer and move on
Live my fantasies
now that you're gone

Clemency Smiles

Let your dreams say everything
Sense of self and clarity that they can bring
Bringing aid to mend your broken soul
What's the point of anything?
Put your heart in everything
and love will help you grow
Take apart the petty things
before you go
Temporary happiness
plays a part in all of this,
as you and I both know
Don't look back at fading bliss
It's time to go
Small attempts by gentle means
Replicate euphoria through evergreens
Disenchanted by repeated themes
Push to find your better self
Trace your steps and find again, your inner wealth
Only you can let your spirit shine
Bask in this light
There is no need to hide
I thought I caught you playing pretend
There is no sign
to guide you through these nights
May you find happiness in the end
Don't look back for anything
May you never think of me
Disregard the petty things
It's time to go
unfold
a light
untold
