i've been lost in the fray and too much life has passed without a name
for anything in the world like love or light but still I know what it means
more than you could scribble, splatter, slather all askew
yeah it's true, don't need none of that mess boo
slow, sightless, seldom to retain, cluttering the knowledge in your frame
cycling eyes become a strain, don't seem necessary to me
everything's a game, it's such a shame to me
yeah it's great! i sleep all day and wakeup just to say 'what it do?'
have you decided what you're going through?'
don't mean to be rude, but it seems like you've always lacked a clue
maybe a take a cue, whatever that means to you
slow, sightless, seldom to retain, cluttering the knowledge in your frame
cycling eyes become a strain, don't seem necessary to me
everything's a game, it's such a shame to me

well I don't know what there's left to say
but I feel compelled anyway
to write this for you
what do I need it to do?
have strength that I couldn't find
clear the baggage left behind
admit I was wrong
confide in this song
i can't help but think
most of this was wasted time
but you don't seem to feel the same
cuz in your mind we're still friends
and I just can't pretend
that everything is okay
it's not like I'm free of fault
it's a two way street, after all
i just don't feel
that you were honest with me
when I needed you to be
you left me behind
multiple times
of course, I didn't say I what I meant
and now the moment is gone
so I'm stuck to writing songs
i was obsessed with you in the worst way
it seems like you wanted that, too
i don't need you

full aggro, red in the face
like an animal pacing its cage
too feral, in rabid deceit
the horror, a sudden retreat
may they follow suit and pretend
to shun me and leave me to mend
i'm so sorry for scaring the souls
denying the peace that they hold

listless, awake again
static hangs like smoky air
dry grounds stuck to cans
like old stains on teeth
halls lined with other freaks
careful not to share a gaze
dim orange light carries the road away
desolation is all that's present here
the flame is in my hand
i'll enjoy this - it's all I have
listless, yeah, I'm still awake
still flies and humming mind
far gone but under light
infomercials on how to sleep
keep me from reaching peace
careful not to gaze away
careful to stay awake
dim orange light carries the road away
desolation is all that's present here
the flame is in my hand
i'll enjoy this - it's all I have
in an instant this could all be gone
doesn't sound bad to me...

fatigue creeps in, but the bluelight will keep me awake
at least for a little while... enough time to get nothing done
nights like these tend to feel like they're going to evolve into something more
because there must be a purpose for this, there must be
seems there rarely is... and yet
the search constantly persists, always yearning for more knowledge to condense and apply to life
or revelations to get your glimpse of the truth
intoxicated, but so devoted to the notion of the greater meaning being revealed
orbiting around the nature of reality, the key of existence collides with me
just for this moment. it's a bond only we can share
the closer I look, it feels like nothing's there
now selling apathy
kill yourself because you're so happy
eat this pill don't work brain too hard
turn on the tv
believe everything
well goddamn, give me a different reason to breathe
other than this crumbling fallacy
or the concepts and constructs we cling to desperately
conceding to limited control
as the world unravels
grave errors of our way of life all exposed
do we care? doesn't matter anymore
well goddamn, give me a different reason to breathe
other than this crumbling fallacy
or the constructs and concepts we cling to desperately
let it go
letting go
the blame is not ours to bear
for this dystopia that was cultivated
sold as a dream of everything that we need
they're lying
they're lying
because they always will, the cycle never changes
