I was made to see a new horizon where my body was free
And if you think for a second I’m lazy, well look at all the ones who stood there behind me, that’s right now
You say you never felt like you did before, you know it’s been a hell of a Long time (hell over high water)
I’ve been putting my head down, I’ve been putting my phone down, and that’s good, cuz’ it’s driving me crazy that these people can’t save me and they should. I would never control you, I could never console you, when you’d like. I’ve been living a nightmare and I’ll never go back there, full of light.
I was bound to be, a message bottled up and cast to the sea. And through the waves of light I found it unlikely, that I would surface to your arms thrown around me. Cuz’ right now. You say you never felt like you did before, you know it’s been a hell of a long time
The day’s breaking, I’m running around again. The light’s fading, I’m falling around.

I wanna know you lately but, I think you know. I’ll try to cut the center out, and take control of everything so - if that’s appealing to you then, let’s start the engine. Slowly gears will spin.
And weighing my options on my way down town, and finding for certain what you’re all about.
I wanna be there daily but - it’s too often. I wanna turn the gears some more while you lay down inside your coffin. Will I cater to you then? Beneath the soil? All the time that this has taken, you rejoice as you awaken. No one left to bound or bore you, suffocate you when they adore you.
When I get that cold feeling, I’m staring at the ceiling, your tales of love and glory I think are f*cking boring. With all the things that I’ve missed I think I need a witness, when the calls stop coming in, I knew I’d been the victim.

Through the window I look out every morning I breathe a second passes I wake to find myself displayed on a shelf for the whole world to see and stare blankly.
With everyone moment that rises to the surface I sink into the wonder, I trip I fall and balance it all. When I can’t see the ground beneath me.
When I wake up, I rise with the sun, and when the day comes it’s already gone again. When did I get so up lifting?
When I wake up, I rise with the sun, and when the day comes yeah it’s already gone again. Branded, open-eyed, left for dead, not alive.
Down the staircase and slowly through the corridor I catch light of sunrise the day it fades, cascades, into a glorious ray. It gets my steps and calms my thinking.
Could this vision project through every fiber, every embedded memory, shine upon - at least until dawn, when I can’t feel the light surround me.
When I finally get the day yeah, when I finally make my way out.

Change on the Throne

Change on the throne, there’s another one stepping up to conquer our homes. And grey fills the room, in a delicate fashion it ascends now to bloom. And we full of light, offer sacrifices, bodily and cursed with delight. So he, or she, could see our efforts are convincing as we wish to be free.
Free, relinquished from pain.
Free from the bastardly bane
Free from the locks on the cage, that forever kept you bound to the floor.
Change to the squire, while the people focus solely on their wealth and attire. And we will relay every sentence that is murmured by our new found charade. With glass full enough to weigh our futures with the fortune to evade any bluff, that burns to deceive, prevented solely by the hearts of those that wish to be free.
Free, relinquished from pain.
Free from the bastardly bane
Free from the locks on the cage, that forever kept you bound to the floor.
They’ve always bound you down, they always bound you…

Fire on Main Street

I built a bridge just to see if I could burn it yeah, I was blessed and believed and calmly burning down. I took a breathe under sea and felt the salt rush in, through a wave of capillaries, caverns, inviting…oh how they hate me.
You stood witness for weeks a hand you give is a fist I get and I collect all of the emptiness stuck inside of me. Now kids burn on the street, igniting fires to break the Barries of light and sound into a new century.
I was breaking away. (From the ground under me)
Into the light of the day. (And you still swell while I sleep )
And it grew into streams (As it poured comfortably)
And I won’t wait patiently (To feel the warmth again)
I don’t ever wanna feel this way.
(Pushing my hair back, making a statement)
I don’t ever wanna feel the same (Unless you think…)
When I arrived to the shore, the waves that drenched me cleansed my eyes and through the tides I could see like I could never before. You still think of the day the fires started to sway, even memories of sorrow in an endless array.
Now you sleep alone, the way you steal sorrow, I know that every conversation is just one more lump to swallow.
If I could only see, if I could only cut the seams of hope, the desolate memories would burn just like the kids did before.
Pushing my hair back, and making a statement, I’ve never been happier, face down on the pavement
Pushing my hair back and nothing’s concerning, the fire on Main Street is constantly burning.

Pain took my money away
Now I’m screwed to the day that you save
Fate in a infinite reign, I’m compelled by the way that the money was made
A way that no one knows me by name, I’m a parallel thought you’re thinking.
Shape, in a brilliant display. Yeah it swing and it sways, while our breath escalates.
Away, away…
And you know, it’s crawling at the wall, the window, it’s tearing at the bar.
You say when the moment comes, take the opportunity, when it prevents itself right in front me.
And if it echos, it’s frozen to the core, if it swallows, it never seems so full.
You move slowly, to lifetimes
The day you came, you’re running away, you run away you’re falling under me
Maybe I could see you and we’d both get high and then we’d be floating on a cloud of our emotions like we used to…

Skylight

I was driving down a road I remember once and in that memory the roads and the trees divide.
The doors open, I started to rise.
Till I was soaring across oceans and forests. While I levitated I was kept close with the love from the sky.
Take it from me it’s better to know where you’re going than end up unfolding the scene. Do you know what I mean?
In dreamy visions stood a landscape of nimbus clouds. Raining down upon the world where my body lays - a capsule where my memories reside.
Inside my mind I search for endless emotions, to find myself within the confounds of space and time.
Take it from me it’s better to know where you’re going than end up unfolding the scene. Do you know what I mean? If life wants to be a constant reminder of knowing it’s better to stay in your dream where you lay next to me.
So if you wanna, you can wake up find a way out and see that you take it back
So if you wanna you can wake up find a way up and see that you take back what you once had.

A Crowded Room

And I don’t know when I’ll get to see you with all those loose-ends and backseat previews. And I want to know too, and not see through you, like the ghost of you, who would deceive you.
You wait alone today, forget about me, you say that someday soon.
Wait alone today, forget about me, you say that someday soon, in an afternoon or a crowded room, you weigh your options all the day, and you wait…
And time might pass by, forward it follows, without progression, begins to hollow. And I want to know too, and not see through you, like the ghost of you, who would deceive you.
You wait alone today, forget about me, you say that “someday soon”. You wait alone today, forget about me, you say “that someday soon, in afternoon, or a crowded room, you weigh your options all the day, and you wait.”
