Our choices aligned, I found them alone No help from a name, I decided unknown Your focus on me, my focus on home That’s you Until you mention his name, undivided control It’s over and seething, growing, and feeding on me I’m coming up and not breathing It’s over and seething, growing, and feeding on me I’m coming up and not breathing It’s over and seething, growing, feeding I’m coming up and not breathing It’s over and seething I’m coming up and not Breathing When somebody told ya, that I’m getting older cuz I’m not breathing, When somebody told ya I’ll cut holes Breathing When somebody told ya, that I’m getting older cuz I’m not breathing, When somebody told ya I’ll cut holes I’ve waiting for days, for you to have known Respect and amazement devalued While you chase down broken bridges It’s over and seething, growing, and feeding on me I’m coming up and not breathing It’s over and seething, growing, and feeding on me I’m coming up and not Breathing When somebody told ya, that I’m getting older cuz I’m not breathing, When somebody told ya I’ll cut holes Breathing When somebody told ya, that I’m getting older cuz I’m not breathing, When somebody told ya I’ll cut holes It’s over and seething, growing, and feeding on me I’m coming up and not breathing It’s over and seething, growing, and feeding on me I’m coming up and not breathing It’s over and seething, growing, feeding I’m coming up and not breathing It’s over and seething I’m coming up and not I’m coming up and not breathing (it’s feeding on me) I’m coming up and not breathing (it’s feeding on me) I’m coming up and not breathing (it’s feeding on me) I’m coming up and not breathing (it’s feeding on me) I’m coming up and not breathing (it’s feeding on me) I’m coming up and not breathing (it’s feeding on me)

Rewind 04:23
A conscience clean, they’ll never know, but it’s complicated tracing back to home A distant past made up on no responses left in places I thought, were dreaded ways to grow Look at me I’m all I hated Stripped by greed, domesticated Look at me, bound and J:dead Drain and feed, I’m corporate graded Rewind it’s so high, rewind Rewind my whole life, rewind Rewind it’s so high, rewind Rewind my whole life, rewind Smoking green, a bottle down, passion filled my life with waking to find a prison mound Distilled release, a trip back round, never taking what I valued to ground. Look at me I’m all I hated Stripped by greed, domesticated Look at me, bound and J:dead Drain and feed, I’m corporate graded Rewind it’s so high, rewind Rewind my whole life, rewind Rewind it’s so high, rewind Rewind my whole life, rewind Rewind it’s so high Rewind my whole life (look at me) Rewind it’s so high (stripped by greed) Rewind my whole life, rewind

Safe ground 04:14
I’m taking, of clones and flies We’re full of lies Undoubted little lies A hairline, cracks under, the thin line, related pressure, of this foundations weakened bones Brittle mind, I’ve taken substance, a feeling from, a faint imbalance, a prism breaking under eyes I root in deep to safe ground And hide and the thought of being found I’d rather turn and run away Face down And hide at the unfamiliar sound I’d rather turn and run away Always wrong, I cannot fall, I’ll be unchallenged at the gates of all that’s waiting just beyond my reach Faded mind, we seek a balance, on traded palms, with hidden malice, this games sophisticated time I root in deep to safe ground And hide and the thought of being found I’d rather turn and run away Face down And hide at the unfamiliar sound I’d rather turn and run away I cannot breathe, I cannot breathe, I cannot breathe, I root in deep to safe ground And hide and the thought of being found I’d rather turn and run away Face down And hide at the unfamiliar sound I’d rather turn and run I root in deep to safe ground And hide and the thought of being found I’d rather turn and run away Face down And hide at the unfamiliar sound I’d rather turn and run away

Another label to crave Another cradle to grave Another label to crave Another cradle to grave Some place down, it’s some place round me Will you haunt me, or love being down It’s some place down, it’s some place round me Will you haunt me, or love being down Another fable to name Another stigma to gain Another fable to name Another stigma to gain Some place down, it’s some place round me Will you haunt me, or love being down It’s some place down, it’s some place round me Will you haunt me, or love being down Why would I lie, would I cry, will you fight, look at me Why would I die, would I cry, will you fight, look at me Why would I lie, would I cry, will you fight, look at me Why would I die, would I cry, will you fight, look at me You fade out, your spun round, and shown how, to walk in clouds You look now, for broken towns, and where to drown, your pushed down Some place down, it’s some place round me Will you haunt me, or love being down It’s some place down, it’s some place round me Will you haunt me, or love being down You fade out, your spun round, and shown how, to walk in clouds You look now, for broken towns, and where to drown, your pushed down

A shell of a dream, threatens on I shake as my fingertips perspire, this is something I need, then it’s gone So, I don’ lie awake Fade in and fade out So, I don’ lie awake Fade in and fade out I lie here awake, folded arms Startled by noises it’s my heart, Frozen in this state, then it’s gone I know now, that somehow I’m controlled, by being unknown And well, it’s hard for you to tell How I’ve grown, what I think, when I go when I’m alone So, I don’ lie awake Fade in and fade out So, I don’ lie awake Fade in and fade out So, I don’ lie awake Fade in and fade out So, I don’ lie awake Fade in and fade out I’ll never take, you’ll never know, reflection is our everything You’ll never break, you and me I’ll never take, you’ll never know, perception is our everything You’ll never break, you and me I’ll never take, you’ll never know, destruction is our everything You’ll never break, you and me So, I don’t lie awake Fade in and fade out So, I don’t lie awake Fade in and fade out I’ll never take, you’ll never know, destruction is our everything You’ll never break, you and me So, I don’t lie awake Fade in and fade out (x8)

Without it you’ll never find me or a conflict to bound and tie And I’ll wait for him to tell me I’ve drained this blood red sea A race to kill a foreign drone It sits and waits within my home Destructive visions that will haunt me as I pray it will make me see But I’ll wait for you god to send me home After a complicated genocide And if, you’ll think I’ll break and cower your fucking wrong This bitter taste is better than suicide And if You can’t kill something; you can’t kill it for me You can’t kill something; you can’t kill if it can’t breathe You can’t kill something; you can’t kill it for me You can’t kill something; you can’t kill if it can’t breathe Dissipating clouds of envy and honest indemnities My hope and vision of this time piece, is drowned in uncertainty But I’ll wait for you god to send me home After a complicated genocide And if, you’ll think I’ll break and cower your fucking wrong This bitter taste is better than suicide For you I’d stop this red sea, and come down and stay a while With your hand I think I might be, J:dead and reconcile You never came, I fought alone, and stayed and watched in the skies Its just a complicated genocide You never came, I fought alone, and begged myself to arise Its just this pain is something never to be mine You can’t kill something; you can’t kill it for me You can’t kill something; you can’t kill if it can’t breathe You can’t kill something; you can’t kill it for me You can’t kill something; you can’t kill if it can’t breathe You can’t kill something; you can’t kill it for me You can’t kill something; you can’t kill if it can’t breathe You can’t kill something; you can’t kill it for me You can’t kill something; you can’t kill if it can’t breathe

Navigate the trail that never waits A conduit to my internal blockade Sixteen digits grabbing for the next gain The pressures of my dissolving fear, that I can’t take Are reasons of why I just can even explain The pairing of life is just a game I can no longer take For reasons of why I just can’t even explain Cultivate for grandeur served in stone A signal of short handshakes for my own Eleven years have past and now I’ve shown The pressures of my dissolving fear, that I can’t take Are reasons of why I just can even explain The pairing of life is just a game I can no longer take For reasons of why I just can’t even explain A thousand adventures are coming your way, I cannot protect them, by living through your pain Or rejection, or compassion and admiration A thousand adventures A thousand adventures The pressures of my dissolving fear, that I can’t take Are reasons of why I just can even explain The pairing of life is just a game I can no longer take For reasons of why I just can’t even explain Time will slow They’ll still grow Time will slow And they’ll still grow

Distinguished pain on frontal lobes, it reminds me Of wilted chains on heavy shoulders, it describes me I cannot move nor judge this fate, it consumes me A faded hand touches my mind, it excites me Bound and low, I’ll seek and follow Round and through, I’ll seek and follow I don’t want to know, you don’t want to try, I wish I could see out of my mind I don’t want to know, you don’t want to try, I wish I could see out of my mind Altered bones modified state, it surrounds me A blackened cloud on slanted shoulders, it prescribes me A sudden dose of realisation, it denotes me Swollen eyes roll back she said they understand me I don’t want to know, you don’t want to try, I wish I could see out of my mind I don’t want to know, you don’t want to try, I wish I could see out of my mind I don’t want to know, you don’t want to try, I wish I could see out of my mind I don’t want to know, you don’t want to try, I wish I could see out of my mind Bound and low, I’ll seek and follow Round and through, I’ll seek and follow I’ll seek and follow To seek and follow Feel the pain, tell a lie, watch your back, don’t terrorise Feel the pain, tell a lie, watch your back, don’t terrorise Feel the pain, tell a lie, watch your back, don’t terrorise Feel the pain, tell a lie, watch your back, don’t terrorise I don’t want to know, you don’t want to try, I wish I could see out of my mind I don’t want to know, you don’t want to try, I wish I could see out of my mind I don’t want to know, you don’t want to try, I wish I could see out of my mind I don’t want to know, you don’t want to try, I wish I could see out of my Mind, mind, mind, see out of my I don’t want to know, you don’t want to try, I wish I could see out of my mind Feel the pain, tell a lie, watch your back, don’t terrorise Feel the pain, tell a lie, watch your back, don’t terrorise Feel the pain, tell a lie

I can’t stay awake No change on tomorrow These memories are new No sense why I miss you Will you lay down With hair like fire and then Will you lay down With skin that’s softer than air I struggle to breath Wanting more than hours Your voice makes me weak Our distance shadows virtue Will you lay down With hair like fire and then Will you lay down With skin that’s softer than air Will you lay down With hair like fire Will you lay down With skin that’s softer than air It’s something I need, I can’t be alone The pull of the screen, bright lights then you’re gone How does your name, turn me to stone With thoughts of my hands running through your home I’d ask you to wait, don’t speak while I follow I’d ask you to wait, don’t speak while I ask you Will you lay down With hair like fire and then Will you lay down With skin that’s softer than air (x3)

Ethereal 04:14
Break and fill your heart with, treasured melting stones Stand up still and feel them sink into your bones Pray its coming, combined with a mindless and thoughtless reality She’s becoming a blinded blizzard with endless humilities Still their running, aligned with a spineless and timeless proximity She’s reminded to become dreaded, diminished, instinctively Realise, the cold between your eyes When all is said and done You cannot live your life Realise, the cold between your eyes When all is said and done You cannot live your life Thaw and flow into rivers, that drift you from your home Calm and ripple your mirrored, single tempest tone Pray its coming, combined with a seamless and helpless complexity She’s becoming a tightened temptress with hopeless conformity Still were running, aligned with a reckless and meaningless entity She’s reminded to become dreaded, distinguished, implicitly Realise, the cold between your eyes When all is said and done You cannot live your life Realise, the cold between your eyes When all is said and done You cannot live your life (Feel) Your heart break (And feel) the motions of the waves say (Feel) Your body sinking slowing (And feel) A darkened knowing, of ever growing, a flame ethereal Realise, the cold between your eyes When all is said and done You cannot live your life Realise, the cold between your eyes When all is said and done You cannot live your life

Structured in ways only pain survives Gripping your bones till the motions dry Up and away with your faults in tow And I know I will follow In ways when you scream in vain, I’d feel your strife As its coming, to the inexorable frame, I’d save your life When I’m alone I will save your life When I’m alone I will save your life Wait and I’ll close the doors to your home, I’ll let no one follow It comes in ways, the pain subsides, a lasting feeling of guilt and lies, we’ll end this now, our heads held high, it comes it ways the pain subside Fade away, born again, in pain and I waste your pride A final way, to find your reign in ways, to Esc. your life In ways when you scream in vain, I’d feel your strife As its coming, to the inexorable frame, I’d save your life Fade away, born again, in pain and I waste your pride A final way, to find your reign in ways, to Esc. your life When I’m alone I will save your life When I’m alone I will save your life Wait and I’ll close the doors to your home, I’ll let no one follow
