Debunked at Home

I don’t know about the status quo, but my anecdote has a shadow
Felt the grasp of the tentacle on my shoulder blade, now I’m getting cold
I’m going home
Please just leave me alone
Chemicals are my camouflage
In my mobile home, in my sweet mirage
Lost my coat in the catacombs
Now I’ve got to go because I’m getting cold
I’m going home
Please just leave me alone
Feet together
Hands apart
Back against the wall with my head in the clouds
Growing old with no antidote, but I can’t complain - it’s unoriginal
Blame my fear on “no self-control”
The writing on the wall is illegible
Chemicals are my camouflage
When I’m feeling safe I self-sabotage
In my dreams I’m a cannibal, but I myself appear to be the one who’s edible
Well I say set it, forget it
It’s not too late
Put down the machine, let’s concentrate
Envision a timespan with no constraints
Don’t shoot the messenger, commiserate
Set it, forget it
It’s not too late
Put down the machine, let’s concentrate
Envision a timespan with no mistakes
Don’t shoot the messenger, commiserate

Getting Warmer

Kneel at the behest of ultimate forgiveness
Nothing against the nest, but I’m just not that into togetherness
Time to face a fact: we’re not getting second chance
If you taste the taste, I’m afraid that there will be no turning back
Get it together
If we don’t start getting better we’re all doomed
Nothing to do
Nothing to see
No one left to hear you
Just another face
Recognized at last!
A thousand pennies for your thoughts
One day wake up, next day you don’t
Doesn’t matter what you do
Up in the cloud there will be no tether left to hold onto
Nothing to see
Nothing to fear
No one left to come to home to
Everyone’s gone
Doesn’t matter what you did, now it’s all doomed

Confidence Warning
02:19
|

I give myself a confidence warning
I lay alone under my bed
Guess I might undermine myself often
More than I’d like to admit
(Wasting time undermining)
Never want to be the one forgetting what makes my life all it is
End up with nothing but regret
Yes I’m wasting time undermining
I’ve been wasting time undermining
(Never saw my shadow again)
Never saw my shadow again, but I suppose I wasn’t really looking for it
Never saw my shadow again, but to be fair I wasn’t paying attention
Never saw my shadow again
(Where is my shadow? Where is it?)
I give myself a confidence a confidence warning
Look me in my eyes
I’m cinnamon again
Guess I know a thing or two about being lonely
Nothing left to do but begin again

Raw Animal

Regardless of your age
When you’re standing by the lake
I see it on your face, and I understand your pain
Regardless of the waves, it always stays the same
I see it on your face, and I understand your pain
I understand the pain
What in heaven’s name are you?
Some kind of raw animal
We don’t have a chance in hell
Get a grip or get a clue
What in heaven’s name are you?
Some kind of raw animal
Nothing in our futures clear
We’ll reappear as something new
I see it on your face, and I understand your pain
I understand the pain

Accidental Holiday

Accidental holiday
I fall into the trap either way
I’m lazy-eyed & scatterbrained
Avoiding the mistake
Do you want to hide?
Spending every moment with your head in the sand
Does it make you feel any better?
Why languish in these confines?
Ominous & vacant, you are the gatekeeper of your own future
A quiet retreat
Deep in the atmosphere
The warm hand of hospitality is extended to the visitor (from far & near)
Accidental holiday
My secrets safely hidden away
I lay around imagining a final soft embrace

Tell me: where did you learn to cooperate?
All of your troubles will disintegrate
I’m in darkness
It’s been two decades since we spoke
but I recognize your voice like it’s the morning we awoke

Obsidian.exe

Whenever I lose my way, my guiding light is your shining face
It’ll never fade to grey
Feel like I’m knee-deep in my grave
Or am I reborn into waves of obsidian every day?
My understanding fluctuates
If I live or die, am I going to smile?
Am I going to have to be the one to decide whether or not to wear a disguise?
I’ve grown weary of the mask wearing itself
I become a shell of myself
Well if I never disemminate my fears
will your embrace hold water or evaporate?
I make a wish
I’m wide awake
I’m trapped in a scarlet haze
I want you to remain

Flame of Truth
03:08
|
|

|
Tell me the truth
I’m waiting for you
100 mistakes I can’t explain
Begin again
I shred my second skin again
Tell me the truth
I’m waiting for you
(Call me up, I’m waiting now)

Cerulean 20%
03:13
|
|||
|
Some days I feel like I’m already dead
Other days I’m just getting started
If I were comatose, I’d understand
but I buzz like a gnat trapped in rubber cement
I sneeze down my shirt
I butter my bread
I still can’t comprehend
Tell me: what is the point of the slog?
If I die tomorrow all is lost
Some days I feel so misunderstood
Nothing I say comes across as it should
All my friends blame Mercury retrograde
but in my opinion we’re halfway afraid the puzzle pieces won’t align
and our graves will reward our mistakes
Tell me: what is the point of the slog?
Am I alive or have I been dead all along?
Tell me: why do we embrace the false when the true is sleeping in our arms?

Evergreen Legend
04:05
|

|
Hollow as a tree fallen in the meadow
I believe the lies I drink to be sweeter than the fruits of my reality
Shallow as a leech at the bottom of a poisoned creek
A shadow in the weeds whispered gently to me all its secrets

Ask Me Anything
00:51
|
|||
|
Can I ask a question?
I must know
Let me get that answer even if it’s bold
Because I want to know how the judges find out
Let me get to know all your troubles
Help me help you out
