Dysmorphic 05:20
Taking stock of all the marks Whether pock or simple stretch This is where the spiral starts When I compare myself to standards set Will I ever find love without lush keratin fibers or slender middle curves I'm embarrassed and obsessed with visible traces of life lived and it's only getting worse I can't see myself through their eyes And mine lock onto flaws in any light You know, you know, you know what that implies You know it's not right In a passing glance, I see my shape It's just another chance to judge, to criticize Under chin or maybe some different trait And even if you had perfect skin well you'd still find one you don't like Hurry hurry, the wheel keeps turning, turning the same direction no matter how hard you fight Worry worry you're always losing losing all your value in the passing of time Where are your pores Airbrush the lines Where are your pores Post your lies Who am I and who do I want to be It's coming from the inside out Everybody's eyes look good in the sun It's coming from the inside out And it shines just for the one

One more round Lie around and drown it out One more line crossed Aligned in emptiness In empty bottles The bottom of the bag And lately the only constant I've had The mountains here are mole-made and filtered into monochrome I have to find my own way but don't think I can go alone Get out Get your fingers in the soil Feel the falling of the rain Come morning Start again, it never ends Come pouring down the throats of hollow men Entrenched in compounds that dull the blade of life So easy to get into but no way out from the inside The mountains here are mole-made and filtered into monochrome I have to find my own way but don't think I can go alone Get out Get your fingers in the soil Feel the falling of the rain Breathe in deep and exhale slowly Let the sunshine warm your face

A dream with open eyes Just watch the stone drip down Obvious disguise So deep inside it's all around I think time is oscillating with the breathing of the walls Struck by stray ice column embers falling from the front of my skull Discern the facades As matter wavers on and on I know that you were sure the floor was here But now it's gone I can feel the sound of every clock tower tearing colors apart Prism palace painted in more than the three dimensions of the heart All that you see is not all that there is All you can touch is not all that there is

Zeus 02:42
I see way you look at me And I can't assume but I feel that energy For too long, leaning toward You're too close to ignore But shame, shame's a bitch I know you still need to scratch that itch But wait, resist Don't look at me, it doesn't exist Your secret is safe with me We'll get that time alone when everybody goes to sleep Limbs brush until dawn Lips touch and then it's on But shame, shame's a bitch I know you still need to scratch that itch But wait, hold on I never planned to miss you when you're gone No, I never planned to miss you when you're gone Shame, shame's a bitch I know you still need to scratch that itch But wait, hold on I fall just as you're moving on

Niche 04:17
Sunlight beaming through your cozy climate room The same rays shrinking caps on poles beyond that hearse With mercury rising, neptune will follow Now the white has turned deep blue Warm open waters send the fury of heaven and the cure to our fleshbound curse Pray tell Cause now it's too late to repent, to blame But know you can be the change Apathy, a new disease See it spread like wild flame Could be cause some claim it isn't true with their pockets much too full So carelessness caught up in a cash flow agenda The story's always the same So enjoy your time while you still have any left to waste on our poor doomed souls But we deserve it Cause now it's too late to repent, to blame But know you can be the change, the change If none of this matters Then why are we here I need some answers To get a hold on this fear If none of this matters Then why are we here I need some answers Or we might lose our home my dear

Mercy 06:23
How did I become so frail Goodbye top of the chain Cherry pick the details And send them to battle the me in my brain Suspended in time Progress leaving you behind Debilitated and dilapidated With palpable reminders of every second wasted Garrison of porcelain Defiance and attrition setting in Polishing the mirror skin Let no light in Get your head down Forget at ease Remember the sound of munitions release An ill-advised cerebral arrangement A wretched device poorly devised in the heat of the fire's infringement So many questions So many outcomes The possibilities just taking me out at the knees Garrison of porcelain Defiance and attrition setting in Polishing the mirror skin Let no light in
