Late for Nothing

Dead leaves on the ground When they were falling I held your hand When they hit pavement I let them go I run alone in the street It's a dead end Rubber, punctured by nails The rust is spreading I must run fast now Repeat, repeat Spoken in whispers I can't buy any more time to preserve the line You have to fight to keep it going I'm at loss I'll cut my heart I'll trust my gut I'll cut my heart I trust my gut You try to draw a straight line You make a circle every Repeat, repeat Keep pushing pens Repeat, repeat Push through paper Repeat, repeat It's a circuit Repeat, repeat This is real for me You've got to stick your neck out Don't fight that circuit anymore (Don't, don't, don't fight it) It's not enough (Don't fight it) You've got to stick your neck out (Don't, don't, don't fight it) Don't fight that circuit anymore (Don't, don't, don't fight it) It's not enough (Don't fight it, don't fight it) Cut out my heart I'll trust my gut I'll trust my gut I'll trust it You tried to draw a straight line You make a circle every time Circle neverending Circle neverending Circle neverending Circle neverending Repeat, repeat Keep pushing pens Repeat, repeat Push through paper This Is Not Done

It's a sign of the times, the impression that you made Glossed over by a wave A golden lining in your grave Beneath the dirt it's all the same Last night I saw a thousand faces in a line And I could not recall a name And I could not recall a time, when I I needed someone to move me Not someone to save me Just someone to move me Not someone to Change things desperately I think mediocrity is this the key? I can't I won't be, I won't be sitting there now Break me out, let me out It's a sign of the times, there's nothing to gain This world was never mine, it's not mine I let the hive mind consume me I can feel them all moving, I can feel them all moving I can feel Last night I saw a thousand faces in a line And I could not recall a name And I could not recall a time, when I I needed someone to move me Not someone to save me Just someone to move me Not someone to The perception that does not mean shit to me I'm not a product of, I'm not a product of my name The perception that does not mean shit to me I'm not a product of, I'm not a product of my name The perception that does not mean shit to me I'm not a product of you

Filthy Born in a dust storm and brought up Up in a cloud On the tops of trees I was taught to distrust ideas opposing my thoughts I was taught to distrust ideas opposing my thoughts And you would be swayed, bending like branches and you would be played A spark for the kindling, bending like branches, bending like branches now Old ways die so slow, but we both know to reap and sow They raised us not to grow, but we both know to reap and sow Revel in darkness, revel in dirt Excel in the muck and the mud Crawling and creeping, waiting away for the turn, change in the air that I love Feel it soon, harvest moon, won't you look up with me? Children, you'll feel it soon, there is a harvest moon Look with me, there is a harvest moon Old ways die so slow, but we both know to reap and sow They raised us not to grow, but we both know to reap and sow Feel it soon, there is a harvest moon Won't you look up with me? There is a harvest moon

I felt the ocean breaking over my head, I'm spinning A constant pressure I can't fight I might not make it through the night The night The night The night I was raised in a state; so much at stake A slab of meat deteriorating, muscles are weak No bone in my back, ligaments slack Sensations, my insides cave as they rot Infested in waves, take hold of my marrow And wash it away No bone in my back, ligaments slack Sensations, my insides cave as they rot I'm treading water, dreading the end won't numb my feeling I'm calling out to you, I'm begging you for help 'Cause I've been given all the answers And I can't even help myself Yes I've been given all the answers And I can't even help myself I held a glass out in my hands I made fist; a consequence My fingertips are filled with shards My open palm is filled with blood A single drop will conjure up Unspeakable creatures preserved in the salt Worse than darkest pools in my mind They float, suspended There is no time, no time I'm treading water, dreading the end won't numb my feeling I'm calling out to you, I'm begging you for help 'Cause I've been given all the answers And I can't even help myself Yes I've been given all the answers And I can't even help myself I curse the god who brought a vision as I cry for help An island passing and I'm reaching out for help 'Cause I've been given all the answers And I can't even help myself Yes I've been given all the answers And I can't even help myself

I am responsible I blame myself for your slight of hand You turn the mirrors in A glass reflection I can't withstand And my patience wears thin You are so stuck in your ways I am the rope you are hanging on And my patience wears thin My patience wears thin Can I recover the waste? I am the fire, I smoke you out And my patience wears thin My patience wears thin Loving fed a lie That we couldn't separate And when I let it die I constantly paid for it When the story begins You never stepped in And my patience wears thin You are so stuck in your ways I am the rope you are hanging on And my patience wears thin My patience wears thin Can I recover the waste? I am the fire, I smoke you out And my patience wears thin My patience wears thin

All these noises burst my eardrums All these noises burst my eardrums My eyes went black But now I see them Iron blue Transcending static I see the colors I see them And they bleed into one They bleed into one Frozen now Inside and out I am a heat wave Waterfalls Ice in their mouth, I am a heat wave There is a change coming Primary colors blurring My eardrums burst in colors And they bleed into one They bleed into one Frozen now Inside and out I am a heat wave Waterfalls Ice in their mouth, I am a heat wave There is change There is a change coming Primary colors, they bleed into one Primary colors bleed into one

I've had a guide my whole entire life I lack the drive myself My passion’s gone Used to see stars The sky is dark Pick a message at this point I don’t care Take the exit ‘cause we’re getting nowhere Signs are blurring I can’t tell what’s out there Take the exit ‘cause we’re getting nowhere I took the test It was a mess I spent my whole life on your right slumped in my seat With my head down in my hands I didn't notice the scenery And now I realize I didn't take the time And now I see Exits leading nowhere Exits leading nowhere Pick a message at this point I don’t care Take the exit ‘cause we’re getting nowhere Signs are blurring I can’t tell what’s out there Take the exit ‘cause we’re getting nowhere Exit because we’re getting nowhere Exit because we’re getting nowhere Exit because we’re getting nowhere Exit because we’re getting nowhere

Don't be surprised if it hurts you I don't think I'm the one that you cling to when you can't handle it And now they've got you surrounded Well I've found it I'm on my own And now they're telling me the life that I want was less important than the role that I'm playing Yeah, they'll take away the things that I have 'cause on me it's just wasted And these days I'm alone, alone I know you can't recover this It's just a shame to waste away Well you can waste away Recoil the rope as you spew silent notes and my bones will splinter from the fall I will recall with a smile on my face I am a stranger I cut ties It's not a problem It's a solution Am I a fool to you Postured so innocent so it would seem You cut off the head of your own reflection You cut off the head of it These days I'm alone, alone These days I'm alone, alone For the first time I see myself Cutting my ties I'm finally free Not strung along by my innocence Well that didn't make sense to me These days I'm alone, alone I know you can't recover this It's just a shame that way These days I'm alone, alone I know you can't recover this It's just a shame

Lost in the depths of your mind vacant; distant Easy to close your eyes, your eyes for the auction You sell it on your back You can hardly protect yourself So accepting, they have your best intentions Admit defeat to me Cut up in a million pieces Enclosed in packaging You look so sweet filled with deceit You catch me armed to the teeth I will be the last one standing Your pleasure comes with a fee You look so cheap with the price you’re demanding I refuse to be that weak It’s not enough I refuse to be that weak You feel so pure when you spit it out It makes you so sick when you swallow Obsessed with flashing lights Admit defeat to me Cut up in a million pieces Enclosed in packaging You look so sweet filled with deceit You catch me armed to the teeth I will be the last one standing Your pleasure comes with a fee You look so cheap with the price you’re demanding I refuse to be that weak It’s not enough I refuse to be that weak Don’t want it Won’t become like you A thing of beauty polished bright before it’s sold A dead-eyed girl will come to life when she is told A thing of beauty polished bright before it’s sold I promise I could break the mold I promise I could break the mold You feel so pure when you spit it out It makes you so sick when you swallow Obsessed with the flashing lights

So sick; The way You drown me in my sleep I dream of the way things were When you consumed the consciousness I keep The poisonous spell you've cast on me You feel the heat off my body You lift my feet off the ground You lie in wait just to prey upon my wants and needs A curse is leaving my body But I still want you around A sickly sweetness that brings me back down to my knees And now I know What a silly girl Could love a man who could play a game A sickly sweetness that brings me back down to my knees A sickly sweetness that brings me back down to my knees My sin My skin is crawling with anticipation You send shivers Down my spine keeping time to the click of my teeth I tell you I stay forever And I know now what a silly girl Who could love a man? You feel the heat off my body You lift my feet off the ground You lie in wait just to prey upon my want and needs A curse is leaving my body But I still want want you around A sickly sweetness that brings me back down to my knees You feel the heat off my body I want you around The heat of my body, my body A curse is leaving my body I want it around Feel it leaving my body, my body

Close your eyes And align your palms and fingertips And feed me your dreams and aspirations I have the power to read To read your mind Nothing’s free I collect mine Is this the God that you asked for? I’m just a vessel in his name I am a parasite getting fat off incompetence and blame Then I peddle security So you can fall asleep at night The confidence you lack fuels me I think I’m doing it alright I set out to poison them with the divine I scratch out their eyes to see through mine And when I die I’m sure that I’m going to Heaven You must pay the price to leave this life And join me in Heaven Or burn in Hell Echoing with the gnashing teeth A burning lake waiting Put silver in my head This is not my creation I’m just a vessel in his name I am a sycophant of light The blood will wash my sins away I set out to poison them with the divine I scratch out their eyes to see through mine And when I die I’m sure that I am going to Heaven You must pay the price to leave this life And join me in Heaven It will end soon (I am a syncophant of light) It will end soon It will end soon
