Considered all the variables Draw the line, then sever Suffering, all the while biding time Widen your narrow, blackened eyes Feeling it slowly slipping away Like everything else that’s preceded me Insignificant the things that I can’t change Set aside the fact, the matter that you blindly look away To move forward in this world of lashing haste You’re testing my will I’ve allowed you to mold it, Manipulate it to your ill will Oh, nothing comes from dissonance Nothing comes from the dissonance We move forward in this world of lashing haste You’re testing our will We’ve allowed you mold it And manipulate it to your ill will Feeling it slowly slipping away Like everything else that’s preceded me Insignificant the things that I can’t change, all the while Feeling it slowly slipping away Set aside the fact, the matter that you blindly look away

Focus, it gets complicated Would you draw this over to me? If I focus, it gets complicated I won’t live this over Look at me like a diamond, Held strong by its wicked arms Must have been complicated I’ll never live this over I’ll never live this over It’s such a crime Will I ever live this over? I’m leaving it out so I can’t complicate If I hold it like a diamond, You even it out so I can tame Giving it all up to someone better To see I’ve locked it all away I’ll never come again No, I’ll never live this over Focus, it gets complicated Would you draw this over to me? If I focus, it gets complicated I won’t live this over If I ever live this over, I’m giving it up so I can’t complicate If I hold it like a diamond, You even it out so I can’t change Over, over…

Spiraling around, Your ego has fallen down, and it’s wrapped beneath your feet Could this mean you’re not who you claimed to be? Constantly tripping on false intentions I’ll take this chance To kick you in the face The same deceitful way You did me If I could close my eyes and turn to walk away Leave you in your pathetic state Of finding who you truly became, A liar like me If I could close my eyes and turn to walk away Leave you in your pathetic state Of finding who you truly became, A liar like me I see no point in this now… And that’s right, you didn’t You fell upon your face once again And you don’t even realize it You’re a tragedy awaiting

Well, I'm awakening As you make your defiant way Well, I have had enough of this Dormancy lying in wait I'm frightened and on edge Of the outcome this potentially could breed Exposed and unable to move, To fend off this nefarious world Soon I will leave this shit behind In a steady transition from larvae to fly Until then I'll feed upon it, taking what I need to stay alive, One day to fly, my thick skin's hardening Soon I will grow my strength and my wings will rise, Hoping to fly Stemming from beneath my skin this nourishment for my wings working, Soon to take flight Until then I'll feed upon it, taking what I need to stay alive One day to fly My thick skin's hardening Soon I will grow my strength and My wings will rise, soon to take flight The current phase passes as the next begins On my way to open up and rise Open, rise To open, rise…

I never asked for this, I Never twisted your self-righteous arms But you swear upon my dying day That I set out to harm you My mind hasn’t changed Even though I know you tried to sway me Sorry if it didn’t turn out the way you planned it to, But I could see right through your contrivance all the way A failed attempt to paralyze Left you on your knees Suffocating As I filter through the Remainder of what lies before me, Attempting to piece together something recognizable, Something I’m able to relate to As I continue to immerse my entirety, Myself as a whole accepting body, exposed to all your lies A failed attempt to paralyze Left you on your knees Suffocating All this frustration I’ve built up inside You’re pushing me to cross the line Now I can see Your eyes slowly Fading away Your eyes, they try to edify Sometimes it just doesn’t rectify Here in your mind it’s taken control Pull through the wake and lose it all So you’re weak, I am what you need So run free, I will be here waiting Trust in me, fear is all perceived Shaded lies, I will take you away Trust Me

Lost in my own delusions, The mud, the walls, this shit to plea For a new beginning, a New transition to see Hesitant to cleanse my brow, My fallen, wasted life Emit this overconsumption, they Patiently wait to kill me As these stabbing beads of sweat Press against the back of my neck Hesitant to wipe them away, My fear of shivering heat waves Consuming me, this warmth Pushing up from within my gut Don’t tell me how to breathe With your heel in my chest If not for my hands to Verify truth, My eyes might have been misguided by you, Lead to believe you, Oh this confusion! And that reminds me Somehow I’ve found this Will to stand Before you, I’m mirrored by my Inability to be Embrace the fold Luring me in, a seductive way to breathe In this state of analgesia, designed specifically, suggesting a deterioration Identify what’s taken over me In its attempt to control me, I fail to detach from myself This time, I’ve got to find a way out now This time, I’ve thrown it all away, I’m down now This time, I can only watch and wait

Waist deep into the water So convinced it’s alright Dive on in if you really feel it will revive If you feel you’ll survive You should never close your eyes, Even if it appears alright The current has a way of shedding light Purest eyes, Lost your innocence to these starving serpents that squeeze so tight You will find Their sick dark rants whisper beautiful harmonies intended to blind Hissing absurdities in my eyes Slither out from the filthy hole where you hide You should save yourself You’re no higher, send your fire down Swell to induce us all to have your way Difficult not to feel disdain The way you move, the way to draw them down and in this treachery Sickens me to the bitter end Spit your lunacy in my eyes Slither out from the filthy hole where you hide You should save yourself, Passed off as a higher almighty in your hooded shroud Swell to induce us all to have your way, Posturing, intent to render fear Unwavering ability to draw them in, hypnotize Difficult to not watch you drown You should get out while you’re alive Pissing absurdities in my eyes Slither back to the filthy hole where you hide Sacrifice yourself Sell your fire, send your fire down Now Blossoming intent to fuel despair The way you move, the way to draw them down and in this treachery Sickens me till your bitter end

Cue this violence Hidden inside all along Through this smooth dance I’ve learned to walk again When this began I meant no harm at all Review this carnage When I’m dead and gone Avoiding all revealing light, I approach behind I want nothing more than this, Oh, to touch your body It’s so nice to meet you, To move in closer Entice me to recall I’m compelled to turn away, to fade away as if I never came Here to have my way, to finally engage you face to face Release this harbored rage, a weight begging to be lifted today I swear I’ll walk away, just walk away right as soon as you Lie face down, behind You I breathe out, Release my vise, My sickening Come forth inside, why fight? Restraints hold tight, stay silent To drown in your eyes tonight, They reflect the same emotions in mine I never wanted to go through with this, I only wanted it for my eyes No use in validating reasons They’re never finding the answers why I’ll never let it come down, no

Provoking eyes Controlling minds, Constantly persuading my conflicting will to concede Into annihilation Overstepped my own mind set to find I am not alone, nor am I myself This isn’t me or a dream and consequence, it Seems it has no intention of slowing down Or turning around, there is no preventing this My eyes opened wide, Dilated, paralyzed, Disentangling all that Has been standing before me Penetrating, all I thought I was inside I’m changing, blindly staring open-minded in the light Confide in my own soul I cannot let go I’ve come to realize what could have already been known Provoking eyes Controlling minds, Constantly persuading my conflicting will to concede Into annihilation And when it all comes down We will have no other way out No longer an option of turning around, There will be no preventing it Suck all the life out from under me Just before it tears my flesh away Suffocating my drying airway, gasping as I bleed into the sky I am just so terrified by all of this Standing before the eye of reason, Lost in its whole entire meaning Drifting away, subtly awakened, why am I drawn in and captivated Cut away at my hands and knees, Scabbed and bleeding, but still breathing Scattered among the cold and hopeless, All while nothing to show for this It’s all a scheme to blanket my face Should I have known this all along? Hidden within their charade, I should have known all along Esoteric Disguise Enforce your mark, your arms I refuse to conform Enforce your mark, your arms I refuse to conform to this Descend and hope to live, to breathe again This will never end, Pushed us to the edge once again

And it’s so volatile, I thought nothing to stand in your way You came so far To just throw it all away, A whisper in the world My disbelief Overshadows any reasoning And no one could ever Have stood in your way If that’s the way it has to be, Too bad it’s the way it has to Anything to keep you from giving in this time Sometimes it’s never enough just to be alive And I couldn’t have ever changed your mind You knew I couldn’t have ever let you go - I’ll never let you go I hope you sleep satisfied
