Preacher

But if we’re just decoys
Where’s the sound of heaven
If there’s really no choice
Where do I start my descent to hell?
I know it’s not my place to fall this far
Going nowhere fast
But I’ve locked up tight my heart
And need this space to relax
I’m falling through the levels
To socialize with devils
My mind’s a stolen vessel
I can’t forgive
I’m peeling back the layers
Of pain for me to savor
Immortalizing favors
A chance to live
Preacher, do I speak for you?

Roots To Bloom
04:26

These creatures consume without producing
Feral and famished, a womb of reducing
Rebarbative waste in an age antagonized
Depressively cling to the term victimized
You’re the carbon copy of the disenfranchised
Computerized viruses stagnant and crystallized
Infusing wired hearts to fail for amusement
Using fractions of fraudulent figment for a pigment of translucence.
You are the fear I am facing
Damaged unprivileged
Dying so soon
You are the mask I am wearing
Pulled from my heart
Planting roots to bloom
It’s written in blood on the walls on these prisons
In calculated time for those unforgiven (Where would you be by now?)
Not by your religion, not by your grace
But still we race to have a place in crowded space
I know your face
It’s time to evolve
It’s time to be better after all
Still apart from me, still apart from you
I don’t pretend to be equipped with the answers
Just questions it seems and it eats at me constantly
Splitting hairs and pulling teeth
And they’re rioting violently
Chattering, splattering walls with my idols and false starts
I haven’t aligned at all to play my part

Self

I watch the world with my insect eyes
I search for love with my speck of a heart
I feel the heat while it magnifies
The ebb and flow and friction, stop and start
There’s ash in the airwaves
Distorting the truth
White noise and remorse
From the difference of views
Hell has ignited the worth of the few
Embers like stars scar the mass we imbue
And I don't think I'm gonna be alright like this (Like I need to be)
I can't believe in hell
I don't believe in myself

Deceiver

These paradoxical nightmares are waking proof that you're still here
I feel the echo vibrate through my bones
I am home you said, I am never alone
I am home in my head, how do I feel alone?
You slip through the tension like smoke through a woven screen
Haunting me through my skin, a duality of my being
It's a curse to seem familiar
It's a lie to tell the truth
If I change will I remember the best parts in all of you?
Deceiver, deceive me
Make me believe I made myself
Believer, believe me
Before you deceive yourself
Translucent deduction this air is spread thin
All that you waste is all I take in
Am I not worth the oxygen in this prison?
Elusively sane I'm toeing the line
Would it make you feel better to dissect my mind?
Take out the pieces and puzzle me clueless
Feed off the knowledge and render me useless
The pot calls the kettle but the dialtone is clear
Nothing of worth is available here
