lyrics

Here lies the face of the new machine
Already rusting between dirty sheets
we tried to beat clean
like the sins of so-called heathens
not realizing our blindness
through the eyes of our own demons
Like seasons we binge on life and death
Purging in third worlds the mess of our nests
our humble unknowns from which we turn our heads
as far as we can before breaking our necks
We bend and twist like contortionists
all in vein to avoid the face
of the pain parade
in hopes that we can masquerade a little longer
in our once gray, now black water

Though we all live in a glass house
and not everyone wants out
I am throwing stones despite my home
to smash away all the panes
as I've been feeling a bit claustrophobic these days

So I left as a Ranger with the weight of the world on my shoulders to become a vulture
nestling myself in the valley of two boulders
To intense heat from cold streaks I combusted spontaneously
And from the ashes
a new series of dreams was born to lead me

Now this is my pilgrimage
Flesh red with wanderlust itch
I'm on the road again, only this time with less
trying to fill the void that WAS my existence
with something more than nothingness
Cause I got this notion that space and time
are one infinite ocean - a construct of the mind
the fabric thereof being information
implicit by nature, limited only by creation
So I asked myself with this new found wisdom
what were the tools that got me to listen
And the more I thought the more I got lost
in a dance with my ego's entrapping cause

It wasn't until I realized I know nothing
that I learned to fly

I've only soared as high before in dreams alone
afraid to let myself let go
Clutching crutches like feet on a tight rope
teetering between the highest towers
begging to get back to base, I cowered
from bliss for illusion in a temporary fix
Chemicals to trip, alcohol to forget
aspirations devoured by a faceless pig

Consumption for the sake of destruction
bleeds dreams forever as a lost function
taking the form of any addiction
claiming the cure is in the infliction

Until the levees broke and flooded receptors
I was lost in a maze of myself
A dose of reality about soul collectors
shattered isms to pieces and turned weakness to wealth
