Clinging to reflections as if they mean a thing
I will walk through the open door
The past means nothing anymore
I'll break down the barriers blocking my way
All of the naysayers and enemies
Burn all the bridges that led me astray
Avert your gaze or you'll turn to stone
Seeking out some comfort to calm my shaky bones
Path to self-realization filled with terrorizing questions posed
Without an answer
Sun beats down, I lost it all
All I've found, I lost it all
I'll break down the barriers blocking my way
All of the naysayers and enemies
Burned all the bridges that led me astray
Avert your gaze or you'll turn to stone

Revisionist History

How was I supposed to know
Cause for the longest time it didn't clearly show
But as the image fades away
The one behind the curtain's forced to show their face
Pull me in with Siren songs
Your tales of persecution, how you do no wrong
Dragging me down for yourself
And leading me to think that you were someone else
Step back and know this is all just temporary
But wasn't it fun, a day in the sun, now over and done
Step back and know this is all just temporary
Look what you broke, your chance came you choked, quit holding out hope
You can't help but throw it all away
And as you sit and watch the world it's washing you away
You can self destruct like no one else, you know
I could have tried to help you save yourself
Looking back I guess I knew
There always seemed to be that darker side of you
I could have helped you save yourself
But you took comfort in the thought of someone else
Step back and know this is all just temporary
But wasn't it fun, a day in the sun, now over and done
Step back and know this is all just temporary
Look what you broke, your chance came you choked, quit holding out hope
You can't help but throw it all away
And as you sit and watch the world it's washing you away
You can self destruct like no one else, you know
I could have tried to help you save yourself
Oh well
Mistakes erased
I hope to find that one day I made it up
My own overactive imagination to blame

Hold your breath and wait for this to pass
Ego death, everything fades with time
Sleeping soul, a drone without a mind
No control, they'll push you to the point of breaking
Leap of faith from here into the void
Cityscapes have lost their former wonder
Fuck it all it's all a fuckin lie
Rise and fall, you're underground before you know it
Sure you could hide out, wait for the storm to clear
But where's the fun in that
Hesitate as the days slip by and nothing ever seems to change
You're your own worst enemy
Hold your breath and wait for this to pass
Ego death, everything fades with time
Sleeping soul, a drone without a mind
No control, they'll push you to the point of breaking
This indecision has got the best of me
Spill what's on your mind and I just can't relate
And I know it's not your fault
You're a product of your environment
But the world don't give a shit
She's a cruel bitch to be sure
Just throw another hurdle under my legs
Hesitate as the days slip by and nothing ever seems to change
You're your own worst enemy
One day you'll have to face all the cold complacency you once warmly embraced
When you chose to play it safe
Cause after all at the end of the day you gotta like what you see when you look at yourself in the mirror
One day you'll wake up just to find your life has passed you by
So much potential gone to waste without a reason why
Try not to think about the life you could have lived instead
Your days are over hold your fucking breath you're walking dead
Everybody's gone and everything's a mess.

So, you think it's taking a toll
You know, it's only gonna get worse
Cold cruel world
As the dissonance within us grows, harmful ideologies take hold
The illogical seeds that we sow in an effort to sustain our growth
Watch the harvest of yourself unfold, you just happened to need what they sold
The illogical seeds that we sow in an effort to sustain our growth
Cold cruel world
As the dissonance within us grows, harmful ideologies take hold
The illogical seeds that we sow in an effort to sustain our growth

Dead Weight

The car spurts and sputters but refuses to acknowledge my desire to drive
The black hole, the lack of control is enough to make the angels weep, watch it fall apart
Withholding information, time is running out
The rose coloured glasses I used to wear were bitch slapped offa my face
Without a doubt, I been living it out through a series of miscalculated efforts to right some perceived wrong
Withholding information, time is running out
The room is clearly full
Underneath it all I feel alone
The neverending push and pull
Empty bottles can't quite take me home, you know
Leaving without a place to go
Indulging in all of those classic misdirections to piss away the time
And save me from this dead weight keeping me behind
The ground shakes, the earthquake makes an undeniable attempt to unearth
A subconscious plot to overthrow the only source of motivation keeping my head above
Withholding information, time is running out
Smiling, laughing room is full
Underneath it all I feel alone
The neverending push and pull
Empty bottles can't quite take me home, you know
Leaving without a place to go
Indulging in all of those classic misdirections to piss away the time
And save me from this dead weight keeping me behind
You gave me hope, you kept me going
A ray of light in trying times
But when you left, the implication was weighing heavy on my mind
The constant doubt, the self reflection
The darkest truths I've ever known
Now without hope, I blindly wander
I'll try to find my way back home
