Eye to eye
Hold me closer
Skin on skin
I can taste your sweet surrender
When I pull you in
It's easy to be deceived
When you want to believe
I'll feed on all your fears
And I'll bathe inside your tears
Under the spell of Maya
Where nothing is as it seems
Under the spell of Maya
The keen and subtle masters enslave
And you like it when you're bound
It’s familiar and it’s oh so safe
When I tie you to the ground
You can’t run and you can’t hide
From the splinters in your mind
I'll feed on all your fears
And I'll bathe inside your tears
Under the spell of Maya
Where nothing is as it seems
Under the spell of Maya
Smoke and mirrors
Shadows crawl
Is it real?
Or not at all?
What you see is not what you get
Tethered to illusion's web
Don't you know
It’s all in your head
In and out
Of you and of me
Like waves crashing on the shore
I'm drowning
But I want more
Together forever
We lie
Bathed and braided
Inside we
Your lips on my lips
Your breath
On my skin
lying on love's altar
Our egos, we slaughter
I'm floating
I dont know
Where I end and
Where you begin
But I'm starting to see
All the red flags are flying
Your anemic vows
Made of glass
Are denying
The actions you take
Reveal that you're lying
Is this real
Or is this
Just a dream
Through all the shadows
Why won't you show me
Who you are
Actions tell me more than words
Will you bleed
Time is still passing
I wont be waiting
Anymore
Our rhythms aligned
Your heart beats with mine
We're bound intertwined
But intentions are blind
With your truth
By omission
I give you permission
To crown
And crucify
But I'm starting to see
All the red flags are flying
Your anemic vows
Made of glass
Are denying
The actions you take
Reveal that you're lying
Is this real
Or is this
Just a dream
Through all the shadows
Why won't you show me
Who you are
Actions tell me more than words
Will you bleed
Time is still passing
I won't be waiting
Anymore
I
Will
Take back my energy
I
Will
Suffocate the flame
I
Will
Take back the best of me
I
Will
Break and walk away
I long for the day
When money's not your god
A poison idolatry
And focus on gold
Are the strings that hold you
Tight blind fold
Heart cold
Eager to be sold
In the shape of a slave
Just do what you're told
Never question why
You can't touch me inside
Get on your knees
It’s time for you to pray
To the ones in control
Who told you what to say
You promised
Liar
Let me help you
Take out your knife
Let's do this together
Sever the tie
Let me help you
Cut through the cord
Let's do it together
Sever the tie
Let go
They took what you gave
Put it in a box
You let them feed
Whenever they want
Once you take it out
It’s hard to put back in
Your ruby heart’s
Atrophied within
You promised
Liar
Let me help you
Take out your knife
Let's do this together
Sever the tie
Let me help you
Cut through the cord
Let's do it together
Sever the tie
Let go
Light as a feather
Stiff as a board
The path of the other
Is through that door
Forget what they say
Set aside your doubt
Fly through the colors
Turn inside out
Let me help you
Take out your knife
Let's do this together
Sever the tie
Let me help you
Cut through the cord
Let's do it together
Sever the tie
Let go
Ockham’s razor slit your tongue
cause your heart’s wrapped up with knives
all along, I should’ve known
but I was caught in your cobwebbed lies
I know you
hate
to look at me
‘cause I’m your mirror,
and you are what you see
I know you
hate
to look at me
cause I’m your mirror,
and you are what you see
Locked inside their definition,
afraid of what they’ll say
I kicked that box where you were living
so you can see another way
Pushed you up against the edge
of who you are and who you want to be
pushed you up against the edge
so you can see
your own duality
And now
you hate
to look at me
‘cause I’m your mirror
and you are what you see
I know you hate
to look at me
cause im your mirror
and you are what you see
Mirror, mirror on the wall
your spell is dead
when you can see
that ugly reflection
is all in your head
won’t you crawl inside
my warm divine rose, and
drift from sea to shore
i’ll wash you from head to toe
wash, washing you away
you’ll see what i see
you’ll say what i want you to say
pray for your existence
keep your distance
meet you inside that flame
washing you away
you’ll see what i see
you’ll say what i want you to say
lost in this malignance, so
keep your distance
meet you inside that flame
afraid to leave this space
shifting paradigms, but
i will see you through, just
follow my sweet lullaby
lull, lulling you away
you’ll see what i see
you’ll say what i want you to say
pray for your existence
keep your distance
meet you inside that flame
lulling you away
you’ll see what i see
you’ll say what i want you to say
lost in this malignance, so
keep your distance
meet you inside that flame
burn
shrouded in denial
you’re so blinded by the red
that runs deep inside you
confusing your head
judge before you know,
drown out what’s been said,
hold true to your beliefs,
causethat’s all you ever need, and
don’t ask me why
you’re blind to that truth,
no don’t ask me why
just pocket the awful truth
don’t ask me why
you’re so blind to that truth,
no don’t ask me why
just pocket the awful truth
rationalize the lies,
so artfully designed
don’t back down
stand there and defend
'cause he’s the golden star
surrender to his spin
breath life into his hate
another pawn, another game,
and don’t ask me why
you’re blind to that truth
don’t ask me why
just pocket the awful truth and
don’t ask me why
you’re blind to that truth
no, don’t ask me why
just pocket the awful truth
don’t ask me
no don’t ask me
don’t ask me
dont ask me why
don’t ask me
don’t ask me
don’t ask me
why
13 winters have passed now
my scarlet bloom remains
that withered and dusty emblem
of broken eternity
spend the day to night waiting
like the night pining for its day
mending that scar you carved, and
waiting for some resolve, oh
it’s never gonna end
I’ve got to let this go
it’s never gonna end
I just can’t let this go
never let it go
faded, lost, broken
staring at the lines again
and I chase blurred reflections
circling round and round
and round my head
spend the day to night waiting
like the night pining for its day
mending that scar you carved, and
waiting for some resolve, oh
it’s never gonna end
I’ve got to let this go
it’s never gonna end
I just can’t let this go
never let it go
spend the day to night waiting
like the night pining for its day
mending that scar you carved, and
waiting for some resolve, oh
it’s never gonna end
I’ve got to let this go
it’s never gonna end
I’ve got to let this go
it’s never gonna end
I’ve got to let this go
it’s never gonna end
I just can’t let you go
let me go
let me go
let me go
let it go
can you hear that silence
the quiet of your mind
back into that silence
and touch the awareness
of that void
come a little closer
don’t ask me to explain
I’ll point out the way
And I will wait, patiently
I am a stranger to you
I am a piece of yourself
I don’t need anyone
I don’t need anything
I am a stranger to you
I am a piece of yourself
I don’t need anyone
I don’t need anything, no
I am a devil to religion
Always beat down with pride
The old unfamiliar,
place somewhere
deep inside
I am a stranger to you
I am a piece of yourself
I don’t need anyone
I don’t need anything
I am a stranger to you
I am a piece of yourself
I don’t need anyone
I don’t need anything
...no
receding into shadow
well being cast aside
the global mood is grim
and there’s nowhere left to hide
the wounds you’ve cut are deep
and you just can’t turn around
in the climate you’ve created
we’re caught trembling at the sound
erode the will
erode the will to question
erode the will
erode the will to question
paranoia and suspicion
is wrapped around your eyes
blinding the last bit of vision
it’s so tight you wanna cry
you’re driven by your demons
and betraying your own truth
enchained to the legacy
enabling the fool, oh
erode the will
erode the will to question
erode the will
erode the will to question
silence opposition
circumvent free will
masquerade the vision
and dictate our direction
caught in desperate action
treading the sea of truth
bound by strings that move you
agreed to in your youth
double-barrelled silence
is absconding your inner voice
we’re hostage to the mindless
and we’re left without a choice
erode the will
erode the will to question
erode the will
erode the will to question, oh
erode the will
erode the will to question
erode the will
erode the will to question
there’s a dull ache deep inside my head
endlessly nibbling on my good sense
and this scar festers, it just won’t mend
lingering like the oil on the riverbed
and I’ve become a witness
communing at the constants
seeing only the edge of dawn and dusk
so I delay
this destined departure
dangling back and forth
riding this pendulum
of truth and faith
afraid to leave this space
this yearning is a reminder
to sit, to listen, reconnect, be open
let it be
to sit, to listen, reconnect, be open
let it be
dispassioned, I was and learned but a few
took the easier path, set aside my truth
entombed in the past, repainting memories
I cling to that fiction, I trail helplessly
and I’ve become a witness
communing at the constants
seeing only the edge of dawn and dusk
so I delay
this destined departure
dangling back and forth
riding this pendulum
of truth and faith
afraid to leave this space
this yearning is a reminder
to sit, to listen, reconnect, be open
let it be
to sit, to listen, reconnect, be open
let it be
and I’ve become a witness
communing at the constants
seeing only the edge of dawn and dusk
so I delay
this destined departure
dangling back and forth
riding this pendulum
of truth and faith
afraid to leave this space
this yearning is a reminder
to sit, to listen, reconnect, be open
let it be
to sit, to listen, reconnect, be open
let it be
let it be
let it be
let it be
let it be
let it be
thought you were awake
I thought you could see
carrying your diamond
now, I know it was me
floating on that surface
searching for a safe warm womb
dissecting your existence
you cheated your way through
now you’re isolated,
disconnected,
walking dead, and
Ignorant
sit in your anachronistic pool
making excuses
like a fool
rejecting anything new
with my eyes shut
I see through you
I see through you
I see through you
running from your fears
you can’t escape your past
can’t question your assumptions
you can’t let go of those bonds
accumulating comforts
you’re addicted to the same
distorted reality
and ignorant to it all
now you’re isolated,
disconnected,
walking dead, and
ignorant
sit in your anachronistic pool
making excuses
like a fool
rejecting anything new
with my eyes shut
I see through you
my eyes are shut , and
I see through you
I see through you
I see through
I see through
I see through you
I see through
I see through
I see through you
sit in your anachronistic pool
making excuses
like a fool
rejecting anything new
with my eyes shut
I see through you
my eyes are shut and
I see through you
my eyes are shut and
I see through you
my eyes are shut and
I see through
you
and you worked so hard
almost there
it’s right before you
beyond it’s glare, oh
you can see it
feel it
you can touch it
and taste it
but you hear them
in the distance
and you choose to
remain there, at
almost one
cause its lonely at the top
almost one
won’t show em what you got
almost one
won’t ever let you see
almost one
that’s all you’ll ever be
three quarters there
up that hill
so close yet so far
do you dare?
you can see it, and
feel it
you can touch it
and taste it
but you hear them
in the distance
and you choose to
remain there, at
almost one
cause its lonely at the top
almost one
won’t show em what you got
almost one
won’t ever let you see
almost one
that’s all you’ll ever be
you can see it, feel it, touch it, and taste it, but you hear them in the distance, and you
choose to remain there
at almost one, almost one, almost one, almost one
almost one
cause its lonely at the top
almost one
won’t show em what you got
almost one
won’t ever let you see
almost one
that’s all you’ll ever be
almost one, almost one, almost one
almost one won’t leave here
almost one, almost one will stay here
almost one, almost one
you’ve almost won
you’ve almost won
