Lies.
Lies.
Lies.
You’re tossed in this storm.
Some heavenly object of scorn
will rip through the ship,
not accustomed to mourn;
a torn and broken moan
of harmony in such a poor tone.
Heads are bowed, and our knees can’t be peeled from the floor;
we are soldiers still fighting your incessant war.
Nature’s beauty is lost, now we’re wrapped to the sword.
Heavenly Harmony/Universal Discord
Tell me the truth,
not what we've learned from you.
This pain-
This sound-
I can't even think-
Won't you pour me a drink...
Great Creator...
What have you done?
What have we done?
*FROM harmony, from heavenly harmony,
This universal frame began:
When nature underneath a heap
Of jarring atoms lay,
And could not heave her head,
The tuneful voice was heard from high,
'Arise, ye more than dead!'
Then cold, and hot, and moist, and dry,
In order to their stations leap,
And Music's power obey.
We won’t be just like you.

Let’s go back
to times we always thought we’d have.
A god-send,
we’ll celebrate both good and bad,
and that we even made it here.
And when the time comes we’ll walk away,
holding our hurt hearts in our hands.
And when the time comes we’ll walk away,
Like we always knew we would.
I remember past, present, and future of a time presently passed, and I think of every moment since the one I saw you last, and I’m thankful for honesty, 'cause honestly we knew we’d die, but after death a breath of truth could spark the greatest li
We kept falling fast,
And we keep falling faster.
Nothing stays gold forever.
Remember art and wonder
and you will never falter -
We will never falter.
Holding on. Letting go,
remembering the fleeting gold,
and
when the time comes we’ll walk away
holding our heads high in the air.
And when the time comes we’ll walk away,
Like we always knew we would.
we stay gold

Even your thoughts lie
in vain
asleep in their beds all the same.
Awake, think what they want you to,
mimetic of how they learned to-
A spark of individually
exploding geniuses set free.
See, I know that you're lying
but the truth will set you free.
Yes, I know you're tired of trying.
That's where they thought you'd be.
Even your thoughts lay awake.
Not numbed, O, such pain they will take.
Awake to your philosophy
of whirl pooling voices, drowning in me.
See, I know that you're lying
but the truth will set you free.
Yes, I know you're tired of trying.
That's where they thought you'd be.
Before our destruction
I thought of worlds before us.
War.
Insecurity has taken its toll once again.

I’m broken, please fill me up.
I know it can’t be done, but
I want to feel the water dripping through the holes.
I want to feel the wounds close
if only for a second.
You lied to me. A tragedy, now what of what I thought is true?
I looked up to you.
And so, I go, , creeping through the world
Alone - no family, no broken sense of home.

And so, I go, awake to myself, finally on my own.
And I hope our time meant anything to you at all.
I’ve flown, it seems that you’re still sitting on your own,
just know, I hope you’re doing well but you should
stay away.
My time’s come and the thought of you is weighing me down.
I’m not simple enough.
Stay away from me.
I’m doing better on my own. You’re still poisoning your mind, and
I’m not simple enough.
I've said it
and you've re-read it,
if it's accepted, does that make it true?
Not to you, my dear.
To you my dear,
I go, awake to myself finally on my own
and I know our time meant something to you after all.
I've grown, it seems that you're still sitting on your own
just know, this message is for me and so I go
We are the only ones you need
And so, you go,
never alone, never alone.
And so, you go, with someone to call all your own.
And so you go,
never alone, never alone.
You'll never allow for time alone
but you'll always be by yourself.

This isn't where I should be.
My conscience catching back up to me,
annoyed; devoid of emotion for you
and all the stupid games
I’ve beaten,
and grown out,
am now sick of playing.
Watch what you say to me,
(Brainwasher).
You don’t know anything.
I’ll rewrite everything,
(Brainwasher).
Making up history.
I’m poisoned
by the food you made for me.
Such a necessity
to get out while I can.
I’m drifting
in and out repeatedly.
Are we where we’re supposed to be?
Isn’t this romantic.
I’ve coughed up, more skin and bones again,
While you’re out with a friend,
such a dizzy dancer.
Watch what you say to me,
Brainwasher,
you might untrick me.
Watch what you say to me
‘cause I’ll trust you.
You’ll undo everything, every thing.
