People like you always lose.
So were you taught from a young age
To “argue, but obey”?
Find joy in misery?
But now as you wallow in hate
You’ll be perpetually enslaved
Your only joy in others’ pain
Maybe it was just the rain?
That turned you into this monster
Soon you’ll learn
In the long run you lose.
I struggle to sympathize
With one so dead behind the eyes
I’d feel sorry if I could
But you consider yourself so good
Whilst the bastards march on past
Singing misogyny that’ll last a thousand years
And you whistle along
Cowering behind jargon
The time for words was long ago
It took a second but now I know
(I can’t wait to never hear your voice again)
But then again, talk is cheap
And we all know you’re a miser
I’ve wasted hours trying to get through to you
But you’ve convinced yourself you know the truth
(If you did, you’d shut the fuck up)
So save it man-
Your words don’t mean shit, and neither do you.
It makes me frightened for this world
That if your master plan unfurled
You’d leave the fat cats on their thrones
And take the spoils for your own
You’re lying to yourself behind the backs of everyone else
And I can’t wait until they learn just what you are
Soon you’ll learn
In the long run you lose.
The time for words was long ago
It took a second but now I know
(I can’t wait to never hear your voice again)
But then again, talk is cheap
And we all know you’re a miser
I’ve wasted hours trying to get through to you
But you’ve convinced yourself you know the truth
(If you did, you’d shut the fuck up)
So save it man-
Your words don’t mean shit, and neither do you.
It took three years to cut you out of my life
And, god knows, it’s been hard
To learn that I want to be the fucking opposite
Of the cancer that you are- I hope you know
I hope you know
You’re gunna die alone
You’ll reap the failure
Of all the rotten seed you’ve sown
In everything you’ve laid a finger on.

Well what a picture I have painted here
Is my mind that simple?
Why not address the data…
Maybe I’m just frightened that all the other stories are just as big as mine?
A shark crept into my personality
Wearing a swagger and a smile
That told me that it knows the things
That go on in lives within and without
And I believed it could
Heed this warning- systems failing
This cataclysm is prevailing
Save all you know before it goes down
In this ship that was born to drown
I drank my way through eleven weeks
In the company of mindless pleasantries and semi-enemies
And all my friends that were my friends when I was drunk-
I didn’t know them when I was sober
Heed this warning- systems failing
This cataclysm is prevailing
Save all you know before it goes down
In this ship that was born to drown
If it’s me against the world
Well, I just, I don’t know who’s going to win
If I don’t god damn try
Right here, right now
That just won’t solve anything…
Cut!
Stop looking at me that way
As if you’ve got something to say
When all you do is bite your tongue
From here on in we are undone
So here I am, back at square one
Chewing on the shots I missed
Whilst I was trying my very damnedest
To be anyone but me…
Anyone but me.
Heed this warning- systems failing
This cataclysm is prevailing
Save all you know before it goes down
In this ship that was born to drown
If it’s me against the world
Well, I just, I don’t know who’s going to win
But every god damn time I lie to myself
I come to hate everything
No more!
It will be us against the world
And, I just, I don’t know who’s going to win
But if we don’t god damn try
Right here, right now
That just won’t solve anything
Be humble, for you are made of earth
Be noble, for you are made of stars
I’ll put those words in a handful of dirt
Let fingers fall, and wind carry them far

Infinity

I.
I- I can’t try to, try to explain it
The sky is seeping out of my pores
The world appears in a new form
No beginning, ending, after, or before
So don’t try stop me if I keep talking
There’s just too many words I must say
And I don’t know where- where we’re going
But this force is like the dawning of a day
Under the stars we became one and all
Ear to the ground hear Earth’s answer to bard’s call
So come on up
To infinity on the top floor
Where maybe you might find
That, in time
We could be comrades, you and I
Sorry, darling, there’s just no way
No way we could possibly stay
Under the stars we became one and all
Ear to the ground hear Earth’s answer to bard’s call
II.
Take it back, take it all back
To times when we ran freely
Through the low lying fog as we breathed in the sky
We were gods, you and I, and we had gods by our sides
But the world has grown much wider for us
And now I nurse old wounds for fear of
A decay that haunts memories, it rolls in with the tides
We were gods, you and I, and we had god by our sides
III.
“There’s a gaping hole between the sofa and the table”
She said with a drop of fear and she closed her eyes in laughter
You were not weak for letting go
You were strong for holding on so long
Down amongst the waves that rend asunder
I can hear laughter no longer
The haar’s too thick, too sombre
And I’m circling this forgotten town trying to find an inch of solid ground
You were not weak for letting go
You were strong for holding on so long
In that icy sea that almost got it’s teeth into me
Till the end of our days
There’s a debt we’ll never pay
But I can fly through the times…
Don’t fear for a moment
You know we can always go back there
Anytime, anywhere
Because infinity is within you and me
