Veils
First the ceiling now the floor
Took Flight while the fire crawls up the walls
Its fate to chase the living
In hoped that we like the ending
You fell instead of breathing
Choked up on all the pretending
Helplessness can be self-serving
You like the gag for your screamin
Your head turn, feet stand still
Dreams don't always have some lesson
Subconscious loves its deceiving
You're still walking, just keep walking
Hands are open for the retrieval
You’d kill to do the killing
Always kiss your foes before leaving
Those small holes are always growing
But there is light in their greeting
Where did you go? Breaking the circle
Eyes felt so small, until you broke off their frame
How did it feel? Breaking the circle
How did it feel? Peeling off the veil? (what did you mean? Breaking the circle)

Scapegoat
Where is the scapegoat if there’s no one left free
Lower half has taken to the seas
Chain linked fences, ripped at their seams
I’m sorry you’re not fine, friendliest enemy
I’m wanting to break it
Woman swallowed up woman
Woman fought for woman
If blood is thicker than the water we drink
Why do the veins need so much reprieve
Forgiveness, resilience, is not what it used to be
Staring at the pictures, painted with the weight we bring
I’m wanting to break it
Woman swallowed up woman
Woman fought for woman
Im wanting to break it

Pendulum
Are you losing control? I found a crack in my sun
And you’re losing all, lost all your control
I don’t have any control
Do you have any money? I’ve felt weak without money
And you’re counting all and proving all your money
I don’t have any money
Can I justify my means, if my means mean my end?
Does the fear win, does the fear win it all?
I won’t let fear be my meaning
I am a pendulum, can’t stray from where i'm from
I am a pendulum, and i'm up and i’m up when you’re down
Are you losing control? I found a crack in my sun
And you’re losing all, lost all your control
I never had any control
I am a pendulum, can’t stray from where i'm from
I am a pendulum, and i'm up and i’m up when you’re down

Black Hole
Wrap me into the cold, I say it reminds me of home
But the callouses only work if you have something to hold
Ha ha it lingers on
It’s not an imbalance, I just can’t balance the weight
Same familiar place, the room is spinning again
I’ll just lay on the floor, waiting to feel a little more
Ha ha it lingers on
It’s not an imbalance, I just can’t balance the weight
Ha ha it lingers on

Pillars
Perennial pillars are staring back at me
Asking me where do I stand? And what is it I need?
Not who I am, but what do I demand?
The center shakes, the swinging bells falls
What can you hold?
You’re not mine, I am yours
Great expectations were wrong
Forgot I was alone, the shadows pace and sway
Keepsakes keep closely, when only your eyes see
Though time has moved on, it’s hands reach back for more
It’s ringing calls as the swinging bell falls
What can you hold?
You’re not mine, I am yours
Great expectations were wrong
“We must never be ashamed of our tears.”

Stripped the Screw

Stripped the Screw
I fought proudly, I fought nasty
Never makes mistakes I promised
Nature gauged my own predictions
Wide-eyed saying that I liked it
Working towards a swollen vision
Is this real or what was promised
Molded clay to fit the framework
I call bullshit on such prophets
I stripped the screw
Thought i could find some room
I stripped the screw
Are you sleeping, carrying ten-thousand pounds
Oh my dear you with you were dreaming
Got caught up in finding some meaning
Didn’t ask for what was given
Found my voice by tying my own strings
Pennance hardly was your doing
So I cut the cord between the good and bad things
I stripped the screw
Thought i could find some room
I stripped the screw
Thought i could find some room
Are you sleeping, carrying ten-thousand pounds
