Not About You

It’s not about just you or about me either
Let’s think this through, yeah
We’re gonna get outta here when we
Listen to our voice of reason
It is in you, I know I’ve seen it before
I know I’ve seen it before
I don’t understand why you think we can
Go about this love without the stops and starts
We’re not in the clear ‘til this disappears
Gotta work for what we wanted
Gotta burn what we don’t need
It’s time to face the truth and I hope you’ll listen
‘Cause we will fall through if we don’t get back on top of
Trying to see each perspective
Love alone won’t fix you
You have to want me for more
I don’t understand why you think we can
Go about this love without the stops and starts
We’re not in the clear ‘til this disappears
Gotta work for what we wanted
Gotta burn what we don’t need
Draw lines in the sand and point your hand
A direction we should follow from these charts
We will not repeat and maybe we’ll beat a new path
And find a new way
You and I, we can create
You know we’ve been here before,
And we’ll be here again
I don’t understand why you think we can
Go about this love without the stops and starts
We’re not in the clear ‘til this disappears
Gotta work for what we wanted
Gotta burn what we don’t need
Draw lines in the sand and point with your hand
Find the vantage at the peak and move on
We will not repeat and maybe we’ll beat a new path
And find a new way
You and I we can create

A Great Deal
05:36

You’ve been compensated in attention
It’s piled on your plate, no hope to finish
I’m looking over details you don’t mention
But clearly you just want them to diminish
You don’t want to think through twice
But keeping your complacency comes with a price
You have started war without incentive
Fighting for the failing with no defense
There’s echo chambers filled with no one listening
They’re howling out in anger so egregious
You don’t want to think through twice
But keeping your complacency comes with a price
And I’ve learned a great deal from this
The broken teachers have kindled flames of nonsense
I’ve been so meaninglessly open to blatant disdain
For the way that I like to create
Forget the pleasantries and greetings, I’m over the brink
You will never claim me
You have elevated your persistence
Moving towards a world without volition
There can be a plain of coexistence
You cannot destroy definitions
You don’t want to think through twice
But keeping your complacency comes with a price
And I’ve learned a great deal from this
The broken teachers have kindled flames of nonsense
I’ve been so meaninglessly open to blatant disdain
For the way that I like to create
Forget the pleasantries and greetings, I’m over the brink
You will never claim me
I’ve learned a great deal from this
The broken teachers have kindled flames of nonsense
I’ve been so meaninglessly open to blatant disdain
For the way that I like to create
Forget the pleasantries and greetings, I’m over the brink
I’ve been so meaninglessly open to blatant disdain
For the way that I like to create
Forget the pleasantries and greetings, I’m over the brink
You will never claim me.

I can see the outcome before you play your hand
Reading you is simple, it’s not hard to understand
We have picked our targets
Who will hit the hardest?
We’ve chosen sides and I know that you’re fighting exposed
Pretending to understand hand-to-hand
You’re speaking nonsense, stemming from the seeds of emotion
From every word you grow
There is no outcome, there is nothing to be rewarded
Or gained from contempt of civility
I’ve had enough and I feel you coming closer
With words so frightening
What’s left to say?
You’re a vacancy I will not cater to
And I feel my patient capacity crumble
Because of you.
I see your face, my foe approaching
Lick your lips, your grin encroaching
I only want to see your teeth if they are broken.
I only want to see your teeth if they’re broken.

I do my best with these distracting views
They’re only there to take my thoughts off you
I search reality for fantasy
I can’t create, I can’t think
Without wishing
I find myself enamored with this place
It is as real as I can ever fake
It doesn’t matter if I’m out of tune
With my own senses
They seek out the mystery
Hidden face, I thought I could find you
Hiding in the open space
Rooting out, killing in-betweens
I don’t want to lose my way
Retrace, gliding over footsteps
Listening for leaves to shake
Fool me now, and it falls on me
Give me substance, I tread fire, I’ll dive in the wake
Is that you in the distance just beyond my reach?
Am I really seeing truth or am I seeing faith?
Looking for consensus, I do not think they meet
But isn’t that the point of dreams?
Tell me you’ll always be the same
There’s nothing like you in my memory
I don’t want to have to cut away
It isn’t right without the feeling
I’m burning out on this infectious dream
I have to question its validity
It’s failing me piece after missing piece
Its potency vanishing from my intrigue
But I still feel my ego throb and ache
I wish that boredom never took its shape
Regret is closing in, it’s growing near
I can’t look back.

This world begs for honesty
In droves we paint our faces
Internally we hide our fears
Combined we dictate by our eternity
I feel like I’m the last one to get it
It never mattered before but now I see
Looking eyes
I feel it wrap around my body
It’s one-on-one with you in the deep
With every shot that I make it comes right back
Intending my defeat
Manifest the anger, manifest the insecurity
Shining ever outward, blinding others just so I can see
Make demands on paper, make demands that we will never meet
History is vapor, dissipating from the sudden heat
Blood on my teeth, take their tongues and their wishes
I wrap them up as certainty
Take out their feet, put an end to their mission
This world is mine to keep
Suddenly I feel the words lose their meaning
I cannot control their use
Crashing from my own shallow compensation
I have found a deeper truth
What’s left to say? There’s a vacancy I will not cater to
Not to control, not to make a case, not to incite my view
A sense of guilt floats inside of me over this hidden review
I feel complete transparency, I feel something that’s new
This world is mine.

History has not been revealing for all of us
War after war we keep fighting to be overrun
Stripped of your life and your meaning, you choose to hide away
As you descend into slumber, I hope you’ll return someday the same
But time will betray us, it seems to be the way
I’m so sorry we’re finding this place as it is
We see what pretending can harbor in the end
I feel weightless finding this fate on my own
But fear led to hate that buried you away
I hope you’re alive, but I don’t think waiting will be my device
Time is out, and I need you now.
I find myself crossing our borders to claim our mistakes
From the words within the broken cage
Have we become my obscenity from under the fractured sky
What have we learned?
I’m so sorry we’re finding this place as it is
We see what pretending can harbor in the end
I feel weightless finding this fate on my own
But fear led to hate that buried you away
I hope you’re alive, but I don’t think waiting will be my device
Time is out
Time is out
Time is out
Time is out.
Your rage is unchecked
It’s hard to see straight through you, the glimmer in your eyes isn't clear
The more of you I see I’m failing to believe you are here
Your motive, deceptive
Your memory, rejected
You left to contemplate but you returned infected
Time awakened hatred, fired on the only hope alive
Though they cannot fight
The warrier, ejected
The mantle, abandoned
You turned your weapon the lives we protected
And I am your witness
I see their bodies twisting in the light
Writhing as they die
All is gone
The partner I loved, the god that we worshipped
All is gone
Oh, you killed my children.

The Crawl
03:56

I haven’t dreamed in years, futures were diverted
This ringing in my ears driving home the verdict
My life came to a crossroads, an instance of decision
I never gave a thought to losing everything to the crawl.
Bereft of meaning
The semblance of hope fades away
So self-defeating, I give into the mundane
I find myself gazing into grain and wine
On this fine thick cut of pine
I feel silence claim my weary mind
This is where I’m left behind
The game has long been lost, prospects are deserted
Continue with the cost, money is no burden
It loses weight when I am swimming in dependence
Bring me up while I am ever slowing down to the crawl
Bereft of meaning
The semblance of hope fades away
So self-defeating, I give into the mundane
I find myself gazing into grain and wine
On this fine thick cut of pine
I feel silence claim my weary mind
This is where I’m left behind
This is where I’m left behind
This is where I’m left behind.
