waiting for someone to let you in waiting for the sun to break the dim fucked up you’re so blitzed precious sanity scattered into bits screwed up so used until you’re black and blue and broken and abused this is the new abnormal shake hands with ashen mist these days are never ending from the back of the waiting list this is the new abnormal every page has another twist knee deep in paranormal every screen is a hypNOtist waiting for your mind to take a leap waiting for the night to bring you sleep big shot you kill time there’s something itching at the bottom of your mind fat chance thin ICE double down and then you better think twice this is the new abnormal shake hands with ashen mist these days are never ending from the back of the waiting list this is the new abnormal every page has another TWIST knee deep in paranormal every screen is a hypnotist

looking into an optical illusion back from the dead to inspire such delusion I turned around to start a revolution to fake a problem avoid a real solution Flying in my head like a bird of prey Sweep into a town like a superhighway when friendly fire turns into a fray I made a fortress out of paper mâché I found a way to alleviate confusion I close my mind to shut out the noise pollution spend my time at the institution I’m on the verge of a life of prostitution Flying in my head like a bird of prey Sweep into a town like a SUPERhighway when friendly fire turns into a fray I made a fortress out of paper mâché Flying in my head like a bird of prey SWEEP into a town like a superhighway when friendly fire turns into a fray I made a fortress out of paper mâché

there is a line in a perfect shape drawn between the two of us there is a space in an endless void that I would cross to be with you if you could read my thoughts you might connect the dots if I could find a way I would come out and say I love you there is a time in a perfect life for you to leave and say good bye if you could HOLD my hand walk with me in the sand if you could read my mind I think that you would find I love you if you could read my thoughts you might connect the dots if I could find a way I would come out and say I love you if you could hold my hand walk with me in the sand if you could read my mind I think that you would find I LOVE you

I turned on the evening news cuz I didn’t want to hear the truth numbers are rising fast how on earth will I ever last? everything is gonna change nothing will remain the same I don’t want to leave you alone but they’re telling me I have to go everyone is gonna change no one will remain the same if there’s anybody left I ran down an empty street dreams broken at my feet I’m sorry but I had to ask it’s hard to tell behind your MASK everything is gonna change nothing will remain the same I don’t know the reason why but they’re telling me you have to die everyone is gonna change no one will remain the same if there’s anybody left everything is gonna change nothing will remain the same I don’t want to leave you ALONE but they’re telling me I’ve got to go everyone is gonna change no one will remain the same if there’s anybody left

last week was a rough year lock down in the same place no one knows you’re scowling with a cover on half your face there’s a killer on a rampage headlong on a murder binge caught up in the outrage you must be coming unhinged last week was a rough year stark mad in a lock down no light at the end of the tunnel no breathing underground last week was a rough year last week was the toughest of years yesterday was a rough month upstream in a river of tears there’s a killer on the bikeway headlong over handle bars knife out for a quick slash deep cuts and a million scars last week was a rough year chained up in a lock down you won’t ever stop fighting back until you’re UNDERground last week was a rough year last week was the roughest of years last week was a rough year upstream in a river of tears last week was a rough year last week was a rough year last week was a rough year upstream in a RIVER of tears

so cold 03:55
I find it hard to sleep now with spirals in my mind gasping for a final breath lights flash before my eyes frost on the window blind in the snow you reach out to touch me you make me feel so so so so COLD trapped inside these four walls talking to myself quite the captive audience pictures on the shelf DUST on the window blind in the snow you reach out to touch me you make me feel so so so so COLD you make me feel cold you make me feel cold you know you make me feel COLD

blinking like an outage have you any feeling left? other than despair? is this really better than death? fly into darkness at the speed of light fall into sunset at the drop of night destination underground at the cemetery LOST and found god is yelling at me in a language I don’t understand fly into darkness at the speed of light fall into sunset at the drop of night fly into darkness at the speed of light fall into sunset at the drop of night fly into darkness at the speed of light fall into sunset at the DROP of night

downslope 04:49
I used to have a life as a haberdasher I spent my evenings as a vapid party crasher and now the store is closed the jackets gather dust we all got sick inside pauper to the upper crust DOWNslope we fought the good fight with a broken microscope DOWNslope we ran uphill and now we’re running out of hope. I used to spend the day fretting over sizes but now a microscopic storm slowly rises I can’t take anymore anymore of this I need you in my arms I need your lips to kiss DOWNslope we fought the good fight with a broken microscope DOWNslope who took the safety net from below the tightrope?

I’m looking for a signal that everything is gonna change stuck inside a dream where my vision is so deRANGed no one has an answer I don’t know where the problem lies so I am reaching out to you to see if we can harmonize I want you to save me I want you to save me I want you to kill the pain help me to live again I want you to save me please save me standing at the counter of the cemetery lost and found but service goes missing when the help is underGROUND I want you to save me I want you to save me I want you to kill the pain help me to breathe again I want you to save me please save me I want you to save me I want you to save me I want you to kill the pain help me to LIVE again I want you to save me please save me
