rn
The breath inhaling the fumes
This temporary flame dances to a different tune

When you come to point your finger, you'll find three are pointing back
Can you taste the end?

2. I Love Turbulence

An ideal existence, discovering a book perfectly written
Minds go: this cycle must continue
Legs are chained to the pedals

Elastic has to give at some point
Expand, contract, decrease contact
When the smallest things trigger grave danger, grave digger

This presets a lie
Will insides decide to grow up and not give in?

3. Fofteen

When do you think the search is over?

Confusion kissed me on the cheek, and left a taste so bittersweet
Unsure where I've been, the distance, it blisters
Locked up with the villain

(Time is worthless, time is worthless) When... hearts
(Time is worthless, time is worthless) When... hands

Mindless wanders searching for answers
Riddled with guilt for sins not yet committed

(Time is worthless) When hearts are magnets
(Time is worthless) When hands are magnets
(Time is worthless) When hearts are magnets
(Time is worthless) When hands are magnets
(Time is worthless) When hearts are magnets
(Time is worthless) When hands are magnets
(Time is worthless) When hearts are...
(Time is worthless) When hands are...

4. Abraxas

Enter: fragments, cast offs, one offs
Exposed from your everyday life

Intelligence arose from every striking pose
And oh, I know they like the fragility of handmade
There's a sense of decay as they control
Some burn, some melt

Until significance, a cruel awakening as irrelevant as honesty

Wake up, realise, disappear

6. Nine

Obey the trap
Alternatives expect affliction
Actions hold no meaning
Hold on motive
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on .

Concentrate on consciences trace circles
And words break whats not already broken
Tessellating to the pattern with the other puzzled pieces
Don't you delve into something unknown
Everybody wants
A hand to hold,
I am holding out my hand,
We are holding out out hands,
(Holding out hands) holding in everything else
Encore, encore what for?

Everybody wants a hand to hold,
I am holding out my hand,
We are holding out out hands,
(Holding out hands) holding in everything else

7. Macabre Charade

Timidly approach the wolf,
Wondering about the necessities and the variables
For this procedure,
There lies mischief in his eyes,
Tomorrow or compromise,
Sketched out relentless frames of mind,
Untouched by consideration but floored by the drawback,
Cement is cracking around what was once secure.

Make the difference through distance
Fall and never hit the ground
Tormented in a full house
I'll try not to make this hard
You'll try not to make this heard

Elaborate the escape,
Feathers spat on the floor

8. Trojan Measures

And I'm judged on sleepless nights
That never happened.
The lengths we go to to feel alive
Stealing fun from the horses mouth
A constant argument that warrants tragedy

I am mistakes
I am not regrets

10. Scabs

You end
Where I begin
Covered in lovers,
Vainly chasing butterflies.

I've confused stars, scars, scabs, and everything.
My cloud of smoke (another choke),
A pretentious in joke

Grey veins have crawled across our sky
So cut me loose and deal me out.

11. Fantasia

It started with a stop
There is no road back
These needles pricking skins
How thick is yours?
Red ink spilt across my palms
Drenched in the toxins, the talent, The tantrums.
Trying to vanish the vision of the rarest of them all
Through faulting and twisting
Precious perceptions withdraw
Your grasp from me

Sliding out of my grip into another's missing piece,
Bitterness and venom shoot from my jaw,
I wish it would sink into something more awful
Softly blowing on the backs of necks
The words are trickling down spines;
'As good as gold but still disposed'
Helpless as the victim and the villain
A slapped wrist for thoughtless dilemmas,
Denied of a pardon for this ordeal
The sickening blow is punishment enough
Ripped flesh pasted onto something uncontrollable,
Hideous and ugly
A taste of loyalty

Calm down

I'm calmed down,
Its keeping me grounded,

There was no risk assessment,
I was wide eyed at foreign things
Ignoring the choices for fear of the chance
Clean your ears so you can hear what I'm listening to;
Craves of my aesthetic will guide me tonight
But its making me weak
Leave it alone
Leave us alone
Let's branch up and rise
What are the words i was supposed to have written?
As good as gold but still disposed
Faithful and Faithless
Crawl back to phase one
I'll let myself out gracefully
I can not keep but smile
I'm fading out
