The youngest son is raised he walks with a fire in his eyes and acquires certain taste I'm growing older with age turns out I'm ready to leave but a part of me will stay always yours it’s a shame how now we get along when I'm already gone I'm the haunting ghost I'm the old familiar feeling that you get when you are all alone [pray He lets me stay] when the walls seem ever so respiratory I'm telling stories to keep you at peace the mother of this skin I own is alone This phantom tomb this empty womb my sempiternal attitude towards you smiles from the attic and sneers from the basement [I’m lost] the tone is placebo no room for us here for replacement counteract we connect with the flickering of lights the overwhelming subtle sounds heard throughout the night I'm the haunting ghost I think we both know I’m better off on my own I’m growing older with age turns out that I'm the poison you found lying down without the antidote to keep me close so wipe your bloodshot eyes this world clipped my wings so you gave me yours to fly the youngest son is raised he walks with a fire in his eyes and acquires certain taste but a part of me will stay

Just sit tight and don’t talk you make me feel miserable but only in short intervals I'm thinking maybe you’re fine it's just hysteria taking its sweet time to heal so we can feel again under the mattress resides stains from tear ducts I've lost my train of thought brain damage from OCD is preventing my thoughts from here you know that I would rather be able to see crystal clear [for the both of us] I can't thank you enough for all the times my ugly thoughts creep up when sin and murder seem so cordial and I just can't keep up love I'm so fed up with watching us we love to interrupt we love to buck I'm sorry to say your alpha face is not enough to reconnect the rope of lust you cut shut me out then suck me in a battle of wits against your twin you always win think of it I'm desperate to beat it within to problem solve where it begins You asphyxiate my focus while the gods of love provoke us help me break this spell that they've cast down we can't mend or try to fix this when the odds are so against us crawling from this hell to higher ground The artist the dancer the actress enchanter they all had no answers they all were just cancer but along came this one now it's all a blur I can't forget her I tried so many times to clear my mind I just don't get her Jesus help me we sit quiet lay in silence then get violent wish I could speak softer-toned now let's turn this down to a three now In the parking lot of the hotel you scream the officer had asked for the keys and ID you accidentally left your weed right in the passenger seat so what did I do? I took it with me You asphyxiate my focus while the gods of love provoke us help me break this spell that they've cast down you can't mend or try to fix this when the odds are so against us crawling from this hell to higher ground Just sit tight and don't talk I used to feel miserable but now that you're gone I'm alright

Starving to reverse this bloom I live inside my head and I stay inside the bedroom body feels like a drone it does what it's told till the time my weary eyes close "You're not suppose to be home you’re young and full of life you should get out with your friends more" advice that I couldn’t take because I couldn't hear it said over noises that my head makes

Innerverse 04:52
I start to revisit the place you found me blocking out all the noise [unholy whereabouts] giving in; XIII sins approach me according to the memory I fail but I could never deny We're becoming well aware digesting this information [if it’s what you advise] eyes that stare right through us wide and bright a clinical chemical reconstruction of mind if it's what you advise If branches only stretch as far as seasons allow could I strip away the old leaves plant feet into the ground these roots won't run dry we let them overflow as if you and I knew where to go It’s in the way you shape your indifference I'll become the wind for you envelop and pursue this won’t enfold the way it used to [filling voids with senseless noise] I felt the marvelous patterns of wind as the siding bashed against the house and woke all of the residents I'm on the outside always on the outside so scared of what may be out there so I keep my foot between the door and frame door and frame; I refrain I can hear the others calling out my name XIII sins; I commit I walk in as if I never left the place Tempt me with my XIII sins and I’ll commit them quick at least I have the upright standing courage to admit it My imagination peaks I love the thought of it mind-knot tied taught to it might as well talk to it to see if it speaks Perception, perception it's all about perspective hold your thumb up to the stars and block thousands of dimensions but it’s been written in nature since first conceived to be bright and ritualistic to vibrantly fill all the gaps in between there's never an exception you must let yourself let go when we arrive inside our minds Arrive inside your mind The tide is rising can’t you feel it? don’t grip too tight I’m right by your side It’s in the way you shape your indifference I'll become the wind for you envelop and pursue this won’t enfold the way it used to

Sympathy is listening from the door here nodding in and out parachuting down I could pretend to care but where’s the fun in that the back and forth I will never rest; spirits left unattested The discord lives inside your home it hits when you are all alone when you sit down upon your throne the discord is your only tone This nail I pinch between my teeth a clear sign I might lean to leave the cringing pop of air to ear I shake my head and it disappears again fictitious thoughts resurface But coincidentally it reminds me of my temperance here There was a father once who spoke of his unborn son he preached so loud the worms could feel his words what would I have named you if I saw your face? would your mother change her mind if she looked into your eyes? I like to think that you would have been like me only a little more aware that love begins internally I will never rest; spirits left unattested for The discord lives inside your home it hits when you are all alone when you sit down upon your throne the discord is your only tone I’m not cut out for this and I don’t know If I’ll ever be cause I’m not ready steadfast ready but condemn me if I don’t try cause I’d rather suffer through I’d suffer through for you I’d suffer through I’d suffer through for you

Heliotropism 02:31
Staying fixated on pulling my weight I don't want to drag us all down may be confused but no longer afraid I know every king earns his crown this only works when I'm aiming straight I've learned to leave the failed attempts in their deserving place as arrows in the ground I’ve learned to leave the failed attempts in the ground We wear faith like costumes scared to fill our headroom too consumed in other's views when their only motive is to impress you I'm not impressed

You said you’d follow close but now you’re out of reach and I am not walking backwards nevertheless, I’m not afraid now seeing that this stem seems to grow and harness the only light found in the darkness there’s something beautiful about the times we learn to grow Despite the places we have been I never bit the feeding hand Bury ourselves in road maps find ourselves a destination worry ourselves to death with the voices in our heads they’re in our heads; these voices we’ll drown them out and follow through and find that steady glow for you nevertheless, if I’m being honest I’m running far from here What would you say if I gave one more reason to stay? “all the more reason to stay away from me” your thoughts seem to wear and tarnish every time you act so heartless reap what you sow you’re on your own now Despite the places we have been I never bit the feeding hand so why worry myself to death with the voices in our heads? they’re in our heads; these voices we’ll drown them out and follow through and find that steady glow for you nevertheless, if I’m being honest I’m running far from here You steal every part of me the love//the bliss//the sympathy your paradigms spread apathy upon these deafened ears these clocks like hell run endlessly into places of unpleasantry I shut down afar from here while you rebirth your precious years This stem seems to grow and harness the only light found in the darkness

Hide your face from the passerby inside you find it strange you seldom see it fit to greet them then with the stroke of lust you see no difference between them and us You’re an entity breathing with purpose and worth few among us attempt to see all of our beauty how I dismiss from my mind the vile ones around us What an act they put on for us they’re just lost little children inside their only hope to survive is tricking us into believing they’re God They are not God just subpar frauds Show me your guts little one will you retreat? accept your defeat? fight for what's right or continue to run? plant your feet firm in the ground no one respects a coward Then with the stroke of lust you see no difference between them and us Long live the kingdom and sacrifice your king long live the kingdom now sacrifice your king bring him to his knees and sacrifice your king bring him to his knees just to feel the glory I never liked this part only loved what it gave but it’s harder to tear apart then to mend what we’ve made We're all infected with the craving of being dark no, we can’t run I’d rather starve Plant your feet firm in the ground we’re going home now We lift our heads unearthing the truth to grow fostering this place that we will call home I'm not afraid to see where we will go we’re going home now
