The Sea Grave
03:56
|
|||
Waiting for sight of a ship on the horizon
Distractions from this day mundane
To see them navigate the islands
Watch them on their lonely way
Chorus
We sit here forever
We stare at the sea
This is our time
This is how we'll always be
Talk of the wreck as always
Remembering the noble drowned
A lighthouse too far to guide them
And rocks too close to spare their bones
Sinews twisted
And hope resisted
Never seized the day
The depths received them
When none could free them
Gathered to their grave

The Indian Proverb

I look at them
They look into me
Attachment so strong
My possessions own me
Chorus
Life is a bridge
Cross over it
Life is a bridge
Build no houses on it
I covet for its own sake
I crown 'desire' king
My soul could be so pure
Instead my greed is everything
Amounting wealth
Through daily daggers
To have, to hold, to dream
Amounting wealth
Through daily daggers
A lust for shiny things it seems

The Second Definition

No it won't be easy
Living forever
Everyone you know will die
Or their faces turn like leather
Chorus
A better man, a better man, a better man
Might roll back his eyes
A better man, a better man, a better man
Might roll back his eyes
And die within, and die within, and die
Die within his shell
And die within, and die within, and die
Die within his shell
You'll become tedious
Your stories too well known
Their ignorance your torture
Your heart will weigh like stone
I transcended your morality
As my pain went unheard
The world gets the version
Of me it deserves
You'll flood their cities
And scorch their lands
You'll demand their faith
When their fate rests in your hands
A better man, a better man, a better man (repeat)
Might hide his hell so others might be well

The Evaporation
04:16
|
|||
Rain is dripping from the light
I'm asleep, I'm alright
I'm writing down my thoughts
In splendid dereliction
Chorus
Falling fuzzy through night
All confused and yielding to regret
They of the dream leave you to fend
For your meaning, your death until the dream's end
The vision once solid and wise
Cannot pass with you to morning
In mourning now, all vagueness and blur
Wispy hollow remnants of perfect words
Your forgotten words
On the tip of your brain
Hint at, allude to
Epiphany

The Burden
04:46
|
|||
You are not the vessel of all acceptance
On the horizon of best intentions
Harvesting my guilt to soothe your pain
Lashing out to keep you sane.
Chorus
Nothing but obligation
We are bonded by blood
There is no love between us
Resentment makes its home
We grow old as strangers now
Once you knew my deepest thoughts
If I could find a way, this tie to sever
Forever I'd embrace the freedom sought
From your view point
You see the truth sharp and clear
I've grown to see a world through
The lens of distrust and fear

The Circle
04:13
|
|||
The sorrow of a life less ordinary
To lose hope is a dangerous thing
In a world determined to crush you
How can you rest, how can you breath
Chorus
Just give me a sign you know me
A tell that shows you know who I am
Show me their lies have fallen around you
Let the circle smile on our plan
Kindness a luxury I can't afford
I occupy a world much different from yours
Anoint their food, anoint the plebeian
Their loins can never bare gifts again
Your thoughts are crass and lucid
You shame the many other spheres
You build your nation blindly
Moulded from all garish fears
