I can’t feel this movement
But I can see it in your eyes
Just enough to understand it
But never to comply
Tied to my feet, tethered to my soul
I’m showing face, but I am so cold
There’s something in the ground beneath our feet
There’s something in the air

We can live like this
To try and pass it on
To see just how impossible
This could be
I think there’s a chance we can run
I think there’s a chance we can get away
From these anniversaries
Stain these pages
Traverse across the years
Traverse the ages
These anniversaries
Stain these pages
Traverse across the years
Traverse the ages
Overwrite the marks
To try and try and try
To overcome the scars
Repetition brings
I think there’s a chance we can run
I think there’s a chance we can get away
From these anniversaries
Stain these pages
Traverse across the years
Traverse the ages
These anniversaries
Stain these pages
Traverse across the years
Traverse the ages
These anniversaries
Plague these pages
This is finite but we are…
Overstaying our welcome, our welcome here
This is finite but we are…
Overstating our purpose, our purpose here
This is finite but we are…
Overstaying our welcome, our welcome here
This is finite but we are…
Overstating our purpose here

Smiling
Wretched eyelids hiding
Trauma, mask despair
From the fickle cords within your throat
This carpet like gravel
This consequential voice in our heads
Passed down through generations
And generations to come
Your mouthpiece drip feeds you all
Piece by piece your head will roll
Held together by a thread
Held together by a sinew thread
Pulling the strings
Pushing limits
I’m warning you now
You can’t stop this
There’s a dread on your own in the dark
In the middle of the night
It sounds false but it follows you everywhere
Take broken pieces of an otherwise perfect home
More often than not it’s illusional
Hanging
By a
Sinew
Hanging by a single sinew thread
Pulling the strings
Pushing limits
I’m warning you now
You can’t stop this
Save yourself
The trouble, the guilt
Brave yourself
Embrace yourself

I pick my own pockets
To check weak pulses
Expand these bad habits
If I don’t see progress
My mind is a cult
Every motion I swallow emotions
I’m following pride
I’m following pride
They say it’s all inside your head
But this mind sees everything
In every word I’ve read
Collapse in on myself
Knocking crutches
I’m shattering temples
I’m scared in the daylight
My mind isn’t cold
Every motion I follow emotion
I’m following pride
I’m following pride
They say it’s all inside your head
But this mind sees everything
In every word I’ve
People with distorted faces
Shadows falling down the stairs
It used to show me hope
People with distorted faces
Shadows falling down the stairs
But now it makes me sick
They say it’s all inside your head
But this mind sees everything
In every word I’ve read
They say it’s all inside your head
But this mind sees everything
I can see everything

Displacement
In solitude
Arrangement
In plain view
Come closer to my side
Where the air reeks as prophecised
Compare
Why don’t you see for yourself?
This displacement
In servitude
The ailment
In the crops we grew
You’re summer
From a distance
Uncomfortable at an arm's length
Compare
Why don’t you look for yourself?
Despair
Why don’t you see for yourself?
You say
Why don’t you seem like yourself?
And I smile as I cry
Why don’t I feel like myself?
I don’t feel like me
And you say
Why don’t you seem like yourself?
And I smile
The red
The great unknown
The black
The cold alone
The red your eyes see when closed
Represents
Great unknown
The black your eyes see when closed
Shrouds you in, cold alone
You say
Why don’t you seem like yourself?
And I smile as I cry
Why don’t I feel like myself?
I don’t feel like me
And you say
Why don’t you seem like yourself?
And I smile
This displacement
In solitude
This arrangement
In plain view
In plain view

Am I bigger than the sum of my surroundings?
Or does this define me?
I am now encouraging the fallout of this
To be brought on swiftly
I am yours
Consistency
Control
Control
The pedestal you stand on slowly crushed into my shoulders
It pushed its way into my spine now I can barely
Stand
This will never break you this will only leave a void
Filled only to be ripped out again in time
I am your consistency
I am your control
I am yours
Consistency
Control
Control
We can survive
But not like this
We are alive
We don’t quite fit
Because we are cystic in nature
Ever growing
Ever throbbing
We are thriving
We are writhing
I am your consistency
I am your control
I am yours
Consistency
Control
Control

A Burst Of Three

When you catch your breath
Explain
Explain yourself
When you catch yourself out
Explain your motive clearly
To me
I could not tell
Your entrance was a wound
Until it came out from my spine
You’ve known me
At the best and worse
Neither seems to phase you
The middle was just an error
Confusion
I could not tell
Your entrance was a wound
Until you start to phase me out
Slowly phase me out
Mean no harm but miss the mark
I was a glutton
You couldn’t even muster
A single measly bite
You’ve known me
At the best and worst
Neither seems to phase you
The middle was just an error
Confusion
I could not tell
Your entrance was a wound
Until you start to phase me out
Slowly phase me out
Mean no harm but miss the mark
I was a glutton
You couldn’t even muster
A single measly bite
All that I cared for
I forced it down your gullet
You spit it all back up in spite
Of yourself
Of your indecisive nature
Your necessity to seek respite
You are stuck in your self righteous
Indecisive nature
Your necessity to seek respite
Your injuries appearing lesser
When you catch your breath
Explain this motive to me clearly
You are wasting all your power
On the thought process involved in
Keeping you

A New Pair Of I's

I am coated in open wounds
But these scars are
Born of complacency but not intention
And so it may seem
We couldn’t bury this all at the depth of our seams
So it will come to pass
So it will come to pass
With a...
TASTE
SOUND
Let it all go
Out
Let it all come to the surface and hit you in stages
A taste
Smell
Sight
Sound
Let it all go
Out
Let it all come to the surface and hit you in stages
A TASTE
SMELL
SIGHT
SOUND
I am coated in open wounds
I am covered in open wounds
I am coated in open wounds
And I will hit you in stages
And so it may seem
We couldn’t bury this all at the depth of our seams
So it will come to pass
So it will come to pass

Witness
Passerby
Vacating the passages in my mind
Hindsight
Point of view
Presented in front of you
This might take some getting used to
This might take some crawling in the dark
This wretched worm
Finds its tail
Bringing this all
To an end
This wretched worm
Bites its tail
Bringing this all
Full circle
WItness
Passerby
Vacating the passages in my mind
Hindsight
Point of view
Presented in front of you
I feel what I see
This light it washes me
In a warmth unbeknown to body
Were you present?
Were you struggling?
Were you grasping rope to get along?
This wretched worm
Finds its tail
Bringing this all
To an end
This wretched worm
Bites its tail
Bringing this all full circle
Witness
Passerby
Vacating the passages in my mind
Hindsight
Point of view
Presented in front of you
All we have lost
In this pain
Will come again
Admire the view
And choose how to live
Felon
Sitting by the fire
Roasting on the flame
We are all the same
Villain
Watching from up higher
Arrogance untamed
We are all the same
We are not the same
I’ve been growing empathetic in my life
I’ve been far from copacetic in my time here
I’ve been growing empathetic in my life
I’ve been far from copacetic in my life here, time here
Witness
Passerby
Vacating the passages in my mind
Hindsight
Point of view
Presented in front of you
All we have lost
In this pain
Will come again
Admire the view
To choose how to live
This wretched worm
Finds its tail
Bringing this all
To an end
To an end
