RIOT.SHEET

Shall we riot in the streets
Party in our sheets
Protest the unique
Worship our physique?
Or should we drop to our knees
Look death in the eye
And choose to keep on running?
Shall we cry ourselves to sleep
Surface from the deep
Filter out the weak
Strike the other cheek?
Or should we drop to our knees
Look death in the eye
And choose to keep on running?
Did you kill to earn a spot on the globe?
Did you snag a shooting star?
If the space dust fits neatly in your hands
Then enjoy, this life's all yours
Shall we learn to love the taste
Of dirty bathroom floors?
The moment's not a waste
When we can feel no more
(As for me)
I'm gonna drop to my knees
Look death in the eye
And choose to keep on running
Did you kill to earn a spot on the globe?
Did you snag the shooting stars
If the space dust fits neatly in your hands
Then enjoy, this life's all yours
And when that final question comes
May my answer be to run.

The Day I Looked Away
06:36
|
|||
Caught between the competition
To be a man rejected
Yet worshiped and sedated
I chose to fade away
The fame was always louder
In chambers of my mind
Than cheers that were given
By any friend, lover (of life)
I found a world with no room
I found a home with no doors
I found a man with no eyes
I found a world with no room
I found a home with no doors
I found a man with no eyes
I killed a worthless life
Maybe someday I'll break through
Catch a glimpse of light eternal
I pound my fists against the wall
No surprises, hear nothing at all
If only I knew I was getting closer
Shredding skin off the bone
For every inch clawed off this wall
Maybe someday I'll break through
I found a world with no room
I found a home with no doors
I found a man with no eyes
I found a world with no room
I found a home with no doors
I found a man with no eyes
I killed a worthless life
Maybe someday I'll break through
Catch a glimpse of light eternal
Maybe someday I'll break through
Catch a glimpse of light eternal
(and i knew should i look away the way would be opened unto me)
Is there a price I must pay for the day I looked away?
Maybe someday I'll break through
Catch a glimpse of light eternal
I looked away and I broke through
Became one with Life Eternal

i am nobody

i am nobody
i have no Soul
left it behind me
now who's in control
love everybody
but most importantly, i love myself
i
love
myself
i am nobody
i am so lovely
that's what i've heard
i'll turn your life around
you have my word
would you like to be lovely?
i am nobody
i had a taste of Freedom
but it couldn't satisfy
this longing, fascination
with the part of me that caught my eye
I put my faith in reason
The reason for my guilty mind
Now i'm infatuated
With being blind.
i am nobody.

Dear Distance
07:04
|

Tomorrow's your birthday
I'll fall asleep to the scent of roses that I would've bought you
If you were still mine
Today is your birthday
You'll spend your morning hanging banners to cover the place
Where our lights used to hang
The way we cried
The way I begged to stay right by your side
Oh, how frail a promise
I lost you when our future died
I hope you found the distance you were looking for
I hope you found the silence you were dreaming of
I hope your heart is broken just the same as mine
I hope that you're not happier without me
It was your birthday
Your friends' voices echo in your memory
Cause they weren't invited
Did you stop to think
Why?
The way we cried
The way I begged to stay right by your side
Oh, how frail a promise
I lost you when our future died
I hope you found the distance you were looking for
I hope you found the silence you were dreaming of
I hope your heart is broken just the same as mine
I hope that you're not happier without me
I hope you found the distance you were looking for
I hope you found the silence you were dreaming of
I hope your heart is broken just the same as mine
I hope that you're not happier without me
Now I know you're happier
Without me.
