Run with your posture Sit straight but slouch inside I'm not an imposter but truth gets me denied And so it's motionless It should be effortless I watch you hatch your plans and all your current schemes But I'll burn slow in my time I've tried but I just can't keep myself away I always turn straight back each and every day It's something in the air Electric wild blue I hear it everywhere and so I have to do Painting life with thought You and all your thoughts They're just second hand You sing a borrowed tune from your new found friends But I'm in a different key A stubborn dissonance And so you sell me out because you can't understand I can make myself

Shaking Sad 04:04
Shed a tear Mercury fears reflect and blind Metal brain Made that way by words not mine Motivate It's far too late in my day I have to say I've laid my plans in another place Will I ever climb out free? Choosing sounds to resolve my endless no's You tell me why with reasons for No cons just pros I weigh them up Investigate and report the scenes In my head this whole ordeal was more serene How will I ever get out free? Shaking sad you take my points and twist them black Fabricate with parts of truth and I can't come back So you walk and I'm left lame in a cast iron truce My only choice seems much too harsh that even I won't use When will we climb our way out free? How can we claw our way out free?
4.
Preaching to all Of your many ailments But the problems you have are of want not chance Because something derived from a true lack of luck Is not squashed when your circumstance needs it to pass So you sit with yourself and you wallow in pity There are worse off than yours You must learn to respect it I think you need a blow to the side of your head It might rattle your brain and supply some perspective
5.
Drudge 05:08
Bright bullet words with all I need Minus the fears Loaded into a gun of self doubt and aimed to my ears And my sleeping dreams were awoke by crashing noise A truth I don't wish to know but one for which I'm told to be poised When the sound had ceased The crutch was gone on which I'd leaned Nothing that we craved Just the things that appeared absent Life had run it's course Passed me by as I reached for safety My hand without me knowing That pulled the trigger and took you from me
6.
Runaway 05:27
I've been watching you with beaded eyes Got a proposition for your disguise Why don't you lose your mask? And let it all hang out You're a puppet of sick imitation A tool for someone's entertainment I hope you feel big now What will you say back home? They try to define you I feel it undermines you For all you've got they'll try and mine you Why don't you heed my warning? Because it's not too late I don't want your body No I don't want your posessions I don't feel that It's not my intention All I wanna touch is your mind Leave reservations behind You say I've lost my way You think I've lost my way but I know where I want to stand And yes I believe you must understand that I'm smiling at your mess When your scene It crumbles and falls It'll be just a screen revealed to all Standing in shallow dimensions It's frail appearance on show For your digression girl Here's my suggestion Don't feed expectations with all your aggression Just keep your cool and walk away

Heavy Headed 04:18
Trying to keep afloat In my heavy head It's the price I pay for light Illuminate all my work It keeps me cutting through all the waste that surrounds me And just pours out of their mouths It lets me know I'm not like them Even when it's loud And deafening in silence I would never trade it off The pain is worth the payout
8.
It starts with me Changes to us Then it's you This part I like the most Then others turn and move onto With what seems like to them a better deal But me I'll just stay the same Stuck in my old ways See my plans get laid to waste As it blows up in my face Back into my cocoon Shapes with sound I draw for me and you And when I am feeling blue And all has nulled me through One thing I can count true I'll come on home to you
9.
You've a light to see and I'm in line to be You've aligned with me and anything can be Seven times before What's to you once more? This is all I do Presented neat to you And it's my tool to pass the time With sound I keep the noise at bay Communicate through you A telephone to truth My brain a mast Melody signal Making light with sound I paint my own It surrounds Curvature of you Stature of me This is my way to pass the time With sound I keep the noise at bay
10.
Outbound 04:57
If you want to leave I will understand I keep screwing up and it's letting you down But first let me explain when I seem reluctant It's just the way I'm made If I fight it I'll just turn redundant You know it's like an art trying to keep a foothold? And as I'm learning to paint it's Like someone's pouring black out tenfold I am made of light but stuck in material Composed of noise but caught in the visual I was dropped out here on the recesses of my sound I have to find my way back so I can stand on the right ground You know it's like an art trying to keep a foothold? And as I'm learning to paint it's Like someone's pouring black out tenfold
