lyrics

We’re manic carbon, i’m moral reef
I’m like the chief
I’ll keep it brief
Read my motifs in this leaflet
Cause I don’t believe that we’ve met
You can find me down in the abyss
Where I’ve been trying to find my bliss
It’s like this:

Denounce an old self, soul spent in resentment
Content with ill intent
I might get sentimental, it’s a little hard to swallow
Sorta like a spoonful of cinnamon, acetaminophen
Instead of daily vitamins, wake me when i’m a better man
Abettor to a severed end, I weathered all the downward trends
But still put down and condescend, stubborn i don’t like to listen
Condemn them if they don’t fit in, cover for my own dilemma
Send me to Gehenna

Free yourself and find the sentencing’s twice given
Oh what’s life like in a bigger prison?
Cull the herd, whole third wanna drag ‘em
Can't exist just straddling the schism
There’s mistakes that i own, and I try to atone
Still you state only, hate for me,
Fate forcing, haste forming
Late warming placeholding
Won’t be playing when i’m hanging from the balcony
Talcum p, on my hands, i need alchemy
I need a miracle or magic or something so enigmatic
As a tear in the fabric, a pattern seen in the static
That’ll turn this haphazard habit to have it half as tragic
I dragged myself down through this abyss
I’ve been tryin to find my bliss, my bliss
Every wasted waking moment i’m remiss, i miss
And it goes like this
