lyrics

Driftwood on the ocean,
I withstood the lone motions
And consumed the flow potions,
It made my self-esteem potent.
Now that every one’s divided, let’s find the quotient
It’s somewhere lining the walls of our homes with the gold tokens
I’m frozen, forever stuck in perpetual stasis
My intellectual side’s been abducted, trapped in a basement
I took one look at my date book and erased it ‘til i was faceless.
I spaced out and paced about the house to pass the hours
I’m lacking power and packing downers, suppressing cowardice
But the sound of my vowels still made it from my router to your browsers though, didn’t it?
I hate proving my doubters right,
I’m bred of night and i won’t sleep until i’ve seen some light
I’m ill fated, no matter the cadence the pain displayed naked
Heinous crimes against the self, i find i won’t consent to help
I’ll just condense this inner hell, attempt to dispense or expel
Reflection lingers well beyond the bombs I dreamt within this shell

I could make the whole thing float away
Any day
Stasis
I could decay or just sigh
Make my bones into coral hey I
No face no sky no place no why
Sank the boat just to swim away
Anyway
Faceless
I don’t know where I left my good side
Make my bones into coral hey I
No face no sky no place no why

See me sitting looking wistful out my windowsill
It’s been 30 fucking years i’m on the D-low still
Self-fulfilling fears’ll kill you long before a trigger will
They don’t really feel you til…..well they never really feel you
That’s the truth, a youth’s instilled with what's their starting situation
Mutations and aberrations can never join the conversations
They can never pave ways, they crave praise, but stay away, when friends say hey, feel waylaid, save face, favor slow decay
