Nearly over,
Nearly defeated,
Nearly there,
Or nearly here.

Almost gone,
Almost broken,
Almost shown,
Or almost grown.

Bordering time,
Bordering death,
Bordering blood,
Or bordering ledges.

Now alive,
Now ready,
Now built up,
And now looking up.


The past builds to the present.

I'm not ready to comply,
Cause I don't know if I can rely,
Or take any side,
Between yours and mine,
Mine takes the most time,
To pretend that I'll be fine.

To be a disgrace,
To my lovely saving grace,
Two sided place becomes my face,
Oh, I could apologize but to entice,
I must hold you high above the fights.

People would be shocked to know,
How I don't find you a foe,
But more so a friend,
I'll take that notion.

To be a disgrace,
To my lovely saving grace,
Two sided place becomes my face,
Oh, I could apologize but to entice,
I must hold you high above the fights.

"The cure comes from what we seek,"
Says our tiny human brain,
So come outside and take a peek,
Watch as the rain may repaint,
Our skin, and it may reek,
It will drain us of our frame,
Leaving us without a need to be weak.

Listen to the pattering drop dead, dead silence,
Until we're told that in order to revive we must relive violence,
Through our childhood eye, we're not proud of compliance.

One life to live it, never mind, I'll take it,
It'll be time before you realize the sin was sitting,
You'll be sick and frail until you fake it,
Alternate versions of biting syllables,
Thought you never could be considered dead for a sit,
It seems as though you never thought it'd be hitting until you started quitting.

Listen to the pattering drop dead, dead silence,
Until we're told that in order to revive we must relive violence,
Through our childhood eye, we're not proud of compliance.

Sudden moves so slow to grow,
Record scratches become music to our ears,
Wreck it and tuck it under basements,
Your bed is a colander to sift bad memories,
Outside of each of us is something you can't trust.

Don't trust the shadow boy,
Break ties with his chants,
Fingers crossed, R tossed behind backs,
Take him on now.
Right now,
n o w.

******* your hands,
Restraining rubber bands,
Freakish offhand to demand,
And now we're ******* up contraband,
It might taste like sand,
But it's actually bland, man,
Oh I hate the way I stand,
Do you understand?
Of course you don't understand,
Cause I'm gonna countermand,
Drive yourself to misbrand, me,
This isn't land,
This isn't land,
Just quicksand

Don't trust the shadow boy,
Break ties with his chants,
Fingers crossed, R tossed behind backs,
Take him on now.
Right now,
n o w.

Oh, I know, we haven't talked much,
It's been forever since we've seen each other,
I fell for your lack of words,
In the darkest hours of my nights,
When I allowed the acid to run down my skin.

On my head,
All my vices,
In my bed,
This fabric it slices,
And I've said,
again and again,
"Destroy me."

It rained in through the roof,
The people beside myself crying "deliver me"
The walls inside the room closed up so tight,
All I could see was the sky,
And in the sky I couldn't see anybody,
Yet I yelled and I screamed,
Terrified, petrified,
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

On my head,
All my vices,
In my bed,
This fabric it slices,
And I've said,
again and again,
"Destroy me."

"Destroy me."

"Destroy me."

People manage to fall in love,
With a cloak in their hand,
Woven of human words and perfectly invisible,
It's a sacrifice of their lives,
Though not always a bad one,
It's got me wondering.

How do you give your heart away,
How do you hastily fall for nothing and everything at once,
How do you see His love inside your soul enough to return it?

I'm blasphemous,
Riding the silver lining and hoping He's more than just fiction,
Yet shooting the father, the son, and the holy spirit with no shame,
I'm sorry that I'm not sorry at all,
Through the darkest times,
I believed the most.

How do you give your heart away,
How do you hastily fall for nothing and everything at once,
How do you see His love inside your soul enough to return it?

Red under fabric,
Single creative head made to spin out,
Drugs are ineffective but so's my hand,
Torn fresh bodies ruin the carpet of your room,
How they got there is unquestionable,
I won't judge your darkest nights.

Flush down those thorns,
Watch me move,
Let me entrance you,
I'll keep you safe,
If things get, vicious,
I'll break those arms trying to hurt you.

There's enough but not enough,
Maroon puddles you jump into,
Get transported into a world,
You don't understand and you can't think,
The world will overcome everything you lost,
Your head, your chains, your trust.

Flush down those thorns,
Watch me move,
Let me entrance you,
I'll keep you safe,
If things get, vicious,
I'll break those arms trying to hurt you.
