Walk this dark road
No lights, ***** lens
Look through the glass
And see, just watch
As blue turns to green
And green sizzles white
The beauty of chemistry
In the waters of our lands
Rid yourself of your mind's pettiness
And jump in
And let go
Say goodnight
To the cold and the snow
Open your blinds
Let the light in
Let yourself see
And you will
See
You will
See

Come on, little sister
Make amends
Let us know truth
Make it better
Tell us what we need
So now when we hear your words
We will no longer fall on scraped knees
Stand up like a man, sister
On those feet of concrete
And let it all out
Because I know what you think you know
But I'll tell you this
You've known no pain

Get up
The minutes pass you by
Mechanically
They've no need to lie
To you
Passively watch as they wave
You're glued
To this path you've long paved
Your way has been set

In and out and out and in
Situations predetermined before you knew
There is no real way to win
Now, you find yourself turning blue
You were green at the start
Eager to get it done with ease
But now that that part
Is over you just want sleep
Forever in the menagerie of eternity
Heavy on your head and thoughts
Long is gone, the vanity of deceit
This is the life that your family has bought

Fearing a life of struggle and pain
Unsure of the path of least resistence
To join an organization, the same
As everyone won't give you a listen
To fight a war of secrecy
Killing innocents with a smile
Innocence is lost, you see
Might as well run your mile
But this life promised so much more
Your hopes and dreams scowl at your incompetence
Everything was so bright and white before
Now things continue to make no obvious sense

Lonely, lonely, lonely
If only, if only
They'd know me, know me
Lonely, lonely, lonely

Don't get
What it takes
Might have
High stakes
They don't
Know how
I won't
Bow down

If you don't
Take the time
I don't
Have to whine
You know
How I do it
I know
How you lose it
You're gone, gone, gone
And I'm still here
Silently turned on, on
Cheers

Whoa-oh-oh
I don't have to go
But I can if I feel threatened
This lonely love is never lessened
By the sound of your breath
By the heat of the night
And the notion of peaceful rest
I won't try to fight
Because it's done, done, done

Gaze into it
See yourself
Looking back
Is it you?
Or an imposter?
You can never really be sure
The eyes in the skull
Staring back
Never seem to be honest
About where they've been
What they've witnessed
Who they've touched
Why they look so tired

You just sigh though
There's not much else you can do
For all you've been through
Gets imprinted in your head
Transmits itself outward
And onto everything you see
Into everyone who looks inside
You can try to deny
Try and try as you might
The underneath always seems
To find its way to the surface
Clawing and scratching until
It spills
Onto the cold ground

When I step foot on the concrete
It seems to dissipate
Sliding back and forth
Everything is on vibrate
The world collapses in
And expands out
There is no peace, no sin
Every whisper is a shout
Echoing

Look up at the sky
And I don't see
I only feel
What is and what can be
Trees reach for me
And I touch them
With fingertips of gold
It's all made of solid gold

And then switch
There is no money
No future of life
Just like pouring honey
It all seems too sweet
Thank you, I think
To myself, no one knows
How grateful or enlightened
I am when reaching for those
Gold trees
With
Gold
Finger
Tips

In nature
How the river flows
No rapture
A flower dies and it grows
Trust in my words
When I don't know what I'm saying
Trust is for the birds
As they touch clouds, they're flying

As is life, as are you
People come and go
You love me and I loved you
I would've done whatever you said so
I'm just another one of those people
Now I'm a ghost and more than before
Now you're weakening and growing more feeble
I gave you so much, now I'm gone and you want more

So this is me
And this is you
What to be
What to do
I'm set on go
And you're stuck on me
You never thought
You'd be so lonely
So you say
But you hold back
You always hold back
