and the earth split open
ravenous and unforgiving
it swallowed us all whole
not one of us was left living
i was taken last
made to witness the fall
to say goodbye to the past
to say goodbye to them all
they all stared blankly
as they were taken
i heard no asking
there was not a scream
or a begging sentiment
and as they swam
to the second hell
before i could speak
cry or yell
i was swallowed as well
to the pit of reckoning
where everyone fell

"But the problem is, even if i could go back,
                                                     I wouldn't belong there anymore."

silence the odd man out
he ain't got nothing important to say
freedom is something he can live without
when the sun comes out hide your eyes
ignore the beauty and wait for the night
keep yourself secluded
live your empty life
keep yourself deluded
that is your right

nothing lasts forever
how hard is that for me to grasp?
you are here now
you won't be here later
are you bored of me at last?
you know it
you know i love you
but are you too afraid to ask?
because you know you cannot say it back?
keep me around
to heal you willingly
to give you a part of me
stupidly
not all hurt is physical
mutual feelings not always symmetrical
you aren't wrong
nor are you evil
just bored
just gone

truth eats you when you're alone
when truth wins you lose control
i believe minds were made to be prisons
you only see what you are given
and what we are given doesn't exist
there is nothing about you that is real
they will have you forever so don't resist

as fragile as i may be
my dominion undeveloped,
i am proud of how i see this world
personal perception is something very precious
something i cannot let them steal
and against the grain it may be
i'm glad i am odd
