The Great Space Race

Break yourself in two
And set free your lies
From a stained glass view
Colors fill the skies
Oh Bible Bible baby
Why can't you see
That all we ever asked for
Is just all that we were meant to be
And I still remember
Those days when you held me close to you
And I do remember that summer when you left me
But I felt like
We could walk on water
And still you left me lying there
Bleeding on the altar
As we built up the Babel
Never could we expect
On top we'd find some great space place
And that's all that we get
I tried to hide my memories
I tried to forgive and forget
Oh
I'm strung out but I still want to
I'm wrung out my neck's turning blue
There's nothing left but still so much ado
The book has closed
And opened up to a new view
I've seen your picture in the scriptures
Over the white walls of evergreen
Ivy leaves climb up and down my spine
Fiery dragons freeze over and over
And over
Break myself in two
Staring off into space
Strange how it is to exist
Wondering why I'm awake.

Waiting in the womb of Messiah
Black spitfire
Patters down the wires to my soul
The warmth that kept us whole
Desolate
Unknowing
Bitter by the breakneck gloaming
Ceaselessly
Searching for the cure
I scour the world until I'm whole

Ockham's Razor
05:14
|
|||
Hypnotized
Gazing at the faces passing by
Watching as the people start to fade
Comets to my left
Aphelion to my right
Staring at my shoes
Trapped in this
Orbit
Orbit
Ockham's blade splits me
Tycho
Tycho
Brahe
You circle yourself
Geo-Heliocentrically
Ockham's Razor divides reality
Sungrazing I melt away
Skull cracked
Skin peeled
Orbit
Orbit
Ockham's blade splits me
Tycho
Tycho
Brahe
Shouting only to be misheard
This beautiful mess is my only treasure
Do you still believe that we deserve this?
All that the universe has cursed us with?

Exist In Waves
04:27
|

My head spins
While my brain is off the clock
Caught in a rip tide
Lost in the Rift
Stars sprinkle the sea side
Lungs heaving as I drift
Through these hands, sands sift
And in these waves we exist
Worlds leave their host
And align along the coast
Thrown by the undertow
Dragged 10,000 leagues
Thoughts may sink, but our bodies just float
Surrounded by black
I refuse to see
What's become of me
Let the fish do as they please
My ego sprawls the sea

Campfire
04:24
|
|||
My body's blank and my vision's clear
With these flames of tender light
Every second brings a hundred years
While the next seems so far from sight
Make time
For me
Eager for my legacy
I count the days
The days that count
I watch the nighttime go by
Wasting all my idle time
I learn from doubt
Ambrosia fountains and Crystal glaciers
Crisp air wisps through blackening nature
The Moon begs the ocean
Huddled in the clouds
The Earth calls out to the Stars
But our voices are just too loud
Writing words that don't exist
Demons hide in my dreams
Still I don't mind
If my eyelids are too heavy to lift

Fractal People
05:01
|
|||
Laying on a hilltop doused in lucid dreams
Sunsets reflect off tanning leaves
Insanity stains a life set in stone
While the sky spins hula hoop beams
Deform my consciousness and terrorize my head
Spit on my image because my mind's a total mess
I don't want change but I need some
And I don't need a reason but I want one
Fractal People
With flowers in their heads
Never ending
We're all just patterns in the end
Stars shoot specter light
Into the creeping dark
So bathe me in a river
But hold me by the heart
As the hours jump forward
My body bounces back
Mind manifestos scribble black
Cardboard graveyards cut out from the grass
But like us and the flowers they don't last
Fractal People
With flowers in their heads
Never ending
We're all just patterns in the end
Fractal People
With flowers in their heads
Never ending
We're all just patterns in the end
Show me the world
Before we all just end up dead

If It Wasn't Midnight
05:01
|

In the wake
Of a bright new day
Shapes distorted by pain
Eyes free to move in place
Bound to humanity until my bones break
Seal off my world shackled by veins
Puppets all laugh
And sirens scream
Zion turns black
While trapped in these dreams
Hold my breath but my lungs won't last
Is this even really me?
Run
Escape
Scale those steps
The shadows are the truth
On the walls of the cave
Blinded
I feel my tears run red
Brimstone and water my blood won't let
Soak my head feel my eyelids swim
In my wake
The night decays
Free of my limits
Free of my chains
I have adjusted suspended in space
Run
Escape
Scale those steps
The shadows are the truth
On the walls of the cave
