ProTools Course Week 2 Exercise

and nothin' cannot help me from helping myself to you 
so i hold my breath until my face turns blue 

surrounded by your image nothin' else could be so true 
your moments i will steal until i get my time with you 

you disconnect your phone but you know i can still find you 
i'm in your shadows in your dreams and in your nightmares too 
i am your dream come true

White Whale

Help Myself

i was born in a factory 
my image is just some illusion 
on a flat screen i expect some higher experience 
and i wake up numb 
so i turn away and steal away and burn away and fade away 

i look up to nothing 
i feel next to nothing 
i cry out for something 
and believe in nothing 
i look up for something 
i feel next to nothing 
i cry out for something 
and believe in nothing 

and I'm locked in 

a crack in the screen bleeds the truth 
pixels no longer dilute it 
the scene grows and it overwhelms my senses 
a bleakness claws through 
till theres nothing left but the shell of this automaton finally breathing true 

looking up to nothing 
and feeling next to nothing 
and crying out for something 
and believing in nothing 
looking up for something 
and feeling next to nothing 
while crying out for something 
but believing in nothing

Locked In

There is nothing wrong, 
Your eyes can see nothing. 
There is nothing wrong.

There Is Nothing Wrong

your eyes look funny 
like painted glass 
a mirror of some horror 
waiting to pass 
glimpsing the break we notice 
gauges askew 
fall into darkness from the optimal blue 

it is like we're falling down 

regain composure searching for an escape 
pressure mounting slowly 
sealing our fate 
choked and broken lying 
on this alien ground 
resigning all our dreams 
waiting to drown 

it is like we're falling down

Flounder

and it's finally done 
and we are alone 
toasting to our end 
to begin again 

and you were so divine 
a beautiful specimen of mine 
if i could hold you in my arms 
just for one more time 

but now its done 
the final bell has rung 
the deed is mine 
and i will relish in my time 

our time was grand 
thank you for all you have done 
but now your gone 
and i will search for someone

Apnea

Anthem

there's a time when you fall down 
and you can't stand back up 
before you let go you grip your sides tight 
the heart skips 
and your knees just give out 

alone in crisis 
blood rushes up to your head 
fight or flight kicks in 
till the room starts spinning 
and your knees just give out 

curled silently on the ground 
crowds gather at the scene 
flesh on the sidewalk 
eyes passing all over me 
till i let myself go 

social anxiety 
trembling uncontrollably 
and your body failing
