gaslighting god

it's a strange thing to not know what's real
to question all that you feel
and to know beyond all doubt
the shape of god gleaming throughout

bleeding out mysterious shades
falling below transmitting waves
churning out the brightest halls
holding flesh in mental brawls

if you're feeling grey
throw it away
ain't got no time to stay
might just squeeze through these cracks again

it's a strange thing to now know what's real
to question all that you feel
and to know beyond all doubt
the shape of god gleaming throughout

bleeding out mysterious shades
falling below transmitting waves
churning out the brightest halls
holding flesh in mental brawls

if you're feeling grey
throw it away
it ain't got no time to stay
it may squeeze through these cracks again
if you're feeling grey
throw it away


threw it away

i ride the river i choose, i choose you
you ride the river you chose, the river you chose
ride my high like a train, in vain, proof
smile on the land that we made, the land we invade

die on the hill that they pray
what these hands made, what these hands made
shine light on the darkest of duels
there's some use

ride my high like a train, the rain is proof
smile on the land we made, the land we invade

i ride the river I chose
i choose you
i choose

smile on the land

it's been too long
i'm too far gone
falling down again
i might lose it all again in spite

your system burns
the violence churns out another war outside
but there's war inside us too

my fear rots, shot in the back of the head
we're better off, it's better off dead

sun pulls up on my coffin nails
asleep in the sound of rays bouncing

i felt the void in my eyes die
come alive in the mirror
radio, who's inside your metal head

the mirrors black
no paint left beside it
stoned again
lost forever in the noiseof falling rain
mystify me pleasantly
brush the dust off shoulders down the line
waiting still, no longer still
our fists speak

your system burns, the violence churns out another war outside
but there's war inside us too

i tried to cope, words i spoke rattled out
i tried to, i tried to cope words i spoke
rattled out dried up lips cut up by my silent doubt

against the grain, scraped your knees
lift your head up to the shimmering
sky we made is falling fast

we'll catch a spark and hoist a flag
to catch our pride, we'll let it hang
where it belongs, six feet under

underground flag

always moving on to the next thing
shallow castles drinking prophets tears
can't see what tomorrow brings
just know what's behind todays fears

a glimpse from the mirror's eyes
a tender hand wrapped tight under
a smog over this beautiful blight
a final song before the plunder
a dream recurs in endless sight
oh i can hear the raging thunder

falling. choosing not to blink
hallowed objects drowning in jeers
seems i can't breathe if i think
listening wind is nothing to hear

from the mirror's eyes
a tender hand wrapped tight under
a smog over this beautiful blight
a final song before the plunder
a dream recurs in endless sight

smog

saw you falling up, tried to help you down
sounds muffle your mouth, bleeding and shut

eyes behind the absent stare
drifting stars eclipse your hair

dripping blackest tears on the flesh we live
praying rituals, drowning

silence behind the absent stare
drifting stars eclipse your hair
hiding the soul we're all alone
nowhere is somewhere to be found

nowhere is somewhere

i hate these fragile, squirming egos
spitting on the lonely mirage
spilling half full notions, know i'm potent
overflowing into their bitter ocean

i love the silence in the air tonight
digging deep into lazy bones
purple rivers running deep beneath them
flowing for nature's throne

i hate the hollow empty spaces,
smiling faces and elated gazes
desperately drowning in the sound the created
under their mask it's the pasts gravity breaking#

i love the violence in the fire tonight
burning hypocrites to dust
no ember better left to burn
catching light in the coffins lust

i hate the hollow empty spaces,
smiling faces and elated gazes
