disarray

imagine lying half awake in the middle of nowhere
tell yourself you've done that, you've been there
nothing within a thousand miles from you dares to move an inch
tiny raindrops gently fall on your face and your eyes slightly flinch

blink for a split second just to clear your view
watch the sky slowly turn gray as it begins to hue
the ground breaks apart and creates enough room for you to fall
the world is huge, the world is huge, and you're so small

if anybody hears you, i am sure they will let you know
if anybody cares at all, i am sure they will let it show
through the clouds, through the leaves, through the snow
through the rain, through the ground, just let go

let the beautiful scenery engulf you, chew you, spit you out
then it will shoot into your head without any doubt
no doubt at all, no doubt whatsoever
you will know, it'll stay by your side forever

here, leave what you want, take what you need
let your sharp senses slowly lose speed
let it lift you up the ground and take you away
disarray, disarray, disarray, thoughts of disarray

sun

the sun is up, the sun is high, it calls your name
it's done that since you were born, it's stayed the same
it awakens you, it beckons you, you're staring face-to-face
the amazing feeling of it all has you stuck in outer space
it has you jumping up and down, going from place to place
it will always stay the same, it will always call your name
and you just hope it will not fade away, that is will stay the same

in the dark

the vines intertwined with your soul as you faced the darkness ahead
and it was too late to turn back, the footsteps were closing in
it was your last chance, your last chance to face the darkness ahead
you knew it was too late to turn back, the footsteps were closing in

nothing makes sense in the darkness
your shadows are hidden and they dance where you can't see them
you can make any ridiculous face without the fear of being seen
you made the darkness yours, there was nothing in between
the spirits hidden in the dark come out to play
and with the flow you go, with the flow you sway

stop the time, pull apart the mechanisms that run your clock
count in your head as you run, count out loud as you walk
your hand rips from your arm and it runs off on it own
your heart turns into gold and your brain into stone
laugh at nothing because the darkness turns you into nothing
so join me in the dark where no one can see you, and you'll be nothing

we are nothing in the dark, but we are more than you'll ever be
we waste time in the dark, and we are more than you'll ever be
the dark makes me laugh, it makes me cry, it sends shivers down my spine
a masterpiece is a marvel but a line is divine
you're a line, you're a line, you're a line

realization is knocking at your door

a man searched the ground for any hints of buried treasure
checking every crack, every hint, no time for leisure
a child nearby petting a stray dog desperate for attention
eyes focused and fixed, voluntarily trapped in his own little detention
an elderly lady walking, admiring what she'd seen a million times
greeting me, a complete stranger, with a "good afternoon"
i guess not everyone is bad, i guess there are good people sometimes
the child would eventually be bitten by the dog
the man would look just to find nothing,
the woman would suffer and die too soon
but the child enjoyed every minute with the stray
the man would find his treasure someday
the elderly woman will be reunited with her husband
and i realized that there are still more aspects of life to comprehend

worldy desires safely locked up in our heads

the clouds are dancing over our heads and we agree with the world
we knew right there for just a split second, we finally understood
why she was feeling blue, why he decided taking shortcuts was the only way
why they make fools out of themselves, they put themselves on display
they make us laugh throughout the night
while they cry inside, shielding their faces from sight

i understand what you're going through
no, i have no idea what could possibly be wrong with you
sit with me and let's stay out of the limelight
we have ourselves, we don't need anyone else to make things right
the decisions we are going to make will decide our lives
but let's make pictures with the clouds while the right time has yet to arrive

we make castles and lions and mountains from the clouds
i take you up the steps of the castle and we reign over the crowd
we can take up our swords and slay the lion dead
i will take you so high up the mountain all the oxygen will run from our heads
we don't ever have to know the reason for the blue or the route of the shortcut
and the clouds will dance over our heads and we'll agree with the world

nobody likes tea

we grabbed a hold of ourselves and proceeded out the door
holding off the doubters until our hearts were sore
i am pretty sure you have impacted my life in some way
you seem to almost unintentionally lead me astray
those thoughts distract me from making any progress
you make me digress, you make me digress

we paint beautiful portraits just to eat it all up
so we can try to close our eyes just to see it again
we can drink expensive tea from crystal cups
and spit it out and pour it down the drain
it tastes like shit, oh my god, it's terrible
the taste in our tongues are unbearable

we are unstoppable, we walk down the abandoned street
the sense of urgency almost seems touchable, concrete
the sidewalk is concrete, so urgency is like the sidewalk
we stay off the sidewalk because we love to non-conform
so let whatever is coming come in the form of a storm
and we will face it with the handful of confidence we've saved

you are my demon, you are my monster

your words come out sloppy and your speech is slurred
the look on your face is sincere but i'm still not assured
you simply avoid the simplest things there are to say
but your false honesty won't lead me astray

i will stay strong and i will stay faithful
faithful of myself
i will stay strong and i will stay faithful
faithful of myself

the demons and monsters will continue to haunt me
the demons and monsters will continue to fail
you will just stand there, blind, failing to see
that you are the demon
that you are the monster
you have no clue that you are desperately trying to haunt me
and you have no idea that you will fail past eternity

the earth stands over us

it is clearly evident that the earth is growing over your feet
it makes its way up your legs and swallows you whole
until you are no more

it grasps you with no relent until digestion is complete
you are gone from sight, it has swallowed your soul
and you are no more

you were nothing special, and your flesh is now meat
your lifeless eyes stared nowhere, you had no control
now you are no more

the earth is your father, the earth whips you while you quiver
stand and shiver to show you are inferior, stand and shiver
avoid the lights in order to avoid the imminent embarrassment
tell yourself it wasn't meant to be, it clearly was not meant
to go down like it did, to go down with everyone against you
you ponder that while the earth slowly takes over you
it savors the moment

nonsense thoughts

wouldn't it be nice if we placed ourselves in the middle of beautiful scenery
or maybe in our deathbeds just to be on the contrary
we're wasting so much time, we're killing too much time
you're a murderer, you've just committed the worst possible crime
you could've hid behind time but you've wasted it all
nothing to hold onto, nothing to grasp as you're about to fall

but we can make more time, give me time to make more time
i can give you all the time in the world so you can waste more time
i'll stop by time and time again to see how you've spent your time
and if i have enough time, i'll stick around so we can waste more time

we can let the direction of the wind help us decide where we're headed next
it doesn't have to be complex but it can be if you want it to be complex
i'll lead us to the eye of a tornado and let it shoot us up in the air
then we'll let gravity decide our fate from all the way up there
think of all the sights we'll see thousands of feet up in the sky
look at us, look at us, look at us, look at us, look at us as we fly

the ground is rapidly coming at us as we continue our quick descent
our fates could be punishment, or maybe it could be heaven sent
maybe we weren't meant to live our lives according to plan
maybe it was suppose to end right when it began
the times we spent have left me happy and content
but the ground is rapidly coming at us and we continue to descent

everyone should have the opportunity to express their own thoughts
slap you when you're completely going out of your own mind
no one should have the opportunity to express their own thoughts
wrecking havoc and destroying anything ever considered mankind
we can run from it all and sit high up in the depths of the sky
and we can enjoy beautiful scenery as the world around us slowly dies

i'm alive today

today is going to be a good day
today is going to be better than yesterday
i'm going to turn things around this time around
turn things around with these aspects of life i've found
i'm going to realize how lucky i am to wake up each morning
how life is rushing at me without any sign of warning
learning not to regret the smallest mistakes anyone could make
we breathe, we laugh, we smile, we cry, we scream, we ache
but we're alive, and it is the greatest thing in the world
we are alive, please realize that you are alive
plain and simply alive, not twirled around or swirled
we've arrived to thrive, to strive, to survive
i'm going to lay in the middle of nowhere just because i can
set out on an adventure with no clear path, no clear plan
i have you, i have the world, you have me, you have yourself
realizing how lucky i am to sit here and think for myself
i wouldn't trade it for the world
