We were running in circles, but the Man came by to slow it down
And the farther I get, how sure I am to hit the ground
But I know that it's working, the pill I don't ingest
And every day of silence is a trip into the West
I see your horizon, it's your song I hear
The pathway I need to take has never been clear
But every time I wake up, I'm still alive,but darling don't you close your eyes
The secrets we shared late that night on the couch were half-baked memos, it's nothing to worry about
I know that it seems insincere to cover up holes in the boards on the pier
In every dream I die, but I've never felt more alive
If I've ever been sick, I've never found a cure
In times of rapture, I've never been pure
Now monsters are stirring inside this dead machine
And pyros are looking to bathe in gasoline
But somewhere inside is this picture I found
And when I fall asleep, I'm in the background
With every mistake, I'm digging this hole
I want to see light in the dark
I want to make amends with the hole in my heart
And when death comes knocking, I know that I can start.

Ever since I kissed the ground I walked above, I always tried to reconcile the digging notion that I'm not everything the people said,
Flowing words have long been dead
Though the times have changed, the dreams I had are drowned in doubt again
Staged fights and curtain calls, the holy scripture on the walls
Faking the hidden drive, taking my borrowed time
Cut loose and knowing fear will take me down, I'll disappear into the ruined trees,
Stuck with natures disease
Ever since I raised my hands up towards the sky knowing everyone was chasing tails, and I'd get no reply
Wasting time on hard wood floors, never saw the underscore
The foundation of a memory was cracking under wait of something more
Everything I heard, it must be true, 'cause why would the people you trust lie to you?
And what I say, I never do
I can't just give it up
I planned to lighten up
What power do my words have when my idols crumble down off the platform that I put them on and into the ground?
I saw myself in these people before they denounced their crown
I never thought I'd hear
Inspiration disappear.
