Change the Channel
Be straight when you’re in the moment
Where pieces of you could just fall off
It’s boring this time
Each day shedding lie to lie
Hide your colors
Let loneliness ease and suffer, whoa
Breathe out your light
Wearing a concrete disguise
Won’t get you far in this life
You travel through time
You grow and change the channel
Retreat from your throes
How could you feel alone?
Embrace the start
Your dissonance won’t deter you
Displacement of faith could go real far
Annoying this time
Each day reaching new heights
Find your colors
In moments of peace you travel alone
Breathe out your light
Wearing a concrete disguise
Won’t get you far in this life
You travel through time
You grow and change the channel
Retreat from your throes
How could you feel alone?
Embrace the start

I. The Pariah
Affluent scalding lives
You know the truth has yet to come
Greed builds and guilt subsides
Can’t keep the demons down for long
You see adoring eyes
You sheathe the powers of the son
I creep with burning eyes
You will atone for what you’ve done
Seek life in danger for all that succumb
Auras that mold into what you become
Insight to prey; you hang on by a thread
Ice in your veins has been sprawled on my...
Aid in the foreign skies
You know the worst has yet to come
Strong roots that build false pride
Gifted the lies you rushed to hum
You stare with flooding eyes
Unbridled panic festers in
Reach to the foreign skies
True to the man you’ve always been
Seek life in danger for all that succumb
Auras that mold into what you become
Insight to prey; you hang on by a thread
Your life imploding alone

II. The Progression
I can feel the claws
You’re getting rise
On the runway to flight
We fall in line
We step aside
But breathing out I feel it
In the air
It’s in my lungs
Stillness sanctifies
The blurry lines
Set to divide
Restrict our will to decide
I sense a different motive
Riddled with fallacies
Dove in yet missed the ocean
You’re not... you’re not me
Feel like you’re sinking under
All adoration gone
Ignoring distant thunder
Innocence keeping me strong
I push to sort the clutter
Sailing toward a new dawn
They reach out for comfort
I just keep floating along
I watch you abide
You’re hiding in plain sight
Aahhh
I thought it was a phase
Wandering eyes yet glazed
Live to dream
Spinning desires like a hurricane
No evidence to your turn of phrase
Founded your heart on deflated lungs
Slaying our dreams with the rising sun
Now with our souls taking center stage
We can commence the blueprint exchange
Shifting the code that I thought was mine
Break my own mold; we all live to die
I’m past the point of trial
Tie all of us down to the floor again
Wanted to be known in life
Wanted to believe in love
Why won’t you just grant insight
Warning those who seek the light

Flight in the Failing Knot
Even with your lust you give your alibi
Already losing trust I sing a solemn lullaby
I release the star containing our elusive lives
Replying with disdain that floors me, all this was a lie
Feeling out my soulless crime
Pleading with you, I cry
Fleeing at the perfect time
But I criticize the guise, guise
No man’s land altering
Among the deep
At wits’ end I rise
All along
Hold myself upright to keep from tossing, turning
Though finding solace in you is all I know
Eyes flooding with aspirations of love
Find glory in the sun above
Eyes flooding with aspirations of love
Find glory in the sun
I’m guarding an awful lot
Guarding an awful lot
Flight in the failing knot

Your Vessel

Your Vessel
I lay in the ocean
Falling from the sky
Even with lost life
I feel like I’m free to rise
My skin becomes altered
It’s a feeling I can’t ignore
I must reveal this plight
I am born
A plague
In this God’s gaze
Light the way
For the son to dream
Souls fly me into the sunlight
You can be my lungs, I
Will be your vessel, so bright
You look like
You could be my foresight
You will feed my prey drive
I’ll be your vessel, so bright
Deprave thy hands, cancer sinking by
I prey on anima, fill me up
Escape is futile yet they’ll surely try
As I am swaddled with this cloak
I take them from their slumber
My jaw is open wide
Energy spikes from slaughter
Heart slowing down
You look back on the fall
When you look back on the fall
That couldn’t take me
You’re overseeing it all, when you
Cast me out
Cast me off, throw away
You look back on the fall
When you look back on the fall
That couldn’t take me
You’re overseeing it all, when you
Cast me out
Cast me off, jealousy
The writing’s on the wall
There’s blood about to fall
An alluring scent that calls
We will suffer for it all
Few would call me tame
I’m relatively sane
With sympathy obtained
I point you to the blame
The writing’s on the wall
But the picture’s bound to fall
Divided from the law
Then uniting for the cause

III. The Passing
When will the time fly?
Staring endlessly
I am to form
I’ll hone the fires when compassion dissolves
I’d invite the light
Lend me profound embrace
And I’ll become; I’ll be your flower divine
But while you deny with my limits of time
I’m wilting away
I have eyes on
I hone the fires way down in my lungs
Eyes to the spire that’s calling us out
I hone the fires way down in my lungs
While they inspire the coming of the sun
Lie in a field of prying eyes
While concrete gardens idolize
I want to feel your hand in mine
We could push limits out of time
I hone the fires way down in my lungs
Eyes to the spire that’s calling us out
I hone the fires way down in my lungs
While they inspire the coming of the sun
Falling down...

IV. Rising Dragon
Toying with our souls
Like a stone
Level and dull
Oh, skip relentlessly
In the shifting deep
Evading the tides
I’m strained and weak
And far too keen
On abusing my past sunlight
Sins assembling eyes
Far more than our cries
My feeling of flight overthrown
Clearing the fragments I’ve strewn
Must be a sight for your dismay
Fleeting is this death I long
Bound to the night; escape to day
My consciousness adores
The heart slowing to pace
It’s brevity I mourn
I sense a smile on your face
If you’re the absolute
I’m failing to disguise
My contempt for your indecency
With an imminent demise
Clearing the fragments I’ve strewn
Must be a sight for your dismay
Fleeting is this death I long
Bound to the night; escape to day
Seeing the rising sun in my head
Is this how you play games with the wicked?
Never appeasing those who maintain
Then let us pray, don’t walk away
