Rattled Up

Only when you just give in can you ever win
What tameless discipline
It’s like when you realize the clearest of eyes are made of see-through lies
To guess is to guess incorrectly, to think about it wrong
But don’t get rattled up inside, that’s pointless like this song
Only when you understand that you’re in command does everything feel planned
It’s like when you finally become yourself and all you want to be is someone else
To live is to live an illusion, to know is to despair
But don’t get rattled up inside, it’s not like you should care
What’s unfair is that you don’t wish to be drawn into a state of misery for the rest of time
Where paradise is blind you would rather look and see
Only when you figure out there’s nothing to doubt do you wonder what it’s all about
It’s like every time you question who you are and all you held so close seems oh so far
You’ll waste your life looking for answers where nothing can be found
But don’t get rattled up inside, there’s beauty all around

Heavier Than Feathers

Call me out, never let me ignore it, it’s driving me insane
Scream and shout, feel as heavy as feathers, and intricately plain
Infiltrate my brain
All I want to do is break all my bones for you
All I want to say is that I don’t want to say a thing
Instead I don’t say a thing
Of laziness and fear, I want the hell out of here
And in the way, multi-faceted reasons to be the tree I climb
Infiltrate my mind
Every day with the ideal confusion softening my fall, delaying the truth of it all
All I want to know is not much and so and so
All I want to be is that I don’t want to be at all
Why’d you tell me I’m not when I know that I am?
But if it’s still unclear, I want the hell out of here

We'll Be Fine

I’ll give you anything you’re willing to receive
So if you find yourself returning nothing
Just keep me in a box and I’ll live happily
The less I know about it all, the more I’ll be free
And all I want you to do is listen, because I am asking your permission
And I’ll let you do anything just to carry on pretending nothing’s wrong
So we’ll ignore the obvious, I’m just to waste time
And don’t you ever let me think I’m more, and we’ll be fine
In each and every single moment, I’m caught up admiring that each and every single moment is at all
So forgive me if you can, I’m so impractical
I meant that life is shit and everyone is dull
Yet here I am, begging you to listen, because I am asking your permission
And I’ll let you do anything just to carry on pretending nothing’s wrong
So we’ll ignore the obvious, I’m just to waste time
And don’t you ever let me think I’m more, and we’ll be fine

From Hibernation

No I won’t catch every glimpse of hope inside this net
I wish I had much less to regret
But you’ll find that I haven’t dissolved into your silhouette, not yet
No I won’t turn in the morning for the silver light
Alright, ok, yes I will, it’s true
But you’ll find that I haven’t evaporated by remaining deeply indifferent to you and me
I hope someday you will crawl right back to me from hibernation
I’ll throw the stone of your mind into the sea, sinking sensation
Though numb inside it won’t happen painlessly, that relocation
I know someday you will crawl right back to me from hibernation

Somewhat Not The Same

I’ve lost my marbles I’m inclined to believe
I’ve missed all my chances to lose what I need
No more changing, everything is pre-ordained
I’ll slow up and you’ll slow down and then we’ll be the same
All I’ve said is all I am gonna say
What I’m saying has all been said anyway
No more headaches, fewer aching heads, you’ll see
They’re somewhat not the same, obviously
For the price of nothing, for the price of everything
We can blend in to the walls around us
Calculate and formulate crazy stuff
The limitation is whatever is enough
No more heart and much less heartlessness instead
Drill a tiny hole into my head
Pour the contents out and cast the thoughtlessness aside
Tear it open and place machines inside
Please obey, and make my day
