lyrics

Verse One:

Late night epiphanies
I feel them alive, like they breathe
Deep inside my shadowy soul
Turn on lights, watch it glow
Film projects on my inner walls
All emotion, no words at all
Try to speak it, feel so weak, it
Is…so…
Hard to reach it
This album's about life
This album's about death
This album's about the fight that you fight to keep breath
I create to be immortal
Shape life, make a portal
Be a star, in orbit
See far, absorb it
Feelin' so incompetent
Losin' all my confidence
Damn, this shit in nonsense
I'm gonna lose my conscience
And let my demons haunt it
Take my soul and pawn it
Sorry, I am honest
I get lost easily
My ambitions teasing me
Things aren't what they seem to be
And what they seem is seemingly
Just another dream to me
Late at night they sing to me
Lullaby's, but what if I…
Can't say what they mean to me?

Verse Two:

Let the story begin
A man from Michigan with ink in his pen
Thinkin' again, words link with the wind
Blow through my ears through the speakers again
Drag the boat over
Mountains and boulders
Rivers and oceans
Rope on my shoulders
Travelin' through Babylon
Villages and palaces
They tell me to babble-on
My hands form calluses
Per-fectionist
Per, my recklessness
Merge with the words
And I wear them like necklaces
They become nooses
Each one produces
Mirages that lie and seduce it's
Like starin' at Medusa
Frozen by my dreams like starin' at halluci-
Nations that I'm facing' when I'm lookin' at my future
Lookin' in the mirror like nothin' ever suits ya
Try to find the path, but the path is illusio-
Nary and it's scary tryin' to speak like a mute the
World flies by in an instant
Lines form into circles in the distance
