Of What Was

idee fixe 02:57
lions that escape to roam your thoughts and dreams they protect and destroy all you believe with little confidence do I speak but with great conviction I do sing
2.
wise investors choose their players feed the healthy breed the fittest but I am dying to the memory of all I wanted and could not have so pick and choose your enemies for a little security I am dying to the memory of all I wanted and could not have

a couple nights later another attempt to salvage this lifeless romance a dinner spent waiting for the bill to arrive while she plans her bitter revenge she’s up on the table ripped open her dress ”is this all you wanted from me? admit it you coward how ugly I am when there is no hunger to feed.” we all know that beauty is never found where we’re looking in the fire brings purity I will go and burn beyond all recognition so I can be ready only to be destroyed
4.
walking through unwinding paths that lead me to no end how I have searched endlessly for something to believe a picture that captures time a moment we can realize that there is more for us to see but out of focus it always seems don’t wait for the lines to change don’t wait for a sign you let all these years pass by it’s time that you let go it’s not too late you had too many days to wait upon these lines you had to wait for time to pass you waited all these years it’s time for you to leave this place it’s time to run away don’t wait for this to settle in it’s time that you found out
5.
if you don’t want to the circumstance will bare the naked and the lost if you could hold on the road might lead us to a place we all must see if I could show you all the things I wish i knew you would understand if I could let go of all the things I don’t know it would make some sense I want to see through I see light shine through speak to me in silence take my hand come through so won’t you take me and help me let go of all these tired times so won’t you show me and help me to find beauty in this life
6.
I took her coat I made her feel at home a glass of wine can make one spill their words she told me how she thought this life was war went home at night and said goodbye to the world you say she looks fine but what do you really know? the anger the sadness it never really shows an empty bottle of pills on the floor look for the farewell letter in her drawer she wrote of why it had to be this way could I have done something to make her stay? you say she looks fine but what do you really know? the anger the sadness it never really shows she lived life searching for something to believe I stood there believing that someone could be me your best kept secret is peace give it up give it away
7.
feel how the greater being comes "In rejoicings die..." melt in the music of the drums "I am you and I..." I’ve wasted half my life living up to this lie I won’t understand and I won’t believe unless you save me dying makes no sense all alone - insignificance living makes no sense all alone it’s all so meaningless assembly lines to create the productive the efficient mass it is always moving lines of assembly call for me to conform and to fall idle it is always beating

as the sun sets we will make our silent escape we will take nothing with us we will not leave a thing behind no more lies will you tell her no more cries from her bed all the anguish you bred here you will have to live with always and we long for redemption as we search for a promise draw me out of the water we must make our escape tonight take me to my home run with me now

of what was 07:31
listen now as I fall careless gently slipping mind unfolding without memory of how I got here a silhouette of where I should have gone make me understand all these wounds that need some healing I want to believe In these words that release me waiting for this dance to end soon spinning bending i am always static drowning movements that end at the start leaving me with scars I can’t see I can never see I can’t feel I can never feel I want to see I want to feel I want to know You are there Help me see Help me feel I want to know You are real
11.
and wait for me to speak promise I’ll keep and take this light from me so you can see as my star fades I swear I had waited for you to speak but all I hear is your silence call and make me understand these idle hands and speak so that I hear so that it’s clear and sing please sing to me beautifully and dance please dance for me so gracefully
