Fight

Forced into survival,
come join me on this crusade.
The war between what we tell ourselves.
Not really what we want.
We fight. We fight.
Hands reach out,
I'll try to speak,
the words won't come to me,
so how can you help.
I made my own choice
but these choices changed on me.
We took our name to mean something else.
Not who we really are.
We fight. We fight.
Hands reach out,
I'll try to speak,
the words won't come to me,
so how can you help.
Faced with our own absence,
judging where we go.
Believe. Assume. Pretend.
We fight. We fight. We fight. We fight.
Hands reach out,
I'll try to speak,
the words won't come to me,
so how can you help.

Tape Loop

Consequence, thought I had figured it out.
So what is left when no choice seems worth it at all.
Patiently, I watch it slip right by.
Far from me, no longer within my reach.
All my time gone, taken away.
All these choices, weighted and so unfair.
The feeling bleeds like a tape loop of thoughts make their sound.
Stuck in need, these ideas won't push through the ground.
Decisionless, god I just want it all.
Motionless, so how am I losing control.
All my time gone, taken away.
All these choices, weighted and so unfair.

What if we could
think in some other form?
Another language?
Uninterpreted sound?
And I would misunderstand, would never believe.
And I would misunderstand, no information to conceive.
What if we could
take away belief?
Detach from any
kind of meaning?
And I would misunderstand, would never believe.
And I would misunderstand, no information to conceive.
Freedom achieved
through separation.
And I would misunderstand, would never believe.
And I would misunderstand, no information to conceive.
No information.

Will Never Break
04:46

Back down to where I first started,
a place I keep running from.
Find me, might as well embrace this,
it's not too late.
With all the things I've fixed in life
some things remain scarred,
but eye won't break me.
I do the best I can
and though it seems I haven't tried,
this will never break me.
Though I c change the road I'm on,
but it's too much to be forgotten,
so it seems the road has guided me,
am I too late?
With all the things I've fixed in life
some things remain scarred,
but eye won't break me.
I do the best I can
and though it seems I haven't tried,
this will never break me.
In all the times I've given up
theres always some new hope
that will push me.
Maybe one more shot is all I need to feel complete,
this will never break me.
There was so much promise when it all seemed easy.
A complicated future summarized in few words.
Avoiding pain's not possible to live a life worth living,
so open up. Open up.
With all the things I've fixed in life
some things remain scarred,
but eye won't break me.
I do the best I can
and though it seems I haven't tried,
this will never break me.
In all the times I've given up
theres always some new hope
that will push me.
Maybe one more shot is all I need to feel complete,
this will never break me.
Return without a choice but I feel
grateful that I can try just one more time,
as long as it takes.

Can it all be near, the good and bad we fear,
the calm inside the storm, the ways that we reform.
Take another chance, and curse that it won't last.
Take another pill, learn just one more skill.
The stillness and the rage come together quietly.
I find myself inside a world colliding high,
no place to go with e even flow.
Always want the same, igniting every flame.
It's hard to open to a world of all the views.
The stillness and the rage come together quietly.
