From The Vaults Vol. I

This verse in reverse Repeating and repeating Inverse universe Repeating and repeating It's always the same Circles spins Stuck in it again Repeating curse Run in reverse

Two steps backwards for everyone forward I haven't heard it all nor have I seen it This heart on my sleeve beats no more I'm not getting older I'm just weathered Past and future are in a fist fight I don't care which wins competition is boring Ego don't fail me now they love confidence Intuition strikes again fueling paranoia This summer heat can't make me sweat I have too many shadows to hover over me Have no control

In absentia without sound Attribute wisdom to a small tongue Breathe in stale air to heal all wounds We see the end We see the end See the same lines and where they divide Feeds on itself the weakness collides Too late for thought when it's ignored We see the end before it begins Blood of ignorance continues to reign It's automatic the process the gain On silent hands with silent demands We see the end We see the end Procrastination has failed again Imperfection as a guise We see the end

All the pictures they remind me Of a time I took for granted In the photo of a memory Finds the death of reality You told me that life moves too fast What I wish for you is your life to last As the days sway closer to the end Going faster Going faster Try to hold on At the cusp of the day closer to the end Going faster Going faster Try to hold on

Forthright hidden inside Subconsciously endlessly Exploring unresolved Some things can't be followed through Too scared to find the ending truth Essence of light Enticing flight Transcendent peace Transcendent peace

Lost for words of any respect Can forgive but won't forget Beat down but head still high Pride intact but sore inside Don't recognize my own reflection Not open to any suggestions I'm content with what I have Look back and try to laugh I owe you nothing I take very little I would love nothing more than to swallow the fists of your fortune I won't be dragged kicking or screaming I owe you nothing I take very little Throat is raw no recollection Many miles of separation Same night as the one before Won't complain it's my own fault I'm content with what I have Look back and try to laugh Shake your head on the way down We're all stuck at the bottom line

Sideways moving lights Fading voices calling Live in the moment Delayed persistence Second guessing Distance compressing Will has gone away
