"Shadow Of A Man"
Mirror mirror... Upon the wall I'm asking you
"Who is the most confused of them all?"
Mirror mirror... Subservient twin screams back at me "You!"
You sick flawless mime,
I want to break you
Yeah, you're a clever one...
Do you reflect me?
Or do I reflect you?
Are you inside of another world?
I wanna break through!
Yeah, you're a clever one...
Is this a tool, can I step through, to find another plane,
Or just a shadow of a man
A superficial tool, to support the vanity of weak,
When you don't love yourself
If life's as painful on your side, I'll break your
Existence and cut through mine
You're a clever one
Are you a tool, can I step through, to find another plane,
Or just a shadow of a man
Are you my brother, you look like me,
Trapped inside another world my lost twin
Just a superficial tool, to support the vanity of weak,
When you don't love yourself
Mirror mirror upon the wall, am I the reflection
Of you,
Mirror mirror upon the wall, are you staring back through
Understanding has no place within my world
On your side
Are you a tool, can I step through, to find another plane,
Or just a shadow of a man
Are you my brother, you look like me,
Trapped inside another world my lost twin
Are you a tool, can I step through, to find another plane,
I'm just a shadow of a man
Just a superficial tool, to support the vanity of weak,
When you don't love yourself
"Cradle"
Breathe...
Push...
...I lost you, you were my god thought what do I do now
you were never there for me never there to carry me,
22 years looking back that time is gone it was you I believed in look
what you've done to me realize what you've done to
Me
I can't bleed,
I can't bleed,
I wanna break for the life that walked away from me
I can't see going on in this darkness I'm blind beneath my cradle the
bough has broke, I exorcise my loss your lie the punishment
It takes time to try to mend the wounds of all the suffering,
What do I do now all I'm asking from you please send me a sign to
guide me through the times that lie in front of me I'll get by
myself
Look at me now, a piece of shit like you.
Look at me now, you left me so fuck you.
Everybody leaves me, everybody's gone.
Watch my father leave me, there's nobody left.
Feels like I've never been loved.
Everybody leaves me, never gave a shit about me.
Everybody's gone, I'll rot in my head alone.
I don't give a fuck about you, go the fuck away .
Fake being, inside of my heart you are the liar.
Innocence displaced.
Been left.
Here I stand now and I'm alone,
With no one to comfort me.
One set of footprints in the sand.
No one to take my hand, I'll .
I'll walk through as long as I need.
I'll drift through my life though I'm alone.
Outgrown the cradle that once housed me
And I've found that all I need is
Me.
Found I've never needed you to push through
All the shit that stacks up inside of my life.
Endless plight that circulates through my body.
I'll keep stumbling, beating, pummeling
Teething on the rind and renounce my being.
I can't see going on.
I can't see
I'm so tired, of trying to mend the wounds of all my suffering.
What do I do now?
All I'm asking from you please,
Send me a sign
To guide me through the times that lie in front of me.
I'll get by myself
I can't see going on fuck it.
"Goodbye"
Pendulum stops and falls away
Life sifted through like sand
Storms of summer rain
Flooding lifelines in our hands
Our skin of blood and bone
Gently close to dust and blows
Our home of blood and bone
Pulls through the ground and so....
Unstoppable
These feelings of loss
So unstoppable
Egging through to the marrow of bones
Just let it go
Pain willing in your eyes
Just let me go
Dry the tears that fall
And remember
When everything is typical
ill be the wish upon a star
I’ve found a place so magical
Goodbye....
See you another goodbye
I..See you another goodbye
See you another goodbye
See you another...
Peeling killers rise
Precious circle is mended
Sense vertigo in you
So I?l be your halo
So unstoppable
My love for you
So unstoppable
Memories of you
Just remember
When everything is typical
ill be the wish upon a star
I’ve found a place so magical
But still please...
Someone, Help Me, Grab Me, Save Me Now,
Distrust, Darkened, Daylight, I’ve lost sight
Someone, Help Me, Grab Me, Save Me Now,
Distrust, Darkened, Daylight, I’ve lost sight
Remember
That nothing here is typical
ill be the wish upon a star
I’ve lost something so magical
And gone so far
Just remember
When everything seems difficult
ill be shining from a far
When it feels like things have gone away
ill see you again
ill see you again, Goodbye
ill see you again, Goodbye
ill see you again, Goodbye
ill see you again, Goodbye
ill see you again, Goodbye....
[Schism]
I know the pieces fit cuz I watched them fall away
mildewed and smoldering, fundamental differing,
pure intention juxtaposed will set two lovers souls in motion
disintegrating as it goes testing our communication
the light that fueled our fire then has burned a hole between us so
we cannot see to reach an end crippling our communicatioooon.
I know the pieces fit cuz I watched them tumble down
no fault, none to blame it doesn't mean I don't desire to
point the finger, blame the other, watch the temple topple over.
To bring the pieces back together, rediscover communicatioooon.
The poetry that comes from the squaring off between,
And the circling is worth it.
Finding beauty in the dissonance.
There was a time that the pieces fit, but I watched them fall away.
Mildewed and smoldering, strangled by our coveting
I've done the the math enough to know the dangers of a second guessing
Doomed to crumble unless we grow, and strengthen our communicatioooon.
cold, cold, cold,
Cold silence haaaas
a tendency toooo
atrophy anyyyyy
sense of compassiooooon.
between supposed loverrrs
between supposed brotherrrrrs.
(I know the pieces fit. 7x)
I know the pieces fiiit!
[Sober]
There's a shadow just behind me,
shrouding every step I take,
making every promise empty,
pointing every finger at me.
Waiting like a stalking butler,
who upon the finger rests.
Murder now the path called must we,
just because the son has come.
(Jesus, won't you fucking whistle,
something but the past and done? 2x)
Why can't we not be sober?
Just want to start this over.
Why can't we drink forever?
I just want to start things over.
I am just a worthless liar.
I am just an imbecile.
I will only complicate you.
Trust in me and fall as well.
I will find a center in you.
I will chew it up and leave,
I will work to elevate you,
just enough to bring you down.
(Mother Mary won't you whisper,
something but what's past and done. 2x)
Why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start this over.
Why can't we sleep forever?
I just want to start this over.
I am just a worthless liar.
I am just an imbecile.
I will only complicate you.
Trust in me and fall as well.
I will find a center in you.
I will chew it up and leave
(Trust me. 5x)
Why can't we not be sober?
I just want to start things over.
Why can't we sleep forever?
I just want to start this over.
(I want, what I want. 4x)
[Crawl Away]
You crawled away from me,
slipped away from me.
I tried to keep a hold,
but there was nothing I could say.
Slid away from me,
and crept away from me,
tried to keep you down,
and there was nothing I could saay.
So what you're trying to say,
is you don't wanna play.
But what you want and what you need,
don't mean that much to me.
I can see your back is turning.
If I could I'd, stick the knife iiiiin, in.
You crawled away from me,
slipped away from mee.
I tried to keep a hold,
but there was nothing I could say.
Slid away from me,

tried to keep you down,
but there was nothing I could saaaay.
So what you're trying to say,
is you don't wanna play.
But what you want and what you need,
don't mean that much to me.
I can see your back is turning.

(This is love. 2x)
(This is my love for you. 5x)
