lyrics

Hey
I’ve watching you from across the room
Seeing how you grow and prosper
How I’ve grown to love you

I imagine magma eating my body
Such a burning sensation could only be caused by love
I latch on to death as it drives so near to me
At this point it's intuition, a fucking internalized routine

Creation of an imaginary hole,
Should I be ashamed

Fire is a motif that seems so inviting
But it is dampened by things so natural
And heightened to a degree so out of control
By fits of passion and catalysts unfortunate

Gerund am I, words cannot describe my state of mind
Numbers are obsolete compared to my objects
I aim to simplify my understanding
And create motivation and positivity in myself

I wait, the inevitability of the dark
My constraints are self imposed, making fate
There is no torment or sadness, just a mind
of scientific progress

Creation of an imaginary hole,
Should I be ashamed
For the remnants feel so real
A new reference frame

The morning dew makes shivers down my spine
Everything with fix itself in time
Gonna sit on the warm side of the moon
Observing all the warmth created by you

When I get better, I hope you’ll still be there
I’m fixing myself for you and for me
I swear that I’m trying, I hate that I’m losing
I want to be happy for you and for me

I wait, the inevitability of the dark
My constraints are self imposed, making fate
There is no torment or sadness, just a mind
of scientific progress

Oh in the back in my mind near an exit
I work to clear a path but my compass is broken
An amorphous black begins to swallow up my legs
I freeze; the night has won this time, and I concede
The sky opens up and an abomination appears
Consisting of all human interpretations of evil
When I think of it I flail involuntarily
For the redness is so frightening
A projection of a narrative fulfilled by my self-destruction
I constructed blue to retain my humanity
The morning is slow but sure
The beast draws ever near
Who could possibly believe these tales of absurdity
Nothing matters
Everything remains
