In a dark purple room
Silhouettes of your family surround you
Feel comfort in the pain
They're something of the same
Starting with a name you won't say
And no one did the dishes
And no one mopped the floor or cleaned the cobwebs
It doesn't matter anymore
In the ghost of a home
You can't remember
Lose your mind
You will find
All you need
Underneath
In a dark purple room
The tapestry unfolding all around you
They call you by your name
It isn't quite the same
As you remember
You do not speak at all
But seek to understand what you have summoned
This voice is not a ghost
But the long forgotten hallway
You belong to
Lose your mind
You will find
All you need
Underneath
The future is the present is the past
Embrace the love and give back
Every morsel of humanity
Left in your tired bones
Time is all around us
It continues to confound us
But it's malleable like any other
Metal on this mortal plane
Walk through the beauty of the rose
And find inside a light that glows
That light also resides inside of
You and I and you and I and
You don't keep your lanterns empty
Hold your light up gently
In the chaos of the universe
You'll surely find your way

Leaving Sounds Desperate

Look at all the colors
Look at all the lights
The streamers endless seamless
In the cold dark winter night
Don't look at their faces
Don't look them in the eyes
You've had too much to think today
There's no way to describe
Heavy, heavy, I can't leave
Ready for everything I see
A sudden sense of knowing
The clarity's too much
The grass is softly glowing
Some say I'm out of touch
It's only just beginning
Dawn breaks through the night
The chrysalis cracks open
The warmth of morning light
Heavy, heavy, I can't leave
Ready for everything I see
Heavy, heavy, I can't leave
Ready for everything I see

Silver rolls through fields of plenty
I'm suffering, can't you see?
Talk myself into non-existence
Sounds good enough to me
The ever-present psychedelic
Future has arrived
The nature of reality
Is only a disguise
There's no explanation
For the things I'm seeing I'm wasted
In the back yard underneath
The canopy
The only exclamation
That comes to mind right now is "FUCK"
Don't take me anywhere
I'm where I want to be
The bathroom is past the portal on the left
Don't get too lost
The sun and moon will gently talk you
Through your recent loss
So let that ego go, boy let it go
Just let it go
It's unraveling whether you
Are ready or not
There's no explanation
For the things I'm seeing I'm wasted
In the back yard underneath
The canopy
The only exclamation
That comes to mind right now is "FUCK"
Don't take me anywhere
I'm where I want to be
Smoke pours out the holes in your face
I've never felt so good
A stranger bleeds out next to me
I'd kill him if I could
The lion in the chair has been talking
Shit to me all night
About how all the planets in the kitchen
Conspire against him
There's no explanation
For the things I'm seeing I'm wasted
In the back yard underneath
The canopy
The only exclamation
That comes to mind right now is "FUCK"
Don't take me anywhere
I'm where I want to be

Hell is not a place
It's a state of being
It's a red pill and a blue pill
On a Sunday evening
Pleasure turned to pain
Beyond my wildest dreams
The fabric of reality
Is shredded at the seams
You slip inside yourself and fade away
Please just drop me off
In the darkened parking lot
I'll crawl up to the hospital
I don't think I can walk
I died and died again
Born into the same
Learn to live with suffering
And walk into the pain
You slip inside yourself and fade away

I found a way
I found a place to stay
I found a home
I think I found us a home
We're going to Rome
We're going to roam
The wild blue desert
Suck out the poison
Apply even pressure
These buttons are better than good
They're evil
Put me at ease
Everything's new to me
Sentient seeds
Sense of the sensory
When will we go
When we're off in the distance
I don't really care
Where did I go
I don't know I went missing
Then I reappeared
These buttons are better than good
They're evil

The damage has been done
Bridges smolder silently
At least we had fun
The good times
Are over now
Overrated hate
For an outdated love
Standing
In the amazing grace
Of giants in desert
Harvesting the breeze
For you and me
God is in the back yard
Underneath the canopy
Bleeding out the universe
And whispering to me
If the quiet little lies
Keep you up at night
And you're still afraid to die
Just keep breathing
No one is to blame
Everyone's to blame
Pain is nothing
But pain
Is everything
and everything's alright
Everything's alright
Even if it's all wrong
God is in the mirror
And on the radio
And in your bedroom
In the book under your mattress
With the photograph
Of your father
Holding you
When you were a child
It's the quiet little lies
Keep me up at night
And I'm still afraid to die
So I'm breathing
If the quiet little lies
Keep you up at night
And you're still afraid to die
Just keep breathing

Their finger
Is on the trigger
And I'm under the gun
More than I figured
I'd ever be
Take it from me
Take it for granted
The future is wild and bright
The lights are more vibrant at night
Ego death is real
But only if you want it
And your mind
Is the only house that's haunted
When no one is watching
I hope we all die
And go to a better place
And live a better life
Where everything is green
And every single seam
Is stitched up twice
At the absolute least
On account of that time
I went to the cleaners
Forgot to mark it "Delicate"
And my favorite pants just fell to shit
Along with my mothers jacket
This was when she had just passed
And I didn't think I could bear
To patch it
And I realized I'm just delicate
And even when life falls to shit
Sometimes you just have to patch it
Or say fuck it
And do it anyways
Take out the trash
Schedule the appointment
If you can't beat them
You might as well join them
At the end of the day
We're all just the same
Looking for a safe place to sleep
Enough food to eat
I just want to sleep

Uniting
Untying all my senses
I am dying
I want to feel the fences
Of my mind collapse
And go back
To where I started
Darling
Put away your dress
And all your make-up
You don't have to fake it
We could wake up
And go back
To where we started
Watch you walking away
Hurts me to my soul
I won't beg you to stay
Learn to love letting go
Faces
Staring back at me
Down in the basement
I just want to go outside
And taste it
The air that
I've been missing
You know me
All this phony shit
Is so below me
I was wondering
If you could show me
What it is
I've been missing
Watch you walking away
Hurts me to my soul
I won't beg you to stay
Learn to love letting go
True love
Is waking up alone
Knowing you fucked up
Your friends have all gone missing
And your loved ones
Are staring at you
Blankly

Lost Self Discovery

I want to greet the morning artificially enlightened
I can feel it in my bones we were almost there
Everything was told to me in shadows of Perspective
The floorboards grow the fastest in the captive air
I'll dive into tomorrow
Like any other day
I've eaten all the bad dreams
I'm glad you've found your way
These batteries are secular the TV's overwhelming
The water wasn't stale it was obsolete
I want to greet the morning with a heightened sense of being
But I can't find my head and I can't feel my feet
I'll dive into tomorrow
Like any other day
I've eaten all the bad dreams
I'm glad you've found your way
I'll dive into tomorrow
Like any other day
I've eaten all the bad dreams
I'm glad you've found your way
