A broken foot on tempered glass temptation walks a weathered path from below the beaten sand comes hungrily a reaching hand While travelling discovered lands We disappointed shaky plans Draping from a snaking branch A birthing noose begins to hatch Don't tell me that you can't begin to listen to your heart again If you were trying you would find it screaming out within Searching out the middleman a dizzied head will slowly spin Living out a melody like snapping strings on violins laying on the island entertaining thoughts of violence Had you thought to hide this You could have escaped the childish Don't be afraid to brandish your opinions you can manage the merging of the marriage all your hell begins to perish commissioning a picture, promise you I'll never vanish Every time I miss her, have to force myself to action Promised that I'd banish all the feasting and the famine Level out my heart and start chasing down a passion Staring at a quasar, losing myself in the art of interstellar expeditions to achieve the stars As I lay down on the clouds This gravity can't bring me down I'm burning with a fired crown These stars will never burn me out The dark and black is burning white my irises bleeding the light I'll never face the fight or flight I'm limitless as satellite infinite or definitely cannot see the end of it From way up here a heart has never seemed more delicate How I love the innocent but entropy is immanent Intimate in spirit fuelled by the indefinite Staring at a quasar, losing myself in the art I'm forging my eternity I'm one with the stars

Sitadel 04:12
I've been sleeping with the devil in my bed because Unless I'm in between the sheets everything I see is red and I've been sleeping with a monkey on my back for I'm Addicted to the feeling of being under attack I've been sleeping with skeletons in my closet hiding dirty little secrets that I'm only halfway honest I've been sleeping with only one eye closed cause I've been feeling so naked underneath my clothes I've been all alone inside a cell I call my home Counting down the days til I cave away this cornerstone You're breaking down the doorway Bend the bars and reach to pull me away I've been sleeping with a thousand different thoughts Each one reminds me more of the battles you have fought I've been sleeping with the hopes of staying down But I wake up as soon as your echoes come around I've been sleeping so much less lately I'm so worried I'll destroy us both with all my worrying I've been sleeping with only one eye closed cause if you decide to go I'm still watching for your ghost I've been all alone inside a cell I call my home Counting down the days until I cave away this cornerstone I see you down the hallway Bend the rules, reach through to pull me away I've been sleeping But I'm not getting rest I've been sleeping Like the heart inside my chest I've been sleeping So I don't have to be awake I've been thinking maybe it's time that starts to change I've been all alone inside a cell I call my home Counting out the ways I caved away my cornerstone I've been sleeping all alone I've been thinking on my own I've been feeling sticks and stones I've been bleeding out at home I've been sleeping all alone I've been sleeping all alone I'm here sleeping all alone

Counting countless parts of me I'm lying so courageously Honestly, I think I owe myself an apology How can we all be blindly following, solemnly, we all gave up our autonomy Caught up in traditions, that clash against our freedoms We fight a case against ourselves with our own made up reasons When the shoulders get cold, we stand outside freezing There's no growing together for there's always fear of treason Pick a side, choose a uniform there is no in between There's no other way for you to make it in this scene Say goodbye to yourself and goodbye to your dreams Welcome to the world where there is no make believe When the lights all flicker out and you've got nothing left to see Promise that when it all goes down you'll still remember me It's so dark and cold inside this shell you call a soul If you even wanted could you crawl out of this hole? No one else is here, it's only me and you I am the voice inside your head that slowly eats at you It's so hard to live inside a world of doubt when every word out of your mouth escapes to bring your own self down Now, how could you let yourself drown, think about the scar you leave upon your hometown They say it's better in the morning but you wake up even worse Simply call it curse and idly think about a hearse When your eyelids flicker back and you remember all these words Does a promise mean anything if you're the only one that heard? The sun is so far gone and so I can't be here for long I don't even know if everything I say is wrong I've thought about this for my whole lifelong How can I convey that I just wanted to belong? I stand outside against the rain Feeling every drop against the skin I think of every word I say And whether I'd say them again
