Can you hear me calling
Is it too vague to interpret
I just want you to know this
Belt it from the darkest depths
Who we are
Self inhibited touch of itself
Chains and bars
Blind that we are the cause to escape
To find where it all began
Would be to deny how we got to the end
The outside is caving in
When lessons of life make the fog seem so dense
To say I know
To say I’ve grown
Tell me how to gauge
Oh, will I see the bold
writing on your face
Taking in stride
Faking your pride
Let it subside
You’re not fooling anyone
Playing deprived
Barely alive
Truth will arrive
Connection outweighs the guise
Joining our eyes
Expelling the lies
Making the ties
Meaning the things we say
Never to bide
Fester inside
Time to decide
Hide in your walls or step free
One sided and hardly there
We’re preoccupied by a thought sinking in
Convictions that don’t adhere
A simple reply to dispose of yourself
I feel you pull so far away
Disregard for what I say
A soft indifference, let our elements decay
Say what helps us
Say what melds us

Nothing will never die on me
No one will keep my sanity
Jaded, I keep them far from me
Shaded by what is solitary
I gave too many parts of me
The light inside is clouded by my poignancy
To break it
To make it
To put life in my eyes
You take it
Forsake it
Remoteness in disguise
I must believe what I can’t see
Why would you want different from me
(We say that we’re alright
Contending our own fight
So tell me you’re always there and leave me be)
I’ve never been perceptible
Always denied to fit the mold
I doubt the thoughts regarding me
So little bared for you to see
The guards are stationed, no relief
I squander my complexion, forge your own belief

Time, falling behind
Climb into the casket
Watching age surround us
Our faces bear our toils
The fear’s compounding
All we have, hoping to make our mark before the end
Sense the void around the bend
Passing nights, fading light
None are granted pause
Stains we leave behind us, recall
Slave, my grief will always haunt me
Strive to be eventually nothing
Will I make my mark before the end
Sense the void around the bend
Cuts to bind and ties to mend
Sense the void around the bend
Part the blinds
Keep in mind
There’s a time
I won’t be here
Undefined
Breathe the grind
Living like
I’ll always be here
Mired too deep
Fleeting contention
Might not be
Worthy of mention

Things have always been this way
Not sure there’s any blame to place
I’ve let it rule for way too long
And tried to keep it off my face
My world is inside
The weight of my pride
Regret is my guide
Nowhere to hide
It’s working to appease
But killing what was me
At least there a time when a sliver of light could be seen
I’d hold it close until it faded
My fondest memories
My tiny little waves in a sea of despondency
The change is in my eyes
Reflection doesn’t lie
This feeling, all that’s left is a sigh
My insides are tangled
and already beyond capacity
But they just keep swelling
and I just keep pouring it in
Inside, outside
Nothing feels the same
I’ve been shoving it down, letting it rot
This compost of my life
Shaking me, breaking me
It will never die
Backlogged, stacked high
Another needle in my eye
Let me show you why

Lyrics by Erik Livesay
Bleeding heart
Vision of a perfect star
Here we are
Compare our scars
Are you near
I am fear
Are you here
All that’s dear
Are you me
What will be
Can you see
Am I changing
All that I want is a soul that’s refined
Take it apart and restore what feels right
Will I realize, know what I am
Is it too hard to tell
See the darkness for the light
Saving a bullet for the blight
Taming a god when it storms
When it’s cold, will I be warmed by insight
Where will I be
When my efforts finally rise
Save your head
Lucid is something I can’t say I am
I see it soaring overhead
In the end
Can’t be someone else
