None of us noticed The floor caved in and we were trapped underground With no foreseeable way out A drunkenness of sorrows We're not thinking about tomorrow That's okay I'm staying here till then Romanticizing suffocation A rush of comfort in numbness We never thought would end We knew some day we'd die so lets forget about time We don't need a reason or a compass to forget about our lives Lets write a couple songs Lets watch a couple shows Let us burn the daily sacrament And replace our natural bellows We'll have deep conversations Late into the night In between our toxic lingerings We're together in the house of lost souls None of minded We'll wait some years to plant these seeds in the ground It doesn't matter how I'll stay here where I'm safe in my own dystopia My ever shifting meanings kept all to myself

The Gene 02:50
Historically, I could never quite see The disease softly looming over me I tried to suppress it, not to make a scene But I've seen Yeah I've seen I've seen exactly where that leads Social Withdraw Where do I draw strength? Since I appear to have given up To seek the common enemy The genetic deformality (whatever) The force that stole the voices from my little family Deviate down A couple of notches I'll lose track of how far I'd fall Surreptitious The endless cycle Of earths decrepit and small.

Kids on the Playground Infants crafting backwards memories There will come a time Or so we're told Of when we'll grow old Where does it go? It's so fast yet it's so slow Washed out in the rain They say things'll feel different but they always feel the same So here's my thesis I wrote it in crayon Cuz every year I still feel so small While everything else gets bigger Staring at the sun Jumping into leaves Crafting memories

Beneath the canopy There's no breeze It's all water and pebbles and leaves This place Were we go to roam Our house Starts to feel like a home away from home I want to feel okay But all these fucking little things keep getting in the way I'll try to pretend it's a game But that doesn't take away the shame I know You're standing there My gaze averted But I still feel your stare This is not a test I'll focus on what's important and ignore the rest This is not a test Our wings never worked, their never was a nest This is not a test I did my Very best This is not a test I swear, I swear I did my very best This is not a test
5.
When you woke up you found yourself Staring at the ceiling Can't quite remember what you were gonna do today I large mess to sort through With no place to start A task you've yet to get to Of which you've been begging yourself It's not just a matter of time These things don't solve themselves This mountain deep inside You'll have to climb, but never by yourself The bees and your school buzzing You're sitting here, alone Can't quite remember what you came here for Frozen in time Without relief Still thinking about home About what a soul needs
6.
With everything I find appealing A twinkle in the sky Though too often obscured by the city lights It became to easy to forget These constellations span forever And there's so much to see In the moonlight And darkness is a concept of the mind What were they trying to say? In the allegory of the cave? Cuz I swear the shadows dance around In high definition these days Well I'm embarrassed to admit There are some things in my own backyard That I've yet to explore myself I didn't take the time when i was young I remember that I still am A strange, aged disguise Always keeping in mind Just how naive I still can be
