Currently on my way down from the terrace I can tell you why if you pull the curtain Back up on the terrace I'm alone, where I belong Fall in love with the sound of whispers Surroundings appear to glister Stare into a thousand identities Currently on my way down from the terrace I can tell you a thing or two about this appearance Consolation arrived: It's a sybarite religion I fell in love with a thousand faces I fell in love back on the terrace Straighten out my thoughts, confront the missing traces Redirect my focus and remove myself from stasis Would you like to join in? (x6)

Free me Release me, the senses I can't (x2) Bring me to what I am They still cross our skies It's easier with time They still cross our minds It's easier with time It's piling up and tumbling down A grotesque quote my ears wrap around It's your fault I hope, but I know it's not sound A suppressed quote And fear drumming down My fleshy face bound, it weathers and flairs At the grave we impart our cursory care Flowers constitute collective nightmares Actions which speak volumes for despair I've been yearning for a better year The streets cracks are scars

I saw you lost in the stairwell of my mind Found you balled up You were mesmerized by the passage of time Ascend, descend several flights Resounding footfall throughout the night The moon shone bright in your eyes Compelled towards a towering shrine Cast off the shackles The past pulled you by twine, no longer keeps you confined Behold your new plan: revival Memories can tend to call the shots Indulging poignant thought Where the years drift out of sight Present tense was lost, and the fine print might present itself in a bubbly font Seizing the depths of your mind Fretting and frowning beneath the surface, distraught And now I was lost Drowning in spaces you did stride The “I” in time began to wander off Found yourself lost in the forest, you signed While speaking to her, you confide In the sound of her sobbing and subtly sewing imagery of dimming lights drowned in black ink like the sky So slowly we embrace, we’re bound by fright To think I believed in that trite Memento from a dark era of my life Lifestyles sold in a package, require no thought A fictitious rot, commonly sought after by the isolated lot Myself included, I write to better inform myself of the ought I must approach in my time Such limited time on this rock Suspended and dying

Phased out and hazy My body feels lazy Start seeping from the tree hallow Nature is so overwhelming, green swallows the setting Blinding me with it's hue That picture perfect people pleasing hack is on his way out And pretty petals perched upon the trees begin to rain abound Parity purports to disengage, the things that led us down Prioritizing petty words which ring and never fade out Try to get to your train on time (x2) (This is a bout) Try to get to your train on time (x2) (This is a bout)

I try to remember yesterday I wonder if I'll remember yesterday a year from now Some days it's just best to sleep in And that will change as I carve my own path I am a square peg shoved into a round hole I will find somewhere I belong (x2) I am standing here without a camera as time flies by What a waste of air I tend to forget I am a human, lit my clothes on fire That was not me. Where is he? I'm still searching for where I belong Purpose is not a destination; take my time, I'm strong (x2) I could leave my body forever (x6) And never return
