Not My Own

My city is not my own somebody owns it
My city is not my own who owns it
My body is not my own somebody owns it
My body is not my own who owns it
From the bottom of the sky
I can see what you would hide
Tie my hands and cloud my eyes
I still see what you would hide
My shadow seems much more real each time I taste it
My shadow moves like a dream I chase it
Ooooo eating myself
Ooooo eating myself
No more to feel
Do what you will
No more to fight
Dropping the knife
Glass on my tongue
Stare at the sun
Glass in my eye
Wanting to die
Deep in the well
Starting to swell
Finger to bone
Running to home
No more to feel
Do what you will
No more to fight
Dropping the knife
Glass on my tongue
Stare at the sun
Glass in my eye
Wanting to die
Licking the pain
Lock it away
Jumping the ship
All in the hips
All in the miss
Slip
Deeper than flood
Dripping with blood
Oh don't you know how this shit usually go
Oh don't you know how this shit usually go
Oh don't you know how this shit usually go
I think you know how this shit usually go
My city is not my own somebody owns it
My body is not my own who owns it

In Hell
04:37
|

Blood flows like a poem
Water like a song
Will I hate you now
Will you hold the gun
Fall out of bed
Don't sleep through the night
Hell is tearing out
The insides of my mind
The smell of smoke
Fire at your touch
I tried to forget
Your words in my lungs
Will you
Will you feed me too
Behind the walls the shape of a memory
I lost you
They heard
The static leave with you
Under the greenest light I still hear you
Dreaming of them too
Inside
Inside the void you call me to
Scarring your mouth the flame of the visions
Where I speak to you
Altar of comfort and pain
Washed in the holiest rain
Altar of comfort and pain
Altar of comfort and pain
Washed in the holiest rain
Altar of comfort and pain
Not for the soul to contain
Not for, not for, not for, not for
Washed in the holiest rain
Not for, not for, not for, not for
Offering sound of your name
Not for, not for, not for, not for
Not for the soul to contain
Nowhere to hide / fade into sky

Midnight
05:05
|

I don’t know
How the vision missed you
Ready as you were
To give up your life
I couldn’t know the taste
Of pain with desire
I don’t know
How I look to you
Black in my eyes and red in my smile
But you never run
Unafraid of time
After all I put you through
After haunting you
I drink fire to live
I drink fire to live in you
After all I said
After hurting you
I drink fire to live
I drink fire to live in you
Flesh and blood are only temporary
Skin and bones are only temporary
Midnight is forever forever forever
After all I put you through
After haunting you
I drink fire to live
I drink fire to live in you
After all I said
After hurting you
I drink fire to live
I drink fire to live in you
Your blood runs through me
What I see you’ll see

You took everything you wanted from me
You took everything you could hold
You took everything you wanted left me
With the pieces
And now when I try to unfold
Just wanted one thing for myself
And now when I try to
I don't get shit from you
Sink into my room
Sink into my tomb
Sink in
Into my room
Into my tomb
Into my womb
Sink into my room
Tell you
How you already drained my blood
How you never can take enough
You're too fragile to know my secrets
Sink into my room
Into my tomb
Into my womb
Into my room
Into
Why do you need to know
How dangerous I am
How ugly
This cord around my neck
Softer than your hands
It holds me
The last thing that I give to you is death
You were not ready to
Imagine all my truths
Outside you
If it makes you happier
I never existed
Before you
The last thing that I give to you is death

Passage
03:48

In the deep my home is water
I held its weight around me for so long
I rise to conjure
I pull you under
I turn my scars against you
Turning myself into blue
In the water I am stronger
My spirit knew at once that we’d been here before
But I am crying for you
Like a bitter rain
Give me your hand
Show you the way down
Give me your hand
My soul it breathes in water
Hungry for the flesh it used to hold
My spirit move like water
Cutting through the land it used to roam

Freeze State
03:14

A summer fire leaves no marks
Teeth grinding into gold dust and
Twisted with blood inside and out
Twisted with blood inside and out
A summer fire leaves no marks
Teeth grinding into gold dust and
And sprinkled on a painting or a
And sprinkled on a painting or a tongue
Let me out
You can’t give me
What I give me
Let me out
Cut across
Falling off
A war against the things I felt
Fought by the things I thought and then
A hand to sow them in the soil
A knife to cut them down again
Let me out
You can’t give me
What I give me
Let me out
Put me down
I feel safer when
I feel empty
Let me out
Cut across
Falling off

Scene Between
06:24

Starin’ at the wall
Thought I heard a knock after all
I can’t recall
What’s real anymore
Stare through the screen
Peripherally a ghost unseen
Something’s still stuck between
My mind and them
Humming machine
Schizophrenic scene
Glued to the bed
Nothing’s changed at all since those
Words that you said
Inspires only dread
I thought I knew what they meant in my head
But these thoughts aren’t mine
These thoughts aren’t mine
Something malfunctions with their designs
Wasted away
In a room for a day
To slow decay
All of them found a way not to stay
Lethargically lifting eyelids
The weight of yesterday
Of time, it drifts, a routine forbids
And then and only then
Does it pass us by in fragments too small to see, perceived by nobody but me
It’s so lonely
Indifferent to the plea
Lethargically lifting eyelids
The weight of yesterday
Of time, it drifts, a routine forbids
And then and only then
Does it pass us by in fragments too small to see, perceived by nobody but me
It’s so lonely
Indifferent to the plea

If I Wasn't Here
05:40
|

If you thought you seen me drifting
Lifting from the ground so listlessly
Helps to know what’s just existing
When it drops from under, spreads like disease
Walk away, a bubbling brain drain
Stains the present like a bad disguise
Saying I’m just fine, it’s only lies
If I wasn’t here would they see?
If they go, watching from below
Then it slows everything we know
Living a life filled with plateaus
Wonder under when, if thunder covers men
And it leaves nothing left here
Fear that they don’t see their
Zombiefied frontier
And it threatens to stay here
As you look behind
You feel resigned
If you thought you seen me drifting solo
Lifting from the ground so listlessly, so
Helps to know it though
What, it’s just existing in a bubble
Walk away, a brain drains the stained disguise
Saying I’m just fine
