Define Normal

Cast away, to the wind
This life is static, emblematic, disciplined
It’s all so faint
It seems like propaganda is our patron saint
Reaching for the sky
Why do I attach myself to this mindless attraction
Leaving life behind
I can free myself from this senseless reaction
Tell me what you think is normal
Tell me what you think is strange
Tell me why you think it’s normal
To sit around and wait for change
Bend the light to see a change (in your life)
Start a fire to feel the warmth (in this night)
You’re living just to chase a dream
While fight with your self it seems
The noose that holds you up is the same as mine
And it cuts you off
I wanna be stripped of the madness
The cycle that complies
And it cuts you off
From a familiar feeling that
Infects you from inside
Therapy, oh therapy
Can you fix this broken mind
The blurry line of symmetry
Gets clearer over time
Tell me what you think is normal
Tell me what you think is strange
Tell me why you think it’s normal
To sit around and wait for change
Bend the light to see a change (in your life)
Start a fire to feel the warmth (in this night)
You’re living just to chase a dream
While fight with your self it seems
The noose that holds you up is the same as mine
Bend the light to see a change
Start a fire to feel the warmth

Changeling

We’re not the same kind
You’re not the person who I used to know
The webbing you’re spinning is etched into my skull
I watch you scratch
The surface of lies
Slowly but surely I see through your disguise
You’re wearing someone else’s skin
But you know their words, and you know them well
The mask you call your face is cracked
Concealed but I can tell
Cause I can see underneath
The skeletons that sleep under your bed
Are clawing up the frames to take you instead
I’m putting some distance between us
Liberation
So practice what you preach
There’s something strange with the way you speak
A catacomb
When you move, every nerve inside me peaks
How many bodies do you keep,
Half human, half monster
How many times have you danced with death
Take my hand and steal my breath
Farther and farther
From the light you stole me from
Farther and farther
As I feel my body going numb
This empty space is comforting,
At first and then I realize
This is my eternity
You’re wearing someone else’s skin
But you know their words, and you know them well
The mask you call your face is cracked
Concealed but I can tell
Cause I can see underneath
So put me back inside my body
We’re not the same kind

Kerosene

Liars and thieves,
Corrupt politicians all hungry for power and wealth
Bigots and lawyers all hide under cover
The color of skin grants them health
What have we become
A species entitled
What have we become
A constant mistrial
What have we become
A guilty denial that threatens to push us aside
Ms. Kerosene, would you set me free
You finally listen to me you’ll see
Ms. Kerosene would you open your eyes
You can rid the world of this god damn disease
So when the records straight and you can see the hate that you create
When all the lies that spill out from your mouth are mirrors of your faith
When your stage of futile infancy has led you to defeat
I hope you feel the sting of mutiny
The shadow of deceit
What have we become
A species entitled
What have we become
A constant mistrial
What have we become
A guilty denial that threatens to push us aside
Ms. Kerosene would you bring me to my knees,
Intoxicate my bloodstream
Set the world on fire
With your desire
You can recreate and fix the seams
Kerosene, would you set me free
You finally listen to me you’ll see
Ms. Kerosene would you open your eyes
You can rid the world of this god damn disease
Burn with no remorse
Scorch, alight, the earth
Burn with no remorse
The cure is in the curse
Ms. Kerosene would you bring me to my knees,
Intoxicate my bloodstream
Set the world on fire
With your desire
You can rid the world of this god damn disease

Focus

Sitting in confusion and watching
The way the color fades from your perfect face
Or the way your body takes defensive shapes
Just take this blade and cut your binds
That are tying you to this prison, are you
Trapped inside the dark, you call home
And you cry out
I’m not better than you
And I don’t know if I’m better than this
Cause everyday I fight to exist
Let the wind carry me away
Slow and steady you move in decay
And the substances you consume are weighed
Chase it down with this liquid courage
Cause the infection spreads, and grips your breath
As you clutch to the edge of loneliness
Embrace my hand and step into the light
To the light
And you cry out
I’m not better than you
And I don’t know if I’m better than this
Cause everyday I fight to exist
Let the wind carry me away
And could the earth guide me through to the grave
There’s a paradise, at the end of this desert
It’ll show when the sand falls from your eyes
From your eyes
You’re not better than me
I’ll never know if you’re better than this
Cause everyday, you fight to exist
Let the Wind carry me away
Let the Earth guide me back to your place
Where the Wind carries me away
Where the Earth guides me back to the grave

Surrender

To the stars, I look once again
Wandering the home I thought I lost
Vagrants and nomads, vagabonds
They shared the light that burned, from the pyre
Lit by faith
"This is the home that I missed?
This sinking temple of malice, the profound
Image of life"
Cursed to wander purgatory, guided by the stars
For a chance
For a chance to see the ones I miss
Surrender
Surrender to the night, lest the sun come again
To touch your skin
The fever, that's struck into your bones
It makes them callous, fragile and weak
The sand that seeps through my lungs
So coarse yet still familiar
The person I think of in spite
Means nothing to me in this place
Where my soul burns bright
Where my wings can spread
Where this aura of gold can shine
I am the King of sands
One, by, one
The stars will die
Let, the, dark
Consume me now
To, the, dawn
The sun will fall
Ever, lasting
Consumed by the night
One, by, one
The stars will die
Guide, me, Home
