"Educate yourself"
is what they'll always say
I'm happy to oblidge,
but don't you dare belidle me
You taught me facts, I never use
now you ask, why I'm so confused
(They'll say)
"Grow up, and accept the responsibilities"
while treating me like a child
Hypocrite, is the term we use for people like you
This system needs to change
It's outdated from it's core
now we have greater cause
we need to re-arrange the process
to project
the best
that we can be
There's so much more to learn
then then what meets the eye
Don't tell me to think outside the box
Then trap me; like a rat
We're not animals to be caged
It's clear there needs to
needs to be change
To the way our education system defines itself
We're not animals to be caged
There needs to be change
On the dawn of the new age of humankind
We're dictated by bias rules and lines
That we're told to abide
In order to pass by
"Educate yourself"
is what they'll always say
I'm happy to oblidge,
but don't you dare belidle me
Hypocrite,
is the term we use for people like you

Beside Oneself

Golden sunsets over fences
silhouettes of neighbours trees
sway by the afternoon breeze
forever at ease in me
How am I supposed to see
The beauty in the world around me
cos' I can't seem to leave my head,
with out feeling a little lost
I hate the way I pigeon hole everything
Into this hole inside my head
I'm always alone
Why do I feel like the only one
who can't make sense of
denouncing my imagination
I'm not complacent with wasting my life
on people with out a heart
Why do I feel like the only one
who still can't make sense of denouncing my imagination
why do I feel like the only one
who still gasps in awe of waterfalls
Golden sunsets over fences
silhouettes of neighbours trees
sway by the afternoon breeze
forever at ease in me
Beside oneself; outside myself
I'm a lonely soul
I'm the loneliest soul,
cursed to walked this earth alone
I'm the loneliest soul,
cursed to walked this earth alone

I've sat here for hours; comatosed
Tell me how do you even begin to explain
what it's like to see cancer tear through a loved ones brain
vision impaired
movement; hindered
Mrs. Summers, where are you?
It's been a whole damn year
since I've felt fear of anything
It's been a year since you left and I still can't breathe
The time we spent I wish I cherished
All the plans we had for us to fly
fleating like the wind
Your photoframe remains
perched on the grammarphone
your hat still covered in badges
in my childhood home
a keepsake, to keep me safe
I know you'll always guide me
and I'm sorry
that the stories you told me
faded away
The Sickness too your sight and mind
but you'll never fade from mine
Mrs. Summers, where are you?
It's been a whole damn year
since I've felt fear of anything
It's been a year since you left and I still can't breathe
The time we spent I wish I cherished
All the plans we had for us to fly
fleating like the wind
The river mouth opens to head you out
between the salt and the moore
The more I think about it the worse it weighs me down
Mrs. Summers I hope your casting lines within the clouds

Lethargy

I've been wasting away my time on this earth
toiling dirt, peddling sweat for cash
getting gashes on my wrists to lift my heart from the soil
(It doesn't nourish it anymore)
And it's getting hard to believe
That I even have a chance, to survive,
in this degree of heat
I can't believe what a travesty I've become
So I put up a wall
We are
Weary souls wandering the earth
Tired at 21
Already fearing the day we're dead and buried
In cemeteries
Oh I loathe how loathsome I am
We are, weary souls
wandering the earth
The first time that I realised that I am just a nothing
living a nothing life
it took all my strength not to snap
and that's a fact
I'm just another human
trying to survive a life I can't justify
just as bad are the corporations
stealing the air from our lungs
and poisoning the plants that we eat
do you know what the morale of the story is
It's that the worst part is
that I know that I'm part of the problem
We are, weary souls
Wandering the earth

Elixir
04:08

Blades of moonlight wisp across my face
the ignition of my pain sets aflame
salt in the air from the endless game
no matter if you weep a thousand times
you will always find
a new reason to feel dead inside
deeper with more regret the guilt cuts through my chest
deeper with more regret the guilt cuts through my chest cavity
I'll always seach through the darkest hallways
waiting for the day you'll let me in
roll the clocks back
our hearts won't race forever
our hearts won't race forever
our hearts won't race forever
please sing me to sleep
quit playing with our dreams
lose yourself in fantasy
where you can run away with me
(run away) run away with me
(run away) run away with me
Let me dream away cos' I'm nothing here
and that's how it's always been
this is what I ask of you
when you look into the mirror do you shield your beauty from your eyes?
If you feel the ground shatter, just take my hand
under the influence I'll wait for you
Within the luminescence of the stars
we'll radiate like a new dawn
like an elixir, life will be brought to you
discovering what drives you to stay alive
living by the heart
feeling your escense flow
removing the lens cap
you've been living in the darkness too long
you're not alone
Life (life will) rejuvenate
begin again and start anew
Life (life will) rejuvenate
begin again and start anew
