Constitutions
05:57
|

My constitution
is fading I know
but how to define it
how does one grow
so what do we have here
the fading of faith
when all i can ask of you
is to look past my traits
what are you doing
where did you go
my resolution
to make all this grow
look past myself and see
the start crash down
im not asking you
i ascend you now
i align
nearer to me
i don't believe I'm wrong

Even Further
03:02
|
|||
weighted down
i fear the one solution
has been repressed
and abandoned by confusion
looked out
and traced
to nowhere at all
to nowhere
assumed and closed
faltered and remembered
the far away
the near
the one eyed calendar
and time dispersed
in many
the profound
sudden divine
delight is far
mourning even further

Sign Short
04:15
|
|||
Disgruntled by truth
I meant to ask you
to ask
A sign short of proof
placed by my own thought
as if set by rule
Id hate to lose now
to lose
how easy it is to look down
but how hard it is to lose
awake from inside
deliver your sensations
sewed seams untie
begin to arise
unrest your body
its mine

A Man You Will
03:12
|
|||
A man you will
a name that you can change
some letters at your leisure
a real knack to rearrange
minor details
distance by degree
your expected sign of sorrow
won't be repaid by me
forgive yourself
for sleeping
for it was I who couldn't rest
with the thought of you pleading
to a christ you won't confess
pour over what was written
return before its found
and let a dying light shine from you
but when asked don't make a sound
morning was sacred once
mourning it never was worth
longing has limitations
you've run out of dreams
once romantic sentiment
turned ghastly and obscene

An Alternate Display
05:49
|
|||
Living in front of future
believed to be concrete
there are ways around the old days
still heavy when weak
a past presents itself
face similar in build
displaying an alternate
that he must self fulfill
I'm alone
i am nobody
understand me
understand me
let me go
birthright skipped the firstborn
a landscape standing bare
to fill by trial and consequence
to still be standing there
create a name of meaning
one that can compare
new age circumcision
to late to reflect or quit
I'm alone
i will be somebody
understand me
i must understand me
i mustn't let me go

Receive
04:49
|
|||
Forsake me to your god
I forgot to tend what makes it grow
at the time I was only guessing
by the look you signed in your eyes
had it cited mine
to see where you lie
to see where you lie
I've been blind by your return
and i looked aside
i looked aside
but how unassumed
i waited for again
in align with your light
its colors bleed all the way down
all the way down
i can't not believe in an end that i receive
in an end that i'll receive
in your room by your bedside table
theres a book you're afraid to open
but turn to the last page
turn to the last page
and you'll find my name written
and you can curse it and dot it with an i
that we'll come
to find a way again
and breath in my side
and receive
and receive

You'll Leave Me Again
04:49
|
|||
What once was ours
and held so tight
through the restless hours
and sleepless nights
a cold white flesh
surrounds your lips
your crown descends
I've lost my grip
and stretch forth your right hand
you'll leave me again
what haunts me now
when left to stir
not-a-one sweet thought
as you return
and stretch forth your right hand
you'll leave me again
