lyrics

I’m starting to get sick of the human form,
My own shape and face and being.
Waiting like a wallflower, trapped society
An outlaw forever more!

I’ve been listening to the sounds surrounding me
Birds speaking breaths, wind singing
Water churning eternally beside foreign shores.

I thought of drowning as a choice I didn’t have to make
And that with my life I could do so much more.
Cause I can’t understand the content and satisfaction
Some people get from opening up their back door.
Or how easily people forget, there’s a whole world outside their head
So much more within/without to discover.

This phrasings infinite compared to the confines of your skull
Those thin walls of flesh protecting the light you so adore.
But your eyes will go blind eventually like mine
And those friendships you have made will all be erased.

Displaced lights inside faces,
Forgotten figments left in time
Permanency painted behind, shadows playing on walls

(Don’t you ever try to run, don’t you ever try to hide
Your skin is a prison and will fuck with your eyes I feel
Sensations with my senses and I know that I’m alive
And the only thing that’s real inside’s the incorporeal mind)

Prepare yourself to final accept fate,
Remember how infinitesimal is your reality;
You just got to be the best sports guy you can be.
