Dread Not
(The Neuromorphic Tragedy)

I used to know where I am
but I must have lost my feeling of solace
Its got to be this pressure of gravity
That has created this confusion

Cause I know we all glow
with magic... Like the sun
And my soul is a reflection of how I see you
'cause when I say "me", I mean "you"
And when I say "we", I mean "us"...and "Them"

And damage pairs a tragedy

but love can always be regrown

The time has come, or so we've said
To live our lives, or wake up dead
To live the lie, or simply die
slumbering peaceful in our bed

Sing a song, tried true and loud
For a beating heart in a dead man's chest
We fly the banner, high and proud
To Mark this Brutal Manifest

I've got this dream to share
A little bit of me that's unprepared
So shine a light inside of me
And don't repulse at what you see

I'm only here for you to know
This is deep inside of you too
Open wide to release your soul
Because we need to fill that hole

Don't be shy
I'm more you than you are me
And as we solve the equation
We become the singularity

I'd really like to think your ready
But you'll have to tell me
I can't push your promise now
But I swear I'm ready to believe

Don't be shy
I'm more you than you are me
And as we solve the equation
We become the singularity

Push Me Away

You lay down for bed
Its already morning
You watch the sunrise and you burn away

A curse in silence
For what will be hiding
Below the covers and burning away

Hood of our sons
Are filled with the madness
To kill each other while fading away

Living in this world today
Is gonna kill what I've got left in me
And I need something to hold on to
Baby please don't fight
Don't push me away

Step out the door
Your blasted in the face
You see a child beat
And then you turn away

There's no shock in murder
For what will be returned
By faith in justice
And turning away

So lay down for bed
Its already morning
There's no sunrise and it's no surprise

You take what you get
Because its almost over
Hold on to me baby
I need you right now

Living in this world today
Is gonna kill what I've got left in me
And I need something to hold on to
Baby please don't fight
Don't push me away

Blind Motorist

You get your one glare
With your One step
While your
Probing all about to see

Your high strung
With your, loose change
And your seconds from eternity

But there's no life in side you soul
Control has left the vehicle
And the soul begins to die

Doesn't some of this, taste too sour
Doesn't some of this, feel like a lie
Doesn't some of this make you want salvation
Doesn't some of this world make you want to die

You get your fast glance at no chance
And then your set to wonder free
You're turned out and tube screwed
Dosed to live, breathe and be

But there's no life in side you soul
Control has left the vehicle
And the soul begins to die

So tell me none of this, taste too sour
Tell me none of this, feel like a lie
Tell me none of this makes you want salvation
Tell me none of this world makes you want to die

Praise the lord of the pyramid eye
Please let me get on my knees
Light the guise and tell me who to be
Cause I need this world laid out for me

And you know there's project sectors
Like you know the open sea
And you know that there is corruption
Like you know to hope and see

Tree of Destiny

In the hours of the last call
In the last days of the west
When the green of life was fleeting
Under the autumn crest

The moon was shaped like a cradle
guarding the endless night
A glow from a glade of the deadland wood
Called me with its light

The way was dark and dreary
As i searched to find the glow
But a song on the breeze sang through the trees
And brought me to the end of the road

And I found there among the ash remains
Under the water's gaze
With brilliant crimson glowing leaves
The wondrous tree of fate

And as i beheld this awesome sight
I was startled by a sound
Woodsman came and they saw the light
And burnt the tree to the ground

Doubtful was my remedy
Clouded was my way
For the light I followed
Failed me there, never to be seen again

And without its light
I was in the dark

A Trial Of Fire

Well how many of us
Would you say are callous
And if I asked you to spell it out
What would that word be about

Right now I'm all ears
Ready to give all you take
But if you see a fool in these eyes
Well then you've made a big mistake

Cause I'm willing to watch you burn
As you throw yourself on the fire
I've had a lot of people use me
Thinking I'll fill their desires
So right now, You're cut loose
But I'm not the crutch you're looking for
I've been burned by your kind
And that shit ain't gonna fly anymore

Some people can't see
Their level of transparency
And if I asked for you to speak your mind
would there be any truth to find

These days I've lost faith
And altruistic truancy
People like you are ruining lives
Exploiting generosity

Cause I'm willing to watch you burn
As you throw yourself on the fire
I've had a lot of people use me
Thinking I'll fill their desires
So right now, You're cut loose
But I'm not the crutch you're looking for
I've been burned by your kind
And that shit ain't gonna fly anymore

Failing all that we can
And all we dare aspire
so now we're out of the pan
Into a trial of fire

Avowal Nix

We've all got growing hopes
To hit a funeral home
Sometimes your coffin fits
When you're afraid and alone

No matter what we hear
No matter who is there
When there's a crushing weight
Pushing you to despair

We've all got prayers
And empty promises
Words we dare not repeat
And countless blemeshes

And it might be best for us to disappear
Into this dirty black sky
Of this overcast life 

So many voices speaking all at once to me
And though so hard I try to be there for all of them
I know in the end that I'll let so many down
Don't go holding it to me now boy
I've done the best that I can

We are lost in the dream
With nowhere to turn
You say its happiness
But happiness starts to burn

No matter how tight we hold
We're losing grip
The soul falls to spade
While the spirit is stripped

The Grave is a lady
Made of tombstone eyes
In a chariot wearing a teasing disguise

Reaching down through the clouds
To take us a lift
Raised up to the stars
And enter into the rift

So many voices speaking all at once to me
And though so hard I try to be there for all of them
I know in the end that I'll let so many down
Don't go holding it to me now boy
I've done the best that I can

Elephant Graveyard

So please tell me
How does this body bleed
When you're crushed underneath a thumb
Even the righteous succumb

All so Wrong
Your skin locked in an artist of escape
All so wrong
A half baked book teaching you how to lie
All so wrong
The crooked world of a scandalous life
All so wrong
This disease is all too wrong

Knife to the vein
In a fountain of faith
Taking one final breath
Who said one life is a waste

All so Wrong
Your skin locked in an artist of escape
All so wrong
A half baked book teaching you how to lie
All so wrong
The crooked world of a scandalous life
All so wrong
This disease is all too wrong

With so much hate
That I face day to day
I just can't help but not to want
To end it in any way

All so Wrong
Your skin locked in an artist of escape
All so wrong
A half baked book teaching you how to lie
All so wrong
The crooked world of a scandalous life
All so wrong
This disease is all too wrong

All so wrong
Heart attack already counting down
All so wrong
The end is a puddle of blood
On the ground

The Invitation

You said to me, so obscurely
But so surely
With humor in your vanity
Don't you want to be me

Should you realize your crimes
It may be too late for you to redeem yourself
Should you realize you're in hiding
It may be too late for you to reveal yourself
And if you realize you're blind
It may be the time for you to finally see yourself
Why would I idolize this mime, no different inside than the vessels you despise

So Empty

And sadly you'd have me believe you
And humor your insanity
Why don't you follow me
I don't think so

Should you realize your crimes
It may be too late for you to redeem yourself
If you realize you're in hiding
It may be too late for you to reveal yourself
And when you realize you're blind
It will be too late time for you to finally see yourself
Why would I idolize this mime, no different inside than the vessels you despise

So Empty

Alive and Kicking

Not everybody's built the same
There's no normal anymore
Who can say who's better and who's not
When all live shares that same revolving door

The only thing we can really
Is we just don't know who's in the way
The only truth that can ever be told
Is life ain't something that can be sold

There's nobody alive that can tell you if you're right or wrong
As long as you stay true to you
And keep kicking shit you think that don't belong

All the people are trying to see
How a man becomes a king
who can say who sets the crown
When all the dynasties are bickering

There's nobody alive that can tell you if you're right or wrong
As long as you stay true to you
And keep kicking shit you think that don't belong

The only thing we can really
Is we just don't know who's in the way
The only truth that can ever be told
Is life ain't something that can be sold

There's nobody alive that can tell you if you're right or wrong
As long as you stay true to you
And keep kicking shit you think that don't belong

Falling In Hate

In this court I realize
There's not a lot that I can say
Turning over table and flipping coins
And it never seems to go my way

So I fabricate to negotiate
And I'm always making apologies
And I'm sorry that who I am
Possesses all of these qualities

Its not your fault we tried so hard
Its not you this is happening to
I could be anyone, You could be sombody else
and we'd still be stumbling down this road

So this time we'll call it a "win"
If we both survive on our own
Somethings we never let go
Somethings we never should have known

How many lies must I tell myself to please you
How many times must I lay myself before you
This distance I always cross is paved with your resentment
Its a far cry of a long shot as we unravel the enchantment of love

I'm not bitter for what we lost
I'm butter for what we gained
I can't tell you how it feels
But its probably best left unexplained

I always own up to my faults
A better man that I can be
But the child inside with a beating scar
Is mourning this catastrophe

At night as I lie awake
And I heal the wounds that got me here
I twist and turn, falling into sleep
And I hope that I never re-appear

Cause I'm aware when morning comes
I'll spring to life and there's none there
The hard fact of the spell to cast
Is always knowing the time may pass

How many lies must I tell myself to please you
How many times must I lay myself before you
This distance I always cross is paved with your resentment
Its a far cry of a long shot as we unravel the enchantment of love

Before Your Time

There's always something left unsaid
When you only speak inside your head
And there's always pieces left unused
when you rely on others to be mused

And what your tasting is the gutter life
The hard-knock gavel of your own demise
And what you're seeing is all that's left
Of an empty shell fighting for reprise

But you left this world a bit ahead of your time
Diving straight into the great divide
So with your angel wings, shine us down a light
Lets us see the dream
Let us be clarified

What you're looking for will never come
By wind or waves you are off the shore
What you claim to be, only you can see
And the rest of us could only ignore

But you left this world a bit ahead of your time
Diving straight into the great divide
So with your angel wings, shine us down a light
Lets us see the dream
Let us be clarified

Don't look back or the door will close
You got one last chance before your soul explodes

Don't look back or fall to regret
You're better off swearing You'll never forget

Don't look back
I'm begging you please
Stand your ground
And get off your knees

Got Nothing

Already been digging and I
Got a golden shovel in my hand
Digging a hole up to the sky
oh yeah, still got nothing

See no light in the tunnel and I
Got nothing to show for this
Big giant waste of my time
Oh Yeah, still got nothing

If I could only reach you
Then I could finally teach you
Then there might be a reason
For all that I have been through

Been looking for the end and I
Trying to find the fulcrum, baby
I pray I do before I die
Oh yeah, ain't got nothing

Been working hard and getting old
I've been digging for so long
All I found is fool's gold
Oh Yeah, Got Nothing

Ready To Speak

This empty canvass of a night sky hangs so weary
How could it be that this world is left so solitary
In contemplation of these constellations
These terminations leave us all in isolation

We're not alone in the void as we know it
We're breaking barriers on what it means to be alive
We've been searching for somebody else out there
We've got some demons we need to exercise

This Tree of life cannot offer all the answer
Its given way to our gazers and glancers
In this illusion of our lonely dimension
We've lost perception of our curious condition

We're not alone in the void as we know it
We're breaking barriers on what it means to be alive
We've been searching for somebody else out there
We've got some demons we need to exercise

We're living in the vacuum
Of the background radiation
If there's no one out there, what is the point of exploration
And once we know you're listening, what do we say

Once we know you're listening what do we say

Never Surrender

I used to see inside the eyes of strangers
Body mind and spirit all fatally endangered
Cause what I sued to see, Left a wound deep in me
As I began to realize that stranger is me

But now I know better

I used to feel like this body is failing
One endless night of this terminal unveiling
Sound and sight making the vibrations I know
As the people around me began to sprout and grow

But now I know better

So to my mother Gaia, my apologies
That it took us this long to beg and plead
To my father's soul, Could you forgive
The darkest lessons that taught us to live
Through the perilous journey from ape to man
Its hard to say where malice began
But we're all praying for the love of the light
To shine peace on the people of pride and might

So now I think about projection and perspective
and how isolation has left us unresponsive
And altruism is a beam of sun on a rainy day
We're just not meant to blindly obey

So now I know better

We all suspect where humanity is going
almost everyone thinks we're near the end
That tunnel of light is a brand new beginning
Offering the chance for us all to ascend

Into something better

So to my mother Gaia, my apologies
That it took us this long to beg and plead
To my father's soul, Could you forgive
The darkest lessons that taught us to live
Through the perilous journey from ape to man
Its hard to say where malice began
But we're all praying for the love of the light
To shine peace on the people of pride and might

So don't speak at a whisper
Let me hear you scream
Show me you love each other
Make reality out of the dream

Nobody Knows You

Don't tell me who I am
And I won't presume anything about you
If I'm a wave and a particle
Collapse me down with a rendezvous

What you think is based on what you know
And that changes from day to day
No one ever remains the same
Since it's only the body that's here to stay

Don't be shy to a friend unmet
And don't miss an introduction
You never know what somebody knows
Misreading their intentions
A cold stare and shifty eyes
Draws out suspicion
Ask yourself what your looking for
And turn out a decision

I'm not convinced of who you are
Not sure you could say you know as well
and if you string along anomalies
Whip me up for the show and tell

its more likely that what you say
isn't really what you mean
From now on forget how it was
And start living how you want it to be

Don't be shy to a friend unmet
And don't miss an introduction
You never know what somebody knows
Misreading their intentions
A cold stare and shifty eyes
Draws out suspicion
Ask yourself what your looking for
And turn out a decision

Believe in nothing
Dispel everything

I've got your body
Now I need your soul

Moth Into Flames

With a def mute rightly leading the power of the strong
Who will not hear the bleeding
Nor will they sing along

A goat of the powers fisher
and his fool powered hand
the powers press down on the devil
and on his forbidden contraband

I saw the world in pitch black
And snow white
And they both went their separate ways

I found the world divided into wrong and right
I only hope that one day the boundaries will simply fade to gray

Its Not a Carnival

When this ride first took me
I wasn't looking for a soul to sell
But sometimes you're better off
Just a dream on the carousel

When you can see hope around you
In gambles that never pay off
"You only live once" seems foolish
Its the journey of the moth

I've seen angels smoking cigarettes
And devils leading in the prayers
its no wonder youth is lost
If they see no body who cares

And this is where it comes from
And its already out of control
It's the feeling you don't belong
When you fight so hard to fill that hole
And this is the roller coaster
You're strapped in, no turning back
From a crash course with disaster
Its a life long fade to black

I wish that I could show you
How this ticket paid for me
Some of us came willing
Others dragged by our feet

Well some people burn money
Because they have enough to spare
Our brothers and sisters are freezing
There's no party theme to share

Maybe we're out numbered
And hoarding what we have
Because we all feeling it coming
And the clean up is gonna be bad

And this is where it comes from
And its already out of control
It's the feeling you don't belong
When you fight so hard to fill that hole
And this is the roller coaster
You're strapped in, no turning back
From a crash course with disaster
Its a life long fade to black

That's one god, In the sky
Sharing light with me
That's one sun, in the sky
Shattered across the dream
And that's all stars, looking at us
but there's no one to see
Because the circus is feral
And that's how we want it to be

Dire Straits

You and I are reaching a promise to let go
Shaking and breaking, we've lost all our glow
A shadow around us with shards on the ground
A curse that surrounds us where love should resound

Plight so deep and dreadful, yet sacred at heart
Calling this fracture that keeps us apart
And now maybe someday is over
Masking and severing this link in our hearts

Is maybe someday, and its definitely done
This waiting for nothing is over

Who can you love when they all use you up
What can you do when your heart needs a patch
Where will you go when there's no one around
why would you try when you met your match
Now who will you tell when your soul has been cut
What will they say when you're pushed out the gate
Where is the line if there's too far to cross
And why do we suffer these dire straits

Through wanton emotion and want of no more
Truth and devotion that turned into war
There's peace to be taken and can't be set aside
Don't die on me now, I need you alive

We're lost without sight and blind to desire
Drowned by your slight I am doomed to expire

And now this destruction, complexing unbound
with all these conclusions, Obscene and unfound

Who can you love when they all use you up
What can you do when your heart needs a patch
Where will you go when there's no one around
why would you try when you met your match
Now who will you tell when your soul has been cut
What will they say when you're pushed out the gate
Where is the line if there's too far to cross
And why do we suffer these dire straits

I reach out my heart, and its only for you
I'll never surrender if I can draw breath
I reach out my heart, and its only for you
Nothing can stop me, No, not even death
I'll always surround you, with love thick as flies
With rose in my hand and yes, Cupid's eyes
I'll always be with you, holding you tight
To whisper good morning
And
kiss
you
Good
Fucking
Night
