Lyrics

Map the words to deny, deny the symptoms, as 'oh yeah I'm doing fine', as I've found a most endearing psychosis
Somewhere out there there's a thrill I swear. desperate as I am I just can't strip bare and bleed the only purity I've known
But I lay with reason. found logic concieved in a walk with skin. I sleep with reason producing these monsters
Under painted catcalls as in temptation. yeah there's a key to be in, but there's no shade, no shade to blame
Waterfalls in a cool grey, and the struggle is colored grey this day. the caw of crows fills up the picture plane
Our picture plane is veiled in central neutral grey. absinthe to slight the pain. this world's this worst case color scheme
Streaks of oil stain, stained the road he crawled on homeward
Oh yeah, oh yeah he threw the switch, with some unwieldy gauge, absence of light remains
I lay with reason so logic can reap in a walk with sin. el sueno razon produce monsinios
When does this dream end? now I've missed another whole season
I've missed the fall, clearly its fallen on this land as fields once green are ochre now
This is no dream. trees have turned to skeleton, roots teased and knotted just below the surface skin of ground
Stitched between the earth and the sky struggling to hold it down
Sometimes to realize you have to lose track, lose track of sight blurring my vision makes it clear that tiny moving parts make up the whole
The image is clear, a tower is built of my own pride, I cry in the shade that if offers, the only shelter I have
When does this dream end? this is no dream. this is the waking living breathing caricature of a memory
Shamelessly I cave in to temptation of creation. but still my only thrill is empty sidewalks, silent streets
The caw of crows fills up the picture plane. this is your picture plain in central neutral grey
This world's this worst case color scheme. streaks of oil stain, stained the road he crawled on homeward
Oh yeah, oh yeah he killed the switch with some unwieldy gauge, absence of light remains
Life is lowly anonymity, in death a noble pose, a marat david
Tell me who wouldn't give their lives for such a soap box to die behind. life is lowly, lowly anonymity
In the space of a smile I found sleep. as in sorrow, so shall ye reap, as in reason so shall ye sleep
Reap the promised end to the struggle. reap every point on our linear path
Reap the smiles in time we borrow, every harvest relies on the last
Reap the promising song of the sparrow, that they learned from the birth of sea
Silenced by the threnody of the crows. reap the fallen fruit of the dogwood tree
But I witnessed in all this silence one souls definition of beauty. and a backlit smile so temporary
A facade so rich with evil history. cast in direct opposition set to overwhelm this moment to shine and sleep-
Came out on top of what was borrowed, and found all that beauty to be still
Every breath as in sorrow, reap the promised end to this path, by every image that we borrow, every harvest depends on the past
Subdivide in factions our linear parabola, we subdivide our waking hours to sleep
While guilty eyes turn toward a porchlight, enlightenment is losing sight
Somewhere out there there's a thrill I swear. in this low light town when my shift begins the streets reflecting yellow, yellow, yellow in the vacancy that overwhelms the red, red, red, your vehicle the color of expansion
"Open up." the latter just a thought to thrill me "knock knock knock" the latter just a thought to thrill me
"Red" is a four letter word. four letter invitation. now my head is locked in the direction of the sun..
Life is lowly anonymity, in death a noble prose, a marat david
Tell me who wouldn't give their lives for such a soap box to leave behind
Life is lowly, lowly anonymity. I know its all been done before, I want to do it again. I want do it again
Kill the switch
This night our journey's through the dark
Kill the switch, a welcome comatose, tonight we journey through the darkness
As in sorrow, so shall ye weep, as in reason, so shall ye sleep
