nothing feels stable to me sunlight lingers like a warning now i tried to find a type of light that could guide me but it’s blinding every season’s the same seems like life just tends to be this way what was unthinkable is now a part of life you’re used to but there’s no excuse learned to accept what just is nothing matters but the news unfit we have to change our ways but recognize there’s not much time and it’s passing by

Elixir 02:41
i was amazed by the pain in my eyes when i drank the elixir of life all of history’s secrets mapped out like the stars i was deceived by the pleasant disguise of eternal life nothing to kill or die for and no purpose too i was dazed by the glare of the sun when it struck stuck on the objects of living affection and a fading past i could not decide by the fading sign of light i was hypnotized and hopeless but now betrayed by the passage of time and an empty earth fever as warm as the ocean dead luck i could not decide by the fading sign of light i was hypnotized and hopeless no more searching no more purpose waited my whole life to walk the water’s surface no more reason no more seeking waited my whole life to see the end of seasons could mind plus time make dust more divine i was amazed when it hit lord of an empty planet for all it’s worth blessed to be one whose name was written in dirt

If the Sun 02:48
if the sunlight falls free to the ground don’t miss out buying up all of the clouds i sold you your light and shelter i sold you the the only way you can live the sun’s on the market and the people can’t stop it if the wind wants to sing i’ll charge you to hear it if the rain wants to fall i’ll drown it out won’t you guess my name i’m a system of shameless self-regard i’d suffer the darkest night i’d die for the right to own you i’d suffer to sell my own happiness i’d smile if the sun goes dark

Hell is Fine 03:14
hell is fine or at least so far over time you’ll learn how to expect nothing from no one but yourself forever hell is fine or at least so far never mind it feels like common sense your ideals or thoughts meant nothing for nothing every day is longer than the last every day is longer than the last every day a million dreams never come to pass i know what you’re asking the question is fair if life’s been so cruel and so kind then what sense is there in drawing a line

have you seen white reefs red seas a world at peace mercy me you miss the ghosts for the trees that finally seem to breathe believe in no sight or silver seed there’s no more blood to bleed it seems the planet is free to feel complete release boiling seas a quiet slow scene finally serene sleep well it’s not your fault soon there’ll be no story to tell
7.
Day is Long 04:00
worked you to death for no purpose day is longer than that no sense doubting the math could you be more in debt something you said once about prophecy being profit seeking you must pick a side to be on sometimes it pays to be wrong no one else can set you free now getting distracted when you don’t hoping they got you on your own fear it’s all too plain to see now everything will turn to stone setting you up to die alone

Mantissa 02:17
walking alone in the forest of living brandishing paper thin blades shaving away all the flakes of our youth and the careless good looks of our friends thinning the months from the branch of our lives the carving knife steady as time skinning the bark that splinters his fingers exposing the pulp of our age oh mantissa hollowed out picking the scraps of the twigs of our lives exhaling the dryness of death colder than time, the breath of our eyes will mist until nothing is left oh mantissa and time as it stands has stripped you to dust joyless and tired and cold wondering aloud how you ever grew old just count all the rings on your soul
