concrete cage

(sample)
"The source of all creation, good and evil,
now funny enough, the source of all, is you."
go ahead and try to count the empty houses
sure, you can try, but your time is wasted
just move along, don't question it
nothing's wrong, and this is how it is
the winding roads form a concrete maze
through a grid of houses that all look the same
livin in fear is the price we pay
for choosing to stay in a concrete cage
and every time you look to me
I only have one thing to say
just move along
just move along
stop
just stop
all the little voices sayin,
all the little voices singin
stop
just stop
I know you got so much to do
but please I really need you to just
stop
(sample)
"I have unlocked and discovered a secret
to living in these bodies that we hold.
The secret...is laughter."

riders of the night
driftin through constellations
will i see you on the other side,
at the end of the conversation?
roamin through the pack
slippin into a haze
i try to find my way on back
to the comfort of your gaze
but I've lost my grasp again
givin into my temptation
there's no way i can win
in the midst of my impatience
the bands have come and gone
my fingers sift through blades of grass
as i lay out on the lawn
i know my chance has past
and the worst of all is what's left unsaid (x2)
It was only lust in the eyes of friends (x2)
and the worst of all is what's left unsaid
it was only lust in the eyes of friends

am i the only one to see the bars
that line the walls and the windowpanes
so full of deceit, hidden behind the veil of the eyes
there is only heat, and nothing else
I just can't take the pressure
we just move too fast
and through this reflection
i only see a mask
you know you're on your own
and you know the reason
you're always on your own
better get used to leaving
I got it figured out
I don't need your help
there's no reason to shout
just keep it to yourself
I don't need anyone to tell me that it's all just a waste of time
you see, I've given everything away just to get some peace of mind
and i feel it coming, the clouds are rolling in
but there's no point in running when the storm comes from within
I just can't take the pressure
we just move too fast
and through this reflection
I only see a mask
you know you're on your own
and you know the reason
you're always on your own
better get used to leaving

oh i've been dreamin for a long time
lookin for something to fill me up
and i been driftin on streams of light
lookin for somethin to take me from this
just keep it bright, and keep it loud
we'll be content without anybody else around
wrapped up in lies, we hide our eyes
and go on living in the shadow of our former lives
but for now, i'll just get by, wasting time on my own design
and i'll just turn away to my own place, left without a trace
and i just want to close my eyes
cuz my mind is sinkin slowly, and i'm wishin we could only
slow down and just take our time
though desire's always achin, we'll destroy it with impatience
but there's nothing i can do
yeah there's nothin i can do
x2
I came to see the end of my life as I know it, as soon as you showed up
i only needed a friend to lift me out of that cage and show me on my way
and finally i see that there's nothin to run from but my own conundrum
and i just want to close my eyes
cuz my heart is sinking slowly and i'm wishing we could only
slow down and just take our time
but desire's always achin and I'm running out of patience
There's nothing I can do

beaches
05:32

raspberry skies bounce off the crashing tide
and green melts to gold as mountains roll into the shore
and it's here i press my toes in the sand
yes it's here i see just what i am
And the birds are calling out my name
and they call for me to float away
but my feet are planted firmly on the ground
am i free when to this earth I'm bound?
oh how can I just let go
and let the corners of my mind unfold
when my body keeps on taking its hold
why do i carry this weight?
nature's indifferent all the same
here comes the breeze
palm trees wavin down at me
and they say out there is another shore
but I can't believe there's so much more
in a vessel so tender
my timeline is so slender
must i dive into these rapturous skies
just to see where else the sun will rise?
oh how can I just let go
and let the corners of my mind unfold
when my body keeps on takin its hold
why do i carry this weight
nature's indifferent all the same
all the same
at the edge of the world
the ocean expands forever more
how have we come so far
to still just be grains upon the shore?
x2
I just want to let go
oh, I just want to let go
you know that I just want to let go
oh, I just want to let go
x2
but I can't
I can't let go just yet
with so many beaches I am yet to know
there's always a plane to take me where i want to go
i really want to go away
take me away
summer's gonna fall despite the words you say
despite the words you say
so why do you carry this weight?
nature's indifferent all the same
