Everything

(This is an emergency report. Officials state the recurring sequence of disfunction in the DS Central Power Core is beginning it's destabilized orbit. The Dominant Corporation stands behind their statement that there is no danger, but warns that the core will not be at peak efficiency and may shut down for undetermined lengths of time. Attempts to permanently correct the problem have been unsuccessful. It is advised that all personnel evacuate the core region until further notice. When normal operating procedure begins, you will be notified.) 

​

The time is closer Than you thought 
You know events can change

and rip you apart

And what about the secrets that you guard
They don't know your fate

and you can't tell them

Do you believe in you
You can't do anything
Do you believe in you
You must do everything, everything, everything

There are some things you can not allow
Never turn your back

the world could end right now
And what if you fall in again
There's a chance that

you may cross the horizon

Normality
3:24 

Can't do anything right now 
One wrong means nothing right
Stop everything, start the presses

Somebody is out of mind 

​

I can't see anything in your head
What makes you think

you see something in mine
You observe something out of your ordinary
That may be a normality of mine 

​

One more reason to live inside
Keep hiding stay in and play
Cover up and then throw up
Good enough to go away

​

Are you looking straight

out of your own eyes
Is your right the right right
We should all wear a pair of your inputs
With perilous sensitivity sight

Departure
1:06 

(Voices)

"It's too simple to understand."

 "If you could see through flesh and bone."  "Waiting takes too long."  

"Don't blame me for what you see." "Happiness is too long a word."  

"You have to find your own way."

"Love is too short a word,

it's too easy to lose."

Unrecognizable
4:02
You give me no chance to live my life
You show up and tear down all my tries
You make me

Unrecognizable, Unrecognizable

You leave me mangled pieces of my self
Pick them up have to put them on the shelf
You make me

Unrecognizable, Unrecognizable

 

Haven't you done enough damage.
Haven't you had enough fun.
I feel your pull on my mind.
Wish I had somewhere to run.
Pain, Pain, Go Away

I'll stay here until you leave me all alone
I should care that you strip me to the bone
You make me

Unrecognizable, Unrecognizable

You give me no chance to live my life
You show up and tear down all my tries
You make me

Unrecognizable, Unrecognizable

Locked doors I'll stay behind.
Closed doors I try to hide.
Kill the lights! Start the fight!
Just try to stay alive.
Pain, Pain, Go Away

Promise/Behind You 
1:58
(Voice of Pain:

I promise I'll come back!

So you can be happy...when I leave.

Again and again and again....)

Look out

Choking down fun

and you'll find they'll find you
Look behind your head

and you'll know they're behind you

Rolling down your mind

and you know they're going to
And what's the one place

that you need to get to ...

​

Look out better be fast,

and you'll jump and run
And you better be fast,

you know you better just run
Cause you better be fast,

cause they're right behind you
Better run

won't you leave me,

leave me alone now

Want to be alone

but you know you're going to
The sun comes out

and you know it can burn you
Never the same

when you run It can't do
Check it out fast,

they're right behind you
Check it out fast,

you better run ...

Behind you
Right now,

you better run he'll find you
No one will find you
Know they're behind you

And you'd better be fast
and you'd better run 
And you'd better be fast
You'd better run
You'd better be fast

Darkened Sun 
3:55
Always on,

In silence you feel safe 
Embrace the colder air

the fire's on the way
There's only one,

the darkness keeps it's own
Paralyzed you look inside,

horrified you're not alone
Cold as stone.

Empty core.

Time alone.  

The darkened sun
Will keep my eyes in shade
Hide and run
But there will be no way
Look into the heart
Face in the mirror
The path is long 
The time is near 
Focus hard
It should be clear
Another day 

​

Log away,

Too many wasted hours
There is no other time,

just pull it all inside
An empty stare,

Always fills that face
The darkened sun will rise,

there will be no trace
Cold as stone.

Molten core.

Leave alone.

 

Log away,

too many wasted hours
The darkened sun will rise,

there will be no more power
Cold as stone.

Frozen core.

Almost gone.

Solitude
5:31
(Alert area oversight of increased destabilization Core interaction is expected to worsen over the next days and weeks Outside interference should be terminated Containment will be initiated in 5 secs, 4, 3, 2, 1...)

There's no way you could ever
Reach in to me now
There's no way you could ever
There's no chance to

turn my fears around
Watch them turning.

Feel them pulling.

How could you help me now?

There's no way I could ever
Tell you it's alright
There's no way I could ever
Hope to show you
Ever show you I
Don't have answers.

But I can be there.

Please just let me try. 

(Containment engaged)

Solitude. Nothing I can do. 
(Entries and exits sealed)

Solitude. Nothing you can do. 

Don't know why I am always
Feeling so drowned
Don't know why I can never
Break the surface why can't I get out
The water's churning.

I keep sinking.

Wish I could calm down.

There's no way I can ever
Reach out far enough
There's no way I could ever
Calm the storm

Of that there is no doubt
But I'll be here

and I'll stay near

and I will wait it out.

(Lock down verified)

Solitude. Nothing I can do. 
(Awaiting release code)

Solitude. Nothing you can do.

 

There's no way I can ever
Know just how you feel
There's no way I can ever
Walk in your shoes I can't even try.
I don't understand it.

But it's you that I miss.

I pray you'll be alright.

I Need To Feel
4:27
I don't really feel right tonight
Something in my head It's just not right
I don't really think about it, someday I might
I don't really feel at all tonight

I don't really feel.

I don't really feel.

I don't really feel a thing.  
I would understand.

Something I could handle.

Go away and let me feel.
I need to feel.

I need to feel.  

I really wanna feel right tonight
Put something in my head to feel just right
I'd just like to think about it, Everyday I try
I just wanna feel right tonight

Don't Care
3:04
I'd get up and walk around,

but I'd just have to sit back down
I would speak if you talk to me,

but don't have one thing to say

I don't care.

One way or another.

Guess I'll sit here

and wait for tomorrow.
Don't care.

One way or another.

Take it or leave it,

nah, don't even bother

If the house was burning

and you told me so,

I wouldn't move

I don't think I'd go
Pull me up

shove me out the door,

I guess I'd leave,

but I don't know what for

People say

that I should care,

But all they get

is my blank stare.
Wish I cared

about what I love,

but I don't know

what's become of
my desire

to give and share,

I don't care

that I don't care.

Turmoil
4:35
Pain and fear reside in turmoil.
Twisting inside-out in turmoil. 
Falling out of sight in turmoil. 
Don't know who I'll be in turmoil. 
Lose identity in turmoil. 
Who will remember me In turmoil?
Choking on my needs in turmoil.

​

Anymore
3:59 

Broken like so many times before
And every one was too much to endure 
Losing time rips you mind, heart and soul
How do you fix what you don't control

 

 I don't want to go back anymore 
I don't want to go back anymore
So I keep holding on,

try get where I belong
I don't want to go back anymore

 

I get up, try to shake off the rust
Start again from the same place I was 
Look behind, still see that dark distant void 
Like a whisper that you can't ignore 

There's a place that I keep reaching for
Seems to be a thousand miles and more
At the most In the dark I find light
At the least I can keep up the fight

Make It Home
4:10 

Are you wondering

where I have been
I've been there,

I've been where

no one belongs

I've been away,

it's been too long
Can you feel the wind

left by departing storms

I am feeling.

I am seeing.

I am moving home.

There's a world here.

Happiness here.

When you find it,

home.
Make it home

I've been away,

it's been awhile
Since I looked at a bright sun

golden and warm
Open the door,

look at the sky
Colors are bright,

senses are reaching for more.
