On the edge of the universe Walk right along the perimeter Step out there will be a toll The boundaries around can't contain our souls Patches of plaster to fill in the cracks Start throwing bricks to shatter the glass

Trying hard to move on but its harder not to let go When you’ve been possessed for some time and it's what you’ve come to know Speaking unknown languages and a slightly altered face Make you think you’re someone else but that’s a grave mistake So you’re trying you’re new legs on let's go see what you’ve got To you hunger is humorous but you still enjoy the hunt Growing fearful of yourself or whatever you’ve become An exquisite corpse of all the things to which you’ve ever been a host Bound by we are by intangible string Tangled up it's a mangled thing Took out your scissors by the memories your foiled Try cutting the cord it’ll only recoil A seething fever dream creeps No sleep it keeps you sweating The exorcist is struggling to kill it with you alive It’s hard to get it out when You don’t even know whats in there And it's harder to go on when you'd rather not untether From all the ones you used to see and all things that used to be Because they’ll always be in background imagery Can't unknow all the people you meet You were sitting in the reeds The ones that grew by the ravine Saw a figure and you’re a little unsettled Don't know what they are but you’re not gonna meddle Handle encounters with lots of tact Don’t know which of the strangers are gonna come back Ya gotta be sharper and a little more cynical Safer to assume they'll be hard to get rid of Bound we are by intangible string (a lot strength) Tangled up it's a mangled thing (holds so much weight) Took out your scissors by the memories your foiled (won't go away) Try cutting the cord it’ll only recoil (never breaks) My word Fuck what doesn't kill you makes you stronger Cause they were hellbent on seeing you bent and broken Sucked up dry like roots out of water Withered and wilted like asters in the summer Get them the hell out so you can go back and prosper A seething fever dream creeps No sleep it keeps you sweating The exorcist is struggling to kill it with you alive It’s hard to get it out when You don’t even know what's in there And it's harder to go on when you'd rather not untether From all the ones you used to see and all things that used to be Because they’ll always be in background imagery Can’t unknow all the people you meet And as long as you are breathing And the weavers keep on weaving You can’t unknow the people you meet They’ll be in the gallows of your memory Just like the sacred thread The three sisters couldn't cleave Can never cut the cord entirely

I watched it fall Downward through the sky Came in from a wormhole tear came out of it without a scratch because it missed you by a hair Crashed through the roof Right into your room An old engine from a derailed plane A timeline can't survive Shot him in the eye Lost the love of your life Flooded the school because they made you do it And cause you're a just bit out of your mind my friend And you're running out of time Don't make me say what happens on October 29th You were traveling through your world When they brought you to her On another timeline in a tangent universe She exists inside your realm And you inside of hers All due to an artifact and living receiver You’ll walk through the cellar door Not sure what its for Accept your fate as sacrifice nothing less and nothing more Observe manipulated dead manipulated life Take that hunk of metal send it back up to the sky Now She’ll pass by your house How strange she feels a vibe Though she Won’t remember you Or that you were alive And you You will raise your voice You will strain your throat Just so she could hear you on the opposite side of the universe Where you cant see each other but it kinda hurts and You'll both dig your heels into the sand just So the ocean knocks you over in the end and Flips you upside down over on your heads so She's just left wondering why So the world is held in tact Just one less skeptical iconoclast So she's just left wondering why Why Why does it remind me Of how beautiful the world can be

Phase 4 in the morning Rain taps the roof Aware I'm half awake in my sleep again Thinking of you I'm gonna make this last as long as I can Cause here I can do anything I want to I will do anything for you Move mountains or the moon I would change the wind Make colors no one’s ever seen Just to light you up when you're in need Morpheous takes my hand To lead me out the realm again When will I see you Prayin for deja vu Angels of dust Pay me a visit Tip toe when they dance Circling like herons As autumn rains become the sea I would bottle up the sea for you Take the earth and mold it to a mug Then when you were done I’d shatter it and let them run So you’d have all of the beach glass you could want The psychopomps they chant Taken by the wings I'm dragged How will I see you Prayin for deja vu A journal by my bed Blue lotus in my tea again Play god in my own head Mugwort late at night Projections of the astral side Moving through the vines In this realm and they're all mine. Do it all again when I somnolize

Going home Got a new thing going on That I've been working on All year long A new thing to show But when I see the ones I know All of the old feelings just come rushing in like ghosts With a past like this I know There's gonna be ghosts everywhere I go A fire rages from A candle light I hung Over the mantle Inside a room 10 years ago Stand alone in the house Don't hear a single sound except White noise in the background All the things I did Words I said Keep me in some kind of way connected To the souls that I have touched The ones I loved The ones I hurt Don't forget about the ones that I desert Those are the ones whose love I really don't deserve Those ghosts follow me everywhere I go Combats dark matter in the room Still deja vu inside My mind A plague alive Alive I think I need to get outside I’m haunted I’m haunted I’m haunted

It’s that time of year again energetic kind of swing in the air The world I know loses green I think that you know which season I mean A black cat dances around the street The sky turns into a purple grey A certain kind of movement here That sways around my head all year At this time I never know what I mean and Every laugh is masking a scream At this time the ghosts come around The ones that we shove into the The background I love the thrill I love the scare But I cant handle anymore of The nightmares I look forward to October time But all that I've been wondering's when you'll Get out of my mind It's that time of year again I get all nostalgic so I pick up the pen Write into a palimpsest all of the words that Can never be unsaid All around festivities Everywhere the leaves and the trees Death it starts to feel lively There's a labyrinth where reason should be so please Don't ever take me seriously At this time I never know what I mean and Every laugh is masking a scream At this time the ghosts come around The ones that we shove into the The background I love the thrill I love the scare But I cant handle anymore of The nightmares I look forward to October time But all that I've been wondering’s when you'll Get out of my mind I've seen the webs I've felt the ghosts I've walked into the haunted houses all on my own But out of all the things I've ever done The ones that scare me the most Are the ones that I don't But there's still a little bit of summertime October do not rush me Let me take my time Let me take my time And while you're at it Get out of my mind

I remember when you said time would never break you in Confidence in speaking devoid of hesitation Curiosity took precedent Are you as you were When you knocked on the party door Making everyone else uncomfortable with your solemn demeanor Head to toe you dressed in black and you wouldn’t ever take it back Confused the hell out of everyone and left without a sound Are you as you were when your former self was still around I remember when you said you'd never become the rain Little droplets falling just so they can wash themselves away And evaporate into everything Are you as you were back then Even if you’re not I think I still think of you a lot Are you the same soul that I knew when I knew you back then Are you the same one I knew back in 2010 Are you as you were back then A little too much philosophy and somewhere along the way You lost yourself and found a self and threw another self away Combine an open mind with self doubt Oh I wish I could go back and tell her Not to listen to what people tell her And maybe then instead Id tell her That everything she’ll ever need she’s already got And I know you’re in the basement cellar Trapped among the webs and spiders But I promise for it you’ll be better When resurrected you’ll live stronger Someday you’ll be someone you admire When it’s over it takes you higher But still I’ve gotta ask Are you as you were in the picture we took by the docks Are you as you were in the same way that's a paradox Ain't it funny how life will work that way (Guess that’s just the price we must pay) Now I’m not sure what to think Ill excavate remains to dig up anything from the past because I’m Hanging by a thread All I want is to be woven in Completely woven into the material of you Is this all in my head Watch out for constructs everywhere my friend Are you as you were in the same way you've always been Are you as you were in the same way you've always been Are you as you were in the same way you’ve always been

Find myself ending up at this place on my Saturdays Skies match the ground where weary bones can rest in peace People bring bouquets to concrete gardens Where it all turns to grey anyway I like the look of dried up flowers so I Keep them in a jar without any water Just to watch them fade away as life gets harder And I laugh at my mistakes This time that now were all grown up This town it was never big enough So tell me why the hell would I ever stay She said would you show some goddamn gratitude for this place I say there's a monster inside of me you say you're coming out I say it's anonymous to me can't be found by looking at x-rays But at night lately I notice that it gets harder to breathe As I try to walk down the asphalt streets Seems like I carry twice the weight Another pair of footsteps in the rain The flickered streetlights what I see An extra shadow lurking right behind me I need to know how long its gonna be It sometimes comes out but it never truly leaves All I can wonder is when I'll be free Do you think it ever wonders When it will be free from me Woke up with a sore throat a week ago hasn't ever gone away It's been awhile since I felt like myself Well I hope it's not some sort of plague It got pretty bad a few days ago I Coughed up a few insults I heard them go as they Climbed their way on up the walls of my throat And out into the air from a small window that Is open but lets in no light The light it only comes in through the corner From a certain angle at around six in the morning When there's nothing to illuminate She said to me why don't you just pray I say there's a monster inside of me you say you're coming out I say it's anonymous to me can't be found by looking at x-rays But at night lately I notice that it gets harder to breathe As I try to walk down the asphalt streets Seems like I carry twice the weight Another pair of footsteps in the rain The flickered streetlights what I see An extra shadow lurking right behind me I need to know how long its gonna be It sometimes comes out but it never truly leaves All I can wonder is when I'll be free Do you think it ever wonders when it will be free from me I'm a really good person done a lot of bad things I wouldn't hurt a fly but I might clip its wings Is there a pattern in reality or am I looking through A kaleidoscope only I can see Covered in the weeds eclipsed by the trees Crawling with the leeches from beneath A porcelain doll inside a crane machine Among other things she will sit peacefully The quarter that comes from the ventriloquist's hand It will take her out into foreign lands Where she'll learn to breath and she’ll try to stand So he puts another quarter in I'll say it again there's a monster inside of me Its incognito it has no name As its host I hope it doesn't take over Well on second thought I'm not the monster Its everybody besides me

So one day she decided to venture off again Get up from the shelf of her porcelain friends Wander away to the far off non-lands Don't wake up don't wake up yet She’ll do what knows in a world of unknowns Meet friends odd places and shake off the ghosts Start a new life and carve out a home All without moving an inch And the neighbors will say what happened to you You look like you've seen a monster or two and I'll tell them I did when I lived on the fringe Of civilization in isolation I've gazed into it It gazes into me too I've been touched by it It lives in me now There's a monster inside of me I can’t get it out But I’m not a monster I want to be found I'm not a monster I want to be found I'm not a monster I want to be found No I'm not a monster I want I just want to be able to fend them off for you And by now I think I've developed the skills They're fine tuned Enough to keep them contained in me and to Keep them away from you too

There’s something up there it hovers above Welded into the sky it blends in just enough If you look up you'll see what you wouldn't believe Now you can't stop thinking bout what you saw yesterday First it flew high then camouflage Sent out on a mission stealth America 1968 the thermo gave us away Still none of us forget what we see yesterday I've heard the thunder and this sound I know But this sound like no other it's a miracle 1947 and the crash test dummies Sometimes either way you just got to believe You got to believe Stumbled on a little place in Mojave Some might even call it the land of dreams I know the world works in mysterious ways Sometimes you just got to take a leap a leap of faith Taking a leap of faith Taking a leap of faith The looking glass Los Alamos E-115 psychic yeah Aquatone There's not a lot of base but this much I know I saw the light down in New Mexico I saw the light down in New Mexico I saw the light down in New Mexico
