This Light We Departed
04:00

This is a declaration
This is a testimony
An obituary born of decay
This is a departure from the gray
This is my catharsis
Forgot I chose to live out my
Life a method actor
Became a character
Lost in comforting lies
Too deep to realise
The numbness is what I despise
Nothing could be finer
A life in A-minor
Grey scale just seems kinder
Pharmaceutical veil
Daylight is for sale
If I don't try then I can't fail
Give up the ghost of a man you never met
Haunted by all of this hope
Scatter the ashes in a place you won't forget
Nothing is on his headstone
Raise your weary head
From this light we departed
Hold on
I'm just not me without my medicine
Come down
If I get worse will it fix me again?
Hold on
I can't pretend without my medicine
Come down
If I forget my lines will I come back again?
No recompense, no relief
Golem wrought from Clay of grief
Suspended disbelief
Substitute absolution
Disregard dissolution
Preside over my execution
My own chain around my neck
No choice but accept
Broken parts don’t intersect
Take ahold and drag under
The undertow and the thunder
My smiling face is torn asunder
Give up the ghost of a man you never met
Haunted by all of his hope
(I'm worn out on hoping for more)
Scatter the ashes in a place you won't forget
Nothing is on his headstone
(No hope any more)

Yeah
JFTB turning
Straight coming at you
We're gonna bring that beat back
I'm scared
It's like you never cared
But I know you can throw shade
With some light on your hand
Multiply it all with a flame and a lamp
And expand it til all of my demons recant
I can’t fly
My wings have been clipped
I can’t fly
Weighed down by all this
I am the emperor
Heavy is the head that wore the crown as the kingdom burned
I am the emperor of all the pain that I have learned
Is this a tomb or a chrysalis to give me birth?
Hunt from us the sleep that chains our wings to the earth
Fire cleanse and fire rebirth
And i wont become whole
Until ive proven my worth
?????
Spread my seed and my earth,
This is Johnny from the Burbs man fuck what you heard
Got the noose tied tight round the neck of my foes
My mans rang a man told me give us a show
And so im these droppin bars
Like the sydney council
Ya cancelled scrambled
Give us a gamble
Chuck us ya dollar$

Reinnervation
02:25
|

Phantom pain to phantom limb
I am a shade and this body is my crypt
All my scars are numb forever
Graft your nerves and mine together
You won’t leave intact
Reave to reinnervate
I can't tell which parts of me are real
I’ll damn you to hell just so I can feel

Stones on Graves
03:56
|
|||
I still go to sleep half expecting
To wake up choking on the words infecting
A memory I know there's no correcting
I guess it's a blessing
I guess it is
My mouth is full of dirt
I'd try to spit it out
I'd try to swallow it down
But I'm afraid you'd still get hurt
Lower me in to the earth
Have your revenge
I won't pretend
It's not what we both deserve
Just put a stone on my grave to stop me from rising
The dirt envelopes me
It chokes like embers
I beg for recompense
I can't remember
Buried in soil
While I shake and tremble
No pharmaceuticals
Can halt the tremors
One foot in the grave, the other in my mouth
The doctors told me to embrace my demons
But that doesn't help when I can't fucking see them
Scratching, clawing, gnawing at my cortex
Haunted by the thought of what I'm gonna do next
Do I live with the ties I've severed
Or seal my fate and be rid of them forever?
Sowing the seeds of my own self doubt
Make it stop, help me find a way out
