The Puppeteer
02:10
|

|
White walls are surrounding me
Wood windows in a picture frame
Worried whispers coming from the outside
Fall upon a colony of deaf ears
These are the people who take control of butterflies
These are the people who can make the sheer insignificance
Of a wing flapping turn my whole world upside down
I take command in a puny cubicle
Its cardboard walls are painted in morally gray
All my life I've been betrayed
Let's leave a mark in this dying world
I sense a tingle from my fingertips
Take a deep breath while it crawls up to my brain
I can feel
I can feel now
I can feel
I can feel now
I can feel the power
I can feel the reign
I am pulling the strings
I am the puppeteer

The Luminary
02:48

A ten-legged spider is dancing on the keys
I am fascinated and grossed out at the same time
An invisible web, crime after crime,
Keeps me in place, though I'm technically free
Still webbed to the screen
I get handed the script for the next scene
A boy who just turned sixteen
Gets crushed by another machine
I steer right into it
Brace myself for the impact
A sign of hesitation
Then I press execute
I hear the sound of every single bone breaking
I press the palms of my hands up against my ears
I see the blood splatter from every single vein
I shut my eyes, I'm shaking
As I wipe away a drop of sympathy
Some suits come by to congratulate me
Their choice of words
Seems arbitrary
They all now call me
The luminary

A feeling of weakness is overwhelming me
As I walk back out into the green scenery
No cardboard walls protecting me from agony
I am left with my boldness and irony
Somebody please stop the anguish
My inner demons can't be vanquished
All these people are staring at me
Faceless men without sympathy
They are wandering the same realm
But they live in a different dimension
They all have the wrong intention
But the stares are overwhelming
I should be untouchable
They are the dysfunctional
White walls are surrounding me
Wooden windows in a normal frame
A bilateral bond, day after day
Keeps me in place, though I'm technically free

The Lover
04:58
|

|
A sense of safety
Then a sudden suspense of suspicion
As I hear two muffled voices
Though there should only be one
My heart starts rushing
As I slowly walk towards the tension
The voices become moaning
The moaning becomes screams
The floor speaks in squeaks
The screams answer with sudden silence
The only one I loved was you
How am I going to pull through
The world seems to stand still
As the unknown voice rushes past me
And the other is weeping in denial
While explaining its agony
The sounds slowly fade away
As the ringing in my ears becomes unbearable
I shut my eyes as hard as I can, just to see some color again
How could you do this to me
Does this ring mean nothing to you
The only one I loved was you
How am I going to pull through

The Verdict
02:40
|
|||
|
Blood stains everywhere
Red hands, maniac
Voices in my head
Heartbeat disappeared
I've come to realize that she's dead
The voices mumble instructions which are unclear
They all want her body to disappear
There is no way
Out of this
A dead cocoon
Filled with flesh
The walls slowly turn from red to gray
As I watch the light outside fade away
I am being chased by shadows
I can't process the weight of the consequences
I drive past an open meadow
Branches cracking below
Deep into the woods
To find a place unknown

Together
Together
Together
Together
We float above
The dark shadows
You turn to smoke
While I woke
Together
Together
Together
Together
I grab your ashes
Throw them up in the air
I will avenge you
This I swear

I Am To Blame
02:56
|

|
With or without you
I feel so far away
What you said was true
I stand in my own way
The years of hardship
Will never go to waste
I feel so heartsick
I feel so disgraced
You said
You said I'll always be there for you
Drown my path
Erase me
|

Black tendrils are grasping me
Emerging from the floor
Sheer strings form around my wrists
My back pressed against the door
I accept the consequences
I need to carry the weight on my back right now
I am facing the worst part of me
There is no turning back right now
Contemplation enhances my misery
Desperation unleashes the worst in me
A sudden change in pace
In control of my own fate
Tears running down my face
A moment to embrace
Say something
Or you'll fall apart
Take control of the situation
Heart's pumping
A brand new start
Accept the transformation
I did a horrible thing
The tendrils lose their grip
I'm in control of myself
The weight becomes lighter
Lifeless eyes stare back at me
A glimpse, no reaction
Dry lips that are not talking
Is anyone in there
You're turning your back on me
You're drifting further away from me

I Am In Control, Pt. II
02:24
|

|
Days go by without a sign
But then a knock on the door
A face I've seen before
Feel a hand on my shoulder
As it is coming closer
You and I we both defy
The weight that plagues our bipolar minds
I know you said you could
I know you said you would
The place and time is here and now
Contemplation, pull it together
Desperation, now and forever
You and I we both defy
The weight that plagues our bipolar minds
I know you said you could
I know you said you would
The place and time is here and now

I Am In Control, Pt. III
00:53
|

|
So I give in
Go up the stairs
I close the door
A desperate affair
And you say that I am
The first to accept this
And you say that I could
Forget and just give in
And you say that I would
Feel better after this
And you say that I should
Ignore the squeaking floor
|

I Am In Conflict, Pt. I
01:32
|
|||
|
Obscured view in anticipation
Loss of consciousness in determination
I should have known that the tiny movement of a wing flapping
Could turn my whole world upside down
I take command
In this pointless argument
The facts at hand
No more countless compliments
I do demand
That this physical bond
Shall withstand
All future consequences
I feel the sound of my words
Reflecting from a hollow shell
Boiling blood rushes into my head
Is it worth it to live like this
Do I have the strength to persevere
I need to take a deep long breath
Are you even listening
|

I Am In Conflict, Pt. II
02:09
|
|||
|
I wonder how things led up to this
I wonder why we can't live in bliss
I wonder why we had to move away
I wonder how we'll slowly decay
I wonder how much time I spent here
Just pretending my consent
You and I will always be so much
So much more than just friends
You said you'll always be here till the end
You should understand me
Just the thought of being alone here on the earth
Haunts me every day and night
You and I
|

15. |

|
We're done
The walls are closing in
Ignorance is bliss
There is no way
Out of this
A dead cocoon
Filled with flesh
There is no point in talking
You now know where I stand
I need to suffocate
The thoughts that are in my head
A long way from home
Knee deep in the mess
I found a place of comfort
A place of no regrets
I've never felt so alive
Longing eyes staring at me
A golden halo in their way
My mindless thoughts tell me that I should not obey
Reach into dark shadows, the halo turns to gray
The longing gaze of guilt is starting to persuade
My biased sense of consequence has been outweighed
The approach feels like forever
Let's embrace this new endeavour
Words come out in disarray
Won’t you please come this way
Contemplation
Desperation
I feel the warmth of my blood
While falling into a black hole
After me, the flood
I'm confident I lost control
With or without you
I feel so far away
What you said was true
I stand in my own way
The years of hardship
Will never go to waste
I feel so heartsick
I feel so disgraced
You said
You said I'll always be there for you
Drown my path
Erase me
