lyrics

Everything moves in a circular motion
Pearls below and the dreams in my head
Maybe someday I'll break from the cycle
But nothing will happen to me when I'm dead

How will I get from the place I find myself
To places above that exist in my head?
If I go it alone I won't reach the apogee
I'm starting to think I need help from my friends

Legions of angels deploy into my spine
Prodding and poking and pushing along
Helping me know the joy in sacrifice
Powered inside by the acceptance of love

One day I'll find it with madness descending
The satellite love that warms me to the bone
Creatures inside make me feel heavy
Living with them means I am never alone

Searching and solving puzzles of magnitude
Finding secrets that flow through the air
Pleasures reduce and distract me all the time
Trying to trust in the person I am

Singular focus transforms my inner spore
Cutting and breaking and throwing away
Everything but the things that matter most
Entropic forces lose the will to decay

Respect the void or it will consume you
Suck you inside and tear ya to shreds
Sometimes it's wise to maintain distance
Especially when people roll the rock from your tomb

Soft Silver Melting runs down my spinal cord
Recharging heat keeps the black thoughts away
Open my eyes and observe the atmosphere
The proper response leaves me with nothing to say
