he's not one of us
squeezing me into a category
it's so nice knowing that you got an open mind
and you always find time to behold the divine
you won't try to expose my broken side
or poke holes in the cloak i've grown to like
i don't know
why does this always happen to me
i'm not your foe
try to control your reactions please
i'm sad to see
someone i've handed the keys to my trust
fundamentally misunderstand me
and go on to slander my character
as if having a tantrum in this manner
will grant the gladness you're after
looking to manage an actor who can't
adlib words in the role you're casting for
it's so nice knowing that you got an open mind
and you always find time to behold the divine
you won't try to expose my broken side
or poke holes in the cloak i've grown to like
seriously
the way that you're fooled by appearance is weak
you clearly keep fear near and dear
you hear when it speaks
and you believe what it says
you let it defeat your sense
that you and me could be friends
you feel like i'm attacking you
actively harassing you
you have to do something about it
perhaps you'll move aggressively against me
preemptively prevent me from pretending to be clean
cuz you know what i'm trying to hide
you see through my disguise
and you can't stand idly by
difficult for you to grasp even after the fact
the demon that you speak of isn't actually manifest
that suggests
you have projected something from your inner space
as a sketch
a crude representation
it led you astray from the truth
now i'm supposed to overcome your wrong assumption
that my goals are unethical
i'm set to pull out of this
how do you doubt what i'm about
it's so nice knowing that you got an open mind
and you always find time to behold the divine
you won't try to expose my broken side
or poke holes in the cloak i've grown to like
so why am i shown only hopeless eyes
when you don't quite know where my motives lie
(grrr)
don't pry go along with the soul vibe

what it is with you
every time i try to get lifted to
the next level you're ripping through
my foundation
you're claiming i'm making mistakes
and i need to face 'm
it's invasive
i wish you'd lose
the attitude that you have the truth
what i live and do is specific to me
it comes from where i've been and what i witness succeed
yet you're digging for a flaw you could reframe
make it look as if i'm lost when i'm free range
you have wisdom and you're offering me a taste
but it isn't at all what i need hey
if you're thinking simple thoughts and you see ways
that i could become a boss if i behave
let me give you what you want it's a gee thanks
for the sweet save
you could stay asleep
i can work around you patiently
got the vision and the power to pave the streets
all while you lay and dream
you could stay asleep
i can work around you maybe e-
(e)ven get a little bit ahead in your place and leave
thus ascend gracefully
it's okay if you can't relate
or you don't understand what i have to say
you see madness never method
that is at the root of the passion moving you to be fascist
this is magick with a K at the end
of course you've never seen it before sapien friend
i'm exploring a forward way to ascend
but if you love your box you can stay in it then
i'll just step around you
simple to circumnavigate what your will amounts to
it isn't much but it's what you ground through
and it's easier on everyone if you're allowed to
profound truth
coming atcha now do
you believe that you and me are down like a south crew
you forfeited that when you found proof
that i fill the role of a villain you disavow rude

Had Enough

hey
it's only a matter of time
before you have to pay
i've had enough of having to handle stuff
when i'm already at my capacity asking for love
like back up goddammit i'm at the cusp
i've said this multiple times but you're passing the buck
it adds up
at some point i'm gonna give up cuz i'm annoyed
what do you just wanna destroy
me like i'm nothing but a fun toy
avoid anyone like that
making me feel quite bad
thoughtless and toxic
unresponsive to logic
it's sad
i'm not mad
i understand but i can't be sucked in again
what was the plan
shuffle your stance when i point out that
you're reluctant to advance
beyond a fight
i'm done with this dance
i know how it ends when your only goal is to
send the goat to its death
so that it won't expose your intent
you're unable to sit still with your self
turn the tables on what the wilderness dealt

Great Work

i used to look to the end of the tunnel so i could follow the light
now i'm shook and i severed the struggle cuz i don't wanna fight
there isn't any way out
sinking down deeper when i think about how
there isn't any way out
if i could i would remedy trouble no matter what it was like
it's all good this is heaven we bumble and something codifies
there isn't any way out
sinking down deeper when i think about how
there isn't any way out
i've only got one path
one set of steps ahead of me
i never get to be incredibly bold with it
i gotta roll with it
i gotta know it won't open up to alternate ways of making it through
i play the game and i lose
any time i try to change it or maybe reduce the complexity
i gotta be meshed with these
subtle energies that'll never bend for me
when i'm in the middle of the situation living it
it isn't as simple as i was thinking it would've been
give up again
on clinging to the position that my conditions are different
even when it's too hard
play the hand that i have even when i got the losing cards
even when it ruins my art
even when it proves the dark will succeed and occlude the spark
i got a duty to live up to
it isn't truly what i'd love to do
i disagree in theory often but i'm chugging through my to do list
what you want a fun excuse
i don't get to take a sick day
when i rest it's disarray
it's a pain but i know it's not a mistake
many lifetimes since i tried to escape

you're...
so accustomed to being judged from a distance
this inhibits function in intricate systems of trust
and it's awfully rushed
in a glimpse the info you get has a paucity of nuance
who wants to observe truth on hors d'oeurves
served with some poupon words
yet nevertheless i witness a prevalent intent to measure your fitness
best settle and mesh with it
give it a rest with this self expression business
and no matter how much i let go
i'm holding out hope to see a light
cuz i wanna meet someone that knows
i'm broken at the moment but i'll be alright
you were available
i needed you and you were there to pull your weight
you're available
even if i'm scared of the full embrace
it's strange seeing patience displayed
on a face looking at me
i'm amazed that you've stayed
and afraid that what i've done is gonna chase you away
or maybe i'll make mistakes that betray your good faith
every second is stretching me
incessantly ascending
extend in your presence into mental regions and then
get ahead of the memories that led me into bedlam
fresh stepping no precedent to tether me to endings
you're...
you're available
