Temporary permanence permeates temperaments I wonder, is this forever or just a moment? Give but no take Lets take a break, please put me on a break There's no breaks Just for time's sake There's no escape Bear with the pain in your shoulder, keep pushing the boulder up and over And smile for the camera, and push through the era, and leave me behind in the trial of my errors Where do you think it went? The feeling in my soul, the restlessness in my bones You can't stop the timer, you're getting old (The stories are vast, no chance to repress them) My compass is spinning in every direction (A glimpse from the past, a chance to reflect it) I've loaned out my time and my brain feels neglected Vacuous space, stuck in this maze Give me a taste, time goes to waste Don't thaw me out, spare me the doubt My idle lungs, the frozen blood Throw me in the ice chest I'm clocking out Bypass time Throw me in the ice chest

Blindfold my eyes Lets pretend this is a lie Back and forth our bodies sway Tethered tempting thoughts, vacate my mind Run away, run away now The mind holds the poison We'll pollute within you Scratch the surface Itching to be left alone Lets try and stow it away for now, let's not ruin my day Please, don't mind me sir I'm going away Deceitful mindsets hide the lie Kid in the clouds, you've gotta fight it Or maybe you can get by hiding it You're full of it Taking my anger out on the living room couch And the latex makes me think of the favor Lick the paper, send me away Stamp the anger, I'm on my way Now run, go your own way Get away I'm done finding mistakes too late I'm taking my anger out on the living room couch Lying on my back Trying to lose track of where I am now without finding out how I've done the math and the sums don't match Release expertise I made the wall And I will not call I will not call Blindfold my eyes let's pretend this is a lie I'm taking my anger out on the living room couch Lying on my back Trying to lose track of where I am now without finding out how I've done the math and the sums don't match

Regress from all I know Dragged by the undertow These feelings won't fight themselves I wish to be someone else Forced by the strain I'll deal with the pain Opening up has destroyed us again I just want to breathe again I'm useless inside my own mind as my brain begins to rot As if I could be a contender for all the things that I am not Who would have thought I was wrong about all the thoughts that I thought I made myself this way To crash and burn, wait your turn, a hollow shell The mind that you thought you knew, couldn't you tell It's gone so get gone from here, and let this rot The feeling I used to hold, well I forgot I've left my neck exposed (And I cannot ask why) The wolves came for my throat I fear we'll never know (I'll bleed until I die) I fear our hearts can't cope Ignite beneath the surface I gave up all my trust and I feel I don't deserve this This time I'll take the punch Yeah, I'll take the punch I'm useless inside my own mind as my brain begins to rot As if I could be a contender for all the things that I am not Who would have thought I was wrong about all the thoughts that I thought I made myself this way
