lyrics

- Ill -
Warmer than blood, colder than ice
Alone there he stood, contemplating, thinking twice.
A grand day out, a grand day in
Nowhere to go, nowhere he has been.

Like a rescued kitten
Don’t know where he’s been
Just scars resembling
A story of pain
Dust is on the counter
Dust is in his heart
His humming getting louder
Too late to stay or start
This house is way too big to heat, the windows dark and tall
Like a face that forgot to eat and eyes closed to it all.

Too hungry to eat,
Too tired to sleep,
Too far to reach,
Too cold to heat,
Too much to do,
To start at all.
Too hungry to eat,
Too tired to sleep.

How far can you sail with a broken compass?
How far can you travel without a map at hand?
You can not jump with broken legs. You can not smile with your affliction.
The hill has become a mountain. Gets bigger every day that it is not conquered.

Observing the functions of others, revealing: their flawless machinery.
His introspection revealing disparity.
Caught in a loop of self rewarding masturbating gluttony.
Paralizing Panic and anxiety

Warmer than blood, colder than ice
Alone there he stood, contemplating, thinking twice.
A grand day out, a grand day in
Nowhere to go, nowhere he has been.

How do you know your face if the mirror’s shattered?
