Poor in Time

The traveler was parched
Entirely deprived for a year
Desperate in the desert facing the arid and the sear and the heat of the flames.
He'll quench this endless thirst
by finding the oasis and drinking water till he bursts
Till he comes back to life
Back to life.
Then he comes face to face with the artisan. This isn't the first time.
I've seen your face before. It's one that's never looked so like mine.
Now I'm an older man, and these decades won't be kind.
They won't be kind.
You're building pillars that are straight and defined
You're rich in heart, but you're poor in time, poor in time
You ease the pain but how can you pay the fine?
You're rich in love, but you're poor in time poor in time.
Rich in your love but you're poor in time
Poor in time

Performer, Pay attention to me
I'm taking pictures of these places and the food that I eat
I'll sell you, for a follower's fee
A spitting image of the person that I think you should be
You are the scroll, you are the key
I respirate, you watch me breathe
You watch me seethe, you watch me breathe
You watch me seethe, you watch me.
Tap, tap my heart, till you can see the pumping through my bones
I've come to life, I'm your companion, lover, friend and foe
Unite and bond, mold shape complete, I own your hands, I own your feed
Look in my window, you can never be alone
With all direction and intention compromised
Idle deflection, push ambition to the side
With all direction and intention compromised
You are the scroll. You are the key
I respirate, yeah you can watch me breathe
I am the vice, you are the seed
I respirate, yeah you can watch me.
You
Watch
Me
Breathe
We need a better place to hide
Before we're swept out with the tide
We need a better place to hide
Before we're swept out with the tide
We need a better place to hide
Before we're swept out with the tide
We need a better place, a better place to hide

Filaments

Let me go, let me go, let me go right now
I'm like a wolf in a cage
Burn, light, through the end of the night
But the filament can't burn out till it's day
And I can't think of why I should sell my soul every second of life
Until I start to decay
Go, let me know how to get back self control
You've reached the stage where you feel your rage
Have you bitten off more than you can chew?
You'll lose your grip when your fingers slip
Every time that the fire comes back to you
You've reached the stage where you feel your rage
Have you bitten off more than you can chew?
You'll lose your grip when your fingers slip
Every time the fire's coming back
Cage me not and leave me free from, free from harm and
Burn, light, through the end of the night
Let me go, let me go
Let me go right now, I'm like a wolf in a cage
Let me go, let me go
Let me go right now cause I am feeling a rage
Let me go, let me go
Let me go right now, I'm like a wolf in a cage
And I feel the tearing of all the wires in my brain.

Tinctures

There exists a life and death in our arteries
The choking vines that end up wrapped around family trees
The curse itself it only partially came to me
Didn't fall before I set myself free
This could be different for you than it is for her
Frustrations wrapped up in the ghost of Gene Wilder
I know the two of us are never around, but the sound, but the sound
We're always looking for the perfect sound
I hope you find what you seek here
A kind of freedom from a timid and meek fear
The footing is sparse, the blueprints a mess
No longer fighting with my past but I still need no rest
There exists a life and death in our arteries
The choking vines that end up wrapped around family trees
The curse itself it only partially came to me
Didn't fall before I let myself go, set myself so free
We were born and bred to destroy mistakes
To write all the wrongs and to mend the breaks
Like a tincture changing the water back
To the clearest of blue, from the deepest and the darkest of black

So Finite

I fear not
I fear not a return to the dark
Nor the ash, nor the moment I cease
But the thought of leaving a mark unchanged, so incomplete
Time has removed the worst of my afflictions
But how am I to actualize while lacking any friction?
Enter decade three, sanctuary. I'm comfortable and complacent
I try to bury it now and then. I try to bury it now and then.
But I feel knotted 'till I set up the replacement.
Eventually it will happen again, it happens again, it happens again.
There's an enemy that gets the best of me
It's the worst of self defeat
It's a tidal force, a misdirected course
It's a pressure, bittersweet
This self compression, destructive in the end
Eventually I'm aware that it will happen again
It happens again
It happens again
It happens again
It happens again
I fear not the ash, nor the moment that I cease
But I won't leave a mark unchanged and incomplete.
I fear not the ash, nor the moment that I cease
I'll never leave a mark, a mark that is unchanged and incomplete.
Bright we burn and to dust we will return
I know this part of me is cut from the stone
But I'm not falling in line while I'm biding my time
I will never let an idleness sink into my bones.
