lyrics

All the time, don't know what is eating me
Strange desire, know just what I want to be
Gets inside, stabs me in a bursting heart
Pumping blood deep into my thirsty art
My art is alone with no sympathy on the phone
A twisted life on display with melodic modes
lyrical sketches and rhythmic foundations
It contracts and stretches

You've got to believe it's true
that's something you've got to do
Stand up and find a new point of view
Or the old ones are gonna get you

On my mind, switches are turning on and off
Pictures flash, experiences get in the way
Systematic seismic waves
Crush buildings that get in the way
People cause and effect at shudder speed
Sequential thoughts perfect and perplex
As the Moon is waxing it is turning away
