When the whole room looks at me
They'll see the man in the wanted sign
I'll keep my distance from the crowds
I'll stay on one side of my own line
When can my heart become free
Like the color blue
Someone break my barricade
So I can see the view
The cause of my loneliness is me
No one has forced me to feel this way
Blue will bring liberty to me
There should be more in this world than gray

I look into my eyes
I can't look as they cry
I hate the shape of my face
So I'm closing my gates
To find all of my gold
and throw it all away
I write onto paper
All my loss and failure
It hangs up on my wall
And all over the hall
Words can't be a sword
They stick to the brain
Digging deeper through my files and records
Burn them, hide them, from the hands of a lord
I look out my window
While I'm stuck in limbo
A man is passing by
With two arms by his side

Cordyceps

This cancer cell has dug deep into my brain
It's enough to drive anyone insane
The fungus says that I'm useless to resist
A hidden shadow for somebody to dismiss
You can hate yourself and not even know why
You can climb up a mountain and stay there till you die
I'll keep you in the dark to save you from yourself
I'll lock you up in Gitmo, can't get out from your cell
It's pitiful that happiness comes from a pill
This infection is cutting pieces like a mill
I fight against the ticking watch that waves around
Struggling to put my feet back on the ground
Sing in the night
To find someone in sight
Climb out the mine
Stitching intertwines

Erase

Your hard drives broken, the updates heavy
You let it run in the night
Searching folders to find an error
You let it stay in your sight
It's all written out now
You can't erase
The next paragraph down
Is yours to make
A virus hits you inside your bloodstream
You let the sequence repair
Your nightmare's haunted by a single message
You let it float in the air

Twlight

Watching lovers through their eyes as they grace their rings bestowed
And I'm stuck inside a box in the biting winter snow
I'm locked in chains in my cell
The endless ring of love's bell
My voice it speaks to carry the waves
I'm buried deep in a lonely grave
The air it searches round and round to pierce our fragile skin
It hesitates to look through mine as the wounds reveal my sin
These bones locked down
On the bed where my body drowns
The scars are bleeding
From the knife of a lucid sting
Screaming out loud
But the walls pin down the sound
Love stands beside me
But only meets me in a dream
