Just ignore it, push this aside day after day/ Now it's my pleasure to be ripping your awareness my way/ Live it up, live it up until you can't live down the things you say/‎ Disregard your own beating heart and keep on running anyway/ Oh yeah, it's fine, it's probably for the best/ Let me just quickly ‎tell that to the burning feeling inside my chest/‎ Lord knows I always planned on being suddenly abandoned/‎ They say it's better to love and lose so I guess I'm truly blessed/ Oh please, leave me down here where you found me/ Let me get to my self-righteous agony/ Let me seethe in this self-aggrandizing misery/ Let me grieve for who I think I used to be/ Turning my obsession back inward/ With‎ my intention so savagely injured/ Will‎ I pretend that I know better? Can I go on like this forever?/ Can I convince myself that what I want is all that I need?/ Why am I willing to burn for this? Why do I let myself bleed?/ It sure is nice to finally know that I was wrong all along‎/ I guess‎ this chaotic mess is the way that things belong/ Never letting attention show but smouldering with mutual disgust/ You keep letting the tension grow and I'll keep grinding these goddamned teeth to dust/ Howling ghosts of quiet moments shattering my dreams/ Waking in an empty room still echoing with the screams/ Writhing in this inexorably melodramatic agony/ Holding it all back, just like you taught me/ Will‎ I pretend that I know better? Can I go on like this forever?/ Can I convince myself that what I want is all that I need?/ Why am I willing to burn for this? Why do I let myself bleed?/ Glancing back over your shoulder with the sympathy you assert/ Pity pumps through the heart of the beholder while I draw my masterpiece right here in the dirt/ But I'm still so grateful to be here and for the hideous hunger that animates me/ When I rise, my wretched work will scar this wasteland as far as your vacant can see/ Of course the first thing in life that I didn't have to question/ Would lead me indefinitely in this dismal direction/ ‎I've swallowed my pride and my bitter affection/ But I can't even trust my own haggard reflection/ I never asked for/ This distraction/ Or these irrelevant /Over-reactions/ I know we both/ Have a lot/ Left to say/ And I hope that some day we can talk about it over some coffee/

Carefully creating a delicate expectation/ To hold in my heart with such adoration/ Endlessly I build in dire, desperate detail‎/ This teetering tower of insecurity, standing tall and frail/ Projecting my aspirations/ Infecting you with my dreams/ Embrace my indignations/ Slave for my self-esteem/ Carry me forward to a time of blissful harmony/ Let me destroy myself and reassure my sanity/ Keep on whispering in my ear, define my reality/ Be my excuse, my reward/ Intoxicate and motivate me/ Let me soar with you/ Through the skies of your inexhaustible potential/ Nurture me with sincerity/ Become essential/ Give me your life/ Or I won't make it through/ Give me your life/ And I will never repay you/ Keep on meddling in my mind, foster my insanity/ With great confusion and discord, elevate and devastate me/ Let me soar with you/ Through the skies of your inexhaustible potential/ Nurture me with sincerity/ Become essential/ Illuminate the way/ Turn this night into day and I will live my life by every word you say/ You speak so loud but never say a thing/ Oh how I crave the mere vibration, how I long to hear you sing/ Let me soar with you/ Through the skies of your inexhaustible potential/ Nurture me with sincerity/ Become essential/

Reforged and renewed/ By the passion we exude/ Salvaged from senescence‎/ We are one consciousness/ Ambitions intertwined/ One mission, redefined/ Reconditioned state of mind/ A vision's ignition, unconfined/ Cohesion, casting out inhibition/ Creation, nurture to fruition/ Progressing beyond understanding/ Strengthening our grasp on the unending/ Compliment and contrast facets of our being/ Chemistry at long last/ Reacting, never thinking/ Liberated from the past / See each moment gleaming/ Spiralling within so fast that I could almost swear I'm dreaming/ With all exposed, vulnerable yet empowered/ I reach a newfound clarity/ Looking out on a vast, empty grid of possibility/ Unafraid of all I once so carefully withheld/ Shaking off the battered remnants of my broken shell/ Every drop of poison pessimism is expelled/ Shaping a perspective I wish I had always held/ Crossing a new threshold, abandoning selfishness/ Savouring, not overthinking this feeling of bliss/ Leaving behind drudgery that leaves me passionless/ I've known all my life that I was born for this/ Emboldened with a newfound sense of/ Permission to explore the irrational, the impossible/ Reforged and renewed/ By the passion we exude/ Salvaged from senescence‎/ We are one consciousness/ I must be growing cause I know this place ain't getting any smaller/ It's just a matter of time before I wear these very walls/ There's only one way of knowing what lies beyond the chain that binds this collar/ Or what the world might hold outside these labyrinthian halls/ Outside these walls/
