lyrics

How wretched are the schemes
I plan within my home
hemmed in twixt the walls my mind once set in stone
Much more hurt I’ve wrought from building up this hope
the failure to see past myself means I just cannot cope

Try imagine where you’ll be when you die
Will you live to see yourself ill-defined
By all those you’ve never quite known 
When, fearing your inevitable end 
You fear you’re broken and you just cannot mend
You’re controlled by the super ego

To always feel like there is nothing
left to offer or soon to find
its rather pointless to fight the urges
the unhinged madness within my mind

And yet still here I am, aware of all my flaws
poisoned in a gutter I am crawling on all fours
this black tar turns my heart though I fight with all I own
Sown seeds of ill repute in truth have left me here dethroned

Try imagine where you’ll be when you die
Will you live to see yourself ill-defined
By all those you’ve never quite known 
When, fearing your inevitable end 
You fear you’re broken and you just cannot mend
You’re controlled by the super ego

Like, A stranger in the shroud of the night
Certain flashes I sporadically sight
Of A Man who I just do not know
Faced with eyes that quite resemble my own
see a weakness which I’m coming to know
Is gaining all control of my soul.

To always feel like there is nothing
left to offer or soon to find
its rather pointless to fight the urges
the unhinged madness within my mind

to always feel like there is nothing
left to offer or soon to find
its rather pointless to fight the urges
the unhinged sadness of kallans mind

PART 2

To always feel like there is nothing
left to offer or soon to find
its rather pointless to fight the urges
the unhinged madness within the mind

A growing sadness
and clouded judgement
were but I strengthened
might take my mind
one must imagine that night filled mountain
is scaled in gladness each time in kind

sin has poisoned all the goodness
all truth now faded - once well defined
now in the greyness i fight the urges
of restrained madness within my mind

to seek the comfort 
of lives uncovered
shared in kindness would seem advised
but I can’t fight the fear of failing
to bridge the distance
between two lives
