Shipwreck A.D. - Zenith
So now I stand atop.
Atop the highest peak.
Looking back at the voyaged path.
Tailing behind me.
From the deepest seas.
To the darkest nights, I survived.
But still the piece of the puzzle
Is missing from my mind.
Searching for the worth.
In every ocean.
In every land.
The olive branch, a second chance.
The purest dove to grace my heads.
Instead all I have is the wonder.
Of what’s on the other side.
Screaming. I pray. To the earth and sky.
“But what’s the point? All I’ll still find is nothing. Please say this journey has been for something…”
“Tell me do the angles fly with icy feathered wings? Do the deaf men of the heavens hear them when they sing? How are we to wake up without ever wondering? You won’t always find and answer to everything. So now my child keep your mind from wandering and find the peace inside to let your restless mind sleep..”
Go It Alone - A Constant Refrain
Why honour the roles we’ve been assigned
When they only serve to keep us at arm’s length from ourselves.
And we consider ourselves free
While our true desires remain under lock and key.
Pressure to conform.
Pressure to fit in
To the boundaries that our gender traps us in.
A pressure so relentless it wears down our will to fight.
A weigh so massive it buries us alive.
Defined by what’s between our legs
And who we choose to fuck.
We succumb to the pressure to conform,
To the pressure to fit in
To the boundaries that our gender traps us in.
Every lesson learned
From the moment of my birth
Is etched into my mind…
And I want to forget.
I don’t want to remember.
Sinking Ships - Comfort
Is tomorrow really a new day
or is it just the same, repackaged and renamed?
I still feel the same.
Did I really ever make a change?
Am I cursed to comfort by the lies I tell myself.
I guess it’s not as easy
as counting every piece
and numbering every line
and telling yourself
everything will be all right.
When sleep fades with the memories of fonder times and shorter nights,
forgot if I’ve lied too many times for you to believe this one,
I can’t expect you to cut loose every noose I wrap around myself.
I feel the floor dropping out,
just let me swing myself to sleep.
Leave me in the darkness,
leave me to my peace.
