Always Asking Why

Place the space time between
Scratch away golden sheen
Echo chamber false ideal
Closing ranks if it gets too real
Chorus:
Trains of thought fortified
By always asking why
Comfort sought cast aside
By always asking why
Raise the flag ring the bell
Pride aside never hard to tell
Reclaim the field standing ground
Full force push never backing down
Chorus
Bridge:
Seated judgements made
With no actions paid
Words alone worthlessly sown (x3)
Light the fires burn the liars
Battles lost battles won
Puppets melt upon the sun
Dots connect picture shows
Illuminate what everyone knows
Chorus x 2

|
Pump enough caffeine in me
So I can see straight process my fate
One step from the edge at all times
Life on a tight rope, eliminate hope
Feel restless never stay still
Anxiety rising, no sympathizing, stomach will burn, never return
To the way it was
Chorus:
Everything I’ve done everything I’ve tried
Feels like I’m killing myself from the inside
Everything I’ve done to get off of this ride
Feels like I’m killing myself from the inside
Just another headache blinding
Crash like a wave in practice deprave
Forever fuck with the incomplete
No point in fixing what ceases existing
Quickly spreads through the bloodstream
Keeps me oblivious, all so insidious, quickens decay, there’s no replay
Of the way it was

Undertow
04:15
|

|
Stuck in the seasick swirl
Of your undertow
Fighting against the force
Nowhere to go
Pressure mounting all around
Fractures show
Chorus:
Feel the pull
Down
And watch me rise
Murky water hide the light
Nothing to see
Sinking further weighted down
Falling free
Surface calling beckoning
Ignored plea
Chorus
Red orange sunset bleeding through
Windswept skies
High tide locked in tandem with
Moonlit eyes
New day dawning just in time
Break the ties
Chorus

Malachite Riot St. Louis, Missouri
Getting back to writing/recording after 20 years off. Workin' solo until I can find a band - just me and Garageband. Very excited to get back into the swing of things.
