Lined in Silver

As I lay you down to sleep
You know I’d do anything
Just to keep you safe
To keep you from suffering
To keep you, my everything
To keep you
Falling into deep sleep
Nightmares overtaking me
Followed me into this waking dream
It’s been a year from hell
Where is the reprieve?
Now I lay me down to sleep
May this world find its peace
This year’s been painted red
Lined with silver in the end
Holding this new life
That we made for the second time
Right before all this started
You are the silver line
My love, my favorite lights
The future is up to us
And though it may not be enough
I hope that when we choose
We choose love
Now I lay me down to sleep
May this world find its peace
This year’s been painted red
Lined with silver in the end
Lined in silver
Lined

The Weight & The Bellows
09:08
|
|

On my journey through dreams
The darkness that surrounded me
Shadowy figure bellowing
Now that I am awake
Can’t help but still feel the weight
The shadow followed me from
Sleep, must still be asleep
Feel the weight crushing down
On us all, not just me
Sleep, please tell me I’m asleep
We’ve been in this for weeks
Turned to months, now forever it seems
The shadow covers everything
Is anyone awake
Feels like fewer every day
Did the shadow follow us from
Sleep, must still be asleep
Feel the weight crushing down
On us all, not just me
Sleep, please tell me I’m asleep
Woke up paralyzed
Not knowing what is real
Something is wrong here
I’m still paralyzed
Questioning what is real
Months pass by here
The world is paralyzed
Still unable to tell
The line between the realms
Fear is what keeps us here
Selfishness breaks us
Fear is what keeps us here
Compassion can save us

It’s a charade
We’re saving face
Turning the other cheek
Broken and bruised, scarred and bloody
Always the same
They built their name
High atop hills of bodies
Apathetic to all the suffering
We all exist on separate wires
Yet we’re tangled together
One day we will retrace these lines
That are keeping us tethered
We all exist on our own wire
Refusing to remember
One day we will embrace these ties
Forcing us to do better
We wait for signs of life
Ignoring the neon in our eyes
Wake up
Consciously
We can
Evoke change
Create
A new day
Together

A Year on Fire
05:44
|
|

This is the revolt
This is the rebellion
This is the revolution
It’s up to us to fight
Far too many have died
There is no other way out of this
There is no other way out
There is no going back now, from this
There is no going back now
We are controlled through our culture
And we won’t take it anymore
We all must stand as one
Or we’ll fall together alone
Every life is precious
So many gone before their time
This year’s on fire and we can’t breathe
Like was said on the Eighth Ground so long ago
We’ve got to reshape the structure one way or another

In Nightmares
12:21
|
|

I awoke to a darkened room
In my minds eye
Something moved
I was paralyzed
A weight on my chest
Against my ear the shadow pressed
The demon moaned
It was all I could hear
All alone in this waking nightmare
And I lulled myself back to sleep
It was all I could do in dreams
We all settle in
For the long winters sleep
Alone in a crowded room
Was once my excuse
But now it’s all quiet
No where to go but inside
Stay inside
Alone in my mind
I hope we can make it
I know we can make it

The Forgotten Ones
06:51
|
|
||
We stay still to not be seen
Joined together in our apathy
Destroying everything
Still complacent and never moving
We can’t be everything to everyone
No one will remember our names
Dead long before we’re gone
Such a waste
We are so lost
Nothing has changed
We are the forgotten ones
We are the forgotten
We shake at the thought of it
Joined together as we lament
Create only fear and grief
Actions driven by twisted beliefs
We long to be everything to anyone
We can’t even remember our names
We’ll carry on till we’re gone
Such a waste
We are so lost
Nothing has changed
We are the forgotten ones
We know the world has moved on
And left us behind
In these dark days
The flames remind us of why we fight
We are the forgotten
Once so alive
Now trapped in time
Dark swallows light
Blanket of night
Who will remember us?
Will you remember us?
Once so alive
Now trapped in time
Dark swallows light
Blanket of night

The Inherent Emptiness
07:21
|
|
||
We all feel lost sometimes, so hollow
It can be hard to find a light to guide
The emptiness is inherent
Erasing all that lives inside
Subconscious descends us
Into self-loathing madness
We try so hard but we can’t fake it
This life is not meant to live alone
Still empty, we wrong to right ourselves
While sinking deeper in the hole we fight to fill
We long for something to take away the pain
We choose to medicate, drowning in shame
When dark swallows the light
And loneliness hardens inside
The shell surrounds your heart
When dreams wither and die
Questioning your purpose in life
What’s left to live for?
The answer may not be clear
But it will come just when you need it
Someday it will be there
So hold onto hope
That one day you will know
The reason you lived through it
The black hole opens wide
Pulling you inside
Grab onto my hand
I’ll keep you here with me
Until you can see better days
You’re not alone in this
We all need to feel loved
We all need to feel love

In Repose
06:08

Now I lay me down to sleep
I hope dreams will bring me peace
If I should die before I wake
Please let them be okay
While I lay here quietly
Hoping sleep brings them peace
My mind is still racing
Such wondrous times are these
Strange days
I am floating above
My head hits the pillow and I
Am sinking into the deep
Staring down at the sky
The moon and stars fade to ghosts
As I swim through the abyss
Soaring through space
Shifting through time
So peaceful this place
Then I awake
Now I lay me down to sleep
I hope this world finds its peace
This year’s been painted red
Lined with silver in the end
Lined in silver
