Who I Am 03:29
What. If I started to feel? Does that mean that I’m real? If you thought that you think, Does that mean anything? It started with a dream that I had, I awoke into a foreign bed It was there that I found this man That you hear But this will be the last time (You live ‘til you die) I swear, (you live ‘til you die) I’ll be going round in circles again (you live just to die) If you wanna be so close then, (you live just to die) To the end Wake up. As I live I will die, So what gives? I asked why. So it seems, Oh God, It’s time I move on.

Then I stood tall and free The whole world just looked at me Suddenly I felt naked again Thinking how did this all begin? Oh, you don’t have to believe in anything You know? Man, you could just let this one go Overcome your fear and vanity. If I was dying what would you say to me? You know I’m dying so won’t you say something? Then I stood tall and free The whole world now beneath me Suddenly I felt naked again Thinking how did this all begin? Oh, you don’t have to believe in anything You know? Man, you could just let this one go Overcome your fear and vanity. If I was dying what you say to me? Then I couldn’t quite see I soon felt very weak My body started to speak for me And I met release In my bed Then my legs and my head Oh but it wasn’t the end I was surrounded by mourning friends And my family then And each asked again For more time I couldn’t spend.

There will come a day when I can’t explain things to you no more cause I’ll be gone right out the door so long for now you will know my name as it drips from my brow like the sweat in my eyes as I perspire in this damn bed, wish my head would work the same way so I could tell how I feel but there will come a day when I am well again and we will still be friends all until the end, which you don’t think comes soon as It may you will expect things differently if I do too, we will be strong in the face of things we take apart and I will grow old with you ------------------------------------------------------------- There will come a time when I am on your mind, but I will be gone, far from this plain we’re on, and Im sorry to tell you that I probably wont be coming back. It’s a one ticket trip all across the world, farther than you’d think it ever go on, sorry that I’m not here to stay. When I’ve gone away, my soul is not in place, Where you thought you’d be til you died too, we will grow old in our house, I will never leave with you at my side, I feel relief from all these things, surely you can sing to me. I just want to know you one last time. I don’t have you anymore; I feel badly I just want your hand to hold in mine Suffering alone, not a challenge just a home and it is lonely I’m lonely again. So say goodbye Don’t say goodbye, So say goodbye Don’t say Goodbye So say goodbye Don’t say goodbye again, Don’t say goodbye again. ------------------------------------------------------------ Now that I’ve grown old, and my bones must go, Im out the door, everyone you knew is on the floor, just waiting for the buzz to stop it’s endless beating. I just want to go, Im tired of this rope, this skin that keeps me in, I just wish I could swim in the water once more, the life giving stuff that I adore I don’t want to say goodbye though. I don’t want to say goodbye though. I don’t want to say goodbye though, to everyone I love. I just can’t say goodbye though, I just can’t say goodbye though to everyone I love Im sorry, I have to go.

Oh it’s astounding All my surroundings Now Blend into one And I become Undone. Something’s wrong with my skin Where’s it going? Sometimes it’s not worth knowing Sometimes it’s not worth knowing. Do you find that you feel tired? Would you like to take a break from this? Do your eyes hurt? Can you smile? Will you lie down and fade away? Will you fade away? (Don’t) (So) RUN.

Say Words 04:18
We see that you have arrived safely Thank you for coming home We see that you could use a little debriefing Well, let us know! So if you’re tryna let go Let go. You don’t want to hold on? Cast off. Just take your time with it We can tell a little from a lot So don’t worry no more. (crowd talking) Oh ain’t it funny how we talk? Move our mouths to make it not Feel So lonely I swear, By the time you hear my voice I will just be noise to you Then soon I’ll be gone Oh no you can’t speak here. So don’t say your words at me Oh no you can’t speak; hear, So don’t you say your words at me.

Kanis Dynastes As it started to feel Kanis Dynastes He became to us real Kanis Dynastes For the young from the Old Kanis Dynastes As the story was told Kanis Dynastes Birthed to his people Kanis Dynastes In fire and blood Kanis Dynastes In the air and the mud Kanis Dynastes He stands as he should Kanis Dynastes The last of his kind Kanis Dynastes A very rare find Kanis Dynastes The beast with a mind Kanis Dynastes Oh such a very rare find Kanis Dynastes Alive again Alive again Alive again Alive again Alive again Alive again Alive again Alive again Alive again

Good times He brings To us He sings His songs In all His glory It’s time now, come gather round And see The Dog become the King a dog becomes a king Im Not Real, So Cannot Say Fate Has Made Us fools Today Fragile Face, Eternal Grace We All Must Die Or Endlessly Wait So I’ll Go. I’ll Go Away And Never Come Back (Oh no You Can’t leave HERE) Tell yourself now That you know that you want Tell yourself now What you know that you want Tell yourself now That you know what you want. I want to be nothing I want to be empty.

im so tired 02:37
Helpless Gods wish To remiss amnesia’s kiss To quench this Clenched fist My body is a mess And a miss. Sleep tower Of old power Wrapped in plastic Manufactured Bliss To wake up Breath and Piss Do I taste life? Or my own shit? Im so tired of it Free Soul Only Bound to Beauty Tall Walker; Fine Breathe. Sweet Mess of Life.

There will come a time And there will be a place When I don’t know your name And you don’t know my face But we will meet again I promise you this My friend You will have those days When you won’t hear my voice You will miss these signs Caught up in the noise Sent to make you feel A little less sad For now So say goodbye, Just say goodbye, Don’t say goodbye, Just say goodbye, Don’t say goodbye, So say goodbye, Just say goodbye, To me. This life remains a spell, Resounding apathy. My disembodied head Wants nothing from me. Only to be dead Lusting after sweet release. My physical self, Will no longer be, But you can always trust, In the spirit of me I will love you then As sure as I do Right now I will be the leaves, Drifting in still wind I will be the sun The warmth to breach your skin You will feel me there I only hope to share Again. If I started to feel, Does that mean I’m real? If I started to think, I know it means Nothing If my body was weak Will it Release? If my time is now done What then Will cease? So say goodbye Just say goodbye So say goodbye Just say goodbye now So say goodbye Just say goodbye Please say goodbye To me.
