1. A Slight Amplification
Always knew there was something more
pushing against my skin I kept it down
A man turns failures in on himself
Swallows them hard to protect the ones he loves
Each mistake adds to what I am
one more sick morsel I cannot keep down
In the weak gut of modern man
but his past is his future through science he'll rise from a shadow
Father teach me
through our blood
Man's true form
My new gift
your ambition
Man's great flaw
Rage, Power and Freedom - sustained orgasm of ripping our world
End the age of repression - the meek and unworthy lay dead with their laws
In the wound where opportunity rots
you can predict where the maggots collect
Thus comes time for my heavy hands
Clean the sore, allow man to evolve
A skin of fear, thin and common as a promise holds me together
Wet and crumbling, my prison drew strength only from an obsolete life
Father teach me
through mother's blood
Potential
Just one murder
a memory
Open door
Rage, Power and Freedom - shedding humanity to be God
Grace, Beauty and Anger - the strong inherit a world made of stone
Rage, Power and Freedom - savior of hatred, saint of arms
A slight amplification of all the things we're meant to be
2. Overhead
There's a place in time we all occupy
Unfit answers tell that there is some purpose
Dig deep and you'll find you're part of the program-
A complex solution to a simple equation
Some things don't change
The rules still stand
As higher power
ALL quite low
No god knows you're dreams and ideals
They're just a small mal/function of life defined by time
All of our reasons are lies
Slave to one colorless sky
I've been living life in between days
When all our shit today gets rethought for tomorrow
I don't drink from sleep so I see the connections
How all our hopes and love fit in a simple equation
Clear, exposed
The answer stands
What we are
We all know
But no one wants to say aloud
And make it more true - mal/function of life defined by time
All of our reasons are lies
Slave to one...
Try to believe in color in gray
3. Wingspan
Yesterday I was ten feet tall, now I am broken and waiting on a line for events to change and go my way -
in two days passing
Yesterday I was sinking down into the pavement but now I'm alive and full of precedent like never before -
just like an old memory
Stand for the first time
Weakly stretch my thawing arms
Know your own Wingspan
Find your voice through failure
Scars upon your hands
Frailty lies in mighty words
Strength in your Wingspan
Find your voice in abstract sound
Flooding through your heart
Everyday I'm recycling all of my reasons and trying to define all the infinite roads I could take -
and getting nowhere
Realize there's an end to life, discrete and bordered - never fade away - rather die with dreams than watch them decay
every day should tell a tale
Carry on, right or wrong
Stand again, face the end
of security
Found my voice through failure
Scattered sound aligned
