lyrics

Some will say they've summarized me Some may say they've summarized me Some have said they have surmised my nothing Though I'd like to see some try I say some will sum things Summarize my nothing Though not to surmise Summarize me then summarize again, fuck I must have been so far gone To be another dim light No one's ever been misconstrued like you Feel my noise Oh, saying now Wings fall from sky Tethered to a memory Fading, distant, euphoric cries to seek the end The blank card fits with the cadence of intelligent thoughts Imposters abound, blended into old colours This I know, wings will fall I don't know, nothing's fault

This Condition 03:28

Darkening boarders Siphoning softened Augury Corners and portals Transported onward Disheartening pouring Brandishing upholding Abberations gone amiss Relinquishing

Mask-like Face 12:13
lyrics
Blood-rush From toe to head Another gaze At mask, at face Another gaze At face, the mask erased A sore sight for sorry eyes A fresh breath of deathly air Just another string of theories Proven wrong but justified In a truly nerving mind Mined but never justified This sore sight to eyes like mine, two sorry eyes I have, a pair of sorry eyes, almost blind, cannot find My mind tempts me to see beyond the boundaries of my eyes, though my eyes never adjust to light The light on the other side is too dark to justify a straining sight to my sorry eyes, a blood-rush the mind justifies
