Red light
You murdered me for curiosity
This king has no clothes
Reach out to me so I can be set free
Help me believe in honesty
I am aware of the tremors in this path in which were bound to stumble
Circumstantial equality
Unorthodox ambiguity
But I have not forgot to personify forgiveness and passion
A metamorphosis my darling
Like a butterfly in chrysalis
Like a butterfly, chrysalis
Like a butterfly in chrysalis
Like a butterfly, chrysalis
We're becoming our future selves
Shower all I hear in your love
Shower all I hear in your love
Shower all I hear in your love
I will shower all that I hear in your love for you are my beacon
One truth, the only reason
Let kindness honesty and passion resonate from you
One truth, the only reason
Let kindness honesty and passion resonate from you
Like a butterfly you can be complete
Like a butterfly you can be set free
Like a butterfly you can be set free
Like a butterfly you can be complete
Like a butterfly you can be complete
And I will not pry
Be the one to push you around
As you pry away
I will be the one who sets you free

A logical mind is a closed mind and the adverse is so naive
If this is all for not then we are all lost
Purpose retracted
I swear these forces - they torture me and lead me astray
Until a mighty gust of wind blows them all away
For a brief moment
The calm before the downpour
I leave enlightened yet always return
Without motivation
I'm the biggest hypocrite I know
If I had the will to change I'd have changed years ago
Its just feels like I'm a rat in a maze
Destined to fail but asked to desperately try
How can I ignore the shreds of beauty in this world?
These sights and wonders are beyond my comprehension
My cynicism reduced to ignorance
But what of those without a hope
Who hardened their hearts?
Who hardened their hearts?
Extol the miracle of temporary life and potential destruction
Orchestrated. Premeditated.
Guided, Hopeful.
Who am I?
Who am I?
Who am I to deny untenable love?
Limit reality

The search for forever
Life begins at the end of your comfort zone
Experience is what happens when you don't get what you want
Believing in each others light, in each others dreams
I'm feeling way too alive
It exhumes from every pore and shimmers in every nerve.
Why can't you feel the same way?
I love this world, but it is so unkind
So unforgiving, be the beacon, true honesty
They may not like what they see, but at least it's not hidden
Minding your presence but my shadow is dying in your radiance
Like the sun, block, shade
Like the sun, block, shade
I love this world, but it is so unkind
So unforgiving, be the beacon, true love

Conjure up a fictitious decision and choose blindly
This is the only chance you'll get (the only chance you'll get)
True love is the willingness to...
Risk everything you have or everything you want
Deciding what you'll risk will define your existence
A turning of tides is all that's needed to tear you apart
Oh brave coward - dive in, dive in, dive in.
Dive in! Dive in! Dive in...
So hoist your sail, almighty one, and face the storm head on
At least you'll drown with closure
A solid rock against a wild ocean
A solid rock against a wild ocean
A solid rock against a wild ocean
A solid rock against a wild ocean
Rise from the dead, oh heavy hearted, your life starts now
Rise from the dead, oh heavy hearted, your life starts now
Rise from the dead, oh heavy hearted, your life starts now
Oh how distance can dissolve and shift your focus
Oh how distance can dissolve and shift your focus
Oh how distance can dissolve and shift your focus
Oh how distance can dissolve and shift your focus
I just know I can't have it both ways and I'll never be satisfied
Look into these eyes
Look into these eyes
Classified by those who really have no say
It breaks me down
It breaks me down and shines right through
I just know I can't have it both ways and I'll never be satisfied

After all the cattle have been bled
The wines been cheered to the dead
Made from the bloodshed
The cattle have been bled
The wines been cheered to the dead
Made from the bloodshed
Through treacherous lies
I've seen the skies change from grey to white
To see the end of this fight, it's taken all of my might
And it's taken over my mind
But now I can finally see what this world means to me
What makes it real and what makes you feel valuable - because you're cherished by those unexpected and unseen
To see the end of this fight, it's taken all of my might
It's taken over my mind but now I can finally see
What this world means to me
What makes it real, and what makes you feel alive?
Alive - for once in your life - alive
And these paths unseen are usually the paths most often tread
But not in this case, no, not with us
We were told of our fate, but we fought
For what we wanted to be right, but was so wrong
It was oh so wrong, it was so wrong
The underlying factor will remain the same
I've seen the skies change from grey to white
To see the end of this fight, it's taken all of my might
To prove it to you and push it right through is all I really need
To prove it to you and push it right through is all I really need
Know it was wrong of you to think so clear
So clear I was transparent
Know it was wrong of you to think so clear
So clear I was transparent
So clear, I, your brother
Your brother, transparent
Your brother, transparent
So clear, I, your brother
Your brother, transparent

A frailty, a fracture
The final line between you and I
The way your eyes and gentle gestures have graced my life
Has only opened me up into
A cycle of inconsistencies
Used to the cold
Numbness, my home
Our numbness, my home
As I watch her climb to boundless self-endearment, I can only cry
What if, all is for not, and when we go our separate ways you leave with more pride than I, more confidence than before?
And I'm left wondering if enhancing your self-worth was a fault
Tempt not a desperate man
As this feral sickness succumbs with every passing gesture of belief
I cannot help myself
Stumble myself into disbelief and concoctions of the hostile kind in my mind
Losing hope in genuineness
Ripples firmly through every aspect of reason
Every aspect of reason, it's wrong I know
But can we see beneath the surface, personal agendas, coordinate our lives
Personal agendas coordinate our lives
Personal, personal, personal, personal agenda
Personal, personal, personal - personal!
And ultimately drive you
Drive you deeper into the black
A realist surrealist
A malice-fuelled malcontent
Your overwhelming aphid similarities
Self-known pariah
Manage your expectations
A realist surrealist
A malice-fuelled malcontent
Your overwhelming aphid similarities
A realist surrealist
A malice-fuelled malcontent
Your overwhelming aphid similarities
Socially accepted, self-known pariah
Manage your, manage your expectations
Manage your...
