The Chariot 05:13
I’ve been around the world I’ve read a thousand words Nothing strikes me now Can’t put the apple back on the tree Once I’ve seen it all, I can’t unsee One, one two three A religious being So holy and pristine Maybe the holy land isn’t a place But a space inside your head I think I’m on another planet And I’m Doctor Manhattan I’m spiraling like the nautilus shell Under a mediterranean spell My cards are read The chariot, the chariot My destiny is said The chariot, the chariot Down in the desert I can hear my silence screaming Is it a lust for life Or am I just running away, running away I’ll let my spirit soar over the sands of the Sahara I caught the sunrise at Angkor I see it still in my eyes, it’s always in my eyes, the face of Bayon once upon a time I climbed, the face of Bayon once upon a time I’m alone, alone alone alone alone alone I’ve been around the world, I’ve read a thousand words I’ve been around the world, I’ve read a thousand I’ve read, I’ve read Can’t put the apple back on the tree Once I’ve seen it all, I can’t unsee I’m alone alone alone alone alone alone One, one two three, I am losing me One, one two three, I am losing me My Saharan sands are running out of time My hourglass, my hourglass I’ll watch my spirit soar over the sands of the Sahara I caught the sunrise at Angkor I see it still in my eyes, it’s always in my eyes, the face of Bayon once upon a time I climbed, the face of Bayon once upon a time Is it a lust for life Or am I just running away Is it a lust for life Or am I running away

There's no backspace key for the words that I speak Another language on repeat, I view you through your silver screen Always something in the way, always something out of place Ctrl alt delete, ctrl alt delete, ctrl alt delete. Control I make the same mistakes, I feel automated Copy and paste, it’s happening again and again I think there’s a flaw in my code Breaking through the firewall Flaw in my code Connection lost, connection lost “You have reached the voicemail box of Jen Janet. Please leave a message after the tone. I’d love to tell you that she’ll call you right back, but, well, she probably won’t.” Running low battery, no more energy What does it mean to be, human I wanna write the world on my skin So I can be sure it’s the real one I’m living in The ink of the needle Carves symbols eternal Pain just reminds me Piercing anatomy, are foreign tongues, a part of me? I need to feel connected, to the system I’m stuck in a loop, stuck in, stuck in, stuck in But this flaw, this flaw in my code I’m broken I think there’s a virus, deep inside us, I think there’s a virus, deep inside us I think, I think I think there’s a virus, deep inside us, I think there’s a virus, deep inside us I think, I think inside There’s a flaw in my code There’s a flaw in my code Ctrl alt delete, ctrl alt delete, ctrl alt delete.

The Mirror 05:24
A mirror image If I bend the light Will I reflect, will I gain insight? Into the very soul, that I’m afraid is mine The very soul that I’m afraid is mine Dispersion, and a colorful diversion From the monster inside, the one ashamed of the light Resplendent, magnificat Leroux had it right The monster’s in the darkness, in the music of the night Libertine, hedonistic dream Running Wilde No one ever stopped to think That the beauty and the beast were the same damn person Look at me, look at me Trembling, crumbling This porcelain mask of skin Is slowly dying Dying dying dying dying dying Slowly dying If I smash the glass, can I paint my own portrait? Or am I stuck in this hell Stuck in this shell Stuck in this hell Stuck with myself, with myself Beautiful creature, selfish creature A masquerade, a lying charade I’m past the point of no return, no return A mirror image If I bend the light Will I reflect, will I gain insight? Into the very soul, that I’m afraid is mine Very soul, that I’m afraid is mine

Gravity 04:53
I wish you could see who I really am Who I really am Give me purpose, so worthless Are we on the same frequency? I can’t help but worry Are you repressing the feeling Is there something I’m not seeing Gravity, I feel it in me I am the moon, and you are the tide Gravity, I feel it in me I am the moon, and you are the tide Water turns to vapor Boiling consuming changing I feel the heat, I feel, I feel you Making my way through your ocean A tourist in your hidden world Rewiring what you believe Dividing, temperature’s rising Melting me, I’m changing, expanding And then we’re floating Electricity, I feel it on me We create our own, galaxy Don’t be afraid of black holes, black holes I feel, I feel, I feel I feel free With you beside me, with you beside me No one else can fix me Delicate machinery, circuitry Let me be Now we connect, join in our gravity

What once was weak, has reached its peak A cause and effect, it’s changing, changing I am the butterfly Clip these wings, so many have tried I’ll keep a weather eye I’m not afraid to look to the sky Well I’m not satisfied Living a simple, easy lie I’m not satisfied With the simple life I don’t need your affirmation for this transformation If you want another victim, well, I don’t ask permission, no I I take what I want, now, I ignite the spark Of the wildfire raging within Catharsis, I shed this, chrysalis The rise of one, the lowliest of pawns Into a queen, the most powerful piece Chaotic, hypnotic In theory, you made me And I become, what you fear And when I’m done, I promise you’ll never forget me With enough pressure you can make a diamond You thought, you thought, you could put the fire out You thought, you thought, you could put the fire out Feel the thunder ahead, my blood is bled I will never bow down ever again Feel the thunder ahead, my blood is bled I will never bow down ever again I am the storm, I am the storm I am the sound of thunder I take what I want, now, I ignite the spark Of the wildfire raging within My metamorphosis, I’m not so delicate I am the butterfly Clip these wings, so many have tried I’m not satisfied living a simple easy lie I’m not satisfied with the simple life I am the storm, the storm, I am, I am
