Living in daytight compartments
No one will see your weakness
You are the material from which you build
There are consequences to living
To grasping at strangers' affection
The days can't go slower that side of the end
The sky is too big, can't contain it
Fate from an open void
The only future worth speaking of is present
When one is starved, the plainest meal is full of flavor
Faith, being sure, thinking - it's all relative
God and the Devil are just the world's bastards pulling together
I pull myself into existence
Through things that I have neglected
Severed by time, bound by action
No way to escape it
---
The same gestures of trust
Always in the same circumstances
Across a thousand different backgrounds
From a million points of reference
Your intensity's just one variable
Don't tell me, tell it to yourself!
Just because I am today
Won't mean I'll be the same tomorrow
Most of life is noise and sorrow
Yeah, most of life is noise and sorrow
There is no next plateau, is there?
Just matter to grind up
Your language dissects me
And maybe that's right...
