The Rack and the Wheel
Sigh, the patterns play
Till I'm no longer made
I'm faded
Sigh, you are unreal
I am the rack
You are the wheel
I am the rack
You are the wheel
I am the rack
You are the wheel
Sigh the patterns play
I’m no longer me, I’m faded
You are unreal
I am the rack
You are the wheel
I am the rack
You are the wheel
I am the pill
But I was wrong
You couldn't feel
Gone, you draw me out
Like I'm a poison
The patterns play
I suffer long
Till I'm no longer made
I'm faded
I am unreal
You are the rack
I am the wheel
Sigh, the patterns play
Till I’m no longer made
I’m faded
You are unreal
I am the rack
You are the wheel
I am the rack
You are the wheel
Sigh, the patterns play
I’m no longer made
I’m faded
You are unreal

Dervish
This knife was a gift from a guy
That I met on a Saturday night
He told me if I hold it right
That I could cut a hole through time
Through time
And if I lie before the Delphi
Protect me from the hell of self I make
Cross my fingers, let them break
You give and give and never take
Open, you said you would
Open, you said you would
Open, you said you would
We all wish for some more
Thrown across the room
Against the door
Corner, corner
Beg for some light
Just a little on the inside
On the inside
I know it seems almost true
When those incantations are used
Against you
Cross your fingers until they break
You give and you give
Never take—

The Angel and the Haint
Where there’s perfection, there’s a stain
Where there’s a sinner, there’s a saint
And no, this isn’t a complaint
Is something that I notice when you’re silent, getting strange
Is something that I notice when my head gets rearranged
Where there’s inception, there is fate
Where there’s rejection, an embrace
And no, this isn’t what you think
Is something that I notice when you’re closer like a blade
Is something that I notice when my body’s feeling caged
Where there’s elation, there’s a fake
Where there’s an angel, there’s a haint
And no, that lion won’t be tamed
Is something that I notice when you wander out the frame
Is something that I notice when I’m feeling like a slave
Where there’s protection, there’s a switch
Where there’s obsession, there’s a witch
And no this isn’t a promise
Is something that I notice when the downs follow the bliss
Is something that I notice when the chamber meets the click
Where would you
Pray to?
The open sky that don’t ever look
back to you?

Sometimes I Can't Say

Sometimes I Can’t Say
Sometimes I can’t say the things that I want
I’ve got a secret, and it’s gonna haunt you again
If there’s a future, then I don’t believe it
Sometimes I wake and can’t even remember my name
It’s true, if you only knew
If you only knew
I love you, I love you, I love you
Sometimes the spirits inside me get tangled
Can’t see past the moment, the color of anger
If there’s a way out, I’ll take the prescription
Get on a plane and fly into the reason I knew
I love you, I love you, I love you

Ah, you say
You are a slave
To your belief in me
I'm here to set you free
Ah, you say
You are a slave
To your belief in me
I'm here to set you free
I'm not gonna take it
I do not have the patience
Controlling your absence
Withholding your presence
I'm not gonna take it
I do not have the patience
For philosophical treatises
You got something to teach me?
Like Axl Rose in the eighties
I do not have the "Patience"
For your stoic persuasion
A logical presentation
I'm not gonna take it
I do not have the patience
To build a castle you're burning down
A king who crushes his own crown
You're scared you might find yourself happy
Get a little bit "Sappy," but
You don't know
You don't know
You don't know
Me
Nothing's real
You cannot see
You cannot feel
You cannot be
Here
With me
Ah, you say
You are a slave
To your belief in me
I'm here to set you free
Ah, you say
You are a slave
To your belief in me
I'm here to set you free
