What is there but to behold
What is there but to control the kindling
Casting shadows on your soul
We can harness, we can mold you
What a lovely specimen
We’d be glad to take you in
I used to be a lot like you
Unbridled fire, deadly gloom
I kissed nirvana for a night
They gave me pills and took my
Sight unseen, my teenage dream,
I can guess what brings you here to me.
I can hear your dendrites scream
with excruciating energy
There’s a pill for everything
We just have to ascertain what you need
There’s a pill for everything
We’ll just have to cut you open and see

Nowhere Near The Blade

Take a breath, it’s only oxygen you’re losing after all
Pay no mind to any notion that the walls are closing in
Look around at all the evidence you’re safe inside this room
Remember me, remember every time I held your hand to tell you this
[Chorus]
When you feel that too-familiar pulling in your lungs
Just count backwards; it isn’t death you’re running from
When you feel the acid bubbling up inside your lungs
Have no fear; your thread is nowhere near the blade
Now you see just how deceitful all the ghosts inside you are
Let them know you won’t surrender to their woeful cries, their clever bribes
I send my love, send it like countless troops to penetrate the walls
Watch them burn, watch them disintegrate beneath my hands, my steady hands
[Chorus]
Please don't let it take you down
Don't let it take you down
Don't let it take you down

The Abducted

I'm alive
inside this prison cell;
on this ship, I look
out to find
what I remember.
Light-years passing by
outside my window in the night.
Out in the starlight
my mind starts to
wander through the
cosmic divide.
Wading through
star fields and
tumbling past planets,
I soar through these skies
on my wings made of chains.
My body is restrained,
but my heart reaches for you.
In my mind
I am on my way to you.
Never really wondering how
I'll make it through.
Somewhere, out among the stars,
you'll be waiting.
Galaxies
are ever changing.
Feeling the silence breathing,
I think aloud,
"Where are you now?"
Choking on stale and dank
recycled air, I can now
feel artificial gravity
crush me.
Like some kind of dream,
I think about what it could mean.
If in an instant,
my life became
nothing more than
what they should need.
Wading through
star fields and
tumbling past planets,
I soar through these skies
on my wings made of chains.
My body is restrained,
but my heart reaches for you.
In my mind
I am on my way to you.
Never really wondering how
I'll make it through.
Somewhere, out among the stars,
you'll be waiting.
Galaxies
are ever changing
us.

Who knows
What this body is capable of
When the sparks fly from my fingertips
I feel alive
Would it be better if I turned it in
Worlds better in a world without my --
no -- hang on --
pull yourself together
the burning’s not so bad
it just makes you want to
set
the
whole
damn
thing ablaze
makes you want to
rip
your
self
limb from limb
i should sleep
maybe go get some air
but
something is tying my hands
Who knows
What this body is capable of
When the sparks fly from my fingertips
I feel alive
Would it be better if I turned it in
Worlds better in a world without my --
no!
don’t let it get to you, don’t let it get to you
don’t let it get to you, don’t let it get to you --
I
don’t
know
how much
longer I
can
withstand this
let the
embers fly
