Life feels like being strapped in tight to a car on fire, or a pitch black night without headlights so nothing follows me home because eyes take the shape of stars in my sky Put the keys in ignition and drive I’ve become an angel of terror Spread my wings, it hurts beyond measure Soaring - Sore - Forever The sky reeks It twists and turns like a pool of vomit Within each shade of night and day something feasts it’s eyes through everything, through everyone, through dreaming, through past lives I like driving fast at night without the headlights so if I were to crash they’d never see it coming Life feels like waving goodbye to those I love in the rear view mirror Within each face there’s something wrong Something feasts it’s eyes It’s here It’s devastating I don’t want to say goodbye again

Detonate 03:47
Days riddled with sunlight, I’d blow it all away All I live to be ripped wide open, it smiles down on me For every grain of sand on unconscious shores, there’s a bomb and the tick is blaring from the heavens to the ocean floor DETONATE Days riddled with sunlight, I’d blow it all away Why does it smile down on me? Shining on my insides, show it how I bleed Soaking wet with crimson that fills unconscious seas Shining on my insides, show it how I bleed Soaking wet with crimson, I feel its eyes on me Circling, we claw away back and forth until I don’t feel human Laughing down on this arena, this bloodsport Why? Staring back through the eyes of grief they’ve given me so I don’t see a worth in loving, enduring, trusting in this world that surrounds me Days riddled with sunlight, I’d blow it all away There’s a bomb for every time betrayed One for every insecurity One for every day that obliterates like war that blasts through the heavens, that blasts the ocean floor Soaking wet with crimson but fire is all it sees

Sing its song until the jaw rips off You hear them in your sleep screaming out through the night sky, down the same road where I’ll hit the lights so the stars don’t see Played in harmony with each days first breaths, so close you listen for the rapture overhead “This is it” Like a brace for impact, you wrapped me in your arms It’s like you eat yourself but you don’t start with your fingers, you start with your face giving you no call for help And still you hear it You can hear the horns start to blow Sing its song until the jaw rips off Do you sing in fear of goodbye? Will we smile hand in hand when we float up to paradise? Do you sing in fear of goodbye?

I’ve driven so far away Swerving by screaming beyond my body, beyond life, beyond space just like the angel once heard sounding broken trumpets A pitch black night without headlights, only coming through in waves felt in the shine of the early 2000’s sun Blessed be the day Will all my afterlife start with being born? My life here echoes with my scream, have I seen this all before? Am I in transcendence? Life reveals itself I can hear it speaking through this world and it warns I’ve become the target A pitch black night without headlights I’m somewhere so deep in life, like scouring for exits at the edge of the astral plane Blessed be the day Blessed be the day I pass so far away Forever For the last time
