The War of Art

Lead me around And nurse my broken wing With all the promises You can never honor I just don't care enough To react to vain attempts Sent only to perpetuate One's selfish little world You won't see what I've become You'll wait and watch and still you're only let down You won't see what I've become You'll wait and watch and still you're only let down A violent reaction struggling only to keep myself alive A violent reaction struggling only to keep myself alive Now here I stand For nothing no one at all I lead you down Begging to touch you in the cold You give me a reason I will not be the one Through all the nonsense There is a constant You won't see what I've become You'll wait and watch and still you're only let down You won't see what I've become You'll wait and watch and still you're only let down Cause this feeling Has dawned the face of you Cause this feeling Has dawned the face of you A violent reaction struggling only to keep myself alive A violent reaction struggling only to keep myself alive A violent reaction struggling only to keep myself alive A violent reaction struggling only to keep myself alive No You won't see what I've become You won't see what I've become You won't see what I've become You won't see what I've become Cause this feeling Has dawned the face of you A violent reaction struggling only to keep myself alive A violent reaction struggling only to keep myself alive A violent reaction struggling only to keep myself alive A violent reaction struggling only to keep myself alive

I can still watch those eyes Crawling over her dress until I could show you everything But I don't have to hear the words 'Cause I already feel your thoughts So it comes as no surprise That all the intent is real And all the suspects are right And if we stop It all falls down Cover my eyes Obey my ignorance To purify you Ill only watch you rot Without malicious intent Your doubt resembles someone else Stick the needles in me Stick the needles in Stick the needles in Stick the needles in And if we watch It all come down Breathe and let it go Dropped and winding Fuck your confession Fuck your confusion Fuck your confession Fuck your confusion Dissolve my insides And make it hide Crawling on diginity That which you do to me Hold on forever The fair day we Weather

Stink-filled spasms Deep in a colostomy bag I like being trapped inside The plastic's wearing out Red and perfect, her legs Spread out in front of me They're so open they make me sweat It's my lubrication Recent findings say Circumcise the abstinent Make it hard for them to breathe I like to make you lie Dropped and so ill Steeped in my misogyny My shaking hands are in the skin I've gone too far, too soon You look so seamless now She stared at me Thinking I was sweet to it Her legs tied apart for me It feels so good inside Now I'm thinking Who's this that lies under me Needs a piece of my respect You make me so sick, I'm Crawling, broken My face is cringing to see Figures drawn inside of me Succumb, succumb, succumb Sickness fittings Procured this fascist medium But now I'm laughing in your face You lie, you lie, you lie You look so seamless now Take me, take my life

Freedom is everything Resolve impossible You prayed for rain Ignoring the flood You took me with you To heaven And back again Bleed to remember That everything ends Blind and looking forward I can see the shapes But can't make out the faces Still they come in close Excuse this ugly shell my Gaping holes drip pride A systematic shutdown Of diminishing returns Nothing gets easier gets! Nothing gets easier gets! I held you down On the day of the lord 31 marks like the day I was born I called you beautiful Before I knew you Watch me destroy it Then set myself free Still so dead and frozen We all survive it Restraints brought Back for color The most insulting guilt Such sweet attractive layers Let me remove them all Nothing gets easier gets! Nothing gets easier gets! Bring me home Let me down Send me back Collecting the phases The less I give Its easier The more we give Its nothing Nothing gets nothing gets Nothing gets nothing gets Nothing gets nothing gets Nothing gets nothing gets
