lyrics

peace of mind
a purpose resigned
all on letting go, a systemic design
no mind to mine

but I'm on the rails
of a construct identity

a passion defined, by the unmoving past of lines
the white flag is high
as I comply
holding out for in-itself to intervene

it's a motive, the hand and not the pawn
its a burden, the bloodstain that lingers on
its a verdict, the context ephemeral
the being and nothingness
settle for nothing less

discontent with the status quo
as a remedy, complicit enemy
a lull in stereo
take back process, reclaim purpose
one that's all your own, cause they won't save you

it's a motive, the hand and not the pawn
it's a burden, the bloodstain that lingers on
it's a verdict, the context ephemeral
its a yearning that we repress, the weight that we carry
affliction set by, a blinding security
and a reliance on

a place to call your own,
without placing a single stone

awaken in the silence of the lives we carry on
an attempt unfettered
the procession, to the precipice
only flies to send us off
to yourself one better
