lyrics

Staring down the figure in the mirror
Watching as the lines my mind draws disappear
Left observing the watchers form
Nothing but stories in a hidden core
Words can name, describe the parts
But the whole, the witness, remains untouched

No grasping the form
No matter to cling to
Just a ghost in the flow
Pretending to be you

I is the lie

Soon enough, this moment too will pass
And these fleeting memories will never last
Eroded by waves of drudgery and pain
Clouding out the clarity of your gaze

Distractions misguide you
They're thieves in the maze
Teasing with treasure
They steal away your name

I is the lie

Trapped in the cycle
Of lucidity and sleep
Hidden by biology
Within the castle keep

Dream through the sequence
Just keep in mind that you're ceaseless
Keep calm and fearless
Don't blame yourself when you regress

Don't blame yourself

There's no use to fight
No leaving the compound
The infinite cackles
As reaction doubles the pain

I is the Lie
I is the Lie

Dream through the sequence
Just keep in mind that you're ceaseless
Keep calm and fearless
Don't blame yourself when you regress
