this welcoming ghost won't say what he knows the eyes of our lovers won't help us to move the weight of the the earth that burdened our fathers that they passed on to us I didn't see us feeding the masses with just our good luck our memorized prayers, songs on repeat no hail marias, just keep breathing deep this exiting train of thoughts in a daze to the sunset we go, forget what we know it's the ends of the earth, the edge of the ground we had to be lost to know what we found: the old fading out, while we caved in now is the time I said what you said exact and in key "coincide with yourself, sell yourself to the deep" this is just a rerun, it will happen again I hope you will know what is best now is the time

spoiled heirs and violent brutes there are ancients in this house stolen glances are your favorite place to be this soul is terrified this book cannot be read for longer these eyes are terrified this book cannot be read for longer this text is simply fleeting and old if beauty's in the eye of the beholder, what's left to behold? Am I at the mercy of those who find the beauty in me?

When I hang ten, I lie all the time When you make you friends, I die inside Well I'm safe, safe as the sound, the life of the party (is it here?) how I know It takes me too long to get there on my own Well I'm safe, safe as the sound the life of your party ( is it me?) how I know I won't get there without your help I'm safe, safe as the sound, yes I'm safe - safe as the sound
