An Endless Cycle // I Was More Than the Weight of My Work
The distance
Between where I am and
Where I want to be
Is always the same
Escapism prolonging escape
Circumstantial complacency
Self-destruction becomes
A means of survival
An endless cycle
The futility of
Trying to find the
Difference between
Beginning and ending
The futility of
Trying to find the
Difference between
Beginning and ending
From the burial plot
(From the burial)
In the garden
Underneath the ashen oak
(Underneath the ashen oak)
I offer one final plea
One final plea
(One final plea)
Mouth filling up with dirt
"I was more than the weight of my work"
"I was more than the weight of my work
The shadow of a dream deferred
The one who feeds you controls you
Did I ever have a choice?"
"I was more than the weight of my work
The shadow of a dream deferred
The one who feeds you controls you
Did I ever have a choice?"
Close my eyes
None of this is real
Close my eyes
None of this is real
Close my eyes
None of this is real (Disposable)
Close my eyes
None of this is real (Walls closing in)
Close my eyes
None of this is real (Replaceable)
Close my eyes
None of this is real (Walls closing in)
Close my eyes
None of this is real (Look within myself)
Close my eyes
None of this is real (Face of wax)
Close my eyes
None of this is real (Another 40 hours gone)
Close my eyes
None of this is real (This isn't living)
Close my eyes
None of this is real (Look within myself)
Close my eyes
None of this is real (Face of wax)
Close my eyes
None of this is real (Another 40 hours gone)
Close my eyes
None of this is real (This isn't living)
Bloodshot eyes
I'm alright
Second job
Still in debt
Didn't eat
Fading fast
Ghosts haunting ghosts
Bloodshot eyes
I'm on fire
Spread too thin
No Way Out
It's not safe
To be alone
Ghosts haunting ghosts
Ghosts Haunting ghosts
Between where I am and
Where I want to be
Is always the same
Escapism prolonging escape
Circumstantial complacency
Self-destruction becomes
A means of survival
An endless cycle
The futility of
Trying to find the
Difference between
Beginning and ending
The futility of
Trying to find the
Difference between
Beginning and ending
From the burial plot
(From the burial)
In the garden
Underneath the ashen oak
(Underneath the ashen oak)
I offer one final plea
One final plea

"I was more than the weight of my work
