Cry

Open up your eyes
And curse the wretched sky
Now is your time to cry
Hurt and afraid
The light slowly fades
Allow yourself to break and cry
Cry
On the verge of a burst of the heart
You said “I shan’t be shallow”
With light comes inexorable dark
Leaves you frail, fragile, and hollow
All the feelings that you abhor
Let go and spew them forth
Tears begin to pour as you cry
At last, a sweet release
Catharsis, then at peace
Tears upon your cheeks now dry
They dry
As you cry

Beneath my Skin

Alone in this dark
Blinded and bound to my panicking heart
I can feel it beneath my skin and it’s festering within me
The light up ahead gets farther with each step I take
How much longer can I take it?
I feel I’m breaking
I don’t feel safe inside my own mind
I’m having thoughts that were never ever meant to be mine
Maybe I’m just changing for better or worse
But changing for good nonetheless
And oh, yes, it hurts
But maybe this is just another ripple in time
To watch as it slowly drifts by

Flashing pictures on my screen
Gone too quickly to be seen
Does not register in the conscious mind
Propaganda of another kind
They’re fuckin’ with me subliminally (x2)
[Chorus]:
Flashing pictures on my screen
Gone too quickly to be seen
Does not register in the conscious mind
Propaganda of another kind
Nightmare!
They fuck with me subliminally (x4)
Watching T.V., I start to cry
For no reason, I don’t know why
Could it be from messages on my T.V.
Which I’m getting subliminally
They’re fuckin’ with me subliminally (x2)
[Chorus]
Mind control, the easiest way
Sponsored by the C.I.A.
It’s a weapon you cannot see
It’s propaganda subliminally
They’re fuckin’ with me subliminally (x2)
