lyrics

I’m waking up to feelings unfamiliar
I am the Julius Caesar among his fallen pillars
I’ll disrupt the peace like a disease of new age
I’m out of step and out of tune, and far out of place

Its unsettling when all of my emotions other than anger seem temporary
When every smile has a timer
When every sigh of relief seems short of breath

I’m casting shadows of a past
That lingers in my head
Of broken hearts and mistook steps
And all the things i’ve never said

With every stroke of my pen
I hope to find some sort of hope
And find answers in between the margins
To make sense of what i already know

Oh, this red leather bound book
The manuscript of a lost soul
Oh, this red leather bound book
The end result of dying alone

So i’ll pin it to my chest
So that I can never forget
The man that I am today
Is nothing like the boy in my head

To every lover and every friend
Look me in the eyes and see my angers spelt out in red
Be warned
I am an artist of ever-elusive form
Painting smiles over the tragedies that I hide in my head

[If you only knew... I am consumed]
