ON BROKEN WINGS LYRICS

1. The Procession

2. Quicksand Breaths

Get from in front of me
Got to get it done. Get it boy, get it right
Must have monopolies, embrace success of slavery

It's for you, all yours for the taking
Embrace the sand

They were never what I pretended to be
Compared to permission, forgiveness could be so easy
Closing eyes become a demon's sinking teeth

I see a lot of things
I can see the mask, see the man, see inside
For all the clarity, the shame's to say I didn't see this coming

My mother said that there'd be days like this
My father says its how his whole life's been
The thing I want I'll have no second chance at
There is no saving life, I won't be resurrected

Now the sand is surrounding us
The sound of sand's drowning out your words

3. The Swamp

4. Dragging Weight

Light won't reach beyond the atmosphere that I create
I can still hear them sing the song of all of us

There's an escape. It's cold stone steps, down your neck
Your hand can guide, but I can see it leads a long way down
And I foresee it can't compete with all of this violence

Violence as a means to ending suffering
Perpetuate my violence
The habit creatures, circle learning, try to take it from me

My tower view remains a prison cell. My habits breaking me
There's always something in the way of me escaping

From tops of tower stairs I see how it ends
Beyond the atmosphere, beyond my arrogance
From tops of tower stairs I see the violence
Violence as a way of bringing suffering, perpetuate violence
The habit creatures, circle learners. Turning, running from me

An esoteric, over specialized, willful disconnect? Yeah
But it's giant steps from arrogance

5. Rubik's Cube Obsession

I'll break this down until there's no other way
I've seen the space and there's no way around
But if I could get this, there, without disturbing these…

I've learned a map. It rotates in my palm

It could be alright. Tell me what you know
I've built a life repairing my embarrassment, it's nothing at all

I've been here once, but here I go again
I've seen the space where movement is allowed
The oversights now, are smaller tragedies
I've cried for less. But then again, I've
Built a life repairing my embarrassment
I swear that I can handle it
If you tell me what you know

I'll make it better, I'll change forever if
You tell me everything you know

6. Kunomuia

Believe me, you're not deserving of deceiving
But we're a pair of lies
And I mean all my promises, but now I'm here fucking feigning
Even attempts at my suicide. Still, at the time I know I meant what I did

Believe me you're receiving long lost lights
And though I meant the words that I said,
I'm too fucked up to even know wrong from right most of the time

I'm not meant to be meant

Wait
Please wait

7. Crowns Meant For Kings

Pour your heart out
The puddle's deep, but not enough
Temporary walls, perforated seems, still not enough

I'm not man enough to see what it takes to make a man, a man
But that's alright
The hesitation was a blink, and now my eyes
Locked out all night and that's OK too

Have things been this way for a long time?
Have you felt this way for a long time?
Because as I stare out on the vastness, I muse upon my life
Both I find, are empty

Bring it in to my knees again
I must help myself to bleed the wounds I've seen dug in
Piercing skin, tearing flesh, open the pane to emptiness
Incarcerate me, I'll watch you procreate
My life to view now
On display for me to watch
There was a levity to everything when I had you
But I had to burn that bridge too

8. The Garden

9. Dirt Nap

Fabricate the disarray you're stuck in
Back and forth, the world still turns in one direction

Dominate, then situate the everlasting life
Return to suffering, then bring forth the infant stages of an all time low
It's regurgitation of a life I'd long since left for dead
Born/bred/buried, left for dead

Encased in tombs
Entombed in bindings
With pages so far from suffered
We're so far from breaking through. It's so long until light
It's tonight we fall into two

10. The Box

11. Ego Ideal

Both blind and blindfolded, bringing redemption to disease
Now your face is facing our feet
Slowed to slow motion…
And so far out of our pace

What was discussed was forgotten, but my disgustion never once was
They're wearing different masks for one big face
Nothing will change. Every day the same
But if I can't be just what I say, misfortune has smiled on me
And there is no redemption
