LYRICS:

Rogue guardians betray their duty
Rogue guardians betray their duty

Red radar, transcribing threats
Oxygen voids all tanks
Suffocatingly drawing flaws from blanks
Distressing me with dancing destinies
Unknown to me
Forced to fit within this vessel I didn't seek
My spirit projected

Scratching from inside my skin for something I could never be
Magnetic anomaly, polarizing equilibrium
Chasing wind and water, a medium I'm designed to falter in
Giving in, or giving up

Giving in or giving up

Choices seem pointless
as they drag me back to the beach
Stabilizing my anxieties
so they can feel accomplished

IV threads sew my soul to the moment

United guardians who never make eye contact
Their eyes are on me
A red line that must avoid equilibrium
Lest past failures be exacerbated
Crystal clear mortality
Juxtaposed purpose
Sisyphean legacy

Sins of the father used as clay
Compulsively structuring with malaise

Scratching from inside my skin for something I could never be
Magnetic anomaly, polarizing equilibrium
Chasing wind and water, a medium I'm designed to falter in
Giving in, or giving up

"Heads held high above freshly packed graves
Denounced for my compulsion to cope in the haze
Words spoken true in a moment's notice
Until words are spoken true at a moment's notice
Pack my things and escape before they notice
With no lessons learned and without my notice
I seek pleasure in the sins I've inherited
Facing the music at the failure of preventatives
A life to live sucked into the winds avoided
Choices were anointed, yet the guilt is un-avoided
Sisyphean tasks that seem so absurd, I can hardly bear
I numb myself with poison to pretend I never cared
An existence hardly fathomed, and less so prepared
Blame isn't the answer, life isn't fair
Acid-washed ideals reach like waves I can't ignore
A rip tide of guilt drags my soul from the shore
Stagnantly envisioned prisons of imaginative lore
Back below the labyrinth of expectations, I adorn"

Make the earth move, there’s no way you can know that I’m gonna pull through
Make the earth move, there is no savior greater than what is meant to
Let us not grow weary of doing good, for we’ll receive a harvest at the proper time
If we do not give up
