If you ask what cycle
I just can't say
Just know it's been turning
With all gas no brakes
But this time, this time my shoes sink deeper
And the ground will crack with every footfall
The sun hanging overhead stifling
And slowing my path forward
Drifting in circles
Tightening, the cycle accelerates with blinding speed
Obscuring the oasis I seek endlessly
CIRCLE CIRCLE
IT ALL COMES FULL CIRCLE
EVERY STEP STRAIGHT
AS WE ROTATE TIME'S ARROW
CIRCLE CIRCLE
IT ALL COMES FULL CIRCLE
DO NOT TEMPT FATE
AS WE SPIRAL IN SHADOW
CIRCLE CIRCLE
IT ALL COMES FULL CIRCLE
EVERY STEP STRAIGHT
AS WE ROTATE TIME'S ARROW
CIRCLE CIRCLE
THE WORK SLEEP DIE CIRCLE
DECAYING IN VAIN
FOR YOUR MASTER'S FALSE IDOL
Seek the water as the last of your life drains away
As you're stuck retreading this path again and again and again
As the shriveling silencing glare pierces your skin
Accelerating the straight line towards the inside
But never approaching the well as we drown
As we just wish to leave
As we just wish to leave
Please.... I just want to leave...

Flattening (Demo)

When you fear every human life but mine
What's left of your soul's on borrowed time
When you fear every human life but mine
What's left of your soul's on borrowed time
Keep it small, hold it back, every spark's misleading
You're not like them so hide your meaning
Weather, sports and results of breeding
Flatten all your thoughts or you'll stop breathing
(Please let me out)
Keep it small, hold it back, every spark's misleading
(I'm begging to breath)
You're not like them so hide your meaning
(You're crushing your soul)
Weather, sports and results of breeding
(Please try to see)
Flatten all your thoughts or you'll stop breathing
Shut down
Shut out
Flatten
Burn out
Now
What was I missing?
Nothing I could ever know
The spirit is deception
The soul a seed that should never grow
Don't connect, hide your soul, every joy is fleeting
The mask is wearing you, so keep on bleeding
Jobs, cars, lawns, and results of scheming
Every shallow word's a shield that you're wielding
(Please let them in)
Don't connect, hide your soul, every joy is fleeting
(I'm begging to see)
The mask is wearing you, so keep on bleeding
(You're shedding your depth)
Jobs, cars, lawns, and results of scheming
(Please don't miss the key)
Every shallow word's a shield that you're wielding
