lyrics

Seven billion bound by infinite
words
infinite
worlds
of hurt and burden
and worth in question
imperfect lettering

Misspell the better days
with empty nights
of dialogue
in skulls
out of sight

Draped in self-righteous displays
of my bold typeset uppercase
I AM EVIDENCE OF MEANINGLESS RHETORIC AND WORDS OUT OF

place.

Curled up in the cotton of monotony
(Maybe I'm just getting older)
Honesty's a suicide note tucked inside a dictionary
(Or finally feeling sober)
It's birds perched on a skyscraper staring at the ground
(Familiar faces everywhere)
It's the snow softly weeping as it seeps into Spring
(And I'm struggling to care)

We're aware there's an answer to everything somewhere above, or before, or behind in this relative, half-second fragmented prison of victimless oxygen, blood, space, and time.

I am one word
drowning in infinite.
I am one word drowning in infinite direction.
