I'm looking to find
a humbling divine
to lead me
away from my past
i act insincere
because i'm hiding from what i fear
of loosing
when you walk away
but don't write me off just yet
because this guilt can get so heavy
my emotions are bound up
behind the walls that where my heart is found
and i'm building up my strength
to break love free
when you're poisoned young
the craving lingers on your tongue
and tricks you
in paranoia
but in sobriety
my consciousness has clarity
and vision
cause i see my mistakes
and i wont grow bitter for what i've missed
because you might taste it on my kiss
as i apply what i've learned
i'll bathe in sweat to get what i've earned
but the last thing that i need
is sympathy
oh yes i see
how you see me know
and you're looking down upon me
so go ahead and write me off
i'm learning how
to love again

when i saw you around
i had to close my eyes
to keep your incandescence
from burning up my mind
if i absorbed you too soon
my gullible mind
would desect you into pieces
the T.V. taught my to objectify
but your voice sang purity
and shone white light on my
(appears differently on recording)
if i can catch enough energy
from the light of day and the holy trees
and put it all into a song
i'd sing hoping you would be at peace inside your body
like the way your music does for me
your morality
intimidated me
and got me up from sitting still
in clouds of apathy
and in this broken world
souls drift easily
by the wayward impulse
to seek ingested substance selfishly
but what that impulse needs
is music pure and free
(chorus)

The Void
05:06
|

|
in the fog formed a girl
of lucid energy
whose spirit was without the need
for solidity
and she whispered secrets
that untangled pieces
of prose lost in my mind
me i was speechless
from a feeling that breeches
the barriers of time
but she grew bored and turned into a swarm
that appeared annoyed
and as quickly as she came
she evaporated into the void
why did she leave me here
what had driven her away?
was it selfish and greedy of me
to have needed her to stay
and floating through space
i remembered the pace
i had moved toward her waves
and it's in natures course
that the harder you force it
the harder it evades
but her veils had reveiled
my intent was conceiled
like the program of a droid
i had tried to use her warmth
to fill the expanding depths
of the void
she tried to punish me
for my ignorance of patriarchy
---
she showed me salvation is in a sense
to be conscious of your own incompetence
not to consume others at their expense
each selfless act makes a difference
and if i can be comfortable on my own
i might realize that this void
inside me
is not empty
you can't fill yourself with someone else
there's no room left inside your cells

Nick Gideo recommends:
The Age of Adz
by Sufjan Stevens
This album is an existential journey of sound. I gravitate towards albums that can be repeatedly listened to, and Age of Adz is a perfect example.
