(spoken word)

Hey, I never say anything at the beginning of my songs

Because I want the music to speak for itself

Or at least I try to make it to

I wanted to take a quick second to say that

It is always darkest before dawn

When things seem to be at their lowest

Don't give up

And with that said

The equinox breathed new life into my will

As the speaker box displays every peak and valley

Experiences externalize themselves

Into different thought perceptions which in turn will speak loudly

Your guise is calm and you pretend that you’re fine

But your eyes as I see them tell a whole different story

The window to your soul has become a bit blurry

Due to tears like condensation that shows you're demonstrably worried

Your cadence says it all. I can hear it in your voice

Patience should replace aching for it destroys

All sense of logic so lets try to be sagacious

The basis of life is survival which breeds hatred

This theory is well known to sink the ships of relations

"I" before "we", except after___

Maybe it is not as a bleak as I make it

At times I do accentuate the depth within a statement

Words pack more power than bombs that leave wastelands

Chose your words wisely or deal with the radiation

The fallout particles are audible

To me they are like autumn leaves about to be walked on

Periodically I have this freak occurrence

Where I realize I'm alive which sends these signals through my person

It’s this quick brisk moment that feels like time has been halted

Then I snap back to reality after using a gestalt lens

It's no surprise how this try at a stream of consciousness

Writing turned out to in fact to be a product of romanticism

Imagination is the our only saving grace that we can use against the stasis that will terminate excitement

That's life with all formalities cut

Advantageous abnormalities attribute to my gallop

Passing through a town and flipping off it's new sheriff

In my cherub form that someone would misconstrue as precious

I'll admit that I'm afraid to get my feet wet again

On dry land after being underwater

There is only so much we can take before the levy breaks

Better build a boat for when the flood gates open

(Hook)

I can't wait til when I dissipate

To evanesce will be so romantic (x4)

The cradle leads to death. Every story has an ending

The book's last page makes the reader keep guessing

The journey is what gives a life time purpose

For when your time comes you’ll then decide if it was worth it

I find to evanesce to be oh so poetic

Returning to the ether where I know I’ll be protected

By the transient to endless cosmic expansion

The fact that I was born means the seed has been planted

Friends and memories will be what I'm survived by

It’s when we're forgotten that's when we will die

Hysterically watching the all of the minutes pass by

That are the hours in a day til the sky specifies that

Time passed so don't procrastinate life before it’s out of your control then gets out of your sight

Those same hands that build with and implement your skill with

Advance where at your at or they can activate the kill switch

Don't blame it on restricted existence

Value what you have for you can lose it in an instant

My words are fueled solely by the fear of regret

You cannot sleep yet. I told you theres no button for reset

Run a t-test if you question the significance of what I try

Teach to those who feel like they're a reject

Trust me, I've been there, and the battles' still on

There's still a way to go til you can claim the war is won

(Hook)

I can't wait for when I dissipate

To evanesce will be so romantic
