'Shadow Nexus' Lyrics:
Bathe me in flames underwater
Cleanse and rid me of my inner demons
I have been a wreck in a broken home
Out of place - all alone - I hear them
Misery drowns laughter
And in blurry backgrounds hang crooked portraits of me
I hit the walls and after the lights go out
I'm flooded with doubt and insecurity
Pendulum resists; the hours go slower
The days, amiss (the days, amiss)
Why am I still like this?
As these walls absorb confessions and my deepest, darkest fears
I convince myself in daydreams that I don't belong here
How can I get better in a place full of people exactly like me?
I become the walls I speak to and ignore every feeling
Shadows and reflections portray themselves to look exactly as I do
Without direction, I follow the compass
From which my own heart points to the end
Slipping through dangerously narrow cracks in the walls
Cemented with discipline
They scream in my face, singing hollow lullabies
Sending me back to sleep again
With eyes sealed shut, my remaining senses enhance
I feel the air around me cease to dance
So we inhale the consequence
As these walls absorb confessions and my deepest, darkest fears
I convince myself in daydreams that I don't belong here
How can I get better in a place full of people exactly like me?
I become the walls I speak to and ignore every feeling
This caged heart becomes all I see in my dreams
A prisoner for its whole life, so it seems
Apparently encouraged to always feel this broken
Forced to obey, live as a slave
Feel one emotion
This is not a sickness that can simply be cured
We need love, we need guidance
We can't be helped by being ignored
