about

This song dates back to December of 2012, and was intended for Two Sly Deuce. it was so personal, that it never really felt right to make everyone learn a complicated 10 minute prog metal song exactly as I wrote it. It was one of the hardest times of my life. This song might as well be my religion. It's not my favorite, and it's a hard listen sometimes, but I'm glad it's finally done.

lyrics

I.In the heart of the beast
Here we are now
At the center
Of the never
Would ever happen

And I've been wrapped up
In my own mythology
You can't stand it
But you won't tell me

Clouds move in
Signalling the water
Flooding memories like rain
Cover me inside this castle
Cower helplessly in vain

Clouds move in
Signalling the water
Flooding memories like rain
Cover me inside this castle
Cower helplessly in vain
Finding comfort in the pain and fear
And wishing I was better

II. Pills
(Instrumental)

III. Transit
You're playing dominoes
With the circumstance
Fighting the invisible
In the aftermath
Of the destruction
Self fulfilling prophecy
Worried about you
Worried about me

Clouds roll in
Poisoning the water
Come crashing down I've gone insane
Shelter me with all your instincts
Trading misery for pain
Why do we have to fall apart
To regain our condition
And lose it all again

IV. Cloud Cover
You and me, can never seem to be
I'm caught in a line
Doctor told me to take these pills
And now I can see things clearly
Suppressed my instincts and
My inability to see things logically
But I know
Yes I know, yes I know, and I always know
Just what I'm about to say
Against my better judgement
I love you
And I always love you
But it can never seem to be what I know to be true
Could there be something else?
And I tell you, yes I tell you
There's nothing at all
There's nothing at all
But could there be something
Somewhere further along
Nobody better, Nobody better than us
But maybe not together
Two hearts mutually exclusive to one another
But not each other
And I wrote you a letter
And I kiss you on the ear
And I tell you it's okay
But it's not okay is it?
With everything just falling apart
These clouds moving in
They cover my heart
And I fight for the strength to get back up
But it hurts me so, and it hurts to know
But you gotta know
That this is not forever
Nobody better than us
