Three times and the hammer falls and she won't see any more. It's a conflict internal and it rages, on and on. For the first time since the war, she woke up to a blackened sky Looked around, and cried aloud, "where am I?" The veterans stood and watched, breaking silence only once; "Brace yourself, this will hurt" She laid a path down to the shore, and dug her heels in as she watched The rest of them sail away on sinking ships. With eyes lowered, and knees trembling the breaking labour of self assurance Took its hold Eight years to the day, no less difficult. Hand over heart, mind over matter Would get her through, was the motivating force But for those five words Five words repeating, forever on And thinking, it would be this way Then she knew. "Brace yourself, this will hurt."

Consequence 02:56
This world is violence, I want more. Born and raised on high lines, stripped of all that makes us search for And thirst for. Always with the mindless fevered four, It's what we share in common that's pushing me to find more See it, know it, black it out For want of forever crashing down. The only thing to fear, is not enough fear of consequence, of falling short, of not making it out.

Aurora 04:10
Aurora man made, a pillar in the sky. Lapsed judgement, just a question of time out, blackout, a picture of violence and war Concrete and bones, half collapsed to the floor Now we dance with ghosts, that vanished in my eyes And visit in the night, every night. I visit the broken homes Their walls binding vacant rooms Shadows fallen over, was once the peak of power, now a tomb Now we dance with ghosts, that vanished in my eyes And visit in the night, every night.

Mediate 03:53
So if we breathe in deep, bleed out slow. Feel it shift over thought, cycling deep inside. Size over meaning, heat overthrow. Blackout. Dead in the heart or from the neck up. Blind in the mind's eye, seeing for what it's not. Resist, unlearn, rewire, start again. Resist what you know. Unlearn what you're shown. Rewire how it works. Start again for what it's worth
5.
When it comes around, it takes and it leaves. Battles fought one handed, like sleeping with one eye open. Like carving a name, and tying a rope, Like hatching a plan, and following through. In our grandfather's failings we sit on thrones of cold Mired by none, and outcast from ourselves. Make a choice, and make it quick. If we freeze it, just like it was... It's not knowing, that's killing me.
6.
Ravenous intention, spawned from hate Malicious, justified in its own mind. The path to fulfillment paved with ignorance, and pain. Images of dinner plates, candles held to curtains, and sleep... Warm as day. And sleep, warm as day. No lock to keep it out, No cage to hide away, The tide of time, rolling in to take us away. Fewer the burdens, or broaden the shoulders, and know Pain for pain, running away. Fewer the burdens, or broaden the shoulders. And know... Pain for pain, running away, Pain for pain, hiding away. Pain for pain, running away, Take us away.
