Furnace 02:13
Losing momentum quickly, was it ever there at all? Standing on the shoulders of others won’t make you tall No impression and no expression, furnace of fatigue Wearied down for the sweet death of sleep Failing light, shine tonight Fluorescent gloom of the factory floodlights hissing from across the road Failing light, please shine tonight Illuminated by segregated virtues of gold Sing to me a soothing song The outside world has been howling all night long Sing to me a serenade I can’t hold on feeling weak Or maybe I’m lost counting sheep?

Defeat 03:05
Keep running without reason From first to last light of day Corroded message in the concrete (Pleading to stay) Succumb to the pressure building How do you find the means to bear the weight I sit and i think and i sit and i sink Proactive becomes reductive Relentless, Endless (A mind trapped in a cage) I succumb to the pressure building These hands must repave I try to stand easy on my own two feet But these mountains we climb are just far to steep Relentless A withered man stands at the edge of my street A vacant face staring down at the beading concrete Permanence Maybe in forty years that man will be me But I attempt my hardest to part with this self defeat I sit and i think and i sit and i sink Pro active becomes reductive Where i am and where i should be No reason, No relevance This pounding negligence Just keep running without reason Listen for the whisper of a faint call Just keep running without reason It’s only a matter of time before i fall Time is a form of currency which i burn all that i earn & it pains me how ironically, in time i will learn To pave these minutes, hours and days into finding self worth & bridge these gaps of love hate with a focused mind to what i yearn And even if i fall at least i can say that i tried Fear of failure isn’t accounted for in the end you just die All the things i aspire to be in life Will i rise to the occasion or be left behind?

Nestle up with your favourite items No bliss short-lived ignorance in time in which you idle Borrowed life on borrowed time, obsession with possessions Control and confine Days wasted on nothing, value your company, live life & love In a world so cold, I could make you feel warm When dust settles my mind to stone And aches to break my brittle bones An old man faced with the life he chose Will I rest my eyes easy? Stand to face the bracing fall One thing between us all It’s just a couple billion blinks and we’re extinct and gone In a world so cold i could make you warm The ache it creates a cycle, a pattern forms Years of neglect, Disregard and ignore Contempt in the end, life cannot be restored Nestle up with your items they mean nothing at all Long lost links in an old antique store
