There is no other way I, I overflow With the rigor of this life Forced on its sources to thrive and thrive and thrive
There is no other way Turning black to grey
Look back in anger, always remember, always relive It took all my life to collect what I hate Which is what I am, neglect and berate
Before I scatter like dust in the wind Will I ever be awake?
Salvation's sinful scorn An echo echoed out of emptiness How am I to keep the deep but stay willing to turn the black into darkest grey?
Overflow Undertow On sterile soil you'll never grow Better to choke on the sap of existence Than to cough up the dust of identity's shame Identity's game It's you, it's you, it's – you, it's all you
From blackness to spotlight to floodlight to grey I can't walk you want leaps of faith?
From blackness to spotlight to floodlight to grey I can't walk you want me to leap on faith alone? I'll try, I'll try But when it's all a lie - who the hell am I?
