Chiron

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Spider bite Lightening strikes a random chord Seven babies bein' born Purges, old man warns me of a storm from the North I whistle, flag it down She pulls-up and says, "get in" Asks me for the code I pass it to her calm and cast a grin Her pearly gaze is cunnin' Deep growlin' in my belly She opens the backdoor Ruby jewels in the eyes of a mummy Pocket-watch fluctuates Hands beating skin drum Hear crows squeal, barbed wire with collapsed lung Karmic map, flickers in the carnage Worldly maze, crystal ball falls without a trace Ricochets like a comet I vomit and slowly sit up straight The minutes fades into an eight And time becomes a different space [Chorus] Thousands of cultures, over million of years This place is older than dirt, I seek the cleanest of mirrors To eat the mess with the vultures To be a feast of our fears Sensing my deepest desires Spinning a web as she steers [Verse 2] All you need is a bowl and a blanket This land you stand on is stolen (Sacred) Pray for the souls tortured and warped, by the war of hatred Whispers of all descendants Bend echos throughout theses canyons Just manage to sift through phantoms And listen to hear 'em clear Slick hypnotist dangles symbols inches over my chest Stitching grids of inner-star systems with every breath Left, headless in the backseat, guided to death Approach the cliff's edge Blink once quiet and guess [Hook] How in the world did it come to this? How in the world did it come to this? (Reawaken the present, the future becomes the past) [Breakdown] Resources taken by hoarders I'm gasping, grasping for answers The primal need in my heart to disintegrate superstition Takin' shots in the dark Where the octopus meets the panther That stalks in the psychic scape of all human beings under pressure Blast! [Verse 3] We've been tested for imperfection They stick us with dirty needles to see if we've been infected I'm feeling young and I'm restless Leap in a pool of death Pulled from the wreckage Left with a sense of abandonment With the urge to skip a stone, across a sparkling sheet of glass Ripples intersect Nerves, thicker than a ruler's flesh (Stretch) Silver snake shedding skin, dripping beads of sweat (Sweat) Middle of dead winter, the shivers' in full effect [Hook] That gem was meant to be stolen That door was meant to be opened That code was meant to be cracked In fact I'm drunk off that potion That kind that never could end Unless the crystal glass that I'm holdin' Is a reflection of hope, I have for this city's collapse [Verse 4] And in-fact I'm confident, and never felt I was wrong 'Til society showed me what was right We waste our youth on the young There's a thin line between the lies that they told And remembrance that I hold fully responsible For the kingdom I inherited Heritage, carry grandparents' torches Ancestors' influence, passed-on through variation experience Cherish buried awareness To even have the opportunity to bear witness And participate in this web of existence [Breakdown] Invigorating as it is sickening For me to live something must die Check-in inside There's no cure for it Anything, anyone, everything Pathways myriad In all directions in front of our eyes Awake in the back Hunger pains rise Pull-off on the side Visionless [Verse 5] Stepped-out slow Solid ground Looked-up at that sky Same light from the stars up above Same light that flows from the depths of our eyes Hold tight Soaked-in the warmth that we supplied As we orbit around that truth that we found like When we were young we both could've of died, but didn't Galaxies in distance Brought us closer in ways, it's hard to explain Through love we exchanged, it's coming alive Trusted the pain enough to remain And mustered the strength to cut through those chains A million more times, dream worlds collide We've been here before, we know what this is [Outro] How in the world did it come to this? How in the world did it come to this? How in the world did it come to this? How in the world did it come to this? How in the world did it come to this? How in the world did it come to this? (How in the world did it come to this?)
