Blank Slate

[Verse 1]
Under water, blue flames, swimming in smoke
To a cave with a fistful of crystals
Dead center in the making of minerals
Never been broke, so tell me what's the fix for?
Send 'em home kindly then race to the throne
All praise, give that a go
Fangs to the throat
Less angst, more animal

[Hook]
Cinema, cinema blank
Cinema, cinema blank
Cinema, cinema blank
Cinema, cinema blank

[Verse 2]
I got shocked when a force unseen starting breeding tornadoes in me
Copped a degree how to speak softly and unlearned how they taught me to be
Scholar
Mimic the mantra, or make up a new one
Passed the background check with flying colors
I got nothing to offer your altar
But a statue made of water
Sniffing out the lies, biting off the collar (collar)

Dancing with the naked truth
Break rules, I can taste the fruit
They hang low, a little late to bloom, I came too
False idols sang tunes but they never rang true
Follow

Fall a', fall asleep
Fall a', fall asleep
Fall asleep
Follow, follow sheep
Follow, follow me

[Verse 3]
Shake me, help me stay awake
I'm face to face with this gateless gate
It keeps changing shape
I gotta razor blade dangling by a thread on the cutting edge
Try ta' try ta'
Try to put me in a box
Like a frog in a pot slowly boiling to the top
Since before I was born bread ready for the war
Conform to the norm or swarm with the flock

Caught
Between a rock and a soft spot
Kept quiet, hit the brakes, screeched to a stop
High beams flicker in a dark space infinite
Fetal tides murmur the pulsing rhythm of life
Guiding hand slaps me back moment I collapse
Some sort of solution, illusion, set trap
One more time till the sunsets rising
On the other side of the horizon, perfect timing

[Verse 4]
Yeah, it's the golden age
Your going out your mind
Well I'm coming out face
'Cause I'm running outta mask
And we're running outta states
Started at the finish line
So I wouldn't wanna race, I committed
Saw the apple tree and I bit it
Dropped down, down on my knees, I admit it
Came guilt free to the stream, jumped in it
The act so vivid, the hero is mythic

Forever listen to the 'long-lost' yet never forgot songs that spin 'em in a knot
Killin’ em' slow, feeling the moan, steady chipping the block
A heavy load, splitting image of god
The glows neon
Hot sucking air from the steam to flow free on
A big blank slate I can lay both feet on
Diving, deep through a hole known freedom
Skies shake out of their bones, the souls beyond

[Pre-Chorus]
Ships that we're building
Gold frame and the strength of a raindrop
Full fledge in the midst of a whirlwind
Sway while its swirling sink in the chaos

[Hook]
Cinema, cinema blank
Cinema, cinema blank
(Wiped clean)
Send ‘em home, send ‘em home blank
Send ‘em home, send ‘em home blank

[Bridge]
Found a new wave to surf
Hazy, faded, and the days a blur
Promise not to fall dead in the face of rebirth
They try to cage the unknown in which the mystery lurks
I might…

Start to fight
Always been a little more dark than light
Stones to grind, sparks'll fly
Always had a little more heart than mind

[Hook]
