Chiron

[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?)
