Rapid Eyes
by Doom Scroll
(Tuned to Drop C#)
Saturate the rapid eye and suffocate until you die quick
Overflow the mental state of trying to alleviate all
Settle into the theta state by dragging through dead end weight thoughts
Are we ever really asleep
Stabbing aimless into
The unknowing present time
Tally up our blinking
Begging for a sedation mind
Set the stage we walk on
Blinded by the light of thought
Cursing all your thinking
Asking when it will finally stop
Drenching in valerian and steeping all the thoughts into a daze
Insomniatic sedatives aren’t holding up against the day dreams
Driftless eyes into the night the sun begins to creep through the shades
And what’s more we can’t
Decipher all the days
Spindled by this torment
Tucked in sideways
Trudge through the haze
Shut your eyes and see
All the throws infinity
Casts upon our tick tock mind we can’t ignore
Fall into the sea
In figments of what life could be
Only to be shackled by this static bed all night
Put up a fight, keep your eyes shut and shutoff your mind
It won’t be over until you learn to relax (unwind)
Darkness slows to other worlds where you control your own death
Fixating on the path you take and watching every step
The eyelid films enthrall you with a spectacle never seen
And endless pathways lead to endless gleams
And horrors you could never believe

And I’m giving up on jigsaw smarts
Bm. A. G
These days my twiddled thumbs sit silent In the comfort of my lap

These brittle bones still gnashing teeth

All my shoes like dust My soul is still trudging
D. A. G. G
This house has turned all to rust And it’s vacant and cold

Hang on once more

Forming alliances in the mirror

Pay no heed to facing my fears

I’ve thrown out every single sentiment that bridged my futures past

The shadows of my childhood get longer every year

When will I disappear

Castles
by Doom Scroll
Light the match the fire burns violent and true
Faces around me all liars and fools
The ones who hold the keys are the ones who can break all the rules
And every link that is forged for the chain thats unseen
Is holding you back forcing you to believe
That one day you’ll forget theyre the ones who can take it away if you misbehave
Every fire burns forever when their castles come toppling down
All defiance fuck compliance we’ll rejoice on the remnants of crowns
More than fodder for their dollar were the muscle thats worth more than gold
Til our bodies break and our hearts meet the stake we’ll remain
We’ll remain
Were just teetering
On this broken scale that they’ve built
To keep you wondering
If your free wills beginning to wilt
Every withered soul enduring hell
Fearing for everything they’ve ever loved
Stays locked inside, their little hole
Hoping they never see the storm at their door
But their greedy hands dig pockets dry
And take ever dime nickel penny and lint
Their famished mouths starve out and die
While the crown feasts on all that they’ve worked to survive
All that they’ve worked to survive
