Message Man - Chapters Lyrics

My muscles tweak and pull in various directions
Revealing multiple complexions
Tissue aging in my head
Hide thoughts and memories till I lay dead

This beating heart with rhythm so unique
My flesh with scars so mystique
Novels and stories should I speak
Sagas hidden in my physique

It bothers me I do not know
The story behind your two eyes
A web of lies that we sow
A veil of lies as our disguise
Our ship capsized, now our demise
Fluid originating from the tears of our eyes

And all you had to do was ask for help
I would have dropped everything and gone through hell
Easier to ask from my perspective
When I'm not the one who feels abandoned
I'm not the one whose tears have stranded
On an island; give me chance to land hand and
Give me a chance to land a hand and

Writing, erasing chapters
Sentences, paragraphs; alter the story
We're missing chapters
Cathedrals and palaces found absent
Home wrecked, lost, and now fragments
We are missing chapters

I don't wanna guess just what your thinking
Sick of playing games while this ship is sinking
I wanna open dialogue and freethinking
Maybe you can mop it up, wishful thinking

I see a dazed look through color of your eyes
Holding onto memories as they rot with flies
But there ain't no time, the hand is moving clockwise
Frozen baby, let it go; time to cut ties

We're losing chapters, saying here's my last word
Victim to factors like captors
Their daggers, their hazards
But even fractures heal, given new chapters
New story new saga, not as an actor
Reactors, adaptors; to what life manufacturers

When do we wake up and look through our spectacles
And be blown away by this beautiful spectacle
But we'd rather be skeptical
Workaholic, everything's clerical
Go home skeletal vegetable
Look at your screens, adore their tentacles
Life loses meaning when everything's sensual
Few see the meaning it's dialectical
What's ethical, what's credible
Everything's flexible on cultures pedestal

Writing, erasing chapters
Sentences, paragraphs; alter the story
We're missing chapters
Cathedrals and palaces found absent
Home wrecked, lost, and now fragments
We are missing chapters
