Lyrics

Lust bides in the riddle

Lust resides in the mystery or puzzle

And catches me every time I try and let go

Constantly entices me whenever I attempt to release it

A crutch to help me pace

A support used to maintain my pace, avoiding progress towards the present

Instead of walking towards what is right now

Instead of moving towards the current moment


Sit and steep

Sit and soak in

Your wants that need no rest

Your desires that require no break

I may be weak but my plans are 5 steps ahead

Despite my weakness, my plans are strategically planned five steps ahead


Love can't be an albatross

Love should not be a burdensome obstacle

But you would change your blood just cause it said so

But you would alter your lineage merely because it commands you to do so

Though recently I only swim in shallow pools of unemotive crowds

Lately, I only involve myself with superficial interactions in dispassionate crowds


Mindless me

Unaware version of myself

The spark has been put to bed

The enthusiasm or vitality has been extinguished

In blue lit screens,

In the context of blue illuminated screens

A culture that has none yet

In a society that lacks authenticity or true identity


Potions and sleep, among all the other things

Magical concoctions and sleep, among other distractions

That keep from what I'm supposed to do

Acting as barriers preventing me from fulfilling my obligations

I can't keep you

I cannot retain you

As I once held you

As I once had you
