1. Mileage
2. Show Case
3. Hand It Over
4. Idolesce
1. Mileage
Dragging through a life, driving through the days only to get by
Headed for the open road, going nowhere
The Romance of the bumpers is a violent affair
To just take a ride to a destination sets the milage off,
A screech, a scream, a lawsuit under a lie,
You should change the lane and let it go,
You should save yourself before you fall,
Trapped in an open space, sucking up exhaust with the sun in your face,
Too slow in the front and too fast from behind,
We're cutting off each other 'til we collide,
To just take a ride to a destination sets the milage off,
A screech, a scream, a lawsuit under ice,
You should change...
2. Show Case
Wake up sick, sick from your bleeding,
And the night before wasn't anymore different,
How your life has tired me,
How you live for just one thing, What are
What are we to you, what do we mean?
Are we glass surrounding you?
Are we velvet on the floor of your show case?
Are we everything that you live for?
At what cost to us?
All your drive will drive away the passengers that you are with,
All of this will be a waste,
Back and forth, with no assumptions,
The canopy is swaying under everything remaining,
All the tides are draining me,
And the end at my own hand keeps waving at me,
But I don't wave back...
Are we dancing endlessly with each foot on each others feet?
Are we losing a game we made up?
Who's game is it now?
All your drive will drive away the passengers that you are with,
All of this will be a waste.
All your drive will be a waste...
I watch you break it, it's inevitable, what we put up with is intolerable...
3. Hand It Over
Now it's serious, though not so much belated,
Your face may be something, but your value is corroding,
And all that your living for is fading faster than you
But you still some, and you whine delusional, inbred, impatient, you say
"Hand it over, and I wait now. And I've paid, paid my dues."
And the scales on your body are flaking off as you're going off
Laughing it off at another's expense as you shed
All that your living for is all that's about you
And it doesn't matter what anyone's going through cause you've earned it now
"Hand it over, and I wait now. And I've paid, paid my dues."
And what do you have to prove?
Your world revolves around something untrue.
Milk the fading scene, until it's rot ages with you.
And everyone has moved on, but you still remark,
"Hand it over, and I wait now. And I've paid, paid my dues."
4. Idolesce
I see the wire underneath, your spectacle and your deceit
Secretive travesty, who stole my skin and my teeth
I watch as you because me, spoke everything I once believed
Grew out a shell from my dead seeds, blind to the hell and disease
I've no claim
Even though...
You've become everything I thought I was
You've taken everything I left behind
So who was I?
Each time, it's the same
Bite off the face, forget the name
On your lips no trace of shame, on your breath the smell of remains
And I can't return
Just becuase...
You've become everything I thought I was
You've taken everything I left behind
So who was I?
Who will be mine?
Who was I?
Who will mine be?
