lyrics

let's take a step back
all of this boils down to change
to cycling through atmpspheres
but when i become content with my surroundings
the desire to create leaves me entirely

what is there to write about?
this does not base itself in happiness
it bases itself in

fear and longing and sadness and self-loathing
when those are gone, it just doesn't flow
and it's gotten to the point where i need the flow so something comes out

and why should i want such a thing?

prolonged contentness flips itself on its head
it's become too much to bear

yet somehow it's never forced
i can't do it alone
the trigger is pulled
and i fall into myself

overexaggeration, expectations
lead me down this road again
i hold you all to this standard
motivation fighting motivation

and though i might hold these standards
and things might not line up at times
there's always a way around those details
the real point, though, is that
i end up at square one,
or whatever square this may be
because of this something, may it be the
desire to create or the dependency on my creations

my own dependency on my creations

even though i feel it's safe to say
that this goes beyond all of you now
this square's corners are rounding
and i find myself in this circle
pushing at the walls, finally i see

the way out is to want out
