VENT. by Ambrosia eliz Lyrics
I tie a tether from out of my chest
My heart and my mind, which one knows best?
It guides me around the storm that surrounds
Stupefy, numbing moldy thoughts confound
A journey self, a pleasant vacation
Threatens to capture and sweep me away
Come crashing to earth again, my mind’s great nation
And wishing for months to block so I can stay
I tie an anchor that drops to my stomach
And works its way down to the pit of my heart
When my better is worse can I claim defendence
How do I stop if I don’t know how to start
Datelines and numbers consume my whole life
And people with names that I never get right
How can I claim tall when I feel so weak
How can my voice be known if
I’m not allowed to speak
A journey self, a pleasant vacation
Threatens to capture and sweep me away
Come crashing to earth again, my mind’s great nation
And wishing for months to block so I can stay
I tie a line across all the seas
From corner to corner they catch my disease
Chiseled face masks block the faces beneath
And no words on page do my owings bequeath
Never ending lines without words on the chorus
Praise’s not deserved, wonder why you adore us
Fear-induced hiding ‘tween capital lines
Don’t show them ‘you’ and you won’t pay the fine
Datelines and numbers consume my whole life
And people with names that I never get right
Can I claim tall when I feel so weak
How can my voice be known if
I’m not allowed to speak
Look in the mirror and what do you see
No faces no colored eyes looking at me
Feeling so fake, my mind calls me a fraud
My body’s enraptured with falsified gods
Despite all the things I see, look what I’ve found
When my body is rested and I turn around
Peeking between the debt my eyes declare
Colleagues, friends close and far, saying ‘i’m there’
Put on my mask again before time runs out
Before parasites disguised as kind words do doubt
Put on the blindfold so I cannot see
The bitter monstrosity known as ‘me’
Never ending lines without words on the chorus
Praise’s not deserved, wonder why you adore us
Fear-induced hiding ‘tween capital lines
Don’t show them ‘you’ and you won’t pay the fine
Datelines and numbers consume my whole life
And people with names that I never get right
Can I claim tall when I feel so weak
How can my voice be known if
I’m not allowed to speak
My heart and my mind, which one knows best?
It guides me around the storm that surrounds
Stupefy, numbing moldy thoughts confound
A journey self, a pleasant vacation
Threatens to capture and sweep me away
Come crashing to earth again, my mind’s great nation
And wishing for months to block so I can stay
I tie an anchor that drops to my stomach
And works its way down to the pit of my heart
When my better is worse can I claim defendence
How do I stop if I don’t know how to start
Datelines and numbers consume my whole life
And people with names that I never get right
How can I claim tall when I feel so weak
How can my voice be known if
I’m not allowed to speak
A journey self, a pleasant vacation
Threatens to capture and sweep me away
Come crashing to earth again, my mind’s great nation
And wishing for months to block so I can stay
I tie a line across all the seas
From corner to corner they catch my disease
Chiseled face masks block the faces beneath
And no words on page do my owings bequeath
Never ending lines without words on the chorus
Praise’s not deserved, wonder why you adore us
Fear-induced hiding ‘tween capital lines
Don’t show them ‘you’ and you won’t pay the fine
Datelines and numbers consume my whole life
And people with names that I never get right
Can I claim tall when I feel so weak
How can my voice be known if
