jac.

you are the king
of shots in the dark.
you close your eyes anyways.
i never understood that.

a genius is only such because
people are ignorant
of what he
doesn't know.

let your closed eyes do the talking.
with you, i can only see my
blacklight constellations.
i'm calling all non-believers.
i've come to confess my faith.
spend your time well
before you go.
i need ignorance.
i need obliviate.
dear my own brand
of company,
i'm trying to build a wall.
it shall be called fear.
i've learned from the best.

you know, i've been waiting for the fireworks.
for the sun and the snow.
to watch the stars lean,
and i will take you there.
mirrors and mimes.
when weekends bring insight,
i'm locked away in a tower.

i'm locked away in a tower.


in my asylum,
i knew the whole world.
i could speak softly,
where now only destruction flows.
where my creativity lies,
your words are loose cannons.
toy guns to my brain.
pranks of the worst caliber.
this cycle is such a sharp curve.
nobody said this was easy,
it's such a shame for us to part.
nobody said this was easy,
no one ever said it would be this hard.
oh, take me back to the start.
explain to me exactly what happened.
explain to me why i can't remember.

you tell me to step back from this ledge,
but i've made this home.
i've cut the legs off my pants,
went wading in old news.
i found the revolution,
in my own back yard.
in the daylight,
you will have forgotten.
can you remember?

is there something i can't see?
when weekends bring insight,
i'm locked away in a tower.

we are not the same.
