I had a lot of times in my life where I wanted to escape
I wanted to not feel anything
not necessarily have to deal with anything anymore
You jump out your window
you become one with the concrete
you know, you become part of the cement
The cement is what I want to become one with
I want to be deep down beneath it
I don't know
It just felt like that could be the only escape, in a way
That's how I deal with those emotions
I put them down on paper and pen
I write about 'em
That's why I do the music
and that's why I sing the songs
"Cementality"
♪ See, the cement has never meant so much ♪
♪ My hot head cools the stone cold touch ♪
♪ I look to settle my seat with the dust ♪
♪ Brain, leave me be ♪
♪ Can't you see that these eyes are shut? ♪
♪ And to my bed through that window ♪
♪ I hit zero ♪
♪ This guiltless love, let sins flow ♪
♪ Thoroughly through me ♪
♪ I descend smoothly ♪
It's just the same chord progression over and over,
but the vocals dip in and out
It's like a constant stream of consciousness
It's like a nice expression
that's the perfect unraveling of the depressed state
♪ You shot me down ♪
♪ Ooh, I hit the ground ♪
It was mainly due to the fact
that I was trying to disguise everything
that I started to come about with metaphors,
but now I see it as like a beautiful thing to create
illustrations in my imagination
all across, like, create these crazy landscapes
and whatever else I can
♪ No, no, no, I was never scared ♪

♪ But now I'm free of care ♪
♪ See, if life isn't fair ♪
♪ Then at least death's there ♪
♪ To hold both hands ♪
♪ To stroll through lands ♪
♪ And as it stands ♪
♪ This empty vessel of a man ♪

♪ The pavement is soothing ♪
♪ My body wasn't moving ♪
♪ My pain is buried deep beneath the ground ♪
♪ These fears were drowned ♪
♪ The pavement was soothing ♪
