lyrics

"Initials H.F.K. (Parallels)"

"Creep" couldn't cut it on societies' stereo today,
John Cusak and his boombox would be cancelled and shamed...

So it began, dear diary
I wrote you years ago
For therapy's sake
Phrases forever tucked away

Unnerved my every aching bone
Each event you endured
Simply paralleled my own
Still I left well enough alone

(I'm not delusional)
Parallels
(Seemingly infinite, seemingly infinite)
I swear
(I'm not delusional, I'm not delusional)

And then...
I saw the spark in your eyes dim
Watched the weight of astral worlds
Through tattoo'd skin
Your beautiful essence wearing thin

What resonates it will remain
With each post you propose
It appears nothing has changed
A mirror of moments
Ever revealing my face

(I'm not delusional)
Parallels
(Seemingly infinite, seemingly infinite)
I swear
(I'm not delusional, I'm not delusional)

I won't let this mean anything, oh
I won't let this mean anything to me
This beating heart will be the death of me

(I'm not delusional)
Parallels
(Seemingly infinite, seemingly infinite)
I swear
(I'm not delusional, I'm not delusional)

I don't know just what to do with it...
