Foreword
The Procussions Lyrics

I'm afraid of what she means to me
I am anxious about the significance of her presence in my life

I'm ashamed of how mean I can be
I feel guilt about my capacity for cruelty

I bow scene after scene
I show deference to every event that occurs

I'm proud, being like me is loud
I have pride in the fact that my character exudes a certain volume

Defending a cloud
I protect and defend something that is nebulous and lacks substance

Pretending that I'm seen by a crowd
I feign a sense of visibility and recognition from a group of people

How to handle a narcissist caught in his own reflection
Strategies for managing someone who is excessively self-absorbed and enamored with their own image

Vandalize it with causes that cost him his own rejection
Inflict destruction on their ego by exposing their own faults with issues they reject

Only for a second though as if to check the rope
Merely a brief moment of hesitation before taking a drastic action

Before you swing into the air and let it go
Commit to making a significant move with finality

Moving glaciers is our human nature
Acting as agents of momentous change is part of our inherent human drive

Snowmen I seek no man grooming his nomenclatures
I am uninterested in finding individuals who are focused on creating and maintaining labels

I need a silent time to dim a vibrant mind
Quiet contemplation is necessary for me to lessen the activity of my active mind

Dare me in the dark scare me with the light I find
Challenge me in lowly conditions and startle me with a sudden revelation

Like in a diamond mine these round brilliant brown filaments eyes
Similar to gems found within a mine, these eyes possess noteworthy and unique characteristics

They find me and my villain disguise
They discover me, despite my efforts to appear as the antagonist

Now who am I to despise myself
I have no valid reason to hold contempt towards my own self

And love me at the same time, realize thyself
Simultaneously express affection towards myself and make profound realizations

Mapped by all senses trapped by all tenses
My perceptions are guided by all the senses and constrained by all the variations of time

Clap by all means it weans the apprehensive
Applause is a method that effectively diminishes feelings of dread and hesitation

The all seeing defenses bat at all things it deems offensive
My defensive faculties are perpetually active and react to anything deemed as insulting

Drew a pistol when just a kiss will do
Reacting in an unnecessarily violent manner when a peaceful solution exists

Even when I can't stand you I miss you too
Despite feeling disdain towards you, I still experience a sense of longing

See the world like a missile do
View the world with the same sharp focus and direction as a missile

Never stalling in the launch or pausing in the arch
Continuously moving forward without any halting or hesitation

Just falling to a home I built leaving it charred
Allowing myself to descend to a place I created, even if it is now in ruins

Breathing is hard
It is becoming increasingly difficult to draw breath

The wheezing I disregard
I choose to ignore the sound of my labored breathing

There's only one reason
There exists only a singular cause or motive

Charge
To move forward with a sense of purpose and determination

I mean glory
I am referring to the concept of grand achievement or triumph

I mean charge like in Glory
I am conveying the notion of charging forward as one would in a glorious victory

Glory as in the mornings
Glory reminiscent of the sunrise, a symbol of a new beginning

She charge me in the light and write in me a story
She inspires me in moments of clarity and instills within me the desire to write our story

Till morning turns to night
This creative endeavor will continue until the day gives way to the night

And I cease to charge
At that point, I will no longer feel driven to move forward

Give me peace and a reason to recharge
Provide me with calmness and a motivating factor to pursue my goals once again

Safety, this is what it made me
The state of security has influenced my identity and behavior

New world no escape key
This new environment offers no opportunities for easy escape

Shake me like a baby if I cry too much
If I appear overly emotional, snap me out of it as one would with a crying infant

Fell in love with a world but she lied too much
I developed fondness and attachment to this world, but it proved to be illusory

Fell in love with a girl who's eyes do touch
I became enamored with a woman whose gaze had a profound impact on me

Who's hands do see
Her hands embody her ability to perceive beyond sight

Who finds me clutched
She discovers me in a situation where I feel trapped

To this stool
I am fixed to this seat

To this side of the pool
I am occupying a specific area adjacent to the pool

My cars outside
My vehicle is located outdoors

Cool
This fact is pleasing to me

Putting on my face
I am assuming an artificial persona

Because everybody's miming
This behavior is necessary because others are inauthentic

The bar is just an honest place
This location fosters genuine interaction and discourse

Where everybody's lying
However, the majority of the individuals here are still engaging in dishonesty

Odd timing when I'm telling a joke
An awkward sense of timing when I am attempting humor

To keep the swelling in my throat
Suppressing my emotions and gaging my reaction to situations

From developing hope
Avoid developing an optimistic outlook

Who's selling me that soap but a bloke in the mire
The person attempting to influence me is themselves dealing with challenging circumstances

Throwing me his pitch as coach and umpire
They are attempting to instruct me like a coach and arbiter

Came to get a hit with his throat on fire
They arrived motivated to achieve, even if it is wrought with agony

He came blaming the rich for a blown out tire
They are faulting the wealthy for some negative event in their life

I said I'm quite certain we in a light curtain
I express a high level of certainty that we are surrounded by a hazy light

Staring into the night like is this mic working
Gazing into the darkness, pondering the effectiveness of the microphone

I fight versions of me to find the right person
I am struggling against different iterations of myself to locate the best version

See how his sight serves him and if he likes Gershwin
Evaluating how an individual's perspective assists them and determining their musical preferences

Certainly it's him
I have identified the person I was searching for

Certainty is thin
However, my sense of confidence in this aspect is fragile

Sure as the shylock working me within
As definite as the loan shark manipulating my situation

I call a truce
I propose a cessation of conflict or tension

Found the exit in the excuse
The rationale furnished me an escape route

The fit noose getting loose
The tightening binding is now loosening

With every sipped goose
I am becoming incrementally more relaxed with each imbued beverage

The golden droplet
The precious fluid of gold color

Hold it hostage in an eyebrow
Gripping it tightly concealed within the area above the eye

Bulging sockets only profit
Eyes that protrude benefit the beholder

When you lie down
During reclining, this is useful

In outer space a fire timing
In the vast outer realms, there is a precise time for igniting something

Higher climbing
Moving to greater heights

Throwing silver to the sky lining
Lobbing pieces of silver at the boundary between the sky and land

Good morning
A greeting wishing a positive start to the day
