"The Fullness Of My Being" lyrics
"The Fullness Of My Being"
How many years have I spent at the loom
Decades weaving, all my time consumed
My head swam with melodies, perfume
Obsessing over what they'd etch on my tomb
The sleepless nights staring at the moon
Green smoke crawling out my mouth in plumes
Left trapped in the edges of my gloom
Dreaming states and the vanities of youth
I am the other, the lowest
Impostor syndrome, always forced to prove
I am a lover, a poet
Grander ego gave me more to lose
I should have known
After all this time in grief
I was so close to serenity
And I should have felt
While struggling for peace
I was only ever fighting, torturing me
My own worst enemy
Laying traps [?]
All the time spent scheming
I couldn't hear my soul scream
I made a fantasy my heart's cage
The only way to follow is blindly
My eyes are open
Found my true loyalty
My eyes are open
I made a nightmare of my dream
I was so close to serenity
I was only ever fighting me
I should have known
After all this time in grief
I was so close to serenity
And I should have felt
While struggling for peace
I was only ever fighting, torturing me
Now that I've stopped to rest
I've gained clarity
My perception widening
All the frustrations that I felt
Clinging so tightly to identity
Was in dissonance of thought
A war between action and belief
A house can't serve two masters
For years I chose so carelessly
The work became an idol
I offered praise up tirelessly
Once I cast it from me
My suffering spirit found harmony
As I forsake my false sense of self
I embrace the fullness of my being
The fullness of my being
Fullness of my being
The fullness of my being
I should have known
After all this time in grief
I was so close to serenity
And I should have felt
While struggling for peace
I was only ever fighting, torturing me
Thanks to Donovan for correcting these lyrics.

Half Me - "Quitter Talk" Yeah, I'm using again, it takes all that I have
Bold words from an addict
How can I pick myself up?
I'm past the breaking point and there is no way to stop
I'm giving in
This is a desperate cycle...
Holding Absence - "Head Prison Blues" Heart in hand
Here I am
Without wax
I'm letting my guard down
I'm desperate to see
A new reflection of me
You've watched me love
You've watched me lose
Now watch me writhe on the floor
Is this what...
If I Were You - "Ghost" I awake in a place unknown
Everything is a blurry mess
Where have I gone?
What lies ahead?
Now like a ghost
I am empty and feel nothing at all
I haunt these walls again
(I haunt these walls again)...
Jamie's Elsewhere - "Separate Me" I'm running towards the setting sun
As it falls below the horizon line
Seeking answers to the questions
I have been afraid to ask
Is this all there really is?
Is this all there really is?
Come what...
Acres - "The Death Of Me" Last night I heard you were leaving and found someone new
I guess I wasn't enough to be loved by you
I hope he makes you believe that your life's so much better without me
It hurts to say but you...
