The Everlasting Gaze


"It has a lot to do with spirituality and trying to find my place in the universe and sort of humbly accepting limitations and the things I've been graced with. It's more of a humanistic world view. I'm not writing anymore for the tortured teen--both me and whoever was listening. I'm writing with the idea that everybody's experiencing these things all the time, and even if they're not experiencing them personally, they're affected by them." -BC 


you know i'm not dead 
you know i'm, you know i'm not dead 
you know i'm not dead 

now you know where i've been 
as you sleep, torn i am 
weighted down patiently 
born of love 

you know i'm, you know i'm not dead 
i'm just living in my head 
forever waiting on the ways of your desire 
you always find a way 
and through it all, into us all you move 

forgotten touch 
forbidden thought 
we can never have enough 

you know i'm not dead 
you know i'm, you know i'm not dead 
you know i'm not dead 

found below, the creatures scream 
stranglehold, a god machine 
begin to tear us out 
what is hell 

you know i'm, you know i'm not dead 
i'm just the tears inside your head 
forever waiting on the ways of your desire 
you always find a way 
and through it all, into us all you move 

forgotten touch 
forbidden thought 
we can never have enough 
you know i'm not dead 

we all want to hold in the everlasting gaze 
enchanted in the rapture of his sentimental sway 
but underneath the wheels lie the skulls of every cog 
the fickle fascination of an everlasting god 

you know i'm not dead 
i'm just living in my head 
forever waiting 
forever waiting a cruel death 
you know i'm not dead 
i'm just living for myself 
forever waiting 

you know i'm not dead 
you know i'm not dead 
you know i'm not dead 
you know i'm not dead
