the oblivious official - squaring the circle - part i: "hamartia" lyrics

Loading...

[part i]

[intro]

[verse 1]
i’ve been in limbo for so long
since i was so young
it feels like i have lived a thousand idle lifetimes

why, why
must these cycles lead insanity to be redefined?

[chorus]
someone lock me up in a white padded room
dim and warm the lights, and i’ll be back soon
i swear i’ll do it all like never before
everything i’d so far from forsworn, i promise i will do it all

[instrumental break]

[verse 2]
stay up and toil, i will not be foiled
hold on to the gifts which have since recoiled
’cause i’ve solved it, my method
it belongs to my madness no longer unspoken
i know i was but a mere experiment
and i know that you had naught but lies
but civilly, i’ll beat your system
even as my time dies

[chorus]
someone lock me up in a white padded room
dim and warm the lights, and i’ll be back soon
i swear i’ll do it all like never before
everything i’d so far from forsworn, i promise i will do it all

[instrumental break]

[part ii]

[interlude]

[verse 3]
you’re k!lling me, k!lling me
with convolution that befalls from thee, falls from thee
i’m stumbling in revolutions ’round these ambiguities

laugh with me, so sweetly
and say that you want us to be
but never send a signal
just keep on staring so odd and wistfully
i’m done
with your guessing games and fed up
with beseeming admiration
i blush at your touch but you won’t say enough for me to stop
to collect
and discern to make the move that appears most correct

i used to brood on the hue of need
and when i do i still think it was you and me

[breakdown]
but you confuse me
my face is flushing and i can’t tell if you’re joking
and if you won’t clarify, then my eye is to sty
for i’ve vied and i’ve tried, but you’ve gone unsimplified
so i’ll cry and i’ll swear, and i’ll tear at my hair
and i’ll even run away from home

[bridge/segue]
the things we do for love and art
have permeated from the start
i’ve loved you for a winter, spring, summer, and fall
yet we’ve remained in a stasis so vernal
far into another autumnal world
so don’t ever blow me a kiss again
or try to hold my hand cause
you’re my hamartia
i’m my own hamartia
[part iii]

[bridge]
my love is heading nowhere
my art is going nowhere
my smarts are heading nowhere
yeah, i took my gifts for granted, and i’ll seldom be alive
so i strive
to scrutinize yesterday’s promise and thrive

[outro]
despite the years i’ll always feel like a new kid
lest i find the compass that squares the circle
i’ve made up my mind so just open the lid
the prologue begins; we flash back to the cradle
