To change the world for the better you must begin by changing your own life. There is no other way.
-SETH, The Individual and the Nature of Mass Events, 1981

The Shadow's Broken

I never wanted no one, to be like me
I even warned them not, to be like me
But in the middle, from the center of the hole they come from nowhere
Telling me that I must follow their direction
In the torn-out row

The day turns into night, the blind man sees
Tell all your good friends that they can believe
You can't escape the color of the time you left behind you
Is the reason that you came here all forgotten
Because of me

The wreck inside your head begins to bleed
It's time to take you back into your seed
Where all the good things that you never knew existed in yourself
Will come to haunt you
You'd better find the reason that You gave you
The flight of life begins with each new ending
Can you see the color of my blood
The shadow's broken
The shadow's broken
Too long
