Halcyon Arrhythmia - Fundamentals

All my life, I've pieced together, torn apart, and made again
And these grand designs are what I have to show
Sense of pride, founded on a layer of a good intent
A motive worth unwinding, a stone still yet left unturned in the undergrowth

All my life, all this time, I've built this image of
Stained glass devotion that devours hearts and minds
The panels stacked so deep, they speak to calm, a voice serene
That pleads for a diversion from the source material

I seek to understand the right and wrong, what's missing in my own regard
Standards of legitimacy still remain a mystery
But what's the difference to a promise still to keep?

Soul that's starved, but what's the news you hope to dream about?
Hollow art that begs the question, what's the destination that you seek?
Can you justify the ends that don't compose serenity?
A victim of kind circumstance, casts shadows on ambition's lurid call

Bear it on your shoulders, it's meaningless to me
He seethes in the cover of the mess he laid waste
And this reflex may deceive
Deep in the comfort of a harsh façade

There is a feeling I regard with hesitation
Dancing on a needle's end

Pay these thoughts what they're due, observe your punishment
Don't tell yourself the abuse is just all in your mind

I learned to glorify a standard I could not sustain
I learned to glorify a standard no one could sustain

Yet it's all coming back to me
Forgotten memories that may have been imagined
What does lie underneath all of this decay?
We see all the damage that can stem from prideful notions

But I am good enough
I am good enough
I am good enough
But what if good enough isn't good enough?

Soul that's starved, but what's the news you hope to dream about?
Is it something that reminds you of those traces that you once received?
Grant yourself a dose of patience, things are not as dire as they seem
Take your time to calibrate, it's onto a new horizon's call
