Cedric Till & Undogmatic - Melancholia lyrics

[Verse 1] The meridian between joy and sorrow Crossed by the equator, a few feet removed from my nadir A flat parabola was suggested for whatever success is Defiance reinforced the redoubt, a valiant effort Told to step outside of it, meet the tenants Of a settlement full of pessimist folks in need of penance Been there before and have yet to heed their lessons Inhale their atmosphere and breathe congested The tapes became loose from often repeated messages In essence fatigue, from stress indeed, overdue to set in Signals that were overcompressed Aimed at the tympanic membrane, loathingly hissed Made of galactic matter, when the nova hits I'ma blow up like V838 Monocerotis Shrink back to size, get dense and spin A teaspoon of my thoughts the opposite of what it says on the tin Was shaken, not stirred from events Seeing that the gra** was dried brown on both sides of the fence... [Verse 2] A heartbeat away from letting a woman lead me astray The machine broke, thank human engineering it did Never did I think to glean hope From the failure perpetrated by the person that had made it, me There is still room for improvement There usually is, so I try to reduce Newtons Saturnine look on my face, mercurial ways Introverted, penning my cursive, see I just need space Escapist tendencies, my sanctuary's dreamscape Always shrouded in green clouds when in between takes In tune with my past, so the vocals may phase Waterside, thinking back to how it felt to be treasured Mutally induced and reciprocated coldness Eventually burns the bridge spanning pain and pleasure And I was on that bridge when it fell Nothing awaits beneath, not even hell You can slow the descent, but approaching the end Serenity sets in, now you're afloat in the winds of change...
