Illogic - Day by Day lyrics

Day by day i'm falling more
Day by day i'm falling more
Day by day

Slow down, you're moving too fast
(pump your brakes)
Embed you in sound with sort of
The impression that lightning makes
Hands clash with Zeus at Olympus
Peak with cracking force
So each plugged boat
And arrow slung contorts the torch passin'
And cancer stick lashin' performed
By the carton
But, by bud-cigarette burns emotion till
Placin' ashes in an urn
Cast stones over the riverbed
To watch the ripples spread
'til the liquid crystal's edge
Which a candy coated fantasy
Tips the pixel's head
Now how many licks does it take to
Get to the center of the surreal?
With diamond cluster
Punctures the surface of glass shields
And dreams turn a backdrop of
A guantlet of haunted stages
Razes the cash-crop field with patient grazes
Lifting every voice to sing
Fumbles every year that listens
To ensure that I'll get my roasted
Pigeon with all the fixins'
Famished heart muscles swallows the clock of
Ages count down with each pound
I feel my future tickin' away
Knowing only a second separates
Tomorrow from the day
I'm still searchin' this stack of needles
For a strand of hay
I'm nauseous my cup runneth
Over with fable talkin'
On some Tortoise and the Hare bliss
Ya'll kamikaze pilots rockin' helmets
Every nose-dive is a tempt of fate
And descension turns ascension on the
Stairway to heaven's gate
Where an angel wait's
Wielding a sword that bore the phoenix flame
He scanned the Book of Life seven
Times and didn't see your name

Day by day i'm falling more
Day by day i'm falling more
Day by day

Today's mighty oak jests yesterday's acorn
That held it's ground
See, growing old is mandatory
Growing up is optional
With thoughtscape tropical
Sandy beaches with sunrises and
Sets in a frame
A picture of my perspective with no face
But three names a trinity if you will
For instance
Time's text is just a metronome
Adding rhythm to existence
With existence comes mourning
As the star's tears string
The kite to symbolize
That every morning is the mourning of night
And with that said, I brace my gift's edge
With anticipation of a swan dive into the
Ever after of the here and now
And now I'm here where clever
Actors wear masks of chivalry
The apocalypse won't be televised
(but the Holocaust will be)
The guilty won't be tried
(but the innocent will be)
Gen lashes to each hound that
Doesn't return with a frisbee
(now that's justice)
I'm on the outskirts tryin' to
Find where the crust is
Be leavin' my window seat and breadcrumb the
Path to where my crutch is
So, I'll fight to take another breath
Even if it kills me
Because it's the principle of the breath
Not the breath it'self that fills me
As a man who thinks with his own mind
According to my third name
I want to exhale fate and
Wait for December's third rain
Collectin' each raindrop in my
Personal petri dishes
I just brushed a lamp a genie emerged
Granting me three wishes (One)
I live to see my son (Two)
I rise to raise my son (Three)
My tongue will be the device by
Which my carcass is hung day by day
I'm falling more day by day
I'm falling more day by day
