Then expects us to breathe solutions 
In a society that demands whispers of lullabies rocking them to sleep

Inner struggle

...I accepted being the third wheel
But now the fifth?
It's like I'm made out of steel
I became a myth
Still can't believe it's real
I can feel everything in my pith

...
    Two nights from now 
    for the 3,337th time
    Israel will tell the story

Whose spin to wreak

A demon vortex
