Summer Haze
13:34
|
|||
|
Spiraling into a vortex of unknowing
I can't remember how to feel this
What will matter when the sky erupts in toxic flame?
Poison spores disintegrating all my insides
I am drowning in my own flesh
Absorbed into the air I fade, my presence ever lost
Murder, see the murder of this world
Free me, free me from this rotting corpse
Scattered dark hiding the illusion
I lost my vision before I lost my sight
Senses dulled, I descend into a pit of leaves and thorns
The stinging in my skin subsides,
overcome by a brilliant warmth.
I am one with the grove, one with the Earth.
Or whatever strange parallel this may be.
The roots pierce through my skull
My mind absorbed into the dirt
What once was is now just a fragment
One realm dissolved into another
Please take me home
Far away from here
Summer! Scorching air
Summer! Let me see the twilight glare
Summer! Amber sky
Summer! Midday moon and velvet night
You're there, shining so bright
Cleanse me with your light
Tell me it's okay
Bring forth another day
You're there, shining so bright
Cleanse me with your light
Tell me it's okay
Bring forth another day
Blessed summer haze,
So sacred and profane,
Machines of poison gas,
A rust that will outlast
Blessed summer haze,
So sacred and profane,
Machines of poison gas,
A rust that will outlast us all
Murder, see the murder of this world
Free me, free me from this rotting corpse

I Was Never Here

I don't think I'm here
I can't see myself
Field of shining dew
Morning mist oblivion
The moisture in the air
Absorbs my very being
I fade away
Soaking in the sky
I'm already gone
Speak of me no more
O, o dawning sun
Rapture of the morning
Take me, far far away
Beyond the speckled moorland
My mind is dissolved in the daylight
Glow of a hilltop alight
I sorrow for the seer
I was never here
Speak of me no more
O, o dawning sun
Please cleanse it all, make it undone
Can't, can't try again
Just let me know, let me know when
I, I fall apart
Naught shall remain but my beating heart
Far, so far from here
A distant shine with warmth so near
My mind is dissolved in the daylight
Glow of a hilltop alight
I sorrow for the seer
I was never here

The Light Will Desert Us
11:47
|
|||
|
Enclosed within the obsidian nocturnal shell, so vast
A spirit left to wander a frozen waste, so cold
Look to the furthest point in the open sky, to the great empty void
Where the ghosts all congregate, do you hear?
They are calling us home, to the depths of outer space.
Soundless voice in an inky black sea
Its surface is silent now, take me back to that sacred realm
All will be silent
My voice an echo in the mist, in decay
All lost forever
A starlit trail through endless sky
Please, forgive me I don't know why this is
It's all falling apart, the pieces fall away
All will be silent once more
All will descend into nothing
As my body decays, I feel my organs oozing a black substance
I am one with the stars,
My putrid rot erased by the cleansing dark
It's all falling away
My guts a meat machine network
Why am I so afraid?
Nothing will endure the wrath of a wretched world
I sink into the ground
Bleached by the sun, rotting in the daylight
Into a world with no sound
I will find peace in the crust of this planet
Don't follow me to that place
It's my sanctum, where I waste
No comfort, no purpose
The light will desert us
Look to the furthest point in the open sky, to the great empty void
Where the ghosts all congregate, do you hear?
They are calling us home, to the depths of outer space.
Soundless voice in an inky black sea
Its surface is silent now, take me back to that sacred realm
All will be silent once more
All will descend into nothing

Atrophy and Absorption
12:44
|
|||
|
Immersed in the delusion
My skull a gaping chasm
Inside there lies pink liquid cloud
The air bleeds into pastel
Absorbing every brain cell
The dissolution of my mind
The world fades away like a burning reel
Strip away the top layer, see what's underneath
There's corruption in form, revealing artefacts
What is true? What is real? Does it matter now?
I am lost in the haze of a burning fire
Lucid phantoms of doubt rising from the ground
They reveal that they know with malicious grins
But their eyes remain dead, dead but peering
Still, the voices surround me - closing in
Loud, drowning out every frequency in my brain
I am screaming to myself through a screen
This is a document of my memory
It will all go away
Hazel halo through the darkness
Desert sands surround the iris
Chasm plunging deep within the morning dune
Within I see the inside
Radius of veins all aligned
The machine exsanguinates our planet
It sears, it soothes
The fire consumes
I cross the border, a waking sleep in daylight
A scorching sound obliterates my name, my presence
Within this, ellipsis, revealing my own sickness
I nurture, I perjure, I've become a deserter
What can I say, what can I do? I have become a vapor
The condensation in the air, rotting the margins everywhere
Run through the air, through the trees, through the rain
Soar through the clouds, through the lens
Take me home
