Beheld At Sunrise
07:03

All life grows
In harmonious suffering
Woven web
Painfully stretching towards light
Seeds will sprout again
Cold and ill begotten
Grey stems of life
Wreathed in flesh and skin
A million stars
Within one mind
Broaden pathways
And lower heights
No matter which path is taken
They all lead to the same place
There and back again and there again and back again and there again and back...again
Everywhere and nowhere

The Descent
08:09
|
|

Moving
Downwards
Towards
Familiar depths
Only one expression would remain
Branded upon the now featureless face
It would be that of pain
You steel yourself
Only to find out
You were running from yourself
Over and over again
Through absurd corridors
and times always forgotten
The mountain obscuring the sun
At its peak nothing awaits
Without a sense of purpose
bear and endure the weight of being
Labyrinthian patterns
Shapes echoing sounds
Turn into visions
Poisoned, inspired by fear
The shape of consciousness revealed
Metastructure intertwined with awareness itself
Rythmic pounding, pulsating pain
Eyes shift from temple to temple
Motion, increasing sickness
Progress achieved through obstruction
Swollen skin, ready to burst
Blood boiling flesh and mind
All I see and all I feel
Is fire
Fire reduced to ember
I feel the sun approaching
Its first rays, warm with contempt
Gently caressed its depleted child
The mountain obscuring the sun
At its peak meaning awaits
Though I gaze at heights untold
Deepest trenches beckon me

Of Unbearable Longing
07:24
|
|

When spoiled days of youth
Breed nights of harrowing truth
Spiral patterns reveal
Deceive and conceal
The stars gaze back and I feel them burning
Sorrowful embrace
White, hot with yearning
They painted across my face
In a dream I set fire to water
And buried my face in my own two hands
yet there was no absolution
Nervous sobbing and a crooked smile
I long to hear again
The voice from within
Which proudly sang to me
Of what I was to be
Dissonant voices echo
In a chamber far to small
Black liquid seeps from open eyes
The spores have found their way inside
Held captive in the eye of the storm
Where everything is quiet and nothing matters
Lay down and wither
Wither and listen!

Internal Contradiction
06:29
|
|
||
Doubtful pursuit
Remnants of primal instinct
An internal contradiction
Life forced upon itself
I bend in all directions
In me there seems to be truth
To grow by painful stimulation
And vanish all traces of youth
I swam in neural oceans
The tides were gentle and calm
Unused, the right to procreation
Solemn being engaging in forceful copulation
Bear witness
As nothing
Becomes
Something
Born of lies and lack of ambition
Raised by fear, hatred and grief
Behold! An imperfect source
Become a nightmare made flesh
Taken by force and held by virtue
Finger placed upon the lips
Lukewarm tears
Stream down her face
An imaginary fugue
Plays softly in the distance

Neurodelirium
06:47
|
|
||
Perceiving
Spectral gestures
Holding all
Keys of soil
Graceful unweaving of body and mind
Vibrant light
Reaching out to
A world inside
An astral coil
Ancient wisdom manifested
Resounding through timeless chambers
Fractal expression of life
In coarse, ecstatic convulsions
Standing on the brink of my mind
Celestial being, full of light
Grasping at the earth below
Let go and fall into the night
Steep is the price to pay
For unearned wisdom
Mangled psyche overflowing
No distinction between night and day

Heart Of Lead
04:15
|
|
||
Fragments
Slowly
Come
together
To
Form
A whole
Desperate hearts grow cold
Profound scenes of pain unfold
Bridges burned, regrets concealed
Emotionless void is revealed
Burn my eyes
Let them rest
True horror lies
Within my chest
|
||||
7. |
|
|||
Unstated terms and unspoken words
Weigh more than time and lead in new life
Oh, disarming pleasure
Unaware of loss
Deceitful eyes leering
Illusion of triumph was cast
All that is said
And all that is done
Crushes with sense
Of righteousness
Forced to kneel
By chains unreal
Suffer willingly
Suffer silently
Submissive
Deceitful
Misguided
And unloved
No sound travels
To my ears
As my lungs
Expulse the last remnants of air
And then
Ecstatic numbness
Of indecision
Overtaking
Endless pathways
Branching out
Yet I choose
To stand in place and stare in horror
Self imposed
Captive state
All keys in hand
Yet no movement is made
Stand in place and stare
Into infinity
As your youth
Trickles away
