Loose Ends

My body seized by a moment
Piece by piece I'm realigned
Of the view that I'm aware of
All that's here now redesigned
Unaware of
My composure
Hot, the skin is shivering
Can't deny this state no longer
And I'm slipping....
Where do you go?
Are you with me?
My friend?
Can you feel
What I am hearing?
Far too hard
To comprehend
Kick to see
If I am breathing
Just to feel the physical
Thoughts arranged
In prism spires
Protruding through the logical
Grip the matter
Here before me
Grasp so I can't fall again
Heavy handed
Fall forever
Forward and then back again
Where have I gone?
Are you with me?
My friend?
Can you hear
What I am feeling?
Far too gone
To comprehend
Let it all, go
Let the pieces slip away
They will come, back down
Rearranged another way
Just one, deep breath
Is all that is possible
til the next, one
Appreciate this moment,
appreciate the movement, appreciate the space we are in
The size and shape, are the same
Shifting and spreading again
Deconstruct the beginning parts
But do not mind the end
Reconstruct the finished moments
Let yourself breathe, it's useless to pretend
The loose ends tied
The loose ends tied
Tightly once again

Pantheon

I remember
You as another you
What it felt like
To see through those eyes
I won't go back
To that lost time
Before you rearranged
The gods in your skies
Seek these places out
The roads lead nowhere
I seek this temple in my dreams
But my visions obstruct me so
I'm digging deeper inside of me
For some sense of belonging
Why do you haunt me?
Ghost of poison
Stinging bitterness
My senses dissolved
Why can't I let go?
The claws sunk in deep
Lingering, preventing me
From being absolved
I seek this temple in my dreams
But my visions obscure me so
I'm digging deeper inside of me
For some sense of belonging
Where are you going to now?
Where are you running to?
I am searching
for the reasons why
My thoughts just keep colliding
I am finding
The very limits of my
Perception of what will come to be
My pantheon, the stars and sky,
All paced out with all aligned
The boundaries and borders were
Constructed and clearly defined
Now I realize and find
The construction of my mind
And rearrange the pieces
Shatter all my sense of why

This plague
In my mind
Is a thousand vices
Without a place to attach
And I'm trying
But the effort's wasted
In the gaze of your faces
I'm dying to see the flames
Of the diamonds in your eyes
How futile is this fate?
Without the drive to achieve it
Losing time
The glass is broken
As the sand slips through my hands
I feel like I'm dying
Every atom returning
I feel my soul burning
I'm beginning to see the flames
Of the diamonds in your eyes
How futile is this fate?
Without the drive to achieve it
Slipping away
Time is slipping away
Realize, what you hide inside
You are primed, prominences rise
We are star driven
We are the children of the sky
Here we stand together
We'll feel forever
The moonlight embrace
Stars becoming displaced
And if we should ever
Fail to stand and weather
We'll be swept away
Drowned in eternal grace

Dreadnought

Waiting
To feel your warm
Breath upon my skin
As your voice comes close to me
Whispering to
Let go of your choice
And to believe
That there is more to here
If you just wait and let it be
Revealed
A pain
A static in my heart
That I wish you could see
As the words slip over me
Your everlasting love
Is what I need
What I crave
But I can’t seem to fi nd
The feeling left inside
It’s gone from me
And if you don’t recognize me,
I will drink to numb the taste
Of the ashen dissolution
Of what was to be our fate
In your smile I still see the
Very same skies and the shorelines
That have haunted my thoughts
Since you passed out of my sight
Drowning
Within the sounds
Memories
That just keep on
Repeating inside
And I feel your old voice
Still speaking,
Whispering
I keep on believing
That my choices are my own
The steps I choose to take
Are only mine and mine alone
But you keep being with me
Pervading every thought
Dispelling the illusion
My dreadnought
I cannot escape what I am
I cannot escape I am you
Every single mirrored action
Every motion shows the truth
Every single
Mirrored action
Every motion
Shows the truth

Inverse

Through blind eyes I can see
Through deaf ears I can hear
Assembling my fate
Has become all too clear
I can’t return
To where I’ve been
The fading black
Takes all I’ve seen
The shadows cast reflect on me
Inversely falling to the sea
The future has become
The past in front of me
Locked inside a space so real
Break the cage and fi nally set me free
I can’t remain
Where I have been
The fading black washes my sin
The shadows cast reflect on me
Inversely falling to the sea
Pillars stand
Crumbling
Fading black
Reflects on me (through what I see)
Unfamiliar (known to me)
Familiarity
Beginnings over (end is near)
And I know that
I can’t return here
I cannot return where
I think I know I come from
Seeing black and hearing
The sounds of the nothing calls me
You and my refl ections cast
Shadows upon the æther
Answering the questions
Unbeknownst to us for meaning

Repression
06:50
|
|||
You awaken
To a prison of your own making
The walls too tall
And the sunlight far away
You’re insisting
On a labyrinthine existence
The pathways shrouded
And the ends obscured
You walk as though your feet
Are not yours
You see as though your eyes
Turn inwards
You’re following a beat
That’s unsure
Knowing deep inside,
You are impure
I want to be free of
From this cage of
All my forgotten memories
Show me the path now,
I don’t want to be drowned
In the darkness
Taking hold of me
Foreboding
Of your simple world imploding
Illusions gone
As the veil is torn away
You shuffle like the road
Will give way and
You’re counting every hour
Till moonlight comes
And brings with it
The key that will unlock
The core of your soul,
That growing up stole
I will tear this open wide
I won’t stop until I’m free
Bleeding out the poison inside
Of the repression consuming me
You think you can escape from me
Underestimating what it is you feel
My roots run deep, my grasp is strong
I will be with you forever long
Then comes the day, rays pouring in,
Purity rising up, from deep within
The pathway revealed, obscured no more,
Into the light, open the door
I will be free

I am the sight before the sound
The bolt before the thunder
The always assimilating
Nomadic wanderer
I stand watching auras glowing in the moonlit sky
As the sand around my feet is washed by waves of
foaming white
Look into the distance
Search into the depths
As you gaze through the æther
You may find yourself
The mountains in the distance
Are a visage staring back
As the arches frame an iris
With its center pupil black
What are you hiding
(Just feel me)
Behind what you show?
(Let me through)
What are you fighting
(Just speak to me)
With your waves crashing so?
(Let me through)
What are you hiding
Behind what you show?
What are you fighting
With your angry waves crashing so?
You have to
Find ways to
See past you
And ascend beyond the void
You're passing
The edge of your senses
And there is no
Returning

Awakening
06:01
|

I stand before you
A waking dream of all you’ve been and seen, and
I am a mirror
A pane of glass for this world to see through
I am a lexicon
Inscribed with all of the thoughts inside, that
I will deliver
From the path of the lies I hide
Awakening from all my fears
I cleanse myself, I shed my tears
I tear the veil right down around me
I find out what I’ve been
You are a shadow
Of all the dreams I have felt before, and
You are a codex
Of all the thoughts I have tried to hide, and
I am so frightened
By the layers buried in your skin, but
I am enlightened
I will find the truth within
Awakening from all my fears
I cleanse myself, I shed my tears
I tear the veil right down around me
I find out what I’ve been
Morning bells, wake me from my slumber
To the light I will find
I will sleep not any longer,
I will climb to the outside

Edge of the Sky
05:04
|

The kiss of rain upon the skin
Feels so new
I take in the air I breathe
As if I never learned to
Who I was
What I've done
It's all a memory
Maybe I'll revisit
Maybe I'll stay the same
But...
I have tasted failure
I have faced my fear
My sense of self so narrow
That I disappeared
What held me together
Slowly came undone
It's only when you fall apart
That your feet can touch solid ground
Break it down and build again
Take my time
It's like a million dreams
But only one that's made for me
The cracks will show
But all will grow
Back together
Maybe I will diminsh
Maybe I'll grow stronger
I have tasted failure
I have faced my fear
My sense of self so narrow
That I disappeared
What held me together
Slowly came undone
It's only when you fall apart
That your feet can touch solid ground
Run to the edge of the sky...
