Start the Cycle

|
Four corners
Draped in red
Start the cycle
Live or burn
Sink or swim
It lives on
The colors change again
I’m falling down
Lifting limbs
I’m not conducting
but trying to escape
Still the water’s edge
Is getting further
I’m trying to escape
Nights spent wading
unconscious
through darkness

Falling Through Darkness
05:34
|

|
Shouldn’t I be smiling on sunny days?
I always end up hazy anyways
Thought I had to pretend again
Is the rising water bringing calm?
Can you keep your head?
Bound to exist in this endlessness
There’s no escape
Trying to hold it back
(How do I, I’m lost)
From over flowing
Give in and fill your lungs
(How do I, I’m lost)
There’s no escape
How do I live
When the world’s
Always burning
Let me go
So I can stop hurting
Sink under and let go
Today is gone
Falling through darkness
I’m lost
Hopes and dreams
All those tiny little meaningless things
Hold my breath
Till you say
I am yours, I am yours
How do I live
When the world’s
Always burning
Let me go
So I can stop hurting
So I can stop it
So I can stop it hurting
Let me go
So I can stop
I’ve got bad dreams..
I’ve got bad dreams
But reality’s worse
I’d rather die
Than bow to you first
All those tiny little things
All those tiny meaningless things
Hate is very strong
Builds into silent rage
I try hard to escape but die in a cage
No escape
All those tiny meaningless things

The Shapes and Shadows
05:16
|
|||
|
Dark
the darkest sea
Starving lights
Cease to be
Hope
Tunnels down
A swirling hole
of where I used to be
Drowned
Can’t come up
Drowned
It’s too much
Ripples from the past
A choir of currents
Runs deep inside
Adrift and alone
My hands keep grasping
At the rays of light
No future feels quite right
Weightless surrender
Dressed in new skin
Oblong shapes
Muddied vision
Bleeding buoyancy
(In my dreams)
In my dreams I’m drowning
I can hardly be seen
through the lines
of breaking waves
Even though I’m drowning
A deepened calm surrounds me
This new form
Loose skin uniform
In my dreams I’m drowning
Pull the chord
Rapid eye movement
Vacuum chamber simulcast
(That swarm around and cloud the sea)
I can’t control
The things above
Even though I’m drowning
A still life
Posing in the frame
Vacuum chamber simulcast
I can’t control
The things above
That swarm around
And cloud the sea
This new skin shield
Envelops me
Why are you
Why are you here?
(Why are you here?
What are you hoping to get out of this?)
Why are you
Why are you here?
(How does that make you feel?
Describe your dreams to me..)
I don’t want to change
what brought me here
I don’t want to sleep in fear
I don’t want to be defined
by the living suit
wrapped around me
I am held suspended
by the colors,
by the muted sounds,
the shapes and shadows
There’s no way out

Metamorphosis
03:55
|
|||
|
Unconscious
Return home
Slipping through time I see
The insides have rotted out
And cease to be
Slipping through time again
Looking back
Cause there is no forward
Metamorphasize

The Living Suit
06:42
|
|||
|
This suit is worn
This suit is warm
This suit it fits but don’t feel right
If I unzip I’ll display
My insides
And never assimilate (again)
If I’m unzipped and on display will I metamorphosize?
Metamorphosize me
Signs of fortune
Signs of fortune
Metamorphosis
Metamorphosize me
These signs of fortune
All day colors run
I can’t believe me when there’s no shame
All day these colors run
These signs of fortune
I can’t believe me when I’m lonesome
Let go
Reset
Uniform
Control
(This body is a highly attuned sensory instrument)
Let go
Reset
Your new fears
Unwrapped
(This body is a highly attuned sensory instrument)
Fantasy to vision
Synched up mechanism
(This body like an energy
Cocoon in the cosmos
This body, an enigma)
Portal open (There is no light)
Access code required (a cellular cage)
Forget what you know (how did I get here?)
For I know (let go)
she will laminate me (reset)
Prepared to die right
All day these colors run
These signs of Fortune
I can’t believe me when I’m lonesome
Body is a highly attuned sensory instrument
Prepared to die right
Lonesome
Let go
Reset
Prepared to die right
Lonesome
Body is a highly attuned sensory instrument
Control

The Helping Hand
09:25
|

|
Beneath the surface
I float, adrift
The water overwhelming me
It spills its endless riddles and rhymes
As I try desperately to breathe
Please help me
they are floating above
I’m so god damn scared
No escape
from the shadow
The sweet relief
I no longer feel
And the memories
fade away
And the bright beams they dance
through the ripples
As I cling to branches and willows
But heavy are my clothes, my mind
The weeping brook
in dreams will I succumb?
Please help me
they are floating above
I’m so god damn scared
No escape
from the shadow
The sweet relief
I no longer feel
And the memories
fade away
Sink down
as the curtain drops
Is this the final act?
Weightless
draped in red
Feeling the air
disappear
Light comes flashing
through the sea
The helping hand
reaches down..
Pulling me up
Pulling me out
To my dreams
I won’t succumb
