The Crumble (intro)
02:30
|
|||
|
I am distant, I am near
I am heavy still with fear
I am hollow, I am free
I am nothing I wish to be
I am learning, I am able
I am chaos, I am stable
I am growing with the Earth
I am death, and soon rebirth.

Fables
03:49
|
|||
|
Can’t believe it’s over
Memories and clover
Shut my eyes
Rationalize
Apologize
Melodies and fables
I’m feeling unstable
Shut it off
Block it off
Falling off
Ooo…
You said that we were safe here
Then you up and disappeared
Abandoning
Demanding we
Deserve nothing
I’ll sit and pick the pieces
Hoping feeling ceases
Forget it all
Regret it all
Mend it all on my own
Own…
Ooo…

Womb

My idol, my womb, my foremost defense
My root, my teacher of all my gifted pretense
My savior, my victim, my dove defiled
My wings clipped, my teeth wrecked
My whole world restyled
In shipwreck and anguish
And billowing sorrow
I wander, I replace,
I beg for tomorrow
To come back, to disappear
To listen, destroy, to see
You were never, never, you were never supposed to leave
You coward, you liar, you holiest of eyes
You saunter, you vanish, thundering our skies
You black hole, you beauty, you fucking selfish design
I love you, I release you
And for survival I resign
In shipwreck and anguish
And billowing sorrow
I wander, I replace,
I beg for tomorrow
To come back, to disappear
To listen, destroy, to see
You were never, never, you were never, never supposed to leave
I will not pretend
I will not believe
I will not defend
We were faltered, we were faltered, we were faltered at conceive
And you were never, you were never, you were never supposed to leave

Frozen in place
Despite this enchanting space
With a mind of quicksand
The shadow takes my hand
Oh black stallion
Let me touch your mane
Guide me through the shadow land
Cleanse me in the rain
To depths so dark
I swore they don’t exist
It seems distraction bears
A strong reaction where
Suffering persists
Oh black stallion
Let me stroke your mane
Guide me through the shadow land
Cleanse me in the rain

Affixed (interlude)
02:27
|
|||
|
Streams of reality
Surges and fallacies
Ebbs and flows
Where nobody knows
Whether truth or fantasy
Lie there in harmony
Or forever quarrel
Under never-come ‘morrow
But what do we dare
In remedying this snare
We find no desire
Only water and fire
Growing and burning
Forever spinning and turning
Affixed to a track
Of habit or lack
And stay feeding this dream
Of a lifetime-long scheme

Mendacity Deplete
05:21
|
|||
|
Drop the case and wash your face
Damn it all, damn it all
Sell the lies and minimize
The land calls, the land calls
Where seeds that grow, you’d never know
Until you fall, until you fall
Woken by the sun
No home and no one
Unfold just begun
Breaking through
Head into the night
Mother Moon so bright
Fortified by light
Made anew
Colors quaking have you shaking
Reach, retreat, reach, retreat
Sand and stone and thorn and bone
Beneath your feet, beneath your feet
The ocean mist, a catalyst
Mendacity deplete
Woken by the sun
No home and no one
Unfold just begun
Breaking through
Head into the night
Mother Moon so bright
Fortified by light
Made anew

Colloquy
04:20
|
|||
|
It’s five hours past the sound of my last nerve
The world’s closing in, I could rip off my skin
I do not deserve
To be treated this way, trampled and splayed
For my open ear
Spat out and splattered by only your chatter
It’s unfair, my dear
For the love of God,
Why don’t you hear me?
For Heaven’s sake,
What will it take
For you to listen?
It merely takes two, there’s me and there’s you
To converse
Such common forsaking of mutual partaking
In what we traverse
My quiet, misleading for acceptable depleting
Of empathy
But I’m seeking elation and this conversation
Is fucking draining me
For the love of God,
Why don’t you hear me?
For Heaven’s sake,
What will it take
For you to listen?

Wandering One
03:30
|
|||
|
Sojourning days
Scouring space
Through moon and sun
Wandering one
You climb to the peak
It’s your heart that you seek
And to it run
Wandering one
You lift to the sky
Through your hands and your eyes
And come undone
Wandering one
You feel through the wind
In your mind, on your skin
That it will come
Wandering one

Finding Solace
04:29
|
|||
|
You know
How it goes
North and South
Ebbs and flows
And all we hope to find
Is some kind of peace of mind
A place to rest our soul
The one and only goal
Home…
You know
How it goes
East and West
Ebbs and flows
And all we hope to find
Is some kind of peace of mind
A place to rest our soul
The one and only goal
Home…

Deserted
04:04
|
|||
|
I’m here alone
To heal my soul
The wind, my guide
Solitary and alive
I have hidden in the lee
Become the desert side of me
Surviving through tenacity
Find the seeds of life beneath
The silent pray
To heat’s decay
For the brave and the bold
I desert the old
I have hidden in the lee
Become the desert side of me
Surviving through tenacity
Find the seeds of life beneath

From Land to Sea
05:20
|
|||
|
Wandering along, I come to riverside
Where I see your boat, afloat
And stare into your eyes
You ask me to join you
To wade and climb aboard
To leave the land and take your hand
For oceans we left unexplored
You may have loved me then
You may still love me now
But you have to let me go
Have to row along somehow
This river, it is churning
And threatens overturning
So leave me on the shore
Where I’ll wish you well
Forevermore
I must stick to course
To trees and mountainsides
For I am meant to roam the lands
And you to tend the tides
The water, it is flowing
And with it, you are going
To find for what you pray
And land, it sees
By sand and leaves
That separate, we must stay
I did love you then
And I still love you now
But I have to let you go
Have to trek along somehow
This path, it is overgrown
Narrow and unknown
So leave me to the moor
And wish me well
Forevermore

The Revive (outro)
02:21
|
|||
|
Awakening…
The nature of the break
The winds of rapid change
The crumble of the soul
The grasping of a goal
I am now coming to
I am seeing you
I am embracing all of me
I am now breaking free
