PROCESSION

I reside in the velvet garden
lingering with remorseful intent,
the glowing crux of damnation
Here, in the illusion of a garden
anchored by the sum of ambition,
dreaming of departure
Swimming in grief in the midnight grove
evading the limelight, cocooned in regret,
Let my consciousness bathe in the shame I molt, shedding the weight of failure
Verdance healing
Desperate fleeing
The garden is mine
The garden is mine

NASCENT

Today I woke up and decided
That I'd fear nothing
I watched the crows at sunrise
And bathed in their apathy
I threw myself at my environment
It folded beneath my courage
Today I tasted agency
And wielded it like fire to wolves
I brandished my newfound weapon
Like a child to ants
The scent of their suffering stings
Like hot sugar in my eyes
Today I became a black hole absent of ambition
Like a mountain wind with no obstacle
Tearing through peasants livelihood
Pestilence draining silhouettes
No eyes can see my strength
Tomorrow I will be the crows that I watched, indifferent to your gaze

CUT TIES
03:01
|

|
Here inside this echo chamber
Sweating limbs cling to each other
Here inside this empty mirror
The knife is absent from my grasp
A gentle churning of the deluge
Displacing me, displacing me
To endure another single moment tolerating looking back at myself in the reflection of your tears is the last drop in the ocean that would flood my soul, and all I want is to suffer alone and let you go free. Even if we're both worse off, at least we're not to blame for a life that's left unlived, fruitlessly; lost.

LEAVING SONG
04:46
|
|||
|
Obliteration, come
Obliteration, warm
Obliteration, safe
Distension of the heart
Magnanimous in grief
The lashing of the soul
Eyes meet trodden earth
"Goodbye"
Gorging on the soot of the past
Sucking the ash off our fingers
Tasting ourselves destraught,
Destroyed
With my forehead on soil, warmth trespasses
Soon my vacant space will be
absent from your mind
Finally our fibres: intertwined
are torn from illusion; homeless
Evading the spectral throes
relentlessly emitted
Long sundered by the will, honed with veil parting eyes
Celebrate my spectacle.
Revel in my worth.
Gnawing on my flaking sinew
Coral teeth shave and mash like worms emerging after rain
The marrow erupts from the skin
This failing vessel served unwilling
My spirit sliced in twain
I kiss the earth and breathe my last
I say farewell swallowing the dirt

CULPRIT
05:08
|

|
Little worm, bow to me
Little worm, worship me
Little worm, bow to me
Little worm, worship me
Crawl to me, little worm
I laugh while I watch
Your home is there
Beneath the dirt
Beneath my feet
Below the earth
Struggle, languid, steeped in shade
Wimpering towards the sun
Squandered, flailing, waiting for a day
A day that never comes
Little worm I wish you knew
The latent life you held
Little worm, I wish you knew,
The latent life you held,
you held - forfeited.
Harassing the sleepless brings me joy
Their pallid, sunken eyes begging me,
begging me to relinquish all their joy.
Their tomorrow is the sum of their past,
meagre and stale.
But their vacant countenance
feeds me, nourishing,
and so I eat their time
while wasting my time,
dragging our feet in tandem.

ALGERNON

|

|
Hate, gnawing at my flesh
begging for release
Hopeless ambition
swallowed by fate
Incarnated purposeless
will without direction
Dull, vapid, empty shells
absence housed in skin.
Withdraw, cower, weep, shy away, recede.
Weakness - revealed.
Disgust - dominant.
Hatred - merciless.
Erase the filth.
Never change, never grow.
Never change, never grow.
Choking on your flaking sinew.
Failing vessel served unwilling, hollow.
Spirit rends it for its service.
