lemme tell you 'bout this crazy dream
i found myself inside a submarine
the levers and the dials now
feel like a child now
is this the reason
i no longer smile now
you were an amoeba tailing me
tracking all my movement perfectly
the bustle of the shell trade
animated knife blade
you cut me off
it's entropy in cascade
galaxies aglow songs in tow long ago
crushed into a glass radio
aspect ratio absent snow undergo
transformation archipelago
i can offer you no guarantee
beacon of interiority
it's not a fair fight
carbon dioxide
so are you in
or are you on the outside

Fading Arc

you're my fading arc
you shine on even in the dark
you're my bird in hand
you lead me to the promised land
when i am lost
i run and hide
if i could see
see you beside
shackled myself
held to the ground
when i awake
no one around
stars in times before
the night is long but we endure
scarred by apathy
i nearly lost that part of me
when i am lost
i run and hide
if i could see
see you beside
if it should fall
you'll let it be
if one should ask
after me
hold my heart in hand
and i'll go dancing through the land
go away from me
and i'll reside in agony
you’re just a fading arc

Stars Collide

Well I found God
And I found hope
I found lies
And I found rope
Well I found love
And I found peace
You went west
And I went east
I found wrong
And you found right
Can we wait another minute?
While we watch the stars collide
When I found you
I’m not well
Sit right down
Rest a spell
I need your eyes
I need your touch
I need you madly
I said too much
I guessed wrong
And you guessed right

Love You
04:29
|
|

Trapped in glass
I’m not suited to the task
Burning down
Amber hues
Divine device
Fish are frozen in the ice
Underground
Me and you
‘Cause I am staying cool for your sake
Can we rely on all the memories we don’t make
Do we lament all of the passages we don’t take
Can you and I just fall asleep never to wake
‘Cause I love you
Yes I love you
‘Cause I love you
Yes I love you
On and on
Blinding sky we look upon
Errant blows
Your abuse
Divine mistake
Transformations never take
So it goes
Me and you

Only One
03:56

|

tell me i'm not the only one
losing before i have begun
i let them take your energy
I can’t conceal my agony
the path is falling
right behind you
vapor adhesive
imaginary glue
goons and imposters
wearing our faces
this is the first time
put it through the paces
in a surreal haze
encased in diamond glaze
stuck to the heel of an nimrod
watching sheep gaily graze
this is my final phase
what does it mean to become god?
you can't return to whence you came
nor should it cause you any shame
reaching for pleasures dead and gone
this is the hill we die upon
this world is so unjust
from core to earthen crust
i’ve been imprisoned for so long
they reap the fruits of us
i cannot hide my disgust
replace their noise with our song

My Familiar
02:51

|

Injured thousands, dead and dying
There’s a pattern to observe
In the reach of holy silence
Embers of a fallen world
I’ve mistaken
You for someone
I could see it in my mind
Is it really
Almost over
Fading out now any time
Desiccated, errant echoes
Entropy is all around
I remember my familiar
I’m defeated by the sound
You’re gonna come falling down, ah
You’re gonna come falling down, ah
You’re gonna go crawling ‘round, ah
You’re gonna go crawling ‘round, ah
