i looked upon her face
drawing the light towards a stygian horizon
of starless abyss
entropic mother of the sun, earth, sea
her irradiant aura
cloaked in cataclysm and joy
such gravity
to draw all questions inwards
yet from this singularity spills all the colors of creation
soundless, time scrapes it's fissured paintbrush from sky to shore
…
eraser, eraser
seal up these these visions
and lay me down amongst the lost
to feed the forest roots
beneath the blood-draped hills

Crossing
05:08
|

you bleed into these dreams
like a tourniquet
for the flow of my mind
i keep waiting and watching for signs
of the crossing
the moment between
we walk this place
we walk the line
to the crossing

Roots & Vines
06:38
|

deep in the heart of the mother
infinities encoded and stored
potentials of thought undiscovered
the seeds of a billion new ways
a planted path
of roots and vines
the oxides of time leave us withered
cast from heavens unkept
with too many years unspent
but
we carry on
we carrion
we carry on

Ozymandias
05:37
|
|||
empires sprawling in dust
where once great cities sung
and wanderers bore witness
to the hand that mocked
and the heart that fed
in palaces of consciousness
forged from supernovae
in fleeting structures of self
lie the dying embers of
a universal birth
in miniature
and in between the lonely stars
flung from the galaxy's spiral arms
death and life are merely states of matter
everything that was, will be
forever and ever
and always

of Infinite Conjecture
04:24
|
|||
cut from Occam's razor
into islands of make-believe
and dropped
into a sea of possibilities
there is nothing here that makes any sense at all
there is nothing here that is true
on a vessel of infinite conjecture
the wind in my hair
is the only thing that matters
|

the sun is just another torture
above these endless clouds
choirs of angels, in sackcloth
tuning perfect notes
the oblate world sings hosanna to a drowned mind

the Hollow Light
05:02
|
|||
pools in the aether
i'm swimming towards you
i feel you i feel it all failing
in the houses of the old gods
the shadows grow longer
and oh god it's the light!
i just want to go out
kicking and screaming
and cursing the lies
that we told ourselves
fuck them
i never believed
(but it's a blanket of hope
and it's warming the cold)
even here at the end
all the white light in heaven
can't penetrate this
darkness

we shared a little dream
in whispers and in lines
and the heavens’ vastness
spilled out before us
and unknown machinery
propelled us forwards
yet my feet touch the ground
where dreams hold no sway
where war, and famine, and futility reigns
and we fight the waning days…
in the end it doesn’t matter
my love, we sail between the stars
