Bedazzled 03:24
locked in the ritual your devotion is an unbounded faith that keeps me up at night that faith it keeps me up at night staring through the ceiling like an idiot like an idiot caught in the limbo of past, present and future your eyes they tell me everything what is and has always been howling like the moon fierce and ominous fierce and ominous dredged through the fallout phoenix rises curtain closes your face it keeps me up at night it’s your face that keeps me up at night staring at the stars like an idiot like an idiot

Chinook 05:36
go hide in your basement of doom go take wallowing walks through hallowed halls dressed up in the curse you can’t undo sit and await another fallout don’t let me go on pandering to this self indulgent and ironic little fuck show me what it’s like let me feel alright tear me all apart open me up and scream into my heart show me what it’s like scream into my heart let me feel all vast and vaporous go hide in your head again you fool go waste another decade in denial show me what it’s like let me feel alright tear me all apart open me up and scream into my heart show me what it’s like scream into my heart let me feel all vast and vaporous

Mirror 04:06
am I ever gonna see myself staring in the mirror at somebody else? a sullen image in a photograph odd odd odd don't want to be anomaly slipping in and out of a memory I want to tell you what you want to hear but, it hurts to lie it hurts to say it back seat in a pickup truck oh my God this can't be real radio and tires squeal and oh my God tell them something tell them I don't know that I'm not here that I'm not here I tried to be what they wanted me to be but I can't and I can't keep faking it cause it hurts to lie so used to feeling paralyzed trapped in this revery all the things I think are right are wrong how desperate am I to change that face to what I think it was? I tried to be so long what I can't be but I can't no I can't keep faking it it hurts to lie it hurts to say it

Black Moon 04:13
you came to me in a dream black moon you spilled your ebony blood into obsidian pools you whispered to me 'it's a dream' black moon I am your faltering love, you are my cynical fool you beckoned to me with a black guillotine a desolate angel in the depths of the sea you whispered to me 'just a dream, just a dream' your unforgivable sins, your unforgivable pleas you come to me you come to me inside the dream your whispering your whispering faltering you beckon me you beckon me black guillotine whispering whispering this is all just a dream just a dream

a million miles away you'd never even notice a face upon a face totally surrounded a parallaxing wave sweeps across the ocean fields and everglades somnolescent drowning deep inside the sapphire light amniotic nothing froze into the crystalline night hung on the edge of the maw deep into the sapphire light ambience and nonsense frozen in the crystalline eye hung on the edge of it all hallow empty space hideous and lonely I so firmly dislocate come tear me all up into shreds and throw what's left away deep into the sapphire light amniotic nothing froze into the crystalline night hung on the edge of it all no words no sounds no form no shape asylum in this nowhere place all wrapped within it's soft embrace hung on the edge of the gaping maw no words no sounds no form no shape all hallow headed nothingness all cataclysmic bends and twists through wormholes birthed in the fall drowning in the pools of light sapphire red and perfect white staring through the crystalline eye hung on the edge of the gaping maw

Eclipse 04:13
spinning and careening off somewhere out into the Aether out into your hallow head no words no sounds in a nowhere place warm inside the body warm inside the ultimate end like you weren't even there we're connected more than we could explain we eclipse and we are one and the same a whole disappearing in the vaporous fog everyting and then nothing at all at all wormhole hidden smoke and mirrors dislocated lonely eyes sincere time encapsulated space all wrapped up awaiting for embrace in some beautiful place we're connected more then we could explain we eclipse and we are one and the same a whole reappearing in the wake of the fall everything and yet it's nothing at all at all at all

Phoenix 04:43
it seems you’ve forgot all about yourself pretending to be someone else hopelessly disengaged in all your half ass statements of love like old discarded souvenirs your melancholy wasted years afraid to be a part of anything has left you so uninspired I didn’t love it I didn’t have another choice it’s like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole waiting for a phoenix to rise to not feel so uninspired, uninspired come and put me in the place where I belong and fit in right where I should be like old discarded souvenirs your melancholy wasted years you tried to be a part of everything but it’s not possible I didn’t love it I didn’t have another choice it’s like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole waiting for some phoenix to rise to not feel so uninspired, uninspired come and put me in the place where I belong and fit in right where I should be

Limbo 04:40
I never really made up my mind I still don’t know what I'm supposed to be some kind of modern hippie with morals some kind of technicality slipped through the cracks where do you think I’ve been? what have I been doing with all of this time? hiding in the basement with my mistakes and the fallout caught in limbo trying to pretend it’s alright I’m optimistic but come on be realistic who are you fooling? just yourself waiting wasting trapped you’re doing it right now focused on the motif superfluous trying so hard to relax so I could try and make sense of it where in the hell have I been? what have I been doing all of this time? hiding in the basement trying to erase it can’t escape the fact I’m caught in limbo trying to pretend it’s alright I’m optimistic but come on be realistic who are you fooling? just yourself waiting wasting trapped you’re doing it right now

Shapeshifted 05:10
thunder and lightning as I ran through the woods it could have been one hundred thousand years an ocean of light spilled on the face of the earth while I was running through the woods heels planted deep into the side of your bed the giant white face the knot in my stomach I couldn’t tell if I was the night I couldn’t tell if I was even there it was terrible it was not making any sense I couldn’t tell if I was the night I couldn’t tell if I was even there feral hearts full of feral thoughts and forgotten names a night full of panic and reflex and constant shapeshifting big black holes in my head where no light shines never had a glimmer of hope for these reclusive memories I couldn’t tell you why I said what I said but I said it I must have shapeshifted I couldn’t tell you why I did what I did but I did it I was hoping we could forget it
