Bedazzled

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

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
