Erosion of the Sky
04:50
|

We’re being took for a ride on a theta wave of our design
On a vortex of futures and memories forever entwined
(Can you feel it?)
I was counting the sheep, now I’m counting my infinite fingers
They’re making oceans from puddles, temples from rubble, suns from dying embers
Oh I’m lost in lucidity’s disguise
Or is clarity mimicry this time?
Lost in lucidity again
Asleep at the wheel of the infinite highway
Lost in lucidity again
Perceptions warp and then fade away (away)
I can’t believe this reality only is mine
Ambrosia is blooming, illusions consuming, erosion of the sky
Oh I’m lost in lucidity’s disguise
Or is clarity mimicry this time?
Oh my god no
There’s symbols floating on the breeze
I can’t tell if this is dream
So show me that we’re real
Enchantress
Show me that we’re real
Just confess
Show me that we’re real
We exist
Oh I’m lost in lucidity’s disguise
Or is clarity mimicry this time?
Erosion of the sky
Lost in lucidity again
Asleep at the wheel of the infinite highway
Lost in lucidity again
Perceptions warp and then fade away (away)

Mellow Majic
05:58
|
|||
The desert sand is sculpting sacred spires to reach the stars
A cathedral with serpent’s gown from the creek is being carved
But all your wind don’t do nothin’ no art within your scars
In silence I find harmony your sounds leave my mind starved
They wear me down
By your eyes I’m gagged and bound
They wear me down
In solitude solace found
Where I feel their focus fade away
No words to say to cast my mellow majic
The eye is wider when it’s one
Space to wander in my mellow majic
Alone in my cyclone
My soul fragments to fractals across the oceans of thought
Drifting at 99 emotions per minute
The illuminated road I see infinite
Like a mirror reflecting mirrors with no image
In stillness I exist only as breath
Omnipresent I’m ascending
Feel their focus fade away
No words to say to cast my mellow majic
The eye is wider when it’s one
Space to wander in my mellow majic
Alone in my cyclone
Echoes
Never drone when I’m alone
Every thought
And every dream that I’ve forgot
Blooming
And taking flight with dizzy wings
‘Till I’m lifted
And reality is wilted
I feel their focus fade away
No words to say to cast my mellow majic
The eye is wider when it’s one
Space to wander in my mellow majic
Alone in my cyclone
They all fade away, they all fade away
No words to say, no words to say

Midnight Sun
05:09
|
|||
I found your shell
In fragments on the shore
We’re breaking down, our swells are breaking
With every handful
I lose twice as many more
To pay the elevator to your soul
And it’s known
That our tides move alone
Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oooh
The midnight sun is blinding us to dreams
Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oooh
The midnight sun is shining through your seems
Who will animate our essence
Who will shape our quintessence
Won’t you prophesize the solstice
Won’t you?
Congeal our auras to one so that we are seen
Incorporeal footprints in the sand
I’ve seen your ghost
I’ve seen your vacant stare
That climbs a memory of a disappearing time
When light enticed
But now that mirage is me
Have I become the reverie?
Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oooh
The midnight sun is blinding us to dreams
Ooh, ooh ooh ooh oooh
The midnight sun is shining through your seems
Who will animate our essence
Who will shape our quintessence
Who will prophesize the solstice
Won’t you?
Congeal our auras to one so that we are seen
So that we are seen
Congeal our auras
And black the midnight, black the midnight sun
So that we are seen
Congeal our auras
And black the midnight sun
So that we are seen

Capricorn (Dirty Moves)
06:36
|

Your serpentine lips unholy
I can’t believe what they tell me
In the kissed neon mist tropics of Capricorn
Oh Jazz I’ll swim through you tonight
‘Cause they’ll be watching, they’ll be creeping
They’ll be climbing up the walls
They’ll be hiding, they’ll be seeking
They’ll be waiting for us to fall
In the plaza, discotecas
In synchronized steps
They don’t see it, marionette
That’s under your lips
Crying dirty moves
Elevate our words above an alibi
‘Cuz your highway eyes they don’t drive no lies
But they lead without heed for misdeeds in the early morn
So maroon our mood here tonight
‘Cause they’ll be watching, they’ll be creeping
They’ll be climbing up the walls
They’ll be hiding, they’ll be seeking
They’ll be waiting for us to fall
In the plaza, discotecas
In synchronized steps
They don’t see it, marionette
That’s under your lips
Crying dirty moves
Beckoning the truth to silence
Dirty moves
Waking the dreams the sirens
Dirty moves
Best believe they hunting your
Dirty moves alright
Rinse those lines from your water hands
They read like omens and drip with deceit
It’s drowning me
Tamp the plant and light my match
Feed me your smoke
Burn delusion and collusion into one
You got me looking over my shoulder
Scrying the unturned stones
Worshiping the smolder
Crying to the empty throne
Dirty moves
Beckoning the truth to silence
Dirty moves
Waking the dreams the sirens
Dirty moves
Best believe they hunting your
Dirty moves alright

Out of Phase
04:48
|
|||
Another day, another way I’ve betrayed
We’re out of phase and you’ll keep it that way
Holding on my every word, just to toss ‘em out
We’re out of phase, our signals washing out
You were the arrow cutting through the fray
How could I know that your flight would lead astray
Like an island when the seas would storm and toss
How could I sense that you’d go drifting off
Another day, another way I’ve betrayed
We’re out of phase and you’ll keep it that way
Holding on my every word, just to toss ‘em out
We’re out of phase, our signals washing out
A stone monument, you offered us shade
Oh we never dreamt that you’d disintegrate
You were the cord that tied us into one
Oh weren’t we floored when you came undone
Another day, another way I’ve betrayed
We’re out of phase and you’ll keep it that way
Holding on my every word, just to toss ‘em out
We’re out of phase, our signals washing out
Lines, you only walk in lines
Paper thin, and now they’re wavering
So you hiss and call me the snake behind your window so opaque
Lines, can’t see but only lines
Another day, another way I’ve betrayed
We’re out of phase and you’ll keep it that way
Holding on my every word, just to toss ‘em out
We’re out of phase, our signals washing out

Shortest Straw
05:02
|
|||
The shortest straw the bourgeois made us draw
The shortest straw declawed us with your laws
The shortest straw now will be the last and break your spineless backs
We cannot breath we’re choking on your smears
Liberty thieves our words won’t disappear
We’re bound to bereave year after year so we’re immune to tear gas
We’re starving, you’re numb to pain
We’re fighting, you’re playing games
We’re protesting, you’re on parade throwing empty emblems
So tell me, can we teach the blind to see
With fire setting ablaze their eyes
Bombardier can we help the deaf hear
With thunder rolling from our cries
Unborn walking as if they’ve seen the light
Sleepers talking as if they know the plight
Different colors obscuring the one thread stitching vision forward
Siamese twins tearing out their seems
Shedding skin, stomping out our dreams
Couldn’t recognize the strange fruit from an over-ripened orchard.
So tell me, can we teach the blind to see
With fire setting ablaze their eyes
Bombardier can we help the deaf hear
With thunder rolling from our cries
Brother, by and by, you’ve got a long way to fall
‘Till we’re eye to eye
Brother, don’t you lie, you’ve got a long way to fall
Break line testify
Brother, gemini, you’ve got a long way to fall
Long way to fall

Embrace the Space
06:17
|
|||
Here we go again I’m sinking deep inside my own head
Disappearing in the tangled what-if second-guessed threads
And you’re standing here so far away smoke signaling the cast away
Calling on an empty sky
You can never see the world inside of me
And I can never know from where your spirit flows
Sleepwalk our sense, sleepwalk our sense
Feeling for the lover’s hex
Surrendering, surrender it
Stop overthinking
And embrace the space
Here we go again I’m making something out of nothing
You gave me just one step and now here I am a’running
One word set sail from your throat was just enough for me to float
Alone into an empty sky
You can never see the world inside of me
And I can never know from where your spirit flows
Sleepwalk our sense, sleepwalk our sense
Feeling for the lover’s hex
Surrendering, surrender it
Stop overthinking
And embrace the space

Hideaway
04:42
|

Hideaway
Escape the light of day
Open up the door and let your conscience stray
Come along, let’s go
Without me you’ll never know
Where the mind resides and what it is
I can show you love
Sublimate the stars above
I can show you god in a pile of twigs
So come along
Hideaway
Escape the light of day
Open up the door and let your conscience stray
Unfurl this world
Mine the lies and smooth the burls
Let the poison seep in where you’re stung
The serpent eats its tail
Consume me and lift the veil
The vacant page is filled dissolved on tongues
So open up
Hideaway
Escape the lies today
Open up the door and let your conscience stray
Untie your mind
Inner-space expanding beyond mortal rind
And sacrifice
Hideaway
Escape your life today
Open up the door and let your self decay
Hideaway
Escape the light of day
Open up the door and let your conscience stray

How’s this hook taste in your mouth?
Did you swallow it whole?
Can that price tag that you’ve got
Conceal the hole in your soul?
How many selfies can you take
To disprove that you’re fake?
I’m lost
What’s your teleprompter read?
Did it tell you who to be?
Chasing followers
Livin’ vicariously
I’m sorry you took the bait
From that mind-control magnate
I’m very lost
Oooh la la la la lost
Don’t ask us what it cost
To sell our souls
Oooh la la la la lost
Don’t ask us what it cost
To sell our souls
Because they were stole
Ooh everybody wants to have it all
But they’ll never know, they’ll never know
What it’s all for
Headless they’re chasing plastic dreams
But it’s only a cloud, it’s only a cloud supreme
Have you swiped at your veins
Green and hollow
With that mastercard blade
To find the dollars you’ve swallowed
I bet you cut morality
From mortality and you’re lost
You’re very, very lost
Ooh everybody wants to have it all
But they’ll never know, they’ll never know
What it’s all for
Headless they’re chasing plastic dreams
But it’s only a cloud, it’s only a cloud supreme
Everybody’s getting some, yeah everybody wants some
Everybody’s getting some, yeah everybody wants some
Everybody’s getting some, yeah everybody wants some
Everybody’s getting some, yeah everybody wants some
Well have you swiped at your veins, have you swiped your green veins
Have you swiped at your veins, have you swiped your green veins huh?

The Dreaming
03:19
|

Oh, the May Queen’s disrobing in the gorge
Where the vespers of cloudbursts converge
She’s singing a sonnet swaying dreams
For the seeds of the past to be redeemed
She’s not waiting on you nor me
Her fire is finally free
And dancing on streams into our lungs
The queen's transmutation begun
Donating her boreal tithe
For the lotus eaters now are revived
She’s not waiting on you nor me
Her fire is finally free
Oh but how long will she last
Naked, pale, unabashed
Does she know her destiny
The curse of entropy
But for now the stones are smooth
What the babbling brook says soothes
It moves
And it skews
To confuse
The May Queen’s disrobing in the gorge
She’s coming undone she’s on the verge
Of dissolving like salt into the ebb
Loosening sutures of cobwebs
She’s not waiting on you nor me
Her fire is finally free
And burning the ground beneath our feet
The birds flying higher in the heat
Balance restored at last
To the Queen we raise our glass
She’s not waiting on you nor me
She’s not waiting for us to see
She’s not waiting on you nor me
Her fire is finally free
Free...

Liftoff and I’m lost
Alien landscape taking my place…
Liftoff and I’m lost
Alien landscape taking my place
Inertia’s destiny, life support is failing me
500 kelvin, inhospitable heaven
Last chance, no choice
The red dust is glowing, new eyes growing
Poison-siren’s prey, demon planet summoning
Alien landscape taking my place now
No footprints here no breath of creation
Just pools of liquid silver tinted
Reflecting a presence umbra
Of shared memories and memetic energy
Reaching out into the pool-borne
Mirror creatures sinking deeper
Planetary duality, what’s left of me
More than molecules shifting in the whirlpool
Instincts, sound, and heat, false memories
All I’ve ever been
Adaptation awakened through duplication
In my blood, it’s in my blood
Silver
It’s inside, inside
Collide and divide, collide and divide
It’s inside, inside
Alive
Implanted cognizance
How many moon turns since
I was born of silver’s touch
Decohesion atoms thinned
Subspace radiation
Loosening my bioformed skin off
Planetary duality, what’s left of me
More than molecules shifting in the whirlpool
Instincts, sound, and heat, false memories
All I’ve ever been
Adaptation awakened through duplication
In my blood, it’s in my blood
Silver
I spilled the silver
Silverblood
Planetary duality, what’s left of me
More than molecules shifting in the whirlpool
Instincts, sound, and heat, false memories
All I’ve ever been
Adaptation awakened through duplication
In my blood, it’s in my blood
Silver
Speak to me my lord in evanescent melodies
That I lose like sand through fingers
If times is but a whisper and all my light is energy
I’m a flickering hollow reverie
That captivates their sight behind the faded lines where our songs will go
To join in with the lost souls
Our time is but a whisper, endeavors like a shiver cold
So won’t you tell me
Who am I to you, who am I to you?
Tell me who I’m going to be
Who am I to you, who am I to you?
Won’t you tell me
And is it my hands that play these chords
Or are they yours?
