*****too long*****
shiver in this soundless din
of voices without words
waiting on things we've never known
breathe between electric walls
closing in upon the hours
of our enclosure
remain within this nascent dream
our song of newborn steel
subsiding in this rising tide
of beautiful decay
waiting on this moment
i'm opening my eyes
we're standing on the edge
like always
emerging from the fog of years
we've been waiting on this moment
with erudition petrified
immersed within this flowing stream
of our illusions
i can feel you near
(can you help me find some solid ground
on which to stand?)
i'm opening my eyes
we're standing on the edge
of all things
emerging from the fog of years
acid and ideals
burning in an ultraviolet cascade
falling like rain
upon tomorrow's seeds
waiting on this moment
we're waiting on this moment
we've been waiting on this moment
far too long.
*****where red flowers bloom*****
edging towards a setting sun
on prismatic seas of you
evening descends upon dialated eyes
swallowing horizons
in their velvet dark
drench me in dissolution
in places where red flowers bloom
beyond these twisted monuments
standing in supplication
idols to a cult, vampiric
lay lands where we may live
with infancies unknown
turn yourself towards me
and see
i'm not searching for anything
in these moments where we breathe
drench me in dissolution
in these moments where we breathe
impossibilities
in places where red flowers bloom
somewhere within you
lie lands where we may live
unafraid within our naked skin
turn yourself towards me
and see
i'm not searching for anything
in these moments where we breathe
impossibilities
crashing in waves against our hidden hollows
drench me in dissolution
in places where red flowers bloom
somewhere within you
as evening descends upon dialated eyes
swallowing horizons
in their velvet dark.
*****mirrors*****
i'm drowing in a thousand thoughts
wondering, "are they even mine?"
can we believe our ears?
can we believe our eyes?
reflections of us move
through an inverted world
devouring days
we can't feel anymore
disinformation blankets me
like a fog
malignant voices,
digital noise singing in dissonance
do you ever feel,
like none of this is real
except our burdens?
step right through
this broken mirror
into a new beyond
beyond the prayers
outside the dreams
beyond fears that bind us to our silence
standing, screaming
into a collapsing void
in days where fractured memories
and pieces of who we are
no longer stand like screens around us
what will we see?
walk on through
these broken mirrors
into a world outside
amidst the sounds of singing birds
and falling statues we will breathe
standing, screaming
into a collapsing void
did you ever feel like none of this was real?
do you still feel it?
*****lean(into me)*****
the burning edge of summer
is slipping into view
with you at the centre of every moment
and i can't wait to feel alive again
if only i could find the fire within me
why do we spend forever waiting,
for what we can't define?
as the sunlight slowly shifts
beyond our sight?
i don't know just what this should be like
but i can see you at the centre
of every moment
lean into me
in the shade of a thousand cherry trees
let me grow in wonder, anywhere you are
something is coming on the wings of dawn
can you see?
can you see me, now?
lean into me
in the shade of a thousand cherry trees
let me grow in wonder, anywhere you are.
*****breaths, like lead*****
sweltering within your shade
i breathe these breaths, like lead
wrapped in a heat
that burns through every dreaming word
that falls between us
silent to the shifting grass
that dances at our feet
we've spent ten thousand years
in this valley of frustrations
will you catch me as i fall
before the gates of you?
can we shed the pretense,
that this is who we are?
on the edge of exhiliration
speak to me in words, forbidden
dripping anticipations
always and forever, unrealized
we've spent ten thousand years
in this valley of frustrations
will you catch me as i fall
before the gates of you?
so tired, burdened with the guilt
of all we might have been
always and forever, unrealized
you are my always and forever, unrealized
will we remain always and forever
unrealized?
sweltering within your shade
i breathe these breaths,
like lead.
*****always and forever (a remix)*****
if you play this track at the same time
as "breaths, like lead" on a separate
audio system, you'll get some hecka
dark quadrophonic sounds.
