Let Me Rest
Wrapped restless in black linen
Only kiss warmth when I dream
Scrapbook, piece the beginning
We risk fraying at the seams
Embrace cold Armageddon
Like getting high off the fumes
Changed not for good, for rotten
Changed the layout of our tomb
Rain begets to play, beckons
Throwing stars at my window
Had my fill of your lessons
Let me rest among shadow.
Only kiss warmth when I dream
Scrapbook, piece the beginning
We risk fraying at the seams
Embrace cold Armageddon
Like getting high off the fumes
Changed not for good, for rotten
Changed the layout of our tomb
Rain begets to play, beckons
Throwing stars at my window
Had my fill of your lessons
Let me rest among shadow.

Should Have Let Me Drown
Found me out by the lake
Desire is so baseless
Poison tongue on my nape
Beware for I'm tasteless
Whimpers charmed by the blood
Lips coated in hatred
You won't stop but you should
I now know you need it
Excited in the dark
I draw blanks in the light
Life's a walk in the park
If everyone else died
I play fool at your feet
Just a duck in the row
I'll see my work complete
Finish, leave, let you go.
Desire is so baseless
Poison tongue on my nape
Beware for I'm tasteless
Whimpers charmed by the blood
Lips coated in hatred
You won't stop but you should
I now know you need it
Excited in the dark
I draw blanks in the light
Life's a walk in the park
If everyone else died
I play fool at your feet
Just a duck in the row
I'll see my work complete
Finish, leave, let you go.

Under New Residency
The door now splints apart
Chipping the soul again
Breaching the sheltered heart
Huff and puff, let me in
With the light burning young
We will not be the same
A new song has begun
The process of our name
Wipe away your demons
That wrote your epitaph
Born by indecision
Who you worship en masse
From those who are hated
To the loves you let rot
Kindness which is wasted
That will soon be forgot
Though our life will go on
I'll never be the same
With the wick snuffed and gone
Known...
Chipping the soul again
Breaching the sheltered heart
Huff and puff, let me in
With the light burning young
We will not be the same
A new song has begun
The process of our name
Wipe away your demons
That wrote your epitaph
Born by indecision
Who you worship en masse
From those who are hated
To the loves you let rot
Kindness which is wasted
That will soon be forgot
Though our life will go on
I'll never be the same
With the wick snuffed and gone
Known...

Magitech
The wiring I stole
Is speaking to me now
Hush please and just lay low
Do not let me be found
Reincarnate with rules
Plugged in every moment
Every face met, a tool
These systems failed, bloated
Erode, be sure to close
My clever familiar
Shed this shell, hiss betrothed
Encode myth in silver.

Visions Of Feast
I'm the child born in mystery
A star dwarfed by eternity
One day silence reached out to me
One day Winter raked in its leaves
I saw the snake vore history
Its jaws embraced all time to be
One day madness will covet me
I'll sate, splintered internally
I'm the seer of misery
A black kiss from the enemy
One day magic will fill the breeze
One day hunger is all you'll see
I have felt the ley lines twitch, teased
I will watch their castles stroke, bleed.
A star dwarfed by eternity
One day silence reached out to me
One day Winter raked in its leaves
I saw the snake vore history
Its jaws embraced all time to be
One day madness will covet me
I'll sate, splintered internally
I'm the seer of misery
A black kiss from the enemy
One day magic will fill the breeze
One day hunger is all you'll see
I have felt the ley lines twitch, teased
I will watch their castles stroke, bleed.

Punk Blues
Do you think that I
Control what's inside
Walking contradiction,
Fool of the mind
She is a mix of
Footloose and punk blues;
A criminal taste
Which subdues, smooth moves
Running from the tide,
Feelings multiplied
Mental competition,
Soul homicide
I'm a king of cadavers,
Cheap chatter
Fallen from the ladder
Cos nothing matters
No longer tongue-tied
But much more capsized
Pale in-completion,
Cognate override.
Control what's inside

Fool of the mind
She is a mix of
Footloose and punk blues;
A criminal taste
Which subdues, smooth moves
Running from the tide,

I'm a king of cadavers,
Cheap chatter
Fallen from the ladder
Cos nothing matters
No longer tongue-tied
But much more capsized
Pale in-completion,

Emergent
Nightmares
Rip through my boundaries
Spiraling and howling
Strip me down again
Eyes closed
Glide through the gallery
Empty and endow me
Steal away my hands
Black lights
Bury me like mountains
Crumble slow, forgotten
Who are we again?
Dreamers
Sipping from the fountain
What are we without it?
Holding your hand, your hands
Sleeping
Wake me to their heartbeat
Eject like a car seat
Barely fastened in.
Rip through my boundaries
Spiraling and howling
Strip me down again
Eyes closed
Glide through the gallery
Empty and endow me
Steal away my hands
Black lights
Bury me like mountains
Crumble slow, forgotten
Who are we again?
Dreamers
Sipping from the fountain
What are we without it?
Holding your hand, your hands
Sleeping
Wake me to their heartbeat
Eject like a car seat
Barely fastened in.

Python
The Night's my haven
I swim in her basin
Not wasting time
Just laying pavement
Trapped inside
Open wide I'm peaking,
Not just cyanide you're tasting
-What's that?
Sympathy?
You thought
Scratch that itch
To beg me;
Feeding bygones
To a python,
Moron
Who's sleeping with the light's on:
I'm coming at you live from the abyss.
I swim in her basin
Not wasting time
Just laying pavement
Trapped inside
Open wide I'm peaking,
Not just cyanide you're tasting
-What's that?
Sympathy?
You thought
Scratch that itch
To beg me;
Feeding bygones
To a python,
Moron
Who's sleeping with the light's on:
I'm coming at you live from the abyss.

Maso-Mechanism
Disconformity
My mind, a machine
My mind is a cage
A terrible thing they waste
Temporarily
I am your vessel,
Know I can't handle
When they bemuse, embrace me
Miss Understanding
I'm not used to love,
Light's in the attic
Flicker, stay, see their branding
Independently
The rain pours for sure
But it's been gory
Faint allure of sweet fury.
My mind, a machine

Independently

But it's been gory
Faint allure of sweet fury.

Somber Lights
In this seabed of latter
The venom of adders
Sifting my blood into ash
I'm a pirate of language
Like a wave that rages
Thieving treasures from the past
In the presence of thunder
Enchanted by wonders
I love what I can't transcend
I now rest among corpses
Self-imposed hypnosis
Writing like you're here again.
The venom of adders
Sifting my blood into ash
I'm a pirate of language
Like a wave that rages
Thieving treasures from the past
In the presence of thunder
Enchanted by wonders
I love what I can't transcend
I now rest among corpses
Self-imposed hypnosis
Writing like you're here again.

New Disease
Oh you like my soul
Well hey look I like it too
Cash consent, full access through
Chop me up to bits and then
Boost me up your recommends
Sure it's harrowing
Digitized we broadcast wide
Simulation in your mind,
Feeding you while feeling me
Donate to our new disease
Download endlessly
Cybernetic sympathies
Ripping off identities,
More of me in you than me
Like grand wildfire entropy.

Can't you think it's something?
Or can't you think at all?
All your hate for nothing,
All you hate is what you can't control
Do you think you're hurting?
Or do you care at all?
Are you just a broken soul
Swimming lost in the mold?
We yearn for passion
We hurt for suffering
So much for human
Another lesson
Can't you think it's something?
Or do you care at all?
So much for human,
Let them fall apart.
Or can't you think at all?
All your hate for nothing,
All you hate is what you can't control
Do you think you're hurting?
Or do you care at all?
Are you just a broken soul
Swimming lost in the mold?
We yearn for passion
We hurt for suffering
So much for human
Another lesson
Can't you think it's something?
Or do you care at all?
So much for human,
Let them fall apart.
