Beautiful World
03:31
|

Beautiful world
With all its many inconsistencies
Beautiful world
And I let it pass me by
All that space is frightening
So I locked myself in my room
Beautiful world
And how I chose to let it fade away
Beautiful world
I did not deserve your grace
Your mercy and patient voice
So I locked myself in my room
Beautiful world
The love it gives you can’t reciprocate
Beautiful world
You are always lesser than
What’s the point of living it
You should lock yourself in your room

Vulgar Queen
03:38
|
|||
Out of the darkness
Into the opulent the
Fingers are ready
Stroking some lines upon the
Vulgar Queen
Praising the filthy
Purging the mediocre
Forgeries fallen
All is authentic with the
Vulgar Queen
Drunk in the alley
There goes the dumpster lady
Screaming at pigeons
Those are her patrons it’s the
Vulgar Queen
She is your mother
She is creation’s folly
Raising her children
Waxing umbilical the
Vulgar Queen

The Dreamed
04:11
|
|||
Who is the dreamer and who’s the dreamed
Who are the ones that remain unseen
Absent from reality
If I am one of them will your dream of me
All the specters will cry from the land of naught
Doomed to inhabit the thoughts unthought
Praying for atomic form
Wanting any sensation if cold or warm
There is no way to know whether we all exist
Or if we are just specks in ethereal mist
But we live like we’re real and the consequences
Of our actions will affect the nature of
Our universal sense of looming dread
That we’re the nothingness of an eternal sleep
None of our memories meant to keep
All in someone else’s head
Never truly alive but the heedless dead
Although transient realms of the world perceived
Mean that we have all just been deceived
Thinking that our reveries
Are the evidence of actualities
Just because we can dream doesn’t mean we are real
And our certainty that what we touch we can feel
Could be simulations governed by outside hands
That manipulate with sheer malevolence for
All the puppets with their brittle strands
Dancing in step for a mortal god
Doesn’t that strike you as sort of odd
Living in complicity
With the forced movements of choreography
Even though this could be fabricated time
I will proceed as if what is mine
Is the only thing that’s true
So when I go to sleep I will dream of you

No Identity
05:25
|
|||
There is no identity
There is no fixed personhood
Just a crass corporeal
Structure of a thought
That is you
All that is true
What can you do
You attempt control of it
You can practice mindfulness
Hope to disassociate
From the burden of
Your desire
What you acquire
Is just a liar
Speaking in tongues
Parroting language in your lungs
But your blessed ignorance
Lets you sense a source of will
The illusion of a spark
That comprises shards
Of a soul
Not quite a whole
But that’s the goal
You will never unify
Doesn’t matter if you’re close
There is always space between
The atomic tics
In your mind
You’ll never find
Forever blind
Watching it back
All of your memories in black
I have sworn a thousand time
That the vision of myself
Is a picture of the real
But the doubting voices
Prevail
Images fail
They’re just too frail
And the source of happiness
Splitting individuals
Pairing souls of disparate
Origins into
The sublime
Unions in time
Force them to rhyme
But they don’t fit
And you have wasted all of it

Alone
03:48
|
|||
Alone
Alone
We live and die alone
Afraid
Afraid
We’re made to be afraid
But there’s hope
Only brief
Grasping for a sense of relief
No more rest
Only toil
Till we leave ourselves to the soil
Unborn
Unborn
I long to be unborn
Apart
Apart
I want it torn apart
Merciful
Thantos
Beckons me to embrace her close
To return
To the womb
Let her body become my tomb
Alive
Alive
The horror comes alive
Undead
Undead
I need to be undead
Rotting flesh
Will decay
Maybe then I won’t feel this way
Until then
I will wait
For escape from this separate fate

Psychic Feedback
04:55
|
|||
Screaming thoughts
Suffering that seems like only I can hear
But I know that hurt is always universal in its
Ambience
And I know all of you can it too
But it’s always there
In my head
Wish that I could just remove it
So silence
Could take me
Away
And I can’t
Can’t ignore the constant chattering of doubt
Even though I’ve tried so many operations meant to
Exorcise
Hopeless ghosts from the corners of my mind
Whispering to me
We’re still here
Trauma goes on till forever
But still my
Delusions
Will say
Don’t let psychic feedback consume you
Carry on
Try to let in the love
But its not enough
Futility reigns supreme
Taking life
Obstinate
I refuse to try and right my many faults
In this way I have some meager apprehension of my
Willfulness
If I choose to embrace the screaming thoughts
So I let them come
Wrap around
And constrict me with their comfort
But still those
Delusions
Will say
Don’t let psychic feedback consume you
Carry on
Try to let in the love
But its not enough
Futility reigns supreme
Taking life
Don’t let psychic feedback consume you
Carry on
Try to let in the love
But its not enough
Futility reigns supreme
Taking life

Black Hole
03:38
|
|||
Black hole sucking up the
Last soul in the galaxy
Leaving nothing to spread its entropy
Leaving nothing not even memories
No life to transform energy
And I’m ready to see the
Black hole shattering the
Glass bowl of our little earth
Looking outside a consequence of birth
Looking outside a cage for what it’s worth
Escape discorporate with mirth
Feeling better as dirt the
Breakdown to atomic dust is why I try to attempt justify
Sloth and general inaction
‘Cause I know attraction
To the well of fat will come some wondrous date the
Black hole makes me want to
Lack goals progress is a myth
Evolution is just a shameless grift
Evolution will fall into the rift
There is no magic monolith
Made to edit the gift the
Black hole forces me to
Act cold even though I need
A relation unto the human breed
A relation which means that I’ll be freed
From though or any sort of creed
I’d be happy and we’d go
Sailing through the endless void And never bicker or get annoyed at each
Other but our time together
Surely will endeavor
To deplete the knowledge gained from the discreet
Black hole density and
Mass old stars that die with spite
On the surface disturbing all the light
On the surface and oceanic night
The truth an omnipresent plight
To desire delight the
Black hole shimmering with
Fractals and the secret source
Of all being as nature takes its course
Of all being the elemental force
Will make the universe divorced
From all hope of remorse

Forgiven
04:21
|
|||
All will be forgiven
If you seek redemption
All sins and transgressions will be
Washed away in time
It’s a lie
It persists
Because we’re weak
We can’t admit
The truth to ourselves
So we say
All will be forgiven
Through our benedictions
Some equation lets us
Understand our bodies’ worth
But the math
Is obscured
Despite our work
Unknown unbound
The stars will defy
Our desire
All will be forgiven
Even for the wretched
Not in any heaven but
Inside the cold cold ground
So we wait
For the day
When we may pass
Into the grave
Then we will have love
Surround us

They’re coming to take you away
With bright yellow eyes fingers like needles
They’re coming to take you away
They’re coming to take every last little part of you
Shadows circling the room
Objects losing their integral physical
Qualities transcending space
They’re coming to take you away
They smile with sharp teeth grasping your shoulders
They’re coming to take you away
They’re coming to take what you thought was your body and
Floating nude in the cold
Ether trembling hastened with
Mindless eternity you disappear
They’re coming to take you away
They sharpen their orifice open
They’re coming to take you away
They’re coming to take all your arrogant notions of self
All your thoughts and all your delusions
And all the ruptured spirit intrusions
And all your joys and all your pretensions
And all the little spiral dimensions
And all your faith and all your derisions
And all the poorly rendered decisions
And all your doubt and all your corruption
And all your brutal failed seductions
Will cease and you’ll be at ease
Living without your pointless fears
I wonder how this non-existence’s non-materiality
Will appear to someone like yourself who’s a corporeal entity
And all your pride and all your tomorrows
And all the precious time that you borrowed
And all your debts and all your aggressions
And all the shameful carnal obsessions
And all your hate and all your disguises
And all the schemes your conscience devises
And all your cells and all your intestines
And all the big unsettling questions
Will cease and you’ll be at ease
Living without your pointless fears
I wonder how this non-existence’s non-materiality
Will appear to someone like yourself who’s a corporeal entity
I wonder how this non-existence’s non-materiality
Will appear to someone like yourself who’s a corporeal entity
I don’t know what you’ll even see
I don’t know what you’ll even be
A nothing
Maybe a something
Maybe a spirit
Maybe a thing in between
They’re coming to take you away
They’re reaching for you arms elongated
They’re coming to take you away
They’re coming to take what you’ve taken for granted they
Tear off all of your skin
Gently rending the muscle the fat and the
Bone and the marrow and blood
They’re coming to take you away
How lucky you’ll be when you are with them
They’re coming to take you away
They’re coming to take all the pain and the pleasure away
