Evening sun to fade
Like any other day
Stripped of breath, he shows me a
Picture of mother beside me
Motionless, she stands in blue
Leaving me captivated
Tell myself she's long gone
The past's not here to stay
Luminescent delusion
Wither away, have her erased
Weakening mistrust
A gathering of new glare
She is clear as day, but
Here I stand alone
Unable to see or touch
Vindicate myself
Tell myself she's long gone
The past's not here to stay
Luminescent delusion
Wither away, have her erased

Stand Still
07:30
|
|||
Twelve years gone by, blurred by light
A life synthesized by staring at screens
Incandescent; rid from 20/20
Vision; pictorial elision
Don't move again, don't move again
Stand still
Can’t see what they see
Unknown tapestries
All within these frames
Strange, yet so acclaimed
Silhouettes dance with
Marionettes, stringless
Ocular bliss
(Petrified)
Cryptic from the electric
Panic within
Confronted, invalid and dismayed
Light on my feet, but dragging
My heart is my smoking gun
End verity
Ce n’est pas la vie
Grip your faith and you may see now
It only means of letting go
Each one their own apostle
Corruption leads to vertigo
The shepherd counts their sheep circling
Ingenuous and obedient
But the real shepherd, nowhere to be found
The one who thought, now giving in
Pigment what looks blank
Euphoric playback
Ease my mind for now
Shut eyes see somehow
Hopeful to concede
A sad anomaly
Backtrack to find
(Present day)
Silhouettes dance with
Marionettes, stringless
The seasons change in just a blink of an eye
Crawling slowly
Don’t you know my limits, for I can’t trust a cynic
Out of me
Impossible, this carnival; a colorful fulfillment
Dim-lit chambers repressed
Suppress grief foreseen
Don't move again
Can’t see what they see
Unknown tapestries
All within these frames
Strange, yet so acclaimed
Hopeful to concede
A sad anomaly
A show for, a show for
An audience of one

All
All my words
On carpet waves
I’ve almost dreamed it
Thoughts provoke
Downplay all my fears
Find relief
Turn my broken gears
Untethered cries
I wait for you
With scraped knees
How much will I recall
Of my birth and death?
Bookends infinity
I am what I’ve lost

The Warden

Father: "What?"
Jasper: "What happened to her?"
Father: "Not this again, are you joking? Get some help--"
Jasper: "Can’t you? You haven’t acknowledged me since she… she…"
Father: "Died? She’s dead. You’re having nightmares again."
Jasper: "They’re seeing her everywhere; they’re showing me--"
Father: "Whose they?"
Jasper: "Everyone!"
Father: "Call your uncle. Please, he can help you."
Jasper: "Are you sure?"
Father: "Just call him! I’m going back to sleep."
This splitting moment sends shivers down my spine
I’m aching all the time
Resonating impulse leaves me on the edge
(Remember what was said)
Remember what was said
The hand moves again, direction uncontrolled
Panic settles in tonight, as I wait
For dialtone
No response; the blindfold stays
Tell me how to relieve my loneliness
Her brother, a voice on the other end
"Forget you don’t know," he says
Just open the door
Let me in tonight
Weary tight knuckles
A man willing to help
Change my life in just one night
Breathless inhale
The door slowly opens
And a face is unveiled
And I know his eyes from mine
A place I can hide
Wake my eyes in sleepless night
She's passed on but seems to live outside my head
He hands me a glass in the evening's haze
Says, “If you can’t let go, then stay,
But your final breath can
Wait another night"
Melting fast in my chair in the room as I collapse
I’m told the things I want to hear until relapse
The ceiling spins, time has elapsed, calculate to navigate
Spaces burned in mind maps, losing touch of each synapse
Melting fast in my chair in the room, I collapse
I’m told the things I want to hear until I feel myself relapse
The ceiling spins, time has elapsed, I calculate and navigate
The spaces burned in my mind maps, I’m losing touch of each synapse
Melting fast in my chair in the room, I collapse
I’m told the things I want to hear until I feel myself relapse
The ceiling spins, time has elapsed, calculate to navigate
Spaces burned in my mind maps, I'm losing touch of each synapse
I'm melting fast in my chair in the room as I collapse
I’m told the things I want to hear until I relapse
All these secrets, uncage their light
With damage done, wish for hindsight
This testament, blocked by lock and key
Electric hallways, work to compute me
Compute me
Eyes closed shut, see a world renewed
Yet sound asleep steers away from the truth
Bleary eyes make out his wicked grin
Frays of the seat hook to my skin
Just wake me up
Set me free tonight

Spliced Skies
07:02
|

Inside white light
I open my eyes
These walls close in
Tease my static limbs
Things incapable to reach
Engulfed in memories
My mind brings me to
Days before cries
She’s standing in the doorway
Dress flows of spliced skies
Close-knit kin, perceived a sin
Beholds unmarked hands
Attention drifts through me
A window here, left in pain
In pain
My mind brings me right back to
Days before cries
She’s standing still in the doorway
Dress flows of spliced skies
Fades away tonight

Tilt
04:38

Waning thoughts antiquated
From this forced rendezvous
Read between contentious lines
I'll trust; remove the portière
Outside, in
Refined
But just the same to them
Each is a new
Perception, I'm drawn to
Places where
Vacancies awake
Pointing in blank direction
Waiting for absent poses
Stand to take a thousand words
Submerged in something much less
Outside, in
Refined
But just the same to them
Each is a new
Perception, I'm drawn to
Places where
Vacancies awake
Outside, in
Refined
But just the same to them
Each is a new
Perception, I'm drawn to
Places where
Vacancies awake

Oculus

The Warden: "Patients, listen
Time to take your morning pill
Your day starts with a goal
Together, we will make it great
See your friends, your loved ones
They're all here to make you better
After all, you're not at all peculiar,
Just in different phases of the process..."
Light exposed from dreams
Available
A named reclaimed
My name is Oculus
You're closing holes in the walls
We spiral on out
With verbal remedy
Grasping at straws in an act
To justify
Death descried
Focus in
Animate to assimilate
False gravitation, which has spun
A webbed trick eyes overcome
I heal alone, eclipsed from truth
In white walls built to subdue
Victim of a cruel trick
I trusted all who were involved
Victim of a painful whit
She's not there; she never was
Dark rooms in our own minds
A black box, just for their eyes
You're closing holes in the walls
We spiral on out
With verbal remedy
Grasping at straws in an act
To justify
Death descried
We recollect

Infinite Step

Morning sun to rise
Far from another ordinary day
Open these doors and bring a
Myriad of white suits
Confirm a conspiracy
To clear this tragic story
And you'll believe, then I can breathe
It's what we need; let's breed this closure
All these secrets, uncage their light
With damage done, wishing for hindsight
Unseen testament, like clockwork, gone
Leaving me alone, or am I just welcomed home?
No one is here
Thoughts misaligned
Forgive, forget
Lies through a camera eye
Fabricate, proliferate
She rots six feet down below
Jail me in fantasy
Smash the screens
The truth will set me free
Lie, eye through an eye
Silence my pride
Tie down the lie
Fooled absentee
Strewn blasphemy
Host all of me
Morning sun
To rise far from
Drawn to kill
The glass is curved a little more
Looking for obsolete paths
To so-called conclusions
Clarity can be quickly reached
By stepping in
Infinitely closer
All these secrets, uncage their light
With damage done, wishing for hindsight
Unseen testament, like clockwork, gone
Leaving me alone, or am I just welcomed...
All these secrets, uncage their light
With damage done, wishing for hindsight
Why won’t you believe me?
Why must you deceive me?
Blind by fantasy
Yields reality
Outside, in
Out, inside
Inside, out
Outside, in
In, outside
Inside, out
Outside, in
Refined
Just the same to them
Spaces where each is
Outside, in
Refined
