Deep in the ground, I am breathing
Tendons extending to the molten core of the earth like roots
Your amaranthine gaze falls upon me
Time and space freeze and spontaneously bloom
The finest light could never reveal the softness with which you hold me
Better a symphony
Better an apocalypse
ø
ø
And he floats above the earth, a spectre
Soil to dust and roots to ash
Destroy, divine destroyer!
Destroy, oh destroy!
The seasons shift with the angle of your glance
Laws of nature rendered frozen in your path
From where have you come?
You ruin us with dearth and famine
Yet you cradle us like a child
More than anything else that lives and breathes and calls our name
Patron saint of the void
Oh terror!
Oh exuvium!
Destroy!
Destroy!
Destroy!

Burn the saints inside you
Leave their bones behind you
Turn all your warnings inside out
Spit them like soil from your mouth
ø
ø
Burn the saints inside you
Leave their bones behind you
Burn in rage, oh lion!
Storm the gates of Zion!
ø
ø
Burn the saints inside you
Leave their bones behind you
Burn in rage, oh lion
Storm the gates of Zion

And I fell like lightning from the sky
I was lost
Ribbons in the void
I looked up at the blackness around me and realized it was everything I had feared since I was a boy.
Day star, son of dawn
Where is redemption?
I got on my knees that night to pray and saw you in a vision
Your face shrouded,
foreboding,
brilliant and beautiful
The blackness seemed to pour in through my eyes as you walked towards me
You came close, and whispered my name
Abbadon
Abbadon
Abbadon

I feel myself unraveling
Suspended and strange
Listen. No matter what you see here, no matter what erupts from my depths, no matter what ruin comes of us, promise me…
Promise me when you sleep, when you dream of me… it will be in colors of white.

I’m falling against your grace
Folding inside your love
You never reveal your face
Cold in a silent blood
ø
In my dreams
I’m swallowing your eyes and mouth
Your sibilance like strings untied
This isn’t feeling right, it never was
I don’t even need this
I hope you can see it
I’m dying to leave this world behind
You peel with a purpose
You love who deserves it
Been holding the kill switch to my mind
All along

DATURA [paroxysm]
03:35
|
|||
I see the birth and death of the universe swimming around in your eyes
Datura yellow gazing through my mind
Datura yellow gazing through my mind
Datura yellow gazing through my mind
Datura yellow gazing through my mind
Datura yellow gazing through my mind
A p-p-purring with it’s poison should I let it lay or p-p-pluck and pulling down a willing throat
To lead me to the place where I have shattered
Ooooo
A question that I find is harmless
But at night it seeps in through my eyes
Arresting and caressing every fold and strand I leave to loose
I feel it pull and I unravel
Oooo
Slither through my soil
Oooo
Bring me to a boil
Oooo
Feel my atoms rising
Oooo
Terminal velocity
I see the birth and death of the universe swimming around in her eyes
Eternal monoliths of storms past
You have my attention.
Haunt me in all of your ways.
I see her fingers bending backwards twist and turn and tie themselves together
Beckoning behind her back with fingers dripping rainbow puddles singing to me “come and drink of many waters”
Oh God I am dissolving disapperating folding flying feeling every color swarming
slipping past my skin like snakes they hear me waiting
Skin abuzz with weight under their gravitation
I see her fingers bending backwards twist and turn and tie themselves together
Beckoning behind her back with fingers dripping rainbow puddles singing to me “come and drink of many waters”
Sings “I’ll look into the wind I’ll look into the flame I’ll dig into the earth and swallow it again
I’ll find you in the safe and quiet place inside your mind and expose all the beauty in your terror”
The void is awaking
Creating, degrading
Eternal, unfading
The siren is waiting
The void is awaking
Creating, degrading
Eternal, unfading
The siren is waiting

[the veil, eternal]

I saw you last night, you know.
In the backyard, staring up into the trees
Who were you talking to?
Was it her again?
Was she crying?

I breathe you in like smoke and water in a crowded room
Dark liquor and bad vibrations, baby
All I need is you
ø
ø
Pull me
Blackhole,
You know you’ve always wanted to be the darkness I’m not
Hurt me
I’m close to the edge and I’ve been holding my breath for so long
ø
ø
I breathe you in like smoke and water in a crowded room
Dark liquor and bad vibrations, baby
All I need is you
ø
ø
Hit me
Thick rain, a rolling boiling deluge
Like everything that I want
Fear me
I’m set to destroy and you’re fit to be the prey that I hunt
Sink down into this holy soil
Keep spiraling into my void
Drip on me with your bloody smile
A communion of the sickest kind
ø
ø
I breathe you in like smoke and water in a crowded room
Dark liquor and bad vibrations, baby
All I need is you

THE LAZARUS OF WESTLAKE
03:43
|

No survivor
And nothing survived
I touch the souls of dead men
Here from my forgotten life
Wrap me tight in these swaddling clothes
The newly born savior
King and lord of the void
ø
ø
And the red sea is parting now
I’m trying to save this but I don’t know how
Tongues of angels suspended in time
A forgotten voice deep inside
ø
ø
And though we’re touching skin to skin
Laying in threads of gold
You softly whisper in my ear
“Darling you’re still alone.”
Butterflies of white and grey
Rustling up silent storms
“Darling you’re still alone.”
“Darling you’re still alone.”
“Darling you’re still alone.”

Your heart is torturing me
A thousand miles an hour again
And all that stays with me
Is the fear inside my gut
You’re the fear inside my gut
You’ve been my reason to breathe
The gravity that pulls me in
I can’t escape the weight
Of your ultraviolent heart
Of your ultraviolent heart
I’ve been splintering apart
Breaking open from the start
Gates of heaven are closing
What did you do in my head?
Weren’t you laying in my bed,
Telling me I was chosen?
Now I don’t even know you and that’s the best part of it
All I know
You’re the only thing that I see in color
This heart is torturing me
The only pain I understand
I can’t escape the weight
Of your ultraviolent heart
It’s a poison in my gut
I’ve been splintering apart
Breaking open from the start
Gates of heaven are closing
What did you do in my head?
Weren’t you laying in my bed,
Telling me I was chosen?
Now I don’t even know you and that’s the best part of it
All I know
You’re the only thing that I see in color
This heart is torturing me
The only pain I understand
I can’t escape the weight
Of your ultraviolent heart
It’s a poison in my gut
You’re the only thing that I see in color

A thousand lines throughout your body
I’ll eat you
bit
by
bit
From the inside
My finest prize
My hara-kiri
Exuvium
Exuvium
Exuvium
ø
ø
No exquisite pleasure feels like
The amaranthine gaze in your eyes
Spasmodic womb and trembling child
Lay waste to everything with your light
ø
ø
What is your soul made of?
Beauty
And what is beauty?
Terror
ø
ø
Exuvium…
Exuvium…
Exuvium…
Exuvium…

Last night I woke up and saw you again
Suspended, as you so often are, three feet above me, staring down and… simmering
Fingers wet and glistening, your eyes static and void
You part your lips and all at once I’m filled with a vast sense of space and incredible saturation
Bestial pangs paired with syrupy weightlessness
My body floating up slowly towards your beckoning fingers
I thought we promised to be honest with each other…
when were you going to tell me you’d become the reaper?

FAR LIGHT
07:39
|
|||
Pass overhead
I’ve forgotten what’s it like
To feel weightlessness, my strings untied
My arms are long
Strong enough for flight
But can they push away this heavy silence?
ø
ø
But maybe if you're tongue-tied I could walk you through it all
Find you in the lowlight
Fight your battles through this war
Broken on my doorstep
You were falling through the seams
Breaking every finger
Thinking it would make you clean
ø
ø
And I know
In the far light
In the lightning
There are pieces of myself
You’re setting off
You’re setting off
I’m frail
And I’m poured out
But I told you
There are parts you’ll never see
And they’re aligning in the stars
[the stars, the stars, the stars, the stars]
ø
ø
Pass over my head
With your wings extended wide
I can taste the way you terrify me
Grow towards the sun
Leave me far behind
Till you extend into this pale horizon
ø
ø
But maybe if I’m tongue tied you could walk me through it all
Find me in the low light, let your body break my walls
I’ll be on your doorstep sorting through my empty dreams
Breaking every finger praying that it makes me clean
ø
ø
And I know
In the far light
In the lightning
There are pieces of myself
You’re setting off
You’re setting off
I’m frail
And I’m poured out
But I told you
There are parts you’ll never see
They’re all aligning in the stars
[the stars, the stars, the stars, the stars]
ø
ø
Maybe if you take time, we could still escape this place
Our pearly gates are burning and yet somehow fire feels so safe
If I told you jump now, would you let it all erase?
Join me in the far light, blooming in a fiery blaze
