Emergence Tremens

A constant banging seems to be saying
Up and leave it, throw it away
No need for control, you’re locked inside a hole
Through which light won’t pass until the nick of time
The nick of everything
They’re scheming somewhere,
I’m under siege they’re heaving up new ends to the surface life
No defenses
Just need to curb this dread of the surface
On and on and on again
Be my guide through common sense
Passage floods with dread again
A menace not there
Has fixed its crosshair
At my head and won’t say why
But I know the reason
But I awaken, I’m rising steady
And finally ready to escape in the nick of time
merging everything
Path to dark, overgrown
But can I make it on my own
I guess we’ll never know
You and me
Running away from time, away from story
Rescue me
Get me away from pride, temporary
You and me
Together we'll beat this plight, no surrender
Or truth will hit
Crumble my wall of doubt just in time
To view in full my own hypocrisy

All of Me
02:47
|

All of me is oddity trapped in agreement endlessly
Off of route, call for help, is choked it’s all so plain to see
At every length with all my strength I beat the wall so hastily
Caked in earth, away from birth, doused and robbed of agency
Seems all of me, did not agree at night laments inaudibly
When I arrive I’m trembling I beat the wall with all my being
With faith that these descending steps will lead me where I need to be
Love and hate cannot equate feel them fade to memory
Could it be that after all these spiral stairs of mine know where
The past has gone, emerged and all
And all of me caught unaware
I wonder where we would belong, these spiral stairs of mine know where
The past long gone emerged in all but all is here instead of there

Doomed Things
03:21
|
|||
People breaking out and in
Cycle ends repeats again
Safe to say they’re running from something
Probably from nothing
Weaving toxic memories
Out of mind I’m out of me
Safe to say I’m running from something
Probably from nothing
Please someone give me peace of mind
It can’t be so, we all know
They lie they lie
In heaps of ash and ember
This is it then farewell bid them
At the edge can’t manage
Swept uprooted pushed aside
Utter mayhem breaking loose
Given birth by pride abused
The irony is that during all this
The glow is enormous
After all is said and done
Hard to tell who’s really won
Safe to say I’m running from some hell
The one that’s within myself
Rolling everything lying in its path
How can I charge the next, I’m thwarted by the last
Another travel fettered, another rope to clutch
Struggle to the surface then they plunge in
Doomed Things lie in heaps of ash and ember
This is it then farewell bid them
At the edge can’t manage
Swept uprooted pushed aside
Gasping breathless can’t help it
Only choice, curl up and die

Smash to Pieces
04:14
|

Fit of passion ending as fit of languor starts
Thinking we couldn’t be more polar
Glee in my enclosure, dead when I step out
Flat out disgust is boiling over, bad is boiling over
They wanna know your secret, pain in head emaciated
To live so right but never like it
A simple life there’s nothing that’s more fucked, I’m idle growing old
Walls like these don’t hold, they smash to pieces
Open up your eyes now, they’re gonna tape them shut
Judgement is passed need no reminder
Gotta beat the timer, gotta beat it good
Don’t want the vain or modest either
Every fragment seething, preacher out of wits
Vowing to curse the non believer
But he looks so sickly
Pious clapping pagan laughing
Prop me up set me down,
I still won’t bow
might dream so right but never like it
A simple life there’s nothing that’s more fucked,
I’m idle growing old
Walls like these don’t hold, they smash to pieces.

Blind
02:49

Faking it, that’s how it goes here
Keep looking down there’s nothing to behold here
Remembering they wanna box you in
So fortified, we’ll make the front cause
It’s obviously not half of what it once was
Can’t wait for night, so over this design
It’s why I feel like going blind
One more thing won’t change my mind
Lie awake can’t seem to shake
Such simple things these oaths to break
Latent hits, come up to roll you
Will pair with doubt and try to pigeonhole you
Youth far away but close enough to pull you in
Misfirings hand cannons shot blind
Don’t lie to me supply the truth this one time
Can’t bare to play the role I was assigned
It’s why I feel like going blind
One more thing won’t change my mind
Lie awake can’t seem to shake
Such simple things these oaths to break
Faking I don’t wanna fake more
Thinking I don’t wanna think more
Counting sheep in mental uproar
Everything is changing
Faking I don’t wanna fake more
Thinking I don’t wanna think more
Counting sheep bound to get left behind
It’s why I feel like going blind
One more thing won’t change my mind
Lie awake can’t seem to shake
Such simple things these oaths to break

Catapult
03:08
|
|||
Another progress comes undone, another sense to hide from
Another urgency expelled
Avoid the ears escape the stare, no plan so I just stand there
Hoping all will up and fix itself
Cannonballs are falling everywhere
World ender catapults into the air
Leave this place and don’t return here
It’s coming on can’t stop it
Trudge through thicket into black, off course can’t find my way back
Deal is done why even try
But why’s this space so empty
No plan a slave to envy
I sit and gander grandeur passing by
Cannonballs are falling everywhere
World ender catapults into the air
Leave this place and don’t return here
Result is catastrophic
They see you smiling but
They’d rather see you fall
This simple life is the end of all
Cannonballs are falling everywhere
World ender catapults into nowhere
Leave this place get the fuck out of here
It’s coming on can’t stop it
Result is catastrophic
All feeling catapulted

In Blur
03:50

It stands by the door swung open
Holding in hand an omen
Licking the water off the ground
Pulling you in but slowly
Reaching and end but only when
All vanity gone no traces found
Roused from sleep in blur frenetic brain murmur directs me to a halt
Against all odds persist, scribble I don’t exist upon the concrete wall
Frozen in ugly picture
Feet on each side of fissure
Licking the water off the ground
Pulling you in it’s yanking
Seize it, it’s for the taking
The time has come you’d best strike now
Give it time, I might just heal this curse of mine
Look in the mirror close my eyes
Can’t recognize this face of mine
So disgusted
Will I make it out in time?
I swear one day I’ll rise above this farce so shameless and banal
I can’t mistake this hint, a similar handprint upon the fucking wall

Time
04:19

I’m seated in a worn out place
Catch a glimpse of a worn out face
Setting traps gonna fate the past away
Time, seated to the back of us
No gripes only ash and dust, we’re even
Son, quit your prying it’s a secret
Son, it’s a lie do you believe me
Believing
For the last time I will toe this line
Between two worlds this one and mine
I’m asleep at my origin
I feel the ardor of my kin
As it’s doused to make room for my escape
Time, seeded in the backs of us
No gripes in the ash and dusk, we’re even
