Suspended I: Can't Stay
01:59
|
|||
Dreaming
Leaving the boundary
See the constriction
Self affliction
Reliving
Youthful apprehension
I never felt at home
Vision set in stone
Suspended
Life invented
(Shining in distant rays
Dreaming of different days)
Unintended
Ephemeral atmosphere
I can’t stay here

Rain Falls Faster
04:39
|
|||
All alone
The night begins
All around
The light dances
On the road
As the rain falls faster
Could it be
Any other way?
As the sky pours its heart out to the earth
I am caught within it
Mesmerizing
My thoughts outshine the words
And preserve my spirit
As the rain falls faster
Staying out
Soaking it in
Timelessness
The sensation
On my skin
As the rain falls faster
If I’m free
This is where I’ll stay
As the sky pours its heart out to the earth
I am caught within it
Drenched
My thoughts outshine the words
And preserve my spirit
As the rain falls faster
I contemplate
The vast expanse above me
Beyond the gray
The sheltering canopy
The water strings as it hits my eyes
Guiding me back below the sky
As the sky pours its heart out to the earth
I am caught within it
Mesmerizing
My thoughts outshine the words
And preserve my spirit
As the rain falls faster

Absentia
03:27
|
|||
Color inside the lines
Other people define
Suffer over and over
Or follow your own design
What am I longing to find
Buried inside the mind?
There are no tracks in the brain
For this consciousness train
Too many questions
Not enough answers
Running away
Mark me as absent
Suffer within
I’m lost again
When you can’t win
It’s easier to take the plunge
I’m undone
Caught alone
Under the surface
Resting in shelter
Of solitary memories
Bury my feelings deep
Tired of running
I’d rather hide myself away
Pretending I don’t care about anything
Shutting out all the pain
Leaving the earth
Floating through the void in my mind
Going numb
Feeling content in this fortress I’ve made
I lock the door behind me and I fill the moat with my fears
Let them come surround me failing after all of these years
Their voices still around me but I finally covered my ears
Nothing left to remind me, nothing left for me here
Stop asking questions
Stop seeking answers
It’s easier this way
Living life passive
Suffer again
I’m lost within
My problems have changed
I’m feeling distant

Seethe
03:33
|
|||
Seething with thoughts of dissent
Seeking annihilation
Unseen unrest and hatred
Recede, recede, recede
Scenes echo endlessly
The dialogue disrupting (corrupting)
Essence burns in fumes of building rage unspent
Consume mind-will-body to the ego bent
Seethe with thoughts of dissent
Recede as the fire extends
Seethe with thoughts of dissent
Reflecting on what I resent
Cyclic catastrophe
Caught within its gravity
Centrifugal forces converging
Mental spiral unnerving
Concealing this revolt
Flashbacks feedback unto rot
Pressed on both sides
Pressure on the rise
Too late to undo this knot
Seethe with thoughts of dissent
Recede as the fire extends
Seethe with thoughts of dissent
Reflecting on what I resent
Seethe with thoughts of dissent
Recede as the fire extends
Seethe with thoughts of dissent
Reflecting on what I resent
Recede

Waking
Leaving the blur
Listless and perplexed
Lucid nonetheless
Reliving
Lifelong apprehension
A home never conceived
A place I’ll never leave
Suspended
Life unmended
(Hiding inside my head
Trying to lose the thread)
It’s time I tended
Embrace the mystery
All I can truly be

Tunnels
04:09
|
|||
Just the other morning
Through filmy waves of sleep
I heard grace softly weeping
Just beyond my reach
Buried in the pain beneath
The more I stop and listen
The more I feel their fear
Despite their dire condition
They hide their lonely tears
Biting into life with clenched teeth
I wait, I wonder
While angels withstand the grueling weight
Tell me why sorrow stalks the warm?
Their cries echo on the tunnel walls
A dark descent, hands extending through the keep
Unfathomed depths hinder tending grace unseen
No avail, death impending light condemned
Life will end discontent, helpless to help them
When I wake tomorrow, will I still hear their cries?
Will they still bare the burden, while I watch with glazed eyes?
Where is the remedy? Why such extremes?
It should be me in their place
Facing the gauntlet
Deafening screams
. . . . . .
No way to warm them
The angels lie dying dark and cold
Tracing the tired lines
Where they gave it all
Facing life alone
I wait, I wonder
While angels withstand the grueling weight
Tell me why sorrow stalks the warm?
Their cries echo on the tunnel walls

Waiting
03:04
|
|||
Fixating on a memory
Waiting
Validating a fallacy
Waiting
Speak
Be my clarity
Don’t leave me here
Flirting with my greatest fear
Speak
Show me who to be
Remember when you promised I’d be free?
Speak
Sing me a new melody
Every passing day
The silence grows
So I’ll just be
Waiting
In my fears
Waiting

Spiral
04:40
|
|||
I follow the circles
I drift through their hue
I drown in the details
I spin in pursuit
Days turn to years
Direction is gone
My senses surrender
The center breaks down
And I spiral
Fear in waves
Notionless
Shatter every intent
I summon
Fear engrained
In hopelessness
Sever every sense
As I spiral
Growing in distance
From hearing their sounds
Longing for solace
As darkness surrounds
Space unfamiliar
Clouded and cold
A past me in horror
For a future unknown
Fear in waves
Notionless
Shatter every intent
I summon
Fear engrained
In hopelessness
Sever every sense
As I spiral
Something else to follow
Waits for me to understand
A calm from far below
Reaching up with gentle hands
As I dissolve
My fears become a catalyst
A new resolve
To face this crushing emptiness
If I’ll abide (Breathe in)
Inhale, exhale, exist
Come out of hiding
And learn to harness the abyss
