Reaching out across some barren wasteland
The arid field of your mind
Could end the drought?
Reveal the treasure
I see the flood growing wide
Brought me again to the gates of Al-Khazneh
Sinking in, drinking the colour of the crags…
In a spell I sat and rose through quicksand
I couldn’t run from your ire
My words were weakened, brittle as brimstone
From a stream running dry
But I emerge at those vivid vibrant gates
Drinking the cool, revitalizing petrichor
Break free again, crested and crashed upon the shore
I breathe again…
I breathe again…
I breathe again…
I’m free again…

Strange Hallucinations

I’ve been swept into a pale illusion again
Dealing with you, Pasithee, yeah I should have known better
You crept up and hit me like a strong dose
If I were immortal you could induce me forever
I’ll see what I want to
Love’s blind
Select a fabrication
And you and I’ll
Make strange hallucinations
Come Alive
Baby if this isn’t real then I don’t want to know
I’ve been swept into a pale illusion again
Dealing with you, Pasithee, yeah I should have known better
You crept up and hit me like a strong dose
If I were immortal you could induce me forever
I’ll see what I want to
Love’s blind
Select a fabrication
And you and I’ll
Make strange hallucinations
Come Alive
Baby if this isn’t real then I don’t want to know
Yeah, if I’m living a lie, then damn, I hate the truth
Maybe it’s all in my head, this feeling’s just for show
Baby if this isn’t real then I don’t want to know…

Ghost Step

Color fades out of every shade of gray
I feel you in the walls and empty rooms,
Hear you calling
Passion played us both with our tapes decayed
Our love was analog
In a digital age
This moment’s holding the answer from me
Slow degrade
I find you on a cold blank page
Our echoes filled the halls
Now only silence seems to reign
Visions play in time with all of our mistakes
But if we tried again, we’d do it all, all the same
This moment’s holding each of us frozen
While we wait for
This moment’s holding each of us frozen
While we wait for
This moment holding each of us frozen

Aliens Among Us
04:32

And suddenly the world was made dark again.
And all the silhouettes and shadows cast from the ships in the sky lorded over the land.
Moon beings from the Netherverse cast their cool gray light through the heart of humankind and bestowed unto them singularity.
Beginning.
They were but infants, still crawling on all fours.
Breastfeeders, thumbsuckers, first steppers
Convinced that they were grown and whole, rulers of the universe
But the children of the moon heed no illusions.
They demand only accountability and offer only enlightenment.
So they pruned the branches of the lost race.
They watered until what was lifeless and frail became sentient and sure.
The great watchers in the sky swung low their scythe over all and harvested their long-sought fruit:
Universal awareness
And so self-realization resubmerged the entirety of reality back down into the timeless, spaceless underbelly of the void.
The flames of consciousness burned low down to smoldering embers, soon to be swallowed by the long night, where there is no thought,
No strangers,
No voice,
No knowledge,
No seeing,
No breathing.
Just being.
Just being.
Just being...
