Lazarus 03:40
lyrics
What will you do When you find me in my haunt And stroke my grey and stiffened skin Kiss my purple lips And pray to find my soul within When you see the lustre of your reflection lost From the surface of my steel blue eyes And hate the cowardice I concealed from you And know that you despised Of all the awful ways I've treated you It sickens me deep inside But you can never kill me I will always find a way to rise Just as surely as the sun comes to make the dawn My clotted blood will flow again My withered heart will beat again My bruised fingers will find their way Back around your neck My dying breath will find its way Back inside your breast I'm sorry for leaving I'll never do it again Mother I'm coming home I'll never hurt you again Mother I'm coming home I'll never hurt you again Mother take care of me I don't want to be alone Mother take care of me I don't want to be alone

Nowhere 03:37
lyrics
Going nowhere Treading water Drowning but I never Ever ever ever die Every day I wait for change But I know that I Will never leave this path That I have worn So tiresome and blind Where my hopes are litter My ambitions wither Far beneath the soles of my Beaten shoes and expectations Every day is disappointment A missed chance and a lie I tell to other people For a phantom of tomorrow A distant dream where I Have some control over my life Have some heartbreak and adventure And hard work I can be proud of Something that is mine And every night I pray For something that is mine And all I want is for all of this To be left behind

Ghost 04:08
lyrics
I'm invisible And I always will be At least I find comfort knowing That no one is looking back at me It's hard to be some one It's hard to be anything In this town that I'm haunting Through the years interminably I wish that I could disappear Beneath a curtain of senses vanishing And find freedom in oblivion's Blanket that will cover me Strangers hear my voice that echoes Through the ruins of my poverty Amidst the broken windows And crumbled concrete Despite myself I still wished That someone would have listened to me And find no shelter for my restless soul Nor vanishment to comfort me

The Grave Digger 05:23
lyrics
Lisa's grave calls to me In the cold dead winter night Her soft painted voice in my ear Tells me to come down For just a little while and sleep Under the frozen earth In the garden with her I get the shovel and a bottle Break the ground And claw my way down And hold her hair And brush the mouldered Worms from her vacant eyes Then kiss the dessicated Mouth of fear I'll be with you again down here Peel the sticky dress From the remnants of her skin And put my warm breath in her Hold her close Keep her as my own And for just one night Put some life in her

The Revenant Curse of New England 05:57
lyrics
I drank embalming fluid to stay alive Now I found myself six feet under Desperate to survive Some trickster drugged me Robbed me blind Left me in a rotting box of ill-design The trance wore off but I still find Fire in my veins this time Clawed myself out of a shallow grave To find cold air upon my face I see the moon pale and kind To light the way for me tonight But I was not alone so I did find Thirty open graves around my site Vagrant souls junkie corpses Fiending round for blood to find Some warm flesh for a blade To take back a life that's mine In the morn wandrin roun A sleepy-paranoid incest town I've got nine lives or so around Before I'll finally rest below the ground And you can't kill me Unless you burn the body But I know I won't go down Unless you drive a fucking stake through me I'll keep coming back stronger each time Because guess what bitches I'm still alive

about

Unlike my previous albums where I simply mimicked different genres of music, for this album I sought to combine them in ways which worked together, as well as branch out into new territory with the guitar techniques I learned while recording The Sphinx.

The result is a sprawling piece of sound-art that is ever changing and moving in and out of focus, much like how the mind perceives ideas or thoughts in dreams, at times murky and incomprehensible, and at other times with vivid detail, but always in flux and motion.

I spent about a month recording for this, the entire thing is built on top of one long, improvised piece of music made with 5 or 6 separate guitar tracks done in many tunings and played in many different ways.

On top of this, I placed the songs, as well as loops and samples I recorded myself, and gave every track on the album an even flow into the next.
