To Drink The Sea
04:52
|
|||
Many years I've spent gazing
Down a well of uncertainty
Her color is black benthic silt
The substance which dissolves my being
A mother's warm numbing caress
A venomous maw consuming me
A symbiotic wound we've inflicted
I mirage I've chased so foolishly
And at the marrow of my being
Is a loathsome craving
To sleep in luxurious coffins
Until oblivion dawns on me
What setting sun have I been chasing
Waiting for shadows to blend
And light to fade
And words to lose all meaning
And even I feel this divorce
May be temporary
We all come home to rest eventually
And I was a mere fish
Who tried to drink the sea
To drown my woes by drowning me
To drown my woes by drowning me
But I have to swim against the tide
Even if it takes me

Spectral Blue
04:55
|
|||
The moon blazes
Through thick black branches
On obsidian pools
Silver ringing cold
I call for you darling
In foreign rooms
I long for your light
Spectral blue
My soul a burning star
Searching for you
The rarest thing to find
Is someone like you
Spectral blue
There is no fear or pain
Whenever I'm with you
Twin spirits collide
Spectral blue
Spectral blue
Spectral blue
I love the taste of your light
Your blue soul beside me

To Love
01:54
|
|||
In the blue light of the dawn
I woke up in tears
To not feel you here
I dreamt I held you
I only dream of you
And the sick feeling of your touch
My world is empty without you
Sunless without the light in my world
I want to love
I want to be loved
I have nothing
And I am all alone
And afraid of
A world without you
I feel your current everywhere
I know it is the truth
And I am terrified of you
Cause there's nothing I can do
I want to love
I want to be loved
Nothing's ever good enough
I want to love

Silver Fang
02:47
|
|
||
I've failed you
My hand cruel
And wrathful
In deed for you
I'm wounded by
The double blade
Fallen upon my sword
Harmed by my own rage
Your eyes afire
I love the taste
The vengeance of
Your silver fang
Give me your anger
Give me your rage
I will hide it all away
Inside my heart where it will stay
Unlike you I don't fear the pain
Failure always has a price to pay
I spare you alone
From the ruin I create
But will you spare me
From your silver fang

Bodied Being
03:15
|
|
||
Willful light
Shuddering lamb
Frail beauty
In a world of cruelty
A raven landed before me in a dream
And spoke a clear eyed prophecy
And gestured to the graves
Of the sick and of the dying
"These are my great works on earth,
The cost of human frailty."
I, the bodied being
Modest in what was given me
But the light inside me
Shines everlasting
Fear not little lamb
For you are just like me
Immortal beings
With afflictions of the body
You are perfect light
Unhindered by physicality
Feel my love
For we will know peace

Heal This Broken World
02:51
|
|
||
A rift in mother earth
A steaming chasm
Bleeding torn open
Horizon to horizon
Her blue veined rivers
Her fishless oceans
All of her creatures
Sick and dying
All of her forests
Sparse and barren
How cruel we have been
How grave is our sin
Heal this broken world
Heal ourselves within
