My memory fades in faceless blank rage No, I didn’t settle to stay, Still try to focus my gaze Mirage from the mirror to the broken glass it’s coming at me, approaching fast Can’t change my point of view to see what rings true Perished in the looking glass, a mask miming a fool In a pale reflection ruins growing vast See me drifting from the surge See me raise my empty glass Falling into a lifeless stance as I’ve been touched by lifelike hands Felt like real love to me, it felt so real In the mirror glass no room cut to fit an image for another taking my place Set to sail, got nowhere to hide I had to carry home but I’m anchored to be roamed Displaced anywhere in an impossible refuge Positions I never claimed I wish to overthrow Mirage from the mirror to the broken glass A four-cornered eye that doesn’t let me pass As walls closing in, got nowhere to be safe Do I see your false in me or just my replicate?

I was prematurely born Sat through an endless dawn for years and years Like me, it was half-formed, outworn Like me, an artless effigy for his scorn A test, I thought, see what I can bear Eternal damnation, see if I care The truth hurts worse, He wasn’t there He wasn’t even listening He wasn't even listening He never listened This call goes on You’re wrong Call on! Traitor You’re wrong! Shitstain You’re wrong! Shipwrecked You’re wrong! Insect wrong Dream deicide A nervous ache My lidless eyes they never wake up Dream deicide now come and see If he snuffs the light right out of me Such sweet relief to feel

Spirals 02:16
Follow down the staircase into the rolling fog winding down in spirals of inner dialogue Here I waited for the tempest in the absence of any storm Got a finger calmly resting on the trigger of a gun Late at night, I can’t stem the tide I’ve been here before Saw no light except a glow cast in the corner of my eye as I was dragged across the floor

Waxing Moon 03:47
Wide awake on barren streets Bound to earth for centuries A fleeting place outrun by time Heard them voices softly cry They’re calling to my name Drive me to the end of night Keep moving in slow gravity Under scarlet waves from a hanging knife waxing red a starless sky They’re calling me again Now would you turn to ease my pain?

Eternal Life 05:10
On the first day he made the light The mud, the dirt all came to life His will be done, we‘ll have our fun He left me here, eternal life became a sick joke, a sick lie You think we‘re done, but we‘ve just begun On the second day we made the sky but I don’t belong, it won’t be long until he puts me back into my place but I won’t give up, a call to lift me up He left me here, eternal life became a sick joke, a sick lie His will be done, we‘ve had our fun If he lets me go he’ll make it hurt All I ever be to him is mud and dirt You think we’re done, but we’ve just begun Recall the day when we made the sky Cannot get back there but I keep trying He‘ll be watching all my ways I keep on falling down from grace He left me here, eternal life became a sick joke, a sick lie His will be done, I‘ve had my fun

Since you walked in between forgotten realms Here they still trying to shade what’s locked under seal Wingless, aimless, Laid down to rest, here Now, you’re giving in, yeah, you‘re giving in And they sow blood along the way into a room of despair There’s no way to burrow or to reveal what’s soaring in See it rise weightless, tameless, tranquil excess, restless you’re restless I came rushing in flight but you kept fading in vain Again you’re going astray in the cold evening rain Saw you‘re giving in... Laid down softly on a stream A glimpse of memory becoming a dream Laid down in this room where I remember you by and the tears I cried they hardly dried

49 Days 03:26
The sound of sirens wailing all across the town Like an echo in reverse your body vanished from the hearse And your ghost keeps spinning in this house I’m waiting for your grave, I’m waiting for your grave 49 days awake, 49 days of transient living, Watch your daughters weep in petrifying grief Will you return? Will you come back with tears ringing like chimes? Carry home Going high, going low under ceiling you can’t hide, you can’t find shelter from this curse The sound of sirens wailing across the empty hall They came knocking at my door asking for release And your ghost keeps spinning in this house I’m waiting for your grave, I’m waiting for your grave From day to day I tried to hold you close with a chain of spell but you kept spinning upward And I asked you to, Well I asked you to stay, now keep away
