Solipsism 03:52
The future is unknown, the past never happened Our idols don’t exist, and we have yet to be born Concrete doesn’t exist, but mud is plentiful The calm before the storm exists to accentuate the storm Turbulence is the meaning of life, everything else is purgatory Can you please me so that I may please you so that I may die content? Don’t give anyone enough time to wonder why they’re here Make them move to the beat of one last desperate plea The sun blisters And I search for the strength to stand up The moon rises And I think “Oh well, good enough” The floodlights hum dryly, illuminating tragedy briefly Pulsating veins expand and the heart explodes Trained eyes see beauty and horror in everything Generational effects of causality are a blessing and a plague The commodification of the past becomes the fear of the future Confusion personified and defiantly denied There is a punctuated meaninglessness that comes from the fixation on a past self A great plume of black smoke ascends into the atmosphere Inwards Outwards This is the result of collective apathy This is the result of collective apathy This is the result of legislated apathy This is the result of weaponized apathy Empathy

A modern landscape Devoid of color Collapsed on the turnpike Somebody’s chosen one The snakes among us They drain the others Premeditated betrayal Poisoning their mothers Everyone suffers Some more than others Everyone suffers Many more, more than others And those who never loved Rip the passion from our loins Upon witnessing beauty Terraform, terraform! And those who never lived Whisper death into our ears Convincing others to do the same, Throw their heads in the sand, find a victim to blame We seek to supplement We seek to cure We seek the supplement We seek the cure Everyone suffers Some more than others Everyone suffers We seek the cure

Fountain 07:03
The day I met you I tried to hide The fact that I had never Felt less alive But still you saw something Something in me A glimmer of a person I thought I’d never be Bathing in the fountain of your ecstasy Breathing the scent of your flesh If there’s something that’s worth clinging to If there’s anything at all And for a short time I thought I was cured From the faulty mental state that Manipulates my world Though it is not your task To provide A soothing antidote For what lies on the inside Bathing in the fountain of your ecstasy Breathing the scent of your flesh If there’s something that’s worth clinging to If there’s anything at all, it’s you Take me with you When you die You’re not alone The wind blows You’re not alone

Disquietude 02:57
The beauty of it all emanates from within An inability to perceive your sin In awe with the joy you get from The weight of being Suddenly self-awareness takes hold You’re teetering on the precipice of it all Every decision made is constrained by The weight of being You’re losing the light from your eyes Choose to ignore the void Choose to deny the void Choose to serve the void Choose to confront the void Contrast decreases How long can I hold my head above water? Until my eyes start to dry I feel my skin hardening A bureaucrat in all but mind You think you’re finally coming to terms with The weight of being You think you’re finally coming to terms with The weight You’re losing the light from your

Clarity 03:28
Feeling unsure of everything My swollen heart deflates The past permeates my present Some thoughts you just can’t erase And I’ve learned from my mistakes But have I learned enough Am I where I’m supposed to be Will I ever be enough Do I have clarity Am I justified Do I have clarity Am I justified My conscience is destitute Just a product of the time The material self dissipates And floats away into the sky Do I have clarity Am I justified Do I have clarity Am I justified Do I have clarity Am I realized Do I have clarity Am I realized

Vacancy 04:04
Life is fading from the smile Withered distant nervous eyes Choking on the sour truth Detestable, repugnant, uncouth I couldn’t feel anything Vacuous stare or mercurial glare Infant’s bawling, infant’s bawling Doe-eyed child on a funeral pyre Christ absolve me, Christ absolve me Don’t cry for help and do not run Bury the truth, bury the truth Swallow your tongue, betray the young And drown the babe in the fountain of youth I couldn’t feel anything It’s all over It’s all over, nothing left I couldn’t feel anything Steady now, deep breath

Fertility 08:01
Beyond the veil The sound of smouldering Wet ashes And murmurs of concern Plastic stiff figures With painted faces Caustic industrial paint Inverted disposition Organs sold To the highest bidder For less than their value A sickly cough Postured polaroid Depicts a utopia Of simple design Our new reality A pin pricks the curtain And some light, some light shines in Now that the light shines on us There’s no turning back No cowering under the veil That divides fiction from fact You should look in the mirror And become overwhelmed Tear back the callous mask That divides you from yourself We must carry the burden Bestowed by those before us Everything we have ever done Has been the product of ignorance Everything we ever do, is white noise I don’t want to sow the seeds of despair Nothing grows here We don’t pick flowers I can’t decide what’s worse The pandering or the denial Why do we bury our past? Cyclical, it’s cyclical We belong in the dirt
