You start your day on time Showing talons, crossing mine Pulling words and lines For swift damnation by design Changing the meaning of this thinking Burn your kin for treason Feeling the power of this season Evidenced by symmetry Earthen electricity Takes the bright of my eyes I won’t bring you down I won’t bring you down Breaking down the doubt In strength you fear In strength you’ve found It’s 5:01, the morning’s come So give your nameless tear Changing the meaning of this thinking Burn your kin for treason Feeling the power of this season Evidenced by symmetry Earthen electricity Takes the bright of my eyes I won’t bring you down I won’t bring you down Breaking down the doubt Evidenced by symmetry Earthen electricity Takes the bright of my eyes I won’t bring you down Evidenced by symmetry Earthen electricity Takes the bright of my eyes I won’t bring you down

Ash 03:56
In my vision is the amber dawn She bows to me, in jest she speaks She has come We predate the touch and sound The vines that grow through god and goddess Burn with eloquence Atrophy is calling me My mind is thinking, hands are reaching You look like love to me Offering the dead I keep Defenses burning, city falling As I think, “Welcome home” In that moment she became the storm Ashes for my memories But still I beg for more Hunting god to save this hapless flock Save the necklace, save yourself The lion will endure Atrophy is calling me My mind is thinking, hands are reaching You look like her to me Offering the dead I keep The City’s burning, I am turning As I think, “Welcome home” Welcome home Atrophy is calling me My mind is thinking, hands are reaching You look like her to me The City’s burning, I am turning And I think Entropy is calling me A fire’s reaping, a heart is beating As silent songs repeat Offering my life for peace Love or hate me, I am breaking I can feel you turning from me

Broken chains Feel the weight of change and how these hands might find A tiny place, a vacant space for valor in the night Falling awake with all my dreams at stake Stifling my claims mirrors face maps the lines time made Where is home? Where is home? This, my enemy, is shattering the beast Who has protected me From the shame that I have wrought Salarian in sight, the savage shatters might Who is wrong or right? It doesn't matter any more Breathing out, burning in Direction found in flight Sinking ships catching wind the ocean drinks them down Life is framed for losing faith and pictrues never lie mirrors face maps the lines time made Where is home? Where is home? This, my enemy, is shattering the beast Who has protected me From the shame that I have wrought Salarian in sight, the savage shatters might Who is wrong or right? It doesn't matter any more Prophecy like poetry The words I sing still sinking in Prophecy like poetry The words I sing still sinking in The power is losing more slowly this time The power is losing but we are far from gone The power is moving more slowly this time The power is losing but we are far from home This my enemy is shattering the beast who has protected me from the shame that I have wrought Salarian in sight The savage shatters might Am I wrong or right? It doesn't matter any more

Manuscript 03:40
Remembering the sound of twilight peace Fearing all times in between Watching night become the amber leaves Burning out this ash release Lions surely make it home Pride for victims as they ran Tracking, tracing all began Piercing god with each last breath Manuscript In my headspace I am calloused I’ve redacted many actions Dead are waiting for the patient I’m not needed for anything at all Memories of where I used to go Thinking man’s reclusive death Remembering the names I used to know Clamoring for dragon’s breath I will surely make it home Laws were broken as we ran Falling, breaking in your hands Cultured deadlock in each brand In my headspace I am calloused I’ve redacted many actions Dead are waiting for the patient I’m not needed for anything at all At all, for anything at all Remembering the sound of twilight peace Fearing all times in between In my headspace I am balanced I’ve enacted many passions I’ll be waiting with the patient If I’m needed for anything at all

Distribution of the lie Glamorous portrayal Empty eyes They’re set in time and glory “Peace in time” your battle cry The war you started was in dignity Undulating greed breaking all your deeds Ubiquity is falling the sand Amnesty is falling in the hands Are you sleeping? Don’t let me wake you Don’t let me break you in Are you dreaming? Don’t stop breathing Don’t let your eyes see out Institution soaked in brine Preservation of the scorned divine Sickened by their kind Ambivalence of faith refined A man defined by peace In tears, in love Ubiquity is falling the sand Amnesty is falling in the hands Are you sleeping? Don’t let me wake you Don’t let me break you in Are you dreaming? Don’t stop breathing Don’t let your eyes see out

Barely we reach, scarring the deep The lines in your hand Watching your ink move as you seek The lines in my brands Looking out, looking up Giving up, I am so lost without you Twenty thousand in my hand Giving up, singing songs here without you Giving all my grains of sand Fires reprieve, it ends while we sleep Siege with no keep Sense of our time fading with light Stones hold the heat Looking on, holding out Giving up, I am so lost without you Twenty thousand in my hand Singing songs as my life spins around you Giving all my grains of sand Answer me Giving up, I am so lost without you Twenty thousand in my hand Singing songs as my life spins around you Giving all my grains of sand

Transparency 04:00
Oceans of sanctity, there’s one on every corner Like cheap brothels for each order But whores have dignity Free from iniquity, the bricks quite certainly Have never killed for peace Empty stomach, empty wallets Empty words will let them eat Some have learned from mistakes Some have yet to learn that they were made Try to make this all translucent Screaming the banshee Escalating violence is a memory; a creed Colonial persistence crushing culture like disease Giving dust and taking seed Some have learned from mistakes Some have yet to learn that they were made Try to make this all translucent Try to make this all translucent Show what lives inside It’s hazy but relentless Results may change with time Broken on the inside but better for it All transparent

Wasted 04:00
Watching the sun Empty flame, conviction, and shame Breathing the earth Following so close and so blind Wait…forever mine and yours a day Stretching the lines, burning my eyes Fuck your ego, make this right Naked, wasted And I’ve waited half my life to taste it The platelets pouring on the ground Savior has cut me down without a sound Killing your own No god to hold your hand Sketching the run Finding a way Death of the proud, killing so loud From the weave in the mound to the carrion shroud Naked, wasted And I’ve waited half my life to taste it The platelets as they’re pouring on the ground Savior, the shepherd is all but putting me to ground Used to be better than this Used to be my imaginary friend But you took my hand and showed me everything Naked, wasted And I’ve waited half my life to taste it The platelets pouring on the ground Savior has cut me down and shown me everything You showed me everything You’ve shown me everything

Earth 04:27
As she’s getting high Folded steel, stolen time Sealed inside her mind Pictures of that night Zephyr's arc, Zoa’s bearing Eden’s earth through armored will Falling down, falling free You said to never hope for trees As he’s telling lies Foolish child fawning time While forging ore and rhyme As they take flight Zephyr’s arc, Zoa’s bearing Eden’s earth through armored will Falling down, falling free You said to never hope for trees A color sounds, a stalk, a reed The barren soil grows to green As she gives she’s taking me I have given all I have to give Saving all I have I have given all I have to give Saving all I have For what’s left Falling down, falling free You said to never hope for trees A color sounds, a stalk, a reed The barren soil grows to green As she gives she’s taking me

Tower deconstructed The other side of May The ribbons tear and break Oh, in the pyre by yourself Oh, posterity will help Buried in the graves of dead white men Is the progress they all said was sin Bullet for the claim they’ll win again Hammer’s chime I’m choking Reaping emptiness Tree of life is burning The eloquent refrain And valiantly regress Oh, in the pyre by yourself Oh, posterity will help Buried in the graves of dead white men Is the progress they all said was sin Bullet for the claim they’ll win again Hammer chimes I’m choking Reaping emptiness Cognizant reactions, broken rhyme Lighting up receptors in my head Circles are for nothing, lines are bent Ending the beginning Buried in the graves of dead white men Is the progress they all said was sin Bullet for the claim they’ll win again Hammer chimes I’m breaking down again

Ana 03:03
Ana, fièra I see it in your eyes I keep you by my side Promise, waiting I’ve always been the one Always been in love with you Ana, Oh Ana You warmed me for a night Your vision was my sight Starlight, pure time We never had a chance Do you hear my cries across this time? The gods allow me this shame Last in this world and losing faith Cherishing the taste of mistakes Lost with this girl without a name Ana, Oh Ana Maybe you were right You will always be my fire Maybe you were right You will always be by my side
