Rift Through Reality
02:58

I’ve seen beyond the mountains
Walked along the shore
The shade of tranquil forests
Covered me from the suns warmth
The dream compelling
A liars reward
Phantasmic grins mocking
Reactions programed
Senses obscured obstructed
Doubt conspire
Its actors concise
Curtains withdrawn
A deniers paradise
Just past the boundaries
Celestial plane revealed
We’ve been trapped here
Rambling to ghost
Shadows of the truth
Blinded by perceptions
Deceptions grand illusion
Prime our fate
The dream compelling
Fantastic scenes extorting
Thieves dwelling
Exposed seams contorting
Phantasmic grins mocking
Reactions programed
Senses obscured obstructed
Doubt conspire
Its actors concise
Curtains withdrawn
A deniers paradise
Shadows of the truth
Blinded by perceptions
Deceptions grand illusion
Seal our fate
Projection ensalve this trivial oblivion
Prying eyes gaze the tangible realm
I’ve never breathed mountain air
My toes never met the sand
The sunshine on my shoulders
A fabrication

The Swollen Shore
03:36
|

I dropped anchor long ago
The beaten shore bruised
A sight for crooked eyes
Rested refreshing sighs
Debris kissing the shore
What the tide brings in
Oozing at the cracks, bleeding
Warranting the wreckage
The rancid stench of iron
Eroding the sinuses
The barrier broken through
Cleaning salt seeps into the wound
Glass in my finger tips
Sensitivity to the light
Sand filling my boots
My mouth filled with shards
I jumped ship long ago
The beaten shore bloody
A sight for scorned eyes
Rested refreshing sighs
Debris kissing the shore
What the tide brings in
Oozing at the cracks, bleeding
Warranting the wreckage
Am i an island a lonely body
Imprisoned by the swirling vortex
Don't you hear it
Singing its lullaby
What twisted mercy
What twisted mercy

Feed Me the Forest
03:45
|

Endless wandering
The twists and turns of these woods
A shelter from the sun gaze
Its beauty masked the falsehood
Wooded winds
Surrender a stream
A treasure trove
So nursing
A crown of leaves
To keep the memory
I could leave this place
The haunting calls beckoning
A solace offering
Expelling restless dispare
These woods are my asylum
A comforting timber cabin
Built from wooded grace
Offering my escape
Unburdened by the unseated wood
A network of trails my playground
Foliage cleared out
The ebb and flow unhindered
The natural order
My own master
I could leave this place
The haunting calls maddening
Stumps are all that remain
The forest left with nothing

Beyond the Mountain
04:09
|

Take a deep breath
Feeling the depth
The calming rhythms
Each muscle relaxed
A form my mind
Can’t escape
Taking holds
Manifest shape
Cold peaks towering
Callus and conniving
Terrain treacherous
Ascending catalyse
Crawling torment
Howling menace
Clawing advance
Calls persistent
Take a deep breath
Feeling the depth
The calming rhythms
Each muscle relaxed
A form my mind
Can’t escape
Taking holds
Manifest shape
Cold peaks cowering
Aching groveling
Triumph imminent
Conquering catalyst
At the summit
Madness breaths
Clarity erased
Existence ceased
Submit to the fall
Plummeting mortal
The comforting ground
Settling earthly bounds
Take a deep breath
Feeling the depth
The calming rhythms
Each muscle relaxed
A form my mind
Can’t escape
Taking holds
Manifest shape

Buring the Feilds
02:55
|
|||
The garden in our heads
Drenched from the brainstorm
Washing away
The supporting soil
Old growth became
An unruly thicket
Dorment prosperity
Waiting to bloom
The ground settles
Roots overgrown
Too green to burn
Suffocation looms
Stagnate pastures
Passing judgement
Weeds invaded long ago
The storehouse is full
The harvest will spoil
Fanning the flames
Pouring the oil
This prescribe burn overdue
Years of work
Feed the blaze
Grasslands turn to ash
Transformation's quiet embrace

Sailing the Poison Sea
03:24
|
|||
I've grown tired of this
Infected swollen shore
Peer into the piercing deep
Set sail for the poison sea
Waves crashing
Against my craft
The coast line sinks
Into the distance
The swell persists
Ripping at the mast
Hear the call
Among the wreckage
Wounded souls
Piloting ships like pirates
The wind in our sails stolen
And we can no longer soar
Abandon all hope or walk the plank
Tyrant tidal waves
Flooding the vessel
Treading the waters venom
Pouring into open wounds
Set sail for the poison sea
Set sail for the poison sea
The wilds gone succumb to the abyss
The void closing in and its left hungry
A somber sweet smell lingers
The salted air stinging
Waves crashing
Against my craft
In wake of the destruction
I'm left gasping
The swell persists
Ripping at the mast
Soaked and laughing
I prevail
