1. SPRY OPTICAL FLUX

Murmurs from the grove tell tales while I slumber
Her tongue tracing my only ear
She sways with the breaking branches
While her shadow lie dormant in fear

The limbs split with my subliminal self
Separating us at the soul
Failing to see what she’s done in the darkness
Although apart we are still one
--------------------
Counting the waves of a shattered illusion
Reassembled, struggling for clarity
All sense torn through murky lenses
I see reality crumble before me

Writhing through inescapable space
My arms chained to the ever-falling floor
I spiral through my own existence
All that was is now never more

The world stops as we contort back to one frame
Deep fog penetrating my flesh
Her laughter echoing off nothingness
As I’m trapped in spry optical
Flux.
--------------------
Dangling over the abyss I cut the strands of certainty.


2. TRAVERSING AEONS

Extracted from existence
Immersed in nothingness
Like a drain torn from the tit
I drown in thirst for substance

My veins bled dry
All marrow sucked from my bones
The weight of my cognition
Disordered, illogical

Eternal sleep eluding me
I drift through voices left unfound
My vision oscillates unmeasured
Once I obtain the ground
--------------------
The undefined wall between myself and matter
Evaporated
The first light of the aeons past
I struggle to stand
Traversing the gap of realms I imbibe my
Vigor once again
--------------------
My might restored
Her fate is sealed

(Instrumental)


4. DEVOURING DEITIES

Trampling the weak
Splintering underfoot
Crush the trees
From whence the voices came
--------------------
Rend the bodies from the earth
Kneel my subjects
Breaking backs and wills of man
Kneel my objects
--------------------
From the clouds of chaos
Her hourglass is seen
She too has crossed
To the realm of dreams

Her body tangible
The black fades green
Her many mouths screaming the scream of
A mute banshee
--------------------
I tear out her throat and I swallow it whole


5. DEADEN

Her mountains
Collapse at the sight
Of domination imploding

Her oceans
Rage infernally
As the voices permeate my

Memories
Returning as falsehoods
What in this world is real?
--------------------
Her frame lies before me
With short, quivering breaths
Her struggle hypnotic
My hand gave her death

Debris becomes one with
Her fragmented soul
As the life leaves her eyes
The light leaves my own
--------------------
Trapped in the orbit of time
Ahead of us lies the past
Through death she cannot leave
And our fates are never met
