1. DROWNED I: STEM

My legs give way into the water.
Doves shall not sing for me
Vultures shall turn their heads

Half of the body is gone
A dark sea begins to take form
I drown...

I am the one who wins.

Air tears at the color-bound
Nothing but churned black, white...

I bargain my body for eternal sight.

My last breath falls on deaf ears.


2. DROWNED II: UNSLEEP

Blessed is the one who does not sleep.

My lungs fill with water, i cannot feel this.
My sights become nightmare incarnate
Dark turns into light
Everything is one.

My mind drips secretion
I feel my visions wash away
Nothing at a loss.

I drown...


3. DROWNED III: KURIL KAMCHATKA

The man who does not question himself

Will always worship himself.

I was one driven by icon and country
Now torn asunder,

My deities exit through my mouth

As parcels of thin air.

Time stands still.
I am at the depths.
There is nothing here.
I am alone.

Surronded by thoughts
I am confronted by an image
A reflection of myself

It stares into my eyes
And disappears forever more.
No longer human am i
A skin with nothing more to experience...

I drown...


4. DROWNED IV: KERMADEC

...i drown...


5. DROWNED V: MARIANA

I am the one who wins.

...i drown...
