Hanging in the balance Between the pauses of the second hand So long awake... IN WAIT (Four colours cloud the sky) IN WAIT (Red rivers dripping dry) Our bottomless well of wishes, drained
Igniting in the vacuum Between the friction and the everlasting flame Lifetimes amass, dormant... I WAIT (Backlit volcanic shore) I WAIT (Five pointed star is born) As it is in the Void, so it is under my skin
Posing in prayer on the South Rim Shrouding the ridgeline in Softness Finding peace where Endings begin
Premonitions Of a quickening pace, At the rock face Brushing with broader streaks
Treat the symptom Of a paradigm shifting, No lantern burns long In this cavity Flickering In and out of Becoming TOTEM EMERGING
Tied In the mind's eye Pendulum is pacing Blind In the psyche Sliding scale of belief Is tipping Transmutations Prefaced by the signal fires
Intuition Scrivened pigment and clay, Past lives play out at each stage In this gallery Wavering Archetypes intervening On the walls of a hand painted cave
I confess, You are a stunning mess- Unbetrothed to a single spectrum. I digress, No vow of permanence Has a deep-rooted hold On its host- Mycelial Massacre Gnawing away (They're gnawing away) These tracks I laid.
And the praise it was fraudulent Nothing sacred in my fingerprints Shed my skin as a parting gift SLASH AND BURN, and start again Through the lens of predation Monochrome interpretations Only fit for the color-starved Strip-mine my flesh, I WILL ASCEND
At a cut throat crawl Traverse the grounds of decay At a cut throat crawl To erode at a glacial pace
Trance-formations Sawtooth waves of transition
I regress, Hypnotic dissonance- Every lie that I told Is a ghost- Residual Apertures Haunting the frame (They're haunting the frame) Sequential fates Massacred Gnawing away (They're gnawing away) Legacies waste.
SIGNALING FIRE SIGNALING FLAME Illuminate the Way
In this world of wounds Transcend with hands in the earth In this world of wounds To amend with hands in the dirt
Off course in the crooked rain Always chasing a distant flame (At a glacial pace) Untwine yet another braid Clutch this tangled cord
In this world of wounds We can heal with hands in the earth In this world of wounds Climb forevermore EVerandeverandEVERandeverandevER
(balance can never be restored...) \"Sorrowing, Sighing, Bleeding and Dying\" New hymnals sound from the mouth of a cave (...will never be restored) The chosen betrayed us, worshipful conquest Healers in ash at the foot of a stake Wild waters forgotten In violent eruption OUR TOTEM EMERGES Field and fountain Moor and mountain WAITING...
