Sunspot 04:55
Your form is black and haunting When running feels like crawling Just as I hit my stride Legs cut out from my side Then the void takes control And leaves you burn out on your own That manic frenzy starts to rise And kills you dead in it’s sweet time Heavy like I’m drowning Can’t breathe like I’m dying When the void comes to call It’s form consumes me whole Then the void takes control And leaves you spun out on your own That manic frenzy starts to rise And kills you dead in it’s sweet time

Open Secret 06:43
They hate you more when you’re a woman Open secret gone untold Same place, same taste, same sound But they still rise to keep you down And I kill myself To give you life All My love And all my time They hate you more when you’re a woman And it’s so much worse than what you’ve heard Cause look around you and tell me who’s missing I bet you can’t guess the answer is her And I kill myself To give you life All My love And all my time How much more will I bleed for you? How much more will you put me through? You hold me back, you cut me down You waste your life to keep me bound How much longer should we bleed for you? How much more is there to suffer through? You hold us back, you cut us down You waste your lives to keep us bound While I kill myself To give you life All my love And all my time

Mind Temple 04:12
Over the mountain I can see the sun On the horizon Darkness creepin’ up Not from the east side Not from the west It’ll come from the face you thought you knew the best Gettin’ locked up inside your mind Can make you feel like doin’ time I can feel it Hummin’ in the air Look around for kindness you won’t find it here Not from the north side, Not from the south It’ll come front the side You thought you knew the most about Gettin’ locked up inside your own mind Is just as bad as doin’ time The more they wanna try to steal your soul Gotta worship your mind temple Over the mountain I can see the sun On the horizon Darkness creepin’ up Not from the east side Not from the west It’ll come from the face you thought you knew the best Gettin’ locked up inside your own mind Is just as bad as doin’ time The more they wanna try to steal your soul Worship in your mind temple Over the mountain, I can see the sun Over the mountain, I can see the sun

Cosmic Decay 05:24
Harbored in your tender fire I seek shelter in your storm For I’m soft & feral waves of passion that crash upon your shore The pleasure and the pain Pure symphonic bliss The sweet cosmic decay In our sonic tryst Can you trust a little I want the best life we can make for ourselves Will you trust me a little A little bit more than you can trust yourself The fucking world’s on fire But there is nothing I want more than you Plug my heart into my amplifier And feel my frequency cut through Grind me down into oblivion And blast me into space Grind me down into oblivion Let my soul be unchained

Impermanence 06:48
All the rain Could never wash away The blood that stains Forever on our hands We’re all to blame We ignore the signs The Earth will stay Whether we live or die Burn Vinyl lakes Burn Acid Rain Burn She cries in pain All around us, you see the signs And you ignore it, every time The more they profit, the less they care Acid waters and toxic air Now you’ll suffer As she suffers Love your mother If she goes down, she’s gonna take us all with her Changing seasons and turning tides Bring us closer to our demise The Earth will flourish, when we’re all dead She’ll get the last laugh in the end Now you’ll suffer As she suffers Love your mother If she goes down, she’ll gonna take us all with her We’re all to blame We’re all to blame We’re all to blame We’re all to blame

Above, below I walk alone Passed the mausoleums Living among death What is my purpose? I barely survived Why do I deserve this? Eternal breath And I can feel the veil thinning Floating between life and death As I pass the swans, I can hear them singing The beauty of life is impermanence There's nothing to fear or fight against Through pain you find growth But as you atone See the magic in life Is all that is shown Why is it so hard, Just being alive sometimes? But to have a heart And to care about each other's lives? I'm caught under The crushing weight of my existence Still I wonder, What's the purpose in my persistence? Eternal breath I can feel the veil thinning Floating between life and death As I pass the swans I can hear them singing The beauty of death is it's permanence There's nothing to fear or fight against Through pain you find growth But as you atone See the magic of death lies in the unknown Floating between worlds As I pass the swans I can hear them singing The beauty of life is impermanence There's nothing to fear or fight against Through pain you find growth but as you atone See the magic of life is all that is shown The beauty of death is it's permanence There's nothing to fear or fight against Through pain you find growth but as you atone See the magic of death lies in the unknown

Create Space 05:34
I've lost faith, in all humanity No longer put, my trust in anybody Up 'til dawn, with anxiety As racing thoughts come catching up with me We've all got cycles to break But this shit's getting to be more than I can take How many times will the sun rise today Before I gotta admit there's a problem? And how many lies will I let slide away before I gotta go and confront 'em? I know what feels right and what feels wrong But there's just not enough to keep me hanging on Release the pain, create the space Give yourself room to feel Don't be afraid, embrace the change Give yourself time to heal I clung to anger, never wanting release Chose to suffer while never knowing peace When you choose yourself, trust you've chosen well And break the chains of our chosen Hell Release the pain, create the space Give yourself room to feel Don't be afraid, embrace the change Give yourself time to heal I clung to anger, never wanting release Chose to suffer while never knowing peace When you choose yourself, trust you've chosen well And break the chains of our chosen Hell

Inner Ocean 02:17
I am a violet being I burn with violet fire I can feel the current And my soul aligned I become all I create When I'm riding theta waves Surfin' transcendental planes I'm a lover not a fighter But I won't be knocked around You fuck with my compassion And pretty soon you're finding out I become all I create When I'm riding theta waves Surfin' transcendental planes I become all I create When I'm riding theta waves Surfin' transcendental planes Some days I'm barely treading water The inner ocean of my mind Some days the waves are altars And I'm master of the tide I become all I create When I'm riding theta waves Surfin' transcendental planes

Soul Crusher 04:26
I don't know who you came to find here You're better off lookin somewhere else I don't know who you're talkin to Fuck off and exploit someone else Let myself down for the last time Now I'm finally gonna have my say You're not takin any more of what's mine I'm never giving any more away I'm gonna get what I want And I'll get it without you I'm gonna live out my dreams If it's the last thing I do No respect for your corporate bullshit And I don't want your hustle culture life I don't exist to fuckin' serve you I exist purely out of spite Let myself down for the last time Now I'm finally gonna have my say You're not takin any more of what's mine I'm never giving any more away I'm gonna get what I want And I'll do it without you I'm gonna live out my dreams If it's the last thing I do I don't care what you want from me And I don't care if you get it for yourself I don't know who you're callin' family So go fuckin' sell it to someone else Now this is my life Now I am free Fire burns in my eyes Now I am free Control, taking the reigns Now I am free And I'm whole, complete again Now I am, now I am free No respect for your corporate bullshit And I don't want your hustle culture life I don't exist to fuckin' serve you I exist purely out of spite Cause I'll be doing fine On my own this time Cause I'm alive and I won't waste another day on you

Orb Weaver 05:24
Every day, I begin my climb And slowly start to build my escape As every strain, that I unwind One by one ties me to my fate As I breathe, I can feel my heart Telling me this too shall pass You and me, now forever apart Caught up in the web of the past Of all the things, I wish I would have said Was to let you see the love I held inside And now the pain, from losing you Is tangled with the guilt and the lies From all the times, that you hurt me too To how I guess I left things in the end Every day, spins memories of you I build it up just to tear it down again And now I wanna know Where to go from here? When will I start to grow? Or just disappear? The hollow weight of grief Pulls me down And I just want relief From this Hell Orb Weaver, spinning your daily web of pain I'm reeling, from being caught like prey again This grief is, eating me up while still alive Orb Weaver, drain me of everything that's mine

Abandon hope all who enter here Welcome to the kingdom of fear No escape, no get away Better just accept your fate You can scream and you can fight But you won't ever make it out alive And still somehow they never tire Of all the bloodshed and the bullet fire Every day's a struggle just to survive I can't believe All this hate and this treachery Grudges we keep Have us bound for eternity In the wake of grief and despair Out they come with their thoughts and prayers The act of caring without the care Lacking awareness while acting aware Through all the causalities we acquire Nothing radical is ever required Every crime their idle hands commit Drag us deeper down in the abyss I need another scene, another city Anywhere but here, is where I'm headin' Try to make the best outta bein' alive I can't believe All this hate and this treachery Grudges we keep Have us bound for eternity Pulled down beneath To the depths of insanity Nine Layers Deep Into Hell it keeps draggin' me Still somehow they never tire Of all the bloodshed and the bullet fire Every day's a struggle just to survive I can't believe All this hate and this treachery Grudges we keep Have us bound for eternity Pulled down beneath To the depths of insanity Nine Layers Deep Into Hell it keeps draggin' me I can't believe I fell Nine Layers Deep In Hell

Ouroboros 04:55
So let me give you some advice Just to help you through the night Everybody will pay their price 'Cause every man has his vice Soon you'll find out on your own That all we are is blood and bone Reptilian to the core A lizard brain and nothing more Oh when you finally make peace with yourself You will see all the snakes who writhe in your nest Twist and break but what they'll never take from you Is how you live your own truth It's a long, lonely curse From death to your rebirth Once you've faced your demise You will see through all their lies Seek out your strengths when you find The darkest shadow of your mind Tell all your demons that they can hide In the Hell I keep inside Oh when you finally make peace with yourself You will see all the snakes who writhe in your nest Twist and break but what they'll never take from you Is how you live your own truth I know that it's hard To fight until dawn But stay where you are I'll find you in the dark Oh when you finally make peace with yourself You will see all the snakes who writhe in your nest Twist and break but what they'll never take from you Is how you live your own truth
