In practice past, I'm closing off
Untethered by visions
Unfamiliar
All lines of sight
Obstructed by light
For what lies beneath
And remains on the surface
Don't blame all that is lost
We revive ourselves
I'll break it off
Severing all ties
I won't look back
Fragments must realign
Dimming the sparks
That burned so bright
We'll never know how this could be
To build it up and break it off
There's more to keep and less to leave behind
There's more to lose and more to try and find
Don't blame all that is lost
We revive ourselves
Unafraid of the aftermath
The bones of what's below will never grow

This creation of doubt won't hold back
Lulled by safety
Lured into these acts
Caught and suffocated but refusing to expand from that
Passionate
Seared into the past
Unavoidable, laid bare to caution
There is no forgiveness here
You'll find it's not all what it seems
So pinch to feel the pain
Clawing for a sweet escape
Until I feel again
You'll find it's not all what it seems
So pinch to feel the pain
Blessed to feel the sweet escape
Until I fall again
One waste to cause wreckage
Nothing can restore
But will I ever overcome all that has gone before?
You'll find it's not all what it seems
So pinch to feel the pain
Clawing for a sweet escape
Until I feel again
You'll find it's not all what it seems
So pinch to feel the pain
Blessed to feel the sweet escape
Until I'm born again

Strike, illustrate
Cease, every moment grey
I concur
Retracting these splinters
Take, navigate
Disarm, in cycles crawl on
I concur
Retracting these splinters
Etched always
Lasting, reacting
In movements so permanent
I concur
Retracting these splinters
Etched always
Lasting, undying
A score unmarked
There is no way to compose the unchartered and unknown
The concept of a world without, the severity of it all
To comprehend the fragility
Lost in the harshness of endless
Cursed by what will embody
Lost in the harshness of endless
The cruelty of that which is cherished

Alma Mater

A finite line that's hard to see and it aways moves away from me
I don't want to wait for anything
Waste away instead of vanishing
Time will die and love will bury it
Time will die and love will bury it
Aimless strives to try and reach this
Will not stir me from this sickness
Stay wondering
With this reckoning
Watch it go by, just to give in
The rush of waves
I'm flooded in the running
Drifting with this one constant
The wish to change is washed away
The outer bounds are out of reach
Is it true it's everlasting?
Stay wandering
There is no place for peak
Everything I thought could be
Shouldn't be within my reach
It comes in waves
I long for it and I feel empty
I watch it go by and I feel nothing
Floating in hope, persisting to glow
Give flight to this fever or don't
At fates command, what could we become when desire is all undone?

A Flood Of Light

And I fall, into your open arms
Soundly embraced here
When I fail
Fall into your open arms
Soundly embraced here
When I'm lost
Plot threads for a patchwork quilt
I've been searching for…
Presence in a wandering heart
Kept like secrets
Forces bind us with no exception
In my absence I have not forgotten
The shadows we create
Fall, in those arms again
And there you are always
After all this time when I'm my most lost
An anchor, eternally grounding me to navigate
A darkness, until a light so blinding burns through the fog
Its never in doubt
After all this time when the rain comes down
An anchor, eternally grounding me to navigate
Whats left behind, what lies ahead
It can take the worst to find out
But there you are always

Whispers Among Us
05:10

Hoping to delay every exchange
Altering state or staying the same
Transform and reshape, in the midst of all this
Not yet finished, so much will to fight it
A misprediction, these differences don't sit well
Somewhere between what is next and what has been
Ease of recollecting
Never to project it
Harboured and held to
We stretch to fit
Are taught to drift
The succession of the inevitable
When it tears, when it ruptures, prepare
It's fleeting and transient and all that is definite
It becomes clear to us only in retrospect
Idly engage, in rooms left to wait
Lapses forgotten, here to remain
Tempted by fate
Outshine the grey, get carried away
Aimlessly searching , forever stray
Unfolding
As it should

Contretemps
08:16

A hidden depth to burden endlessly
Golden memories and sainthood
And the following fall through
For a certain certainty
Of what the end of this will be
There's a weight that rests here
And underneath innocence
Rising up, raised to confront
Imperfections shining through
Where I wanted to hold you
It's defective, let us leave it
In perished walls and ceilings
Uncompromising
Torn and crushed
So cold but pure
So long
Granted, I'm plagued
Left untreated and empty
Demanding breath and being
Carved always and binding
These ordered occasions, a flowing entity
Is drifting back to me
Locked in a farewell with what I've caused
With what I forced
These similarities, boundless in their might
Weathered with dismay, the irreversible and eternal
Overthrown, those sins do not pardon your own
Woven into veins
No binding can fray
It's pressed into these bones
No bonds here will break
Links along a chain
It's pressed into these bones

Risen

That piercing longing
Coarse within
When all that's yearned comes to
Rising up before I knew
Reaching towards dawn
Consoled and consumed
Whispers transpire
Into gentle reminders
It is not something I sought to seek
And then it knocked the breath from me
To forgive without endeavour
Untainted and tender
The love we dreamed of
