When The Metal Caves
05:02
|
|||
|
Sometimes I remember how I have been
Once another man, now not within
No matter how long I tread, I always
Tend towards rebirth, to begin again
I’m not sure that’s a comforting thought, I’m
Cognizant that it’s all for naught
Traveling, aimless, in backwards motion
Capitulate and yield to emotion
The lands ahead can never be among your devotions
If your eyes forever fixate upon travels of a past life

Disintegrate
04:11

|
Space-time, disrupt
State of temporal flux
Life in 2D
Leads to endless sleeping
Live life dreaming
Nothing I see ever feels real to me
Nothing I see ever feels real to me
A moment parts the sea
Disintegrate for me
Dividing lines for thee
Disintegrate for me
The shine turns dull
When you’re out of control
Comforting life
Slice through, like butter meets a knife
Carve out the Earth
Replace, and rebirth
Carve out the Earth
Replace, and rebirth
So when the metal caves
Will you see me the same?
If I could do it again
I’d have a lot to say

A moment parts the sea
Disintegrate for me
Dividing lines for thee
Disintegrate for me
Bisect my being
50 milligrams each
Find a normalcy
Disintegrate for me
So when the metal caves
Will you see me the same?
If I could see you again
I’d have a lot to say

The Mountain
03:37
|
|||
|
100 wide, 100 high,
A great cliff side, a treacherous sight
Dwindle away, Every day
Eternity, Destined for me
To fly is all I want to try
This wasted time, I quantify
|

Two Seconds of Eternity
03:08
|
|||
|
Prisoner to this bleak duty
Chip away at its gnarled beauty
Mountain gone and leveled away
Lost to time in timeless decay
Disheveled man, older than time
Presents himself, one of a kind
His words strike me, words I now dread
Allow me to tell what he said
“This was just the first second of
Eternity, and the next will
Set you free from all mortal pains.
Your passions will disintegrate “

Traveling
I met a bird
It showed me the way
To fly carelessly
Speak to me
Reveal the truth
Of aviation
I ascend and take flight
Contemplate eternity
As vast as it seems
There is an escape
Now my shift
Is finally complete
I am free
Helios, receive me
Through the sky
I glide with ease carefree
Land below I once knew
Distant memory
Into the sun I sink
Everyone
I speak for those who breathe
