Astral Appetite

“If I can taste the sky
can the sky taste me?”
(Taste me)
Jaws of the cosmos
OPEN UP
slather this planet
with your tongue
COLOSSAL HUNGER
we implicitly ache
for your consumption
bring the Pillars of Creation
UPON US
(purification)
flood these civilizations
with the scintillations
of a trillion stars
INSTANTANEOUS RAPTURE
vacant of horror
(take me home)
displace my lungs
with your ether

UNCLEAN METROPOLIS
the true Adversary
ARTIFICIAL LUMINANCE
polluting the firmament
“give me clarity”
CLARITY
I cannot see myself
I cannot truly see
INSIDE
my arteries beg for light
irrigate my bones
with veritable ILLUMINATION
bring the sun
if necessary
I've had enough of this
EVIL IN SHEEP'S DISGUISE
beckon blindness
so that we can
fucking see again!

Limbic Purge

Memories
that aren't mine
I seek to own
they belong
in my brain
I'm sure of it
DEBASEMENT
OF THE MIND
IS RESTORATION
empty all this futility
emotional instability
retentive insanity
(and fill me)
fill me...
...with the only
memory
I want
whether or not
humanity
HAS EARNED IT:
the realization
of our smallness
DELICIOUS INSIGNIFICANCE

Intravenous Forgiveness
01:06
|
|||
|
“I don't know who I am”
anymore
“when my eyes pitch up”
it's gone
I don't know who I am
“anymore”
when my eyes pitch up
(I'm gone)
Atone these bones
with the space betwixt
constellations
permeate my heavy veins
with zero gravity
ELEVATE
LEVITATE
thieve me of breath
be the life
after a DESERVED death
bursting eyes
starlit demise

Hewn Progress
02:27
|
|||
|
Sighted by the gods
nameless deities of time and space
void of religion
thriving in sheer existence
born of and from the stasis
WE ARE IN THEIR SIGHTS
NOW
humankind, advancements made
over decades and centuries
IMAGINATIONS burgeoning
not every accomplishment
has a history of VIOLENCE
but our progress begets greed
the mortal FLAW
NO DEED GONE UNPUNISHED
CLEANSE US
Look to the stars
don't just see potential
feel it
FEEL IT
like rivers of liquescent galaxies
pumping through your arteries
we will no longer be hog-tied
to a system of FALLACIES
“see me see the truth
watch my face change
watch my flesh fade”
our greatest progress
will be capitulating our race
TO BECOMING UNGLUED
our grandest achievement
will be the colonization
of space, in death and spirit
SEE ME SEE THE TRUTH
WATCH MY FACE CHANGE
WATCH MY FLESH FADE
(cleanse us)
cleanse us

(My reverberations are silent
but this quietude grows distant)
Can't you feel the world begin to quake?
Some panic, others pray
but I dance as if learning ballet
Discard your fear and hopelessness
no longer must we bear this worthlessness
Open up to the universe
at last, lifted shall be this curse
of being driven by mankind in a hearse
into the violated and polluted earth
I reverberate in silence no more
I can feel the cosmos reaching into my core
I, oh I, I...
!!!!
I...REVERBERATE IN SILENCE NO MORE
