Mercurial Passages
Fear in numbers Worlds tipped sideways Music ends with trumpets blaring The holy vessel is shattered The liquid of life Runs into the grey waters The shoreless sea beckons As we gaze into the distance All is liminal All is horizontal We exhale carbonmonoxide The Ouroborus lies motionless Locusts take over We have driven out the snake But the stranglehold of infinity Is now around our neck Wake up, you're dead Wake up, you're dead Wake up, you're dead Celebrate

Senselessly drifting We take what we're given Tall tales and blue pills Falling through the cracks Mirthless dreams in a limbo Mind coming apart Before your very eyes Another hundred years in a coma Futile resistance Let us sleep past This time of false dawns Until they appear Black swans on the field Out of the psychic blue

The sky is empty The silhouette is gone Rain without end Silence falls on deaf ears Cancerous dream Dance around the graves Still among the living No salvation Wolves gather Limitless view No shelter behind fallen trees Just like it's meant to be Swimming in a sea of light The vanishing point gets closer More beautiful than ever before The red giant Burns the tip of my tongue Pitch-black words keep falling From a bottomless well A spear like a ray of light As all our past incarnations Sink into the shadows Breathing new life into Ancient chaos

Perdition Cacophony Voices laughing and crying This is where three roads intersect The colourless mile feels endless I hold my breath Until the levee breaks And someone calls me By a different name I enter the void The abyss Between the lines On the palms of their hands Everything's white Words disintegrate Waking up with my eyes closed Paste and phlegm A string through my mouth Under the jaw Hands bound upon my chest The singing still resonates Within my abode Alive but laid to rest

A casket full of light Figures like smoke Colourless dreams Escape through the walls Into the infinite white Brightness of Mercury Poisoned thoughts Sink below the horizon Subconscious parasites A dreadful dance At the ruins of my soul In exile A wasteland of dreams Shapeless silver Turns into steel In the hands of a faceless queen Eyes like mirrors Shards of glass Cut through the lies A sharp pain Behind my eye Clairvoyance Blood dripping down the temples Absorbed into the sands of time

In darkness painted Whited sepulchres Gnawing Lifeforce In the chambers of my heart Pitch-black, cancerous radiance Glimmers in all its splendour It becomes me I've buried the ones I love Underneath the floor Burning dust settles As I enter through the door Ashes and wine Leave no trace On the rocks at the shore We're left scrambling With a burden This secret, laid upon A shallow grave Silence falls like drops of blood Haemorrhage The crimson curtain Shred to pieces Lucid dreams at dawn Pain unspoken A funereal omen Eyes covered From the sun

A candle flickers in the mirror Hands reaching to the other side I see a dark sail on the horizon The reflection never lies Words screaming Lungs failing The watchful eye Is growing tired Raindrops fall Like spears from the sky Forthcoming storm I force the hand of fate Summer's end Voices fade away Ripples in the water multiply Spears of scarlet light Shoot through the left temple
