Fluid Existential Inversions
This track is instrumental.
Light is all that we have left Night is all that comes next The setting sun drips into me Languid and open to it all The things you've seen all melt in your mind Drink of the liquid and discard the rind The setting sun drips into me Shadow and substance It's depth knows no bounds Nightmares in abundance Light is all we have left The things you've seen all melt in your mind Drink of the liquid and discard the rind The languid and open to it all Color of you is revealed When the light is just so The further we reach The higher that we get In through the out door and up from within The things you've seen all melt in your mind Drink of the liquid and discard the rind

Here lies a man Who fell victim to pride Culler of staves Stylites in the sky Cracks in the old oubliette Betray the false hope of light And we'll never get it right So in darkness let us dwell We started with a bang But we'll end with a sigh We are all to blame Empty is my way

It turned out to be a dream Where the things I had seen Were disguised as things I had not seen All king and pawns left to die The punishment fits the crime This simulation sucks Bury my face into the sand And heart in the gutter

No god from the machine No saviors lay in wait We've left the wooded valley Headed toward the precipice This mountain is a monster Our skin is cracked Our hands are weary from the climb Austerity bites Severe, serene Luddites try as they might Discontents appear in every face And dwell upon every tongue

Some kind of small pale creature lies in wait Just below the surface I thought I had escape But of course I never could It lives everywhere It changes everything How did I ever find this? Was it always waiting for me? The horror I felt as I ran As my shadow ran after me They all ran after me Everyone sees but no one helps But of course no one knows

Get rid of what we have Make room for what we are Behind our fear is always pain All we stand to gain All we stand to lose And in the end we have to choose If might-have-beens were kings and queens Then we'd have kingdoms all The lurking shadows on the path The tepid grow of aftermath Obscure the rise that comes before The fall...

In this, the best of all possible worlds I'm born to die The pain ebbs and flows only forth I’m still drowning Shall we cultivate Our garden now? Why must we hope the best While still-injured hearts await? And if we never find The things we want At least we'll be with something New Let us caress The serpent that devours Time is of the essence And there's still much to do

Better sorry than safe We miss the forest for the trees Deaf to what we won't hear The silence brings us to our knees Surreality has let itself back in And we will see the writing on the wall We'll never know if it will end tonight We'll never be the shadow of what we fear All the pain that lies ahead Will show me that this is just a dream And fill all believers' hearts with dread The worst is rarely ever seen May your first day in hell last a thousand years And let it start today
