From whence you came shall you return From the flames from which you were born The deception in your rotten hearts Dooming the young to mental castration Led like sheep through a series of malignant trials and tests Leaving the meek amongst the flock to rot Fed with sanitised gruel till they can sense nothing but your stagnation And still there's no refuge, the cogs keep on turning Nothing to halt the march of this cancerous machine Save for you and me Our love is not enough to change thе world Or destroy the tumor at its source Throwing caution to thе wind Poisoning all that's sacred Feasting on the souls of the young You pray on the weak with false illumination Misdiagnosis with nebulous sicknesses Serves to leave our ruined minds in fits of hypochondria How can we grow? How can we see? How can we find a truth that's relevant with misdirection prevelant in all there is? With these constraints we're nothing more than slaves Bound and gagged and beat till we submit The burden lays on us to collectively be the change we want to see Throwing caution to the wind Poisoning all that's sacred Feasting on the souls of the young You pray on the weak with false illumination At the expense of intuition You loose the dogs of war They bay for blood

The apex approaches A fleeting zenith of our collective creation Time goes unnoticed As if like sand through our toes, each grain containing years And still we tread onwards Blissfully unaware of our temporal codification Our paradoxical nature unfurls Revealing a map of the stars Together we can reconcile and create a triumvirate Our manifestations reaching to heaven A nebulous plane, time is no longer of essence Synchronistic movemеnts behind the scenеs Urge us to weave a greater tapestry We sow the seeds of our very creation Growing brighter and stronger as they feed Our seeds they sprout into trees Our branches ancient and ageless Our leaves, they feed on our energy And in return, we feed on them And still we tread onwards Blissfully unaware of our temporal codification As one, we grow As one, we bloom In this nebulayer cake

A schism appears My identity fragments, leaving glimpses In its wake of who I could've been and might yet be Through the grey I see myself illuminate I see a Siren in my dreams She sings to me, her voice angelic She brings to me glimpses of perfection A previous life, idealised lies? It's all the same to me And when all is said and done Her voice still echoes in my ears A ringing sound I cannot bury Yet I feel torn by her еver present guiding hands Do I rеject this world and substitute my hatred for her love? This schism it heals A state of unity approaches I yearn for transcendence She shows me the door but I lack the key She tells me stories She tells me tales She sings me songs of love And songs of loss She draws me to the water And I wade in Content to let the ocean Take me where it will I gaze upon her spirit I see a face It took all this time to realize This face is mine You look so familiar You look so familiar You look so familiar You look so familiar You look so familiar You look so familiar You look so familiar You look so familiar I look familiar

When you said you were lost I couldn't help but feel Like I had to find you And rescue you From the shadows that took you Lest you be consumed I don't need to be found These shadows are my blanket I'm wrapped up safe and sound I don't need your love To guide my way home I'll be fine on my own This is not the way We can use our love to heal us both I promise, I promise This is not the way We could have bliss if we wanted If not for being foolish We could use our love to heal us both I promise, I promise Why won't you let me in? Your gaze leaves me cold I want to feel your warmth I'll hold you at arms length As long as I need to 'til I'm left well alone Why do you hide away? Away from all that could be Away from all that is? I'm not fit to love I'll only go and drag you down Into the shadows where I lay This is not the way We can use our love to heal us both I promise, I promise This is not the way We could have bliss if we wanted If not for being foolish We could use our love to heal us both I promise, I promise Let me go Let me go Let me go I'm learning how to love Why won't you listen to me? We could pass this fractal exam Why won't you listen to me? We could bloom together

Ensconced in this dangerous game In which we play our roles so rapturously Breathing flame upon the underlings Lest they let fly their voices of dissent We shall stomp down with vigor this civil unrest And we shall tear And we shall gnaw at them And we shall breathe smoke 'Til there's nothing left but ashes Who do they think they are? A voice of reason in the dark? Their treasonous words poison and burn everything they touch Through their dominance they destroy our world Castrate our futures and subjugate our homes We shall indulge no more In this dance with dragons They know not what they do They'd live in piss and shit if it weren't for us, it's true Yet they have the gall to question our reign They need our guiding light to save them from themselves We shall indulge no more In this dance with dragons With fire and water we find the balance So we await the flood So we await the flames We take peace in our duality, embrace our fall from grace So we can rise again together like a phoenix from the ashes Eternally in balance and beauty We shall indulge forever In this dance with dragons

Space-time contorts and degenerates Cosmic fabric unwoven Perception of time disappears Dripping through my fingers into effervescent territories They gaze at me through slitted eyes Hooded flesh, shadowed scales All hail our reptilian overlords For they are here! Chosen by the lizards For ascension You will never leave This state of 4th dimеnsional observation It's begun! Trans-dimensional ascеndance Into 4th dimensional observation

I toe the line between the innocent and the guilty I tread the space not met between the light or the dark This path of the everyman I am society's backbone in times of need And times of caution, and times of hunger For something more than fortune and fame: I seek enlightenment I denounce myself I am the blue collar worker Nine to five; satisfied with all his worth I am the arrogant fuck, staring down at his empire It's never enough To bring us back to step one, erase everything down to zero, level off the playing field May be seen as anarchy by some, but this discomfort is your freedom It's your freedom It's your freedom I am Caesar and you are my slaves I am normality infected I seek to be the plague; infecting innocent cells with my impurities and sins To be truly free, to be truly right, to be truly pure: we must be reborn To be truly wrong, to be truly cursed, to be too far gone: we must bring forth the the storm We must

Seven days and seven nights Of bitter, frenzied, dreamless sleep Convulsions grip my weakened frame Awakening in cold sweats Till I bring you back I shall not rest, I shall not fold I'll use my love to guide me home Your eyes, like beacons, guide my way To the castle in the sky So I tread hallowed ground Violate these sacred lands with my presence There is an evil in the air I shall not rest, I shall not fold I'll use my love to guide me home Your eyes, like beacons guide my way To the castle in the sky My love, if only you'd return So that I may gaze upon your eyes One last time So I bury you beneath the sun Goodbye my love For my sins I've doomed us both To this castle in the sky
