In search of the other side
Waves beyond me
It was the soul's own circuitry
And damage has been done
The feelers receiving
All contacts memorized in blood
The silence
The silence
And I try
I tried to step inside
All of this was a sign
From across the dark divide
Every pinch
Every pain
Tools for divine Rewiring
The silence
Vibrations
Reflecting
The cause is still affecting
A focus unending
Wavelength we are sending
And in the transition
you learn to reposition
Receptors are aching
It's all part of the waking

Miscarriage of Salvation
04:49
|
|||
|
I tell the same story again and again
Another picture reminds me the colors of my prison
A phone call from a stranger who says
Another
Miscarriage of Salvation
Coincidentally, simultaneously
Right as I awaken to the vacuum silence again
I will carry it with me this time
So that next time there will be no surprise
But instead my heart skips a beat
And my hands lose control of a contrived doing
Let the undoing begin
It's malignant course
I find little freedom
In this free choice
Another reminder
Quick and sharp
But it lingers softly
And I watch him try to heal
Try to understand the loss
Another reminder of what brought me here
To this stormy sky in my brain
It all runs together in a sea of murder
Where heaven and Hell collide all the time
And madness
(The only logical thing)
Madness
(The only logical thing)
Madness
Prevail..
I tell the same story again and again
Another picture reminds me the colors of my prison
A phone call from a stranger who says
Another
Miscarriage of salvation

The Eye
03:23
|
|||
|
No room inside mortality
To be insecure
Oh but it suits well the need
For diversion
Block the doorway...
of truth
To shut off the thoughts
Escaping to the tunnel that is Inevitable
The eye is meant to open and then close
Born to see
Momentarily
And then fade to blackness as if that was all it had ever known
As if seeing once was enough
As if opportunity could not be wasted
And as if to say
Fuck you
It still doesn't matter
Fuck you
It still doesn't matter
It still doesn't matter

Amnesia
03:44
|
|||
|
Waking up the deepest sleep
That I never dreamt inside
Waking up to stranger's eyes
That I'd never think to hide
It's the morning darkest light
Washed away the shadows died
Lose all memory
One moment
Nothing's left
Lose all the feeling
it's beautiful
Sick with amnesia
Holding but a skeleton
Time could stop and let me go
Leading a blood history
Burning all of what I know
Never did these things appear
All the pain it wasn't so
Lose all memory
One moment nothing's left
Lose all the feeling
A bitter heart amnesia
Enter now synapse chimes
Take it back I never fell
From the angel prophecy
Did the math and cast the spell
Time it burns right through the wall
What it found time will tell
And the clocks will never turn back into the gates of hell
Lose all memory
One moment
Nothing's left!

Not A Disguise
04:49
|
|||
|
Seven veils cover her
Each layer falls away
Revealing newborn tears
Another skin to peel
And she sells it like a scheme
Caught inside the will, a shove
Light to move her through the space
What if it is not a disguise
What if it is not a disguise
What if it is not a disguise
Doesn't matter how you trace
The lines shaped like a smile
Time is the unfolding and her skeleton walks
Body is the cylinder
And the mind invisible
Her hands remove vibrations one by one
What if it is not a disguise
What if it is not a disguise
She just wants the truth behind her lies
What if it is not a disguise
Feeling out the mass the weighs
Heavily though substance crawls
Tick tocks till it tumbles over
Digging in to fill the need
Suddenly the air is clear
Till a pinch revives her from the grave
That says
What if it is not a disguise
What if this is not a disguise
What if it is not a disguise
What if it is not a disguise
Are you the picture in the frame
Are you the writing on the wall
Who has the eyes behind the veil
Are you the height before the fall

Never Knew Before
03:54
|
|||
|
Ahhhh
Ahhhh
Do you know, ah you know
What you never ever knew before
Do you know, yeah you know
What you never knew before
And I see God inside the smile of that little child
Tore out my heart and wore it humbly for her crown
Give it back white lace turns black
A man surrenders on the way down
Now you know what you never ever knew before
And I know yeah I know
What I never ever knew before
And we know yes we know
What we never ever knew before
I know you so well
I can feel it when you cut your hair
I'm on the inside of this wicked paradigm
The apple tree so you could see
All the time spent ditching paradise
Now you know what you never ever knew before
Do you know, like we know
What we never ever knew before
You know you know what you never knew before
And I know yes I know
What I never knew before
What we never ever knew before
Woke up opened up my eyes
The light has saved me once or twice
A harnessed love oh so nice
And I just don't hold things like they are in my sound
But I was holding that his words could keep me around
Was it just a fantasy
Ahhhhh
Ahhhhh

Promise Sealed
02:43
|
|||
|
Inside many creatures wait to be revealed in time
Each moment sealing promises of fate
And the spiders are awake through these silken webs that wrap up the night
With a twisted dream of light
A twisted dream
A twisted dream
A mortal passage of light
Slowly
Execution
That lights the way
It is known
A twisted dream of life
With a twisted dream of light

Asylum
03:20
|
|||
|
You are inside the looking glass
You are the madness
You are the violence
And the asylum knows your past
You are the demon
You are the silence
You are inside the looking glass
You are the child losing your mind
And the reflection knows your past
Do you remember, what did you find?
You've just begun to see the signs
Warping to phantoms and pets that are blind
And the Asylum mocking your visions
Watching you writhe
It knows your(e) kind
You are inside the looking glass
You are the madness
You are the violence
And the asylum knows your past
You are the dreaming
You are the silence
And the asylum knows your past
You are inside the looking glass

Gloria
Don't want redemption
Don't want to put things right
And did I mention
The truth is out of sight
Don't want to say Amen
O sing Halleluia
I just come here for a little sound movement
Gloria
Gloria
Don't want redemption
Don't want to speak the truth
Don't want to clear the air
No such confession
Just want to be right here
Will get me close to you
No I can't say Amen
O sing Halleluia
No need to save my soul
I just come here for a little sound movement
Gloria
I just come here for a little sound movement
Don't want redemption
No need to speak my truth
Don't want to say those words
O sing Halleluia
No need to save my soul
O sing Halleluia
O sing Halleluia
And did I mention
The still reflection
She was my purity

Moonlight Crash
04:14
|
|||
|
Light the candles
And let my foolish heart give in
And silently I
I almost win
Drinking in my deepest secrets
Dripping into a murky puddle
It shines so blue
Walking through the weaving path
And over up above my head
I see the moonlight crash
Unlock the key
Move the heavy door
Step into the room can't see no more
But I'm alive
The swan ghost cried
Touching while the sky turned liquid
Painting all the stars I want to see
And the movement of the air is so languid and so sweet
Take this gift I leave you now

Isn't it time to dine
Time to steal the power
I raise a glass tonight
Won't waste the darkest hour
It's what we've come here for
The vagueness starts to sharpen
It's what I'll die here for
To drink from the fountain
The sparkle of a dream
The creeping crawling wanting
I have't got a thing that doesn't ache when falling
And everything will change again
I make my decisions up along with the wind
Along with the wind
Along with the wind
Isn't t time to dine
Time to steal the power
I raise a glass tonight
It's what we've come here for
The vagueness starts to sharpen
It's what I'll die here for
To drink from the fountain
A resurrection light
The smoke from the magus
The beating of a heart
The love that bleeds inside us
The love that bleeds inside us
The love that bleeds inside us

Shadow
03:36
|
|||
|
Saw the light on
Private signals
In her shadow
I belong with you
I belong with you
Nothing could replace the face that shattered
Dreams are broken and I'm stepping on the pieces
In between the ghost of her and you is how I seem
Won't forget I'm picking up the pieces
Is her light on
Private signals
Should I wait for you
Sifting through the pieces
And in the hour of your open heart and my open mind
I saw the signals of a million different pieces
Reflecting light
And slicing up my tender ego's flesh
How I waited while my love was torn to pieces
Is her light on
Private signals
In her shadow
I belong with you

To Walk Away
05:16
|
|||
|
Teach me to walk away
Teach me to walk away
Teach me to walk away
The door is wide open and I've already paid
What I wish right now above all
Is to unthaw
What I want to see here
Is clear
Clear
Clear
Teach me to walk away
Teach me to walk away
Teach me to walk away
The door is wide open and I've already paid
Teach me to walk away
Teach me to walk away
Teach me to walk away
I don't wanna leave
But long enough I've stayed
Can't undo the chains that I've begun to braid
Like a fortune from the sun
It says come undone
Uncoil all the fear
It's clear
Clear
Clear
Teach me to walk away
Teach me to walk away
Teach me to walk away
The door is wide open and I've already paid
Don't know how to leave something I've made
Teach me to walk away
Teach me to walk away
Teach me to walk away
The door is wide open and I've already paid
Don't know how to leave something I've made

Learning
03:28

You can't do it for me
I can't do it for you
But we both need somebody to guide us through
You talk about virtue
Humility..
Which you expect to pour out of me
But can you hear this
Can you see
The reason we're in the same company
You can't do it for me
I can't do it for you
But we both need somebody to guide us through
I hold up a mirror
And you look away
There's nothing inside
The frame, you say
Just an empty hollow
Reflection of the day
And the dead silence
Is no reason to stay
You can't do it for me
I can't do it for you
But we both need somebody to guide us though
We both know somebody to guide us though

Miles and Miles
03:32
|

|
You're just one more
That's been put on a pedestal
And now the war is over
We both know who won
Residing king
Strong and powerful
You are you were you are you were
And now that you don't want me
Well legend says I'll want you more
But I'm the ghost
In your deadlock score
The illusion of your stature
The delusion of your grandeur
Are miles and miles between us
Miles and miles between us
And now that you don't want me
Well legend says I'll want you more
But I'm the ghost
In your deadlock score
I'll follow in the distance for awhile
There'r miles and miles between us
Miles and miles and miles and miles

The more I listen to this the more trouble I have choosing favorite track. I also still think this is witchhouse. Also I think your cover art is incredibly good. But I don't think it is best of your art anymore. I'll switch to Crush for a moment.
