How long did it take to relive past mistakes and 
Will time's river flow again?
I was just a kid when I became its witness
Traded clarity for celerity again.

Brevity is a game without conviction,
pass around to find out 
if we become the victim.

I won't be the one holding on to your leash

Time tells on me

Demos

Celerity

rob me of all light
birth to bloom, rust to life
show me what it's really like

Distant/Emerald

old manes demo on audacity lmao

lyrics:

"progress is forfeit,"
or so we she would sing
relying on some wind to bring our Earthen tongue to air

Our old hope was worthless, 
a falter to beset
we were dumb and restless then, 
pious false prophets

Now I wake and shake in sheets I coat with sweat
(in every dream)
I recreate this life
(that she had left)

She calls me from the attic, 
"I think I've found our home"
She calls me from the attic,
"I think I've found our hope."

All I offer to your dying daughter:
Reach for nothing;
Save what you create

All I offered was laid out on our altar

Post-Avant-Garde (lol)

Find me lying on the lawn 
Caught sight of the black dog
Jackal, odds are the rags they wear are just for show

Come clean 
disappear
Melt with me
into summer air

While I just wait for you in the darkest corners of rooms we poured too many nights into

I know I'm never coming home

Is this really who I am:
a street rat
with alleycat bravery?

In the gutter or on the altar 
where I may be received

And I'm sure it's much too soon to call it in the air, 
but I've felt this way before, so
exsanguinate my lore
exterminate my love 
let my blood trickle down
into their trough 

I'm not waiting anymore

Jackal/Mother

she threw herself to the sea in an act of transitory grace
and i was lost in her found 

something ancient stirs in me, 
something hereditary 
I feel it in my formlessness
it's gene expression
It’s happenstance 

i'll rely on the stars to show me the way
they say it's a farce, but it brought a new rain
and i prey/pray on your grace
i will be found
a fountain of light where your voice resounds
as siren song
as swan songs  

i've healed too long 

in the captive hours and the time spent between
convalescent respite and detached meaning:
there is no repose

How do you sleep when your child grows out from your hands and summer bloom?
Know I’d love to keep you close if I had the privilege to
So I fill this room with ghosts and haunted truths
a bridge to life anew,
a pillar between worlds
That’s how I found you: in newspapers and magazines
Your face on the local news that seemed to speak to me
I buried someone once in a grave without a name
She took her father’s place
A loss I can’t explain 
I’d keep you by my side, 
Skin alabaster white
I know you fought too hard

I Will Be Found

these are demos of demos that i record just so i won't forget them. very cool.
