Behold! A world burning with grace,
Faces and images displaced.
I can't counteract the parasite intact,
Bodies dissolving without intellect.
We must grow from this tangent,
A planet becoming complacent.
Clawing away at the walls,
Bracing myself before I fall.

We fall
We Rise
Burning then healing,
We're scarred, but keep on walking
We suffer
We recover
Our bodies may break,
But if we give up, we know what's at stake.

Fuck this! Forsaken realm,
I will not let myself become held,
Inside these incarcerating perimeters,
Especially when the taste of bile still lingers.
I acknowledge, but won't comply,
When I'm invited with enticement inside.
I rather steer the wheel and flip this vehicle,
Then engage with the facade of a fable.

We fall
We Rise
Burning then healing,
We're scarred, but keep on walking
We suffer
We recover
Our bodies may break,
But if we give up, we know what's at stake.


We Fall

It is so strange,
How you have tamed me.
Something has changed,
Now I feel complete.
When I look into your eyes,
The reflection is saturated.
Whether it's my rise or demise,
You have always stayed.

You've always held a piece of me,
locked inside your dreamscape suite.


You are my novelty,
A skeleton key to unlock tomorrow.
Invite me with your smile so sweet,
We'll explore all edges of the hollow.
Effective like an anti-venom,
You cure all of my poisen.
Being apart is like tearing out fabrics of time,
While hoping that there is forever in this design.

You've always held a piece of me,
locked inside your dreamscape suite.
Places once vacant now contain pleasant memories,
Writing more chapters in this masterpiece.

You've always held a piece of me,
locked inside your dreamscape suite.
Places once vacant now contain pleasant memories,
Writing more chapters in this masterpiece.


Locked inside, your dreamscape!
(oooh!)

Dreamscape

Let the skin fall, your essence peel,
A revolution restarts, Time to feel what's real
If you look behind, you see the highway of monuments.
Shaking hands grow cold, Let the new warmth become development.

Terrified of ending to conceive a new beginning
Look into the reflection, tell me what you see?
Do you embrace the progress, or do you just begin to fall?
You can't go counter clockwise, you're going to have to face it all.

The image has been painted,
Embedded into the canvas,
Show the future no restraint,
Let your old mold supress.
Here I am awake,
Starting anew once again.
Letting my soul resonate,
Remembering to breathe in.

Engaged into chapters of tomorrow,
Let your footprints leave away all of your sorrow.
The mirror shouldn't lay appearing decrepit,
Not after dismantling the darkness inside of it.

The image has been painted,
Embedded into the canvas,
Show the future no restraint,
Let your old mold supress.
Here I am awake,
Starting anew once again.
Letting my soul resonate,
Remembering to breathe in.

Don't be afraid,
Don't become the frayed,
Don't be afraid,
Don't become the frayed,
Don't be afraid.

Painted

My dear, let us paint the skies,
In infrared and ultraviolet.
Let us look ahead of past demise,
Please give me your love to covet.

Let us pollute the world with our bliss,
Even if we head straight for every tempest.

My dear, let us roam the earth,
Looking for memories to cherish.
Taking every day for what it's worth,
Praying that this bond will not perish.

We will plague the world with our comfort,
Proclaiming this life that is ours.
This feeling that is our beloved resort,
Making this opportunity ours to devour.

Let us paint the skies,
In infrared and ultraviolet.

Let us paint the skies,
In infrared and ultraviolet.


Infrared And Ultraviolet

Press yourself into a mold,
Just do what you are demanded.
Refining your edges just to fit in,
Become a product of the branded.
You forget no one else knows you better,
Than the soul that sits inside?
You can sit locked up forever,
And become the next mundane suicide.

Break free!
Chase the knowledge that you seek.
Don't stay a puppet,
And wait to see what you'll be.

You don't have to lie dormant,
The world is just outside of your door.
Don't let your inside spoil and ferment,
Take a sprint like never before.
The inner luminescence is begging for capture,
Take the pen and write out your story.
Turn the page and scribble another chapter,
Find the crown and claim your fucking glory,

Break free!
Chase the knowledge that you seek.
Don't stay a puppet,
And wait to see what you'll be.

Break Free

Maelstrom

Tale Of The Vessel


Falling from the sky, in denial, I'm counting the stars,
My gaze facing away so I don't anticpate my bones splitting apart.
My breath is stolen from me, I can't seem to cope,
Inviting darkness to submerge my body and steal my hope.

Once living, I am now dead,
I am my own worst enemy.
Revive me, revive me I said,
Hold me close and keep in the heat.

My eyes, turning from a prism into gray, my world collapses,
No need to hand me a blade, I kill myself as time laspses.
A marionette stitched to my organs are tearing me inside,
Strings controlled by the thoughts in my head where they hide.

Once living, I am now dead,
I am my own worst enemy.
Revive me, revive me I said,
Hold me close and keep in the heat.
Now rotting, I can't see anymore,
My vision veiled inside misery.
I don't know what I keep going for,
But I'm not willing to end this early.

All of my thoughts are poisen,
All the things I see are not reality now.
So depressing what I let myself drown in,
All the weight of fear itself, waiting to eat me alive.
I suppose I have to claw my way out,
Tearing from the inside out, all just to survive.


Once living, I am now dead,

My vision veiled inside misery.

But I'm not willing to end this early.

Inside Misery

Supercede The Void

Once in for all, I will reign,
I will find the translation through pain.
Suck me in like a black hole,
Tear apart my fucking soul.
You wish you could be half the existence I am.
Dissect my world just to find I still stand.
Fuck your cause if it obstructs my own,
Even if it means I have to live alone.

Once upon a time I had peace,
Now it's dwindled into chaos.
Infected like a disease,
I must keep strong at all cost.

Once in for all, I will succeed,
I will acquire the secret key.
Banished into the world of the abyss,
I won't let darkness make opportunities missed.
Don't make me succumb to your poisen,
I want to cherish my time again.
Grabbing your throat and pressing into your larynx,
I don't want to hear your fucking pity.

Once upon a time I had peace,
Now it's dwindled into chaos.
Infected like a disease,
I must keep strong at all cost.
Once upon a time the pond was clear,
It has been polluted I fear.
Tainted by the shit of your demise,
I won't let your waste cover my eyes.

Once Upon A Time

Stained glass designed to colorfy reality,
Who needs clarity?
Making a mask for the inevitable tomorrow.
Foreshadowed sorrow
The water is calm, but will not last forever,
Hope is severed.
You can try to run from your demons,
No true freedom.

I am running free,
From this absence of absolution.

With all hope gone, death doesn't slumber,
Days are numbered.
Your escape plan has fallen to ashes,
Ablaze by matches.
Love can only do so much alone,
Turn to stone.
If you want sunlight from the rain,
Face your pain.

I am running free,
From this absence of absolution.
Evading can only deceive,
I need to break my trepidation.

I am running free,
From this absence of absolution.
Evading can only deceive,
I need to break my trepidation.

Absence Of Absolution

Once again, I'm still at it. I'm making what I love, mainly for my own benefit and therapy, however; hopefully you benefit too. There was a lot of growing to be done to make this album, musically, physically, and mentally. I could not have done this without support from the people who made every recommendation just to make it that much better. Special thanks goes out to Alice Wolf, Brendin Ross, Taylor Wick, Brandon Thompson, Bee Pringle, William Dallas Martin (my brother), my fiance, and the rest of my family and friends who contributed or listened and supported me in any way who are no less important. This is probably my best effort yet, and I hope to keep it that way.

Do You Love Me, Babe? (Produced by Catalyst)

I developed this project in the middle of 2014 to expand on my take on Metal in general and other varieties of music I like. Maybe one day it can expand into a whole band. Feel free to listen and comment as you feel necessary.
