Forest In My Dreams

2023 Singles

in the back by the engine bay with 5 dead orchids
and i'm just
sitting in the back of spaceship
contemplating all of the things that you said
playing in my mind on repeat
like it stays in my brain
the engines are malfunctioning
and the temperature is rising
and i'm still sitting here in the rear-most quadrant
it's about to blow and it's all my fault
i was supposed to keep watch
and notify the captain when it overloaded
but now it's too late
and i don't wanna feel this way
i could open up a portal to the edge of universe
and try to escape my fate
but dead or alive it's the same
i will always feel this way

alive-------------dead

I take my time
No end in sight my sight sees all
Eyes through your blinds
No one could hide from mine I thought
I take my time
this world is mine
get bent i'm sick
climb to my light

no shadow could fathom the depths of my adders
go back to the places you'd rather and act like they matter
winded from changes and from stitching the tatters
of personal space I've invaded, there's not a thing that I'd rather
dripping with terror and matter
im matted with splatter
im hearing the yaddering
haunting me after the years
I'm sick from the tears that I've wreaked
I'm feeding the calf til it's fatter

and I'll stay broken down in my vacancy
left alone til the beast is awakened within me
a countdown aching to feed
to be complete
to fill up the ground that I trample
beneath my feet
it conquers me
I'm starting to part with my heart
I'm plotting for bodies to rot on me

marked by the blood of what's after
left in a pit full of daggers,
feet full of stab wounds I stagger
to fathom the purpose of life
both for me and for everyone after

after the laughter has ceased
I'll be knee deep
in a sea of their organs and bodies
and all of me crying but joyful
and hiding from god in the dirt by the porch
and I hope that my people could rise to the clouds
but without me

eyes through your blinds (himalayan salt lamp)

A reimagining of the 2020 song "Devil in Disguise"
Produced by Dead Orchid

[LYRICS]
blood runs out like ocean tide
i'm just lucky i'm alive
almost dead my soul is rising
i've been waiting for this all my life

she's the devil in disguise
i can feel it in my spine
when will i realize
that it's time for me to die
i been at the edge for some time
but its time
i dont wanna jump but in the end
i think it's fine

i told you love you then you drove away
now you're no longer mine
i drove to your house and you told me
you're done pretending you're alive
what's wrong with me
i don't understand why
i can't hold you anymore
i just want you in my life

blood runs out like ocean tide
i'm just lucky i'm alive
almost dead my soul is rising
i've been waiting for this all my life

i won't make it through the night
i'm a poltergiest
my skin has been pulverized
no i'm not alright
your words cut through me like a knife
it's a nasty slice
you should take your own advice
and leave me alone if you can't play nice

lose control of everything you know even your soul
and when it's over you won't know because your brain has decomposed

i keep saying that i'm gonna change
but i'll always be stuck in my ways
i keep making the same mistakes
over and over and over again
it's so easy to become complacent
30 dirty corpses rotting in the basement
so far from death but so far from birth too
i could never hurt you
i could never hurt you (x4)
in life's serene embrace, a path of ease
lies the risk of complacency
with comfort's warmth
and tranquil calm we sway
a danger lurks when progress starts to fray
the comfort zone is like gentle lulling streams
can mesmerize and trap us in their dreams

i will always hold my tongue
and i will always bide my time
and you will always take my breath away
and i'll never get to tell you why
it's always in the back of my mind
i know it's getting dark but i don't care anymore
i don't wanna stay inside
i think i'll just drive off into the night

bury me underneath the floor
drag my body back to the lake
chop my head off and hold my hand one last time
stab me in the back when i'm standing in the kitchen
clean up the blood when i stop screaming
when i'm laying by the gravestone
i will die if you say so
you look like an angel

i don't wanna die tonight (x4)
without you by my side
i don't wanna die tonight
bury me on my own
bury me through the floor
chop my head off and put me in box
hold my hand and tell me that you'll never stop
put my body in a wagon with the wooden doors
nail the lid shut and send me to the forest
i think i found death but i wasn't looking for it
the darkness fades away and i hear the angel's chorus
and the seven trumpets sound
and i'm laying on the ground in the middle of the road
and i don't know which direction that i'm heading towards
i walk through the locusts and the smoke and the flames
from the bottomless pit
do i dare say your name? Abaddon
I'm longing for death but i can't seem to find it
the sun is destroyed and the waters turned to blood
the days turned dark and the green grass is burning
the horses are breathing sulfur

Revelation 8 & 9

This is a reimagining of a song I released in 2020
thanks for listening & enjoy

[LYRICS]
hell, pain, love, peace
(ridin' in my chevy)
death, hate, lust, greed
(ridin' in my chevy)

[verse one]
i watched a bubble from his blood surface from his brain
the man i speak about is me, there is no mistake
i often dream of death but death has never taken me
it's taking me an eternity to find out who did this to me
i hope that this is all a dream 'cus i am not a killer
my enemies look down on me and i can hear them slither
i woke up from my dream, picked up my gun and pulled the trigger
the man who haunts my dreams is laying lifeless in my kitchen

[verse two]
i watched a bubble from his blood surface from his brain
i keep a pistol on my nightstand in case they break in
walking through the forest in my dreams and they found me braindead
laying in the middle of the path and i'm bleeding badly
[REDACTED]\\\
probably been there for weeks, nobody recognize me
i know my demons are fighting, trying to keep me alive
but every time they kill an angel, two more arrive
don't look to the sky because you will surely die
