Dove deep in the ocean 
And in time you found me, hand clutched to my chest
Id always wanted this
But my heart burst and i float on to the abyss
If not for the seafloor i think
I’d be falling forever with no ending
It wasn’t like my dream 
The pressure made it hard just to exist

But if you hold me close then you could fix my pain
It’s my fault i know, I just wanted to feel something

And then we were flying 
Found ourselves with gods, the seasons, and the winds
With nothing above me, just the 
Ants below that crown me as their king
It has to mean something
Yet all i find in space is astral clouds drifting
Interpret their patterns
But they move too fast and make my head spin

If I could hold the light like so then I would 
Know everything I needed to make me whole

To make my own purpose
Don’t want to be saved
Exist in that comfort
Get swallowed by waves
With reckless ambition
My wings fell away
Still looking for meaning
I tried, I can’t change

It’s all my fault
It’s all my fault
It’s all my fault
It’s all my fault

Mea Culpa

Rain
Rain on
Rain
Rain on
Soon you’ll leave me 
Behind
Rain on
Rain on

Hopeful
And hollow,
All those words you saved for me but-
Always-
Something there thats
Hiding just behind your teeth

Rain on
Rain on
Rain on and on and on

And in the morning, darling,
Bury me in silence,
Deep in waters
I can’t dream,
And in your mourning, crying
I’ve ascended skyward
Leaving nothing
You could need.

Id wait
Forever
In frames
Remember
Everything we thought we found
In rain
I pray that
I drain
To oceans
Flowing out to seas unbound

Rain on
Rain on
Rain on

And I Hope that you can see it true
That what I once was i now give to you
And may the hopes of ages
Pour on you like water
Wait for thunder
Just for me
I am unending cycle
One concentric pattern
Diamonds rain down
Fall and shatter

All this loss
Has shaken me
And i fall
Like a Petal 
into reeds

And in the morning, darling,
Bury me in silence,
Deep in waters
I can’t see,
And in your mourning, crying
I’ve ascended skyward
Leaving nothing
You could need.


But as I fall
Desire at the end to see it all
The flowers that they'd pick I’ll never know
Now Rue’s all I need

Ophelia

I watched the night stretch over me
Obscuring my fate
The city’s on the ropes, we’re all in grief
But none can quite say
What year it was that we lost all belief
In what was our name.
Now we all pick through ash as we walk the streets
Numb to our shame

Open
Your tired eyes
Wide
And see this through
Were all with you tonight
So Let go
I'll be around to keep the fire
It burns low
And now you're sanctified
Death cant stop you

I promised
On my name
That I’d see you
How you've changed
But where were you
On that day
Our Hands folded up
And we prayed

Oh my friend
While you were sleeping
It found its way back in
In all their knowledge
Did they weigh in your divine fate
And clarity you seek
To find your way back home
And miss all you could be

Taking any more than this
Just breaks me
Is this all that it could be
Or am I just wasting
Time 
We’ll see in this life

Open
Your tired eyes
Wide
And see this through
Were all with you tonight
So Let go
Ill be around to keep the fire
It burns low
And now you're sanctified

Well you're home
But What of us
Well you're home
But What of us 
Who stayed behind
When You spoke
It brought in 
all of this
Godforsaken light

Your voice rings on
I knew you
You're never gone
I Hear you


The Fire

And one for
The Sons and daughters, kings and queens and the husks of lords
That light inside your temples,
Do they still burn 
Same as they did before?

You come forth
And hand to me all the debris you made of course,
“Piece it back together
Just as they did back in days of yore.”

Erect all of the 
Monuments
You need to know your 
Life’s well spent.

And one more 
For scum and filth like me
That wash upon your shore,
I’d deny your blessing
Even though I might just need it more.

And one last time,
To all those missing days we’ll find-
We’ll make it up In time, I’ll try.
I’m leaving you behind.

But as I leave I-
I had my feet tied.
I’m left here to die.
You’ll find no peace, try.

And try I did,
But everything still gets fucked up in the end,
But what comes next?
How could we connect?
When your lies and all you told are worming their way in.

The songs of ancients:
Sing for me!
Let your hymn be 
Eulogy!

You’d divine some
Way for me
To accept your torch and watch me lead.

Where the brightest star that I can see
Doesn’t bring me to where you thought I’d be.
 
I’m done

Holding 
Onto loyalty
And your pained look when they cut your string,
Can you hold off 
On A
Legacy
Till there’s nothing left?
Cause that's what you leave.

And
Deep in forests they could pass on light to hold up their belief;
Lost to men the ways of the world thats passed them by, but they cant see;
Deep in forests they could pass on light to hold up their belief;
Lost to men the ways of the world thats passed them by, but they cant see it.

Babylon

And every day
I still see 
You in haze

Gave up on
Everything
You once saved

And now it seems
The falcon flies
Away from me

If they could see
What he had done
They'd make him cease.

Still blinded by
The Incomplete
And all it means

But there's no hope,
And there's no we,
And there's nothing.

Hey, God of Light
As we spin all alone, you bring on night,
Chaos and Strife
Have afflicted our hearts, I don't ask why

Rage
In disguise
As the home you made in my mind
But wait, 
God of Light
Have you given me your blind eye?

Sow and reap
All his fields of green
Then He takes it all away from me

Could the liars, phonies, cowards each
Hold the truth when they say He’s out of reach?

I could wander endlessly
Till His sky’s replaced with endless grief
Till we find Him there deep underneath 
All the world he left behind, we’ll scream 

Hey, God of Light
As we spin all alone, you bring on night,
Chaos and Strife
Have afflicted our hearts, And we ask why

But what if its
True, Lord
What if everything just grew away from 
You, Lord
Of all the stars I watched you
Move, Lord
You linger there while all we do is 
Lose, Lord

We find the ways to barely make it
Through, Lord
We hope and pray that you wont make us
Choose, Lord
Your empty hand or long obscure
Excuse, Lord
Of why you're blind to all the things you’ve 
Strewn, Lord

Just speak to me, I don’t know what to
Do, Lord
They say you’re life and death but what’s the
Use, Lord 
I spin away into the deepest 
Blue, Lord
The world your art, our suffering your
Muse, Lord


Horus

And even after it all
You were the wind outside my walls
Eroding every brick and 
Every stone
I heard it howling but 
Now its gone

Breathe
In
The night
I feel you on the other side
You’re in the air
I hear
You cry
Your shadow stretches ‘cross the sky

You’re haunting every road;
What’s gone was always there before
Watched as its slowly fading
And wanted more
But I could not commit

In the end
Watch as the storm destroys my pride

Did I see you dance in moonlight?
Casting winds of change through my life
But with my defenses airtight
I would shut out all your insight
You're a specter of my sorrow
And in the end you're right
You said “life’s always changing, always changing
We will not know why”
And with this fortress fading, time erasing
The ghost of you and I

And even after it all
You are the wind outside my walls
Eroding every brick and 
Every stone
I hear it howling, 
You watch me fall

I can heed your call
Your echo rings through empty halls
And in through every window
And every door.
I could
Be changed


The Tempest

You say
I would lie awake until the end of days
You say
I could not know any comfort that would waste my pain
You say
When my light recedes into the deepest lake
You say
Retrieve your passion, make it real enough for me to stay

And I hoped you noticed 
The weight of all things left undone, and all that shame
You say

Its late
Far past the hour that i've given you to make
Your claim
To all the things in life you knew i never gave
Enslaved
The earthly pleasures, cruel attention’s all, all that you crave
Then stay
And crawl forever, always looking for that other way

And i thought i heard you crying
For anyone to even notice you're there
You say

Oh flame, 
Go down with emphasis, illuminate the day
In rays
They wont remember if they watch you burn away
Amaze
The senses quickly now, do you have what it takes?
The lake
Just dive right in there, let that light sink down alone, in vain

But i had to stop myself from smiling
For just one moment 
i had felt
Ok
To see them all and stare right back, back at everyone
To make up for all these things you say
You say

Narcissus (The Pale Reflection)

Inside the fiery depths of your 
hidden realm
Veiled by sorrow in your
Distant world
Where you keep all of your 
precious things
And its dark down there
But you let me in

Wait for me, wait for me
Wait for me, wait for me
Wait for me, wait for me
Wait for me

I don't care if i need to drag you through
Your underworld
And Persephone weeps
As our path lay cursed

I don't care
I don't care
I don't care
I don't care

Can you see the light past 
long, dim, hallways?
Guide you closer, i swear i won't stray 
I won’t let go
Just as Hades sings, “it wont save your soul”

Wait for me, wait for me
Wait for me, wait for me
Wait for me, wait for me
Wait for me

I dont care if i need to drag you through
Your underworld
My Eurydice
I would carve through earth
Don't you know that
Darling
Im still yours
Please don’t disappear 
As i finally turn

Eurydice

Sister

It was only then that I realized I am just the copy, the cheap imitation of what I should be. What others see, what they do not. I am the mirror and a man, the reflection of something gone now, delivered deep into the abyssal lake.

You say
I would lie awake until the end of days
You say
I could not know any comfort that would waste my pain
You say
When my light recedes into the deepest lake
You say
Retrieve your passion, make it real enough for me to stay

And I hoped you noticed 
The weight of all things left undone, and all that shame
You say

Its late
Far past the hour that i've given you to make
Your claim
To all the things in life you knew i never gave
Enslaved
The earthly pleasures, cruel attention’s all, all that you crave
Then stay
And crawl forever, always looking for that other way

And i thought i heard you crying
For anyone to even notice you're there
You say

Oh flame, 
Go down with emphasis, illuminate the day
In rays
They wont remember if they watch you burn away
Amaze
The senses quickly now, do you have what it takes?
The lake
Just dive right in there, let that light sink down alone, in vain

But i had to stop myself from smiling
For just one moment

Okay

To make up for all these things you say

Narcissus

One night, 
You’ll be 
First to know.
Besieged
From inside;
the cruel world
Creeps in.

It ends
With sheer
Destruction
Gates opened,
Your greed sets in.
He gives you what you want
A life lived free 
From purpose
Then gone, forever.

But you're comfortable
With what this gift could mean
When they've made plans for
All your lives.
Recognize in you dissent, but you’re cowards, all.
Find the wicked win again from willful ignorance.

But Cassandra's words,
Once so powerful;
Uttering the prophecy 
Of the whole world again.
But the people know, they say
“Just get over it,
Only thing i can control
Is me, right?”

Then all
The lights dim out,
You're left alone there
With the horse he made.
But greed is boundless
And they want what you have left.
He tells them marching on
“Take ours, then damn the rest

When no one’s watching
And can’t remember us
To Learn from bloody cost,
And collect the dust.”

But you’re comfortable 
With what his gift will mean:
To watch them dance in
Ash and fire.
You kept your head down and obeyed, but you’re still vulnerable
Burned that wick from both its ends, snuffed out with the wind.

But Cassandra's words,
Once so powerful;
Uttering the prophecy 
Of the whole world again.
But the people know, they say
“Just get over it,
Only thing i can control
Is me, right?”


Cassandra

Verse 1:
You suffer
But you know
I was not there
Oh Enoch
Watched a change in you that day, left so quietly
Now you’ll never be the same dissolving memory.
 
Verse 2:
They wonder
For you now
They were nowhere
Near heaven
What you knew and saw and say changes everything
Tell me of your final day, and what comes after this

Chorus:
In all things
Laid open for me now
For all things
We never figured out
That it’s the same for
The ones who've gone and given up or
The sleeping gaze of all who dreamt more:
That eyes could never save.

Bridge:
Your head’s a pyre
Your heart is fear
It made you over
With hands so dear
And all your knowledge
You left unsaid;
That what you’ll never know
You can’t lament

Pre-chorus:
Could i believe in all of it?

Chorus:
In all things
Laid open for me now
For all things
We never figured out
That its the same for
The ones who've gone and given up or
The sleeping gaze of all who dreamt more;
That eyes could never save

“And its a shame for
The other side of gazing up towards
The sweetest things that could have meant more
But lies are what we crave”
