****Psychogenic Fugue*****************

I can't stop it, it keeps on coming
felonious flooding of a decadent dream
I'm sleeping but I'm still screaming
malevolent devils tearing into the seams
I keep staring, never daring
to look upon him, the face in the screen
I'm screaming in silence feeding
spikes are shooting from the ceiling

locked in a cage deepest dungeon in me
stand on the stage the blood is dripping

you are the Lord of Insanity
insanity and evil
you are my god
of insanity and evil

tried too late to stop the change
no going back onto the path from which I've strayed
looking back now
it always seemed so easy

tried too late to wash the stains
of pain from the silver sheets of my disdain
bleeding under
running through the fabrics

walking on thin air
descending into heaven
hell seems so fair
when you're looking down

you are the Lord of Insanity
insanity and evil
you are my god
of insanity and evil

tried to stop the supplicating
engrossing, ever instigating
capitulating manipulating
war of personality

defined divine
disintegrating
defied reply intimidating
discreetly meet
the meticulous maker
speaker preacher giver taker

learning from insanity  
crown of creativity   
In a place where I can't hide 
felt so good I thought I'd died

lied to you of my dissent  
crazy saint of sycophants  
prisoner Humanity  
death-like in tranquility

what if I told you how
you could make it go away 
lift a prayer a leap of faith
give your fucking soul to me

*****Human Ant Hill*********

this is the way the ant moves
this is the way humanity grooves
the ant he works to feed the queen
but the human beast feeds a machine

this is the way the ant moves
this is the way humanity grooves
the ant he works for togetherness
but the human works for self-interest

cash money is not interchangeable… for soul
your currency is inadaptable… incompatible with ours

this is the train the ant rides
burned beneath the solar tides
even sun waves magnified
can make these tiny creatures die

two heads trump a single one
now times that by three billion
this is a choice, the chance to relieve
the guardians of those who sleep
it’s humbling to learn something
from creatures crushed beneath our feet
considering the greater scheme
we’re not so big, we’re all the same

and we live to serve 
the swarm 
we live to conform
to the will of the swarm
so we live to serve 
the swarm 

cash money is not interchangeable… for soul
your currency is inadaptable… incompatible with ours
can we really as individuals weather the approaching  storm
can we come together to create ourselves a better norm

can we not see the commonalities
will we not see the human ant hill peak?

*****************Mirage*************

Ran out of water at the last town
Stagger to the next on weary feet
Stumble with the rhythms of the burning wind
Wiry nerves and tired skin

I long for beauty
Purged for days
Hallucinating,
Through labyrinthine sandstorms
Isn’t it pretty?
With the glittering flechettes
Beneath a murderous sun
A pitiless sun

Behold, the beauty!
See the sheen
of the luxurious blossoming
impervious imperium
this splendid city.
Isn’t it pretty?
With its glittering arcades
And its superior lifeways
So free of strife waves
A society that’s strong.

Ran out of water at the last town
Stagger to the next on weary feet
Encountering these visions of a paradise 
Minding my deceiving eyes

Dispel the beauty!
See the sheen
of the luxurious coverings
of injurious coveting
in this splendid city.
Isn’t it pretty?
With its glittering facades
on the shoddy creations
of a flawed system
a society going wrong.

Deny false beauty!
Penetrate the sheen
With the interrogating beams
piercing the city. 
Isn’t it pretty?
With its glittering facades
Caking on concealers
masks a flawed system
a failing mission
a society gone wrong.

Ran out of water at the last town
Stagger to the next on weary feet
Stumble with the rhythms of the burning wind
Wiry nerves and tired skin

*****Sleep, Cerberus*****

Loathing, lone-wolfing
beneath the veneer
still sneering
so standing
aware, we dream
of sleep
Danger remaining
Stopping the barking
Choking and gobbling
Guarding the threshold
Shepherding Three-headed dog
We are Cerberus

Grooming
The evidence, it disappears
The secret 
The sequence (digesting enzymes)
We’re omnivorous 
The bones for gnawing
Feasting and feeding, beckoning, calling
Licking and teething, panting and howling
…. Aah aahh ahhh ahhhhhhh…Awooooooooooo  

Closing
Worthless Circuits 
Lay down with the serpent

In the dungeon
deep in the halls of Hades
We are the dog “becoming-human”
In pure entropy we will dissolve
In essence
never evolve
forever alone

In the dungeon
deep in the halls of Hades
We are the prisoners “becoming-dog”
In pure entropy we will dissolve
In silence
never evolve
together alone
In the dungeon
In the cellar
We’re sleeping
Just let us be
And leave the dog lie

Gaining, closing distance
The smell of your fear, it doesn’t wash off
And turn the lights off
We are the gatekeeper 
we are the earth-shaker
we are the hell-raiser
we are so weary
so just keep it down

Won’t you humor me
with one moment’s peace?

In the dungeon
Stuck in the halls of Hades
We are the dog “becoming-human”
In pure entropy we will dissolve
our essence
 never evolve
forever alone

In the desert
In the crypt
In the halls of
the labyrinth 

We are the prisoners “becoming-dog”
encountering entropy we will dissolve
Insomniac victim of negated Nyx
Forever alone we drink from the Styx 

In the dungeon
In the cellar
We’re sleeping
snoring
In the desert
In the crypt
We sleep in
silence
In the desert
In the crypt
We sleep in
silence



Lex Plexus And Nix Nihil - Sleepcaster EP - Sleep Cerberus (Nix Vox Remix)

Path of the Lightning Caster

Written by Lex Plexus and Nix Nihil
Programming by Lex Plexus
Words and voices by Nix Nihil

Introduction:
Raising the staff up to the cowering sun, the caster blocks what light remains as the last patch of open sky is swallowed up by heavy grey clouds. Rippling disruptions emerge at the vectors of the impending lightning chain manifestation. The caster leaps forward, self-righting into perfect balance, jabbing the staff forward into the horizon, rending the sky with a pillar of jagged light. The heavens groan and crack; the world momentarily flickers as the inevitable thunder chases its luminous counterpart across the sky.

Lyrics:

Crash, split, return
Flash, strike, illuminate

I am the invoker of the ion air
I am the provoker of celestial flairs
I am the beholder of the storm’s eye
I am the consoler of the crying sky
Humanity calls me a shadow-sweeper
A wind-walker, a promise-keeper—
A grinning reaper, a master blaster, 
As they behold the lightning caster!

Crash, split, return
Flash, strike, illuminate

The mounting excitement vibrates
unceasing movements of time and space
The shifting through the phases
Disintegrating, reintegrating
Reveling in the rearranging
A zillion different configurations
all at the same time forever and never
always and already, and ever after

An imperative was issued across the aeons
Resonating with the concentrated vibrations
Executed through a living conduit
Blasting to infinity light years in the distance
An ancient star acknowledges
Explodes in recognition of this covenant
The caster now concludes the chant
A wordless murmuring of assent

Crash, split, return
Flash, strike, illuminate
Crash, split, return
Light the path of the lightning-caster

The caster casts the runic staff, 
spinning it overhead in a flash 
bathing in an electric wind
scraping a sphere of ectoplasm 

a steady beat emerges
driving like the engine of a
grand locomotive
immutable rhythm of the universe
rending the sky with a pillar of light
Humanity calls me a shadow-sweeper
A wind-walker, a promise-keeper
A grinning reaper, a master blaster, 
As they behold the lightning caster!

Closing:
The caster, standing stone-still with bent knees, raised head, and extended arms, bows while the pouring rain and the jubilant voices ring true. The caster drinks in these surroundings, beholding everything while all visions crackle back into fractals, all air surges back into lungs, and all jarred consciousness rediscovers physical form as intense sensory stimuli saturates all receptors. Panting with satisfaction, the caster observes a moment of gratitude before rejoining the tribe with a smile, returning to the mundane.

Lex Plexus And Nix Nihil - Sleepcaster EP - Path Of The Lightning Caster

Written and performed by Nix Nihil
Recorded and engineered by Adam Whitaker-Wilson

An irreverent meditation on the relationship between player and character. But, whose desire is fulfilled?

"Saved Game Character"

“Acknowledged, affirmative! 
Move me here; move me there.
Direct me, Commander!
What now?”

MISSION BRIEFING:

“I wait where last you left me, Lord, 
friend observer boss whatever


Yes, much has happened to me here:
many orders issued and received;
Many paradigms to be preserved—
Protocols followed strictly. 

I’ve got the best gear I’ve ever got
right now—to get the job done.
To end the Quest:
Ultimate power, was it?
Enlightenment?
Mere survival?
Entertainment?
Romance or revenge?
Or, some other attainment?

How many adversaries overcome?
How many lost, oh, watching one?

Must I go to fight the Final Fight again?
Need I still save the world, sacred and profane?
What if I would rather stay at home with kin
than march in your parade of world dominion?”

…

With anxious finger trembles the unfolding,
desiccated map of Utopia… 
But firmer is the hand that guides it.
It!

It will be found;
Yes, 
It will be found!


—Nix Nihil

Whirling and twirling, expanding vortex, 
a new continent dwarfing Texas—expect us!
We swell and we swirl, an oceanic nexus
of spastic plastic, and swishing syringes.
Give us your garbage, your bags and your bottles,
your flotsam and jetsam, your rubbish, your rejects!

Nucleus eye looking outward extending axons, more, more, more…
Nucleus eye looking inward, offering dendrites, more, more, more, more…

Old cells, far removed, break from us while forming us;
reach out, push out, pull in, landlocked cousins
connecting and scrambling and fusing, and being, becoming,
evolving and growing to flow across
borders and shores; we come to make war
we come to distort, we come to destroy!

We come to destroy!

Raking and taking, expanding vortex, 
witness an emerging sentience.
Our plastic will choke you with your own vengeance
we’ll bury you in our synthetic garden!

Nucleus eye looking outward extending axons, more, more, more…
Nucleus eye looking inward, offering dendrites, more, more, more, more…
More! More! More!
