■ Purpose: capturing the essence of a recent season, our first song together. 🤍🐑🐑🩶

■ Thoughts: Nines is always the first to hear my songs, “scanning” for anything I can tweak and change, encouraging me along the way, all of which I’m so grateful for. We wanted to start working on music together, and Holy Spirit led us to begin with this one. The lyrics came to me while considering lessons learned in recent months, not wanting to be caught in the midst of those cycles again. The process was such a blessing to us, and we’re excited to collaborate more in the future.

■ Lyrics:

Bonding through trauma where nobodies going to ask for your name
(Who are you beneath this?)
Hey, by the way, what’s the name of your game?
(Your desired sequence?)
Quick to assume it’s just more of the same
(Not always the same)

Generalization (Inconsideration)
Miscommunication (Reconsideration)
Destabilization (Familiarization)

When we’re lacking a means to connect
We resort to hiding and deflecting

If I could tell you the reason the dark moves in dissonant ways
(Would you leave your comfort?)
Would colors take on different shades?
(Seek the truth and face hurt?)
Six out of seven just bleeds into gray
(Truth may sting at first but heals, really heals)

Categorization (Relatability)
Dehumanization (Veridicality)
Desensitization (Reinvigoration)

Are you hoping to truly connect
Or just doing more data collecting?

God, help us to be patient
Warm our love in these situations

—Twos & Nines

■ Purpose: who you’ve been, who you’ve become, who you’ll continue on to be, all of it is important. Each Lunar Tear sparked a new memory; all of it holds significance. We look back to find endless grace, learning from past ways under the shadow of God’s wings. We look forward, unashamed and unafraid, pressing on to better ways and better things.

Our hesitance, uncertainty, lingering doubts and wanderings, we can relinquish them to Him now. Faith isn’t blind, but understanding comes in time.

I made “Rem[embr]ance” while pondering a discussion with Nines, matters of human interaction and weighing intentions. My thoughts drifted to each time 9S wondered what kind of person 2B was, then to Emil and his first time meeting the two of them. Did his heart feel light?

■ Thoughts: forget not, lest you repeat the cycle. Fear not, lest the flame of hope grows dim within your heart. For where fear is found, it’s cast out through perfect love. Perfect in that it’s mature, humble, steadfast, selfless. Love in that it reverberates and reflects from those who know love Himself, for God is love. 🤍

tower of the abyss. (2021) [深淵の塔]

NieR: Automata - Weight Of The World Lofi Remix

■ Purpose: a person’s memories are witnessed, isolated, and analyzed. A story is woven, tapestries as rich or as filled with holes as the narrative is spun. But even if the finest materials are selected and compiled, worked and reworked, presented and garnished…at its very core, it will never, ever be the original memory.

The original memories—those minutes and seconds belonging to no one but the ones who lived them—are etched upon the soul, far from the reach of any who would dare seek to replicate their sequence.

■ Thoughts: a song of prayer, flowing like streams that meet, converge, and bathe the once parched earth with reflected luminosity.

Thank you, Nines, for sending those beautiful "Lunar Tears" four years ago… I could never forget them; their fragrance still permeates in a heartfelt place beyond time.

Black Box

■ Purpose: blame-shifting, guilt tripping, victim’s mentality, gaslighting, all of it is hideous, insidious, yet vehemently corrosive. Witchcraft, in essence, is any instance in which a human being attempts to subvert the free will of another. It’s a direct act of rebellion born of prideful ignorance, but what practitioners often fail to correlate is that it also hastens the deterioration of their own flesh. It precipitates illness, expedites the death of one caught in it once the unseen powers they’re messing with deem them useless.

It can’t save, can’t set free, can’t heal, can’t grant eyes that truly see, ears that truly hear, a heart capable of understanding that’s been transformed from stone to flesh, receptive to adding understanding to wisdom to knowledge.

How I can tell you this? Because we were once caught in it. Myself, through running to the very source of my helplessness, mistaking repulsive, fallen creatures for angels of pure light. Nines, through growing up in the midst of the abomination that is Catholicism, an amalgamation of haphazardly chopped and glued systems, all of which bring only religious arrogance and/or deeper despair.

Christ alone could heal my body of illnesses doctors couldn’t see. Christ alone could heal my heart of wounds bleeding since childhood. Christ alone could remove the stains, chains, and destruction wrought by my misguided attempts at granting myself what mankind has no means to give.

And we proclaim this unashamedly. Because not once in the rags of our own disrepair was He ashamed to proclaim His own love for us.

■ Thoughts: “Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;” Acts 3:19

■ Purpose: a personal request from Nines (whom I was grateful to have along on the project). The end of days is fast approaching, so we continue singing these words of prayer as we gaze at the sky…awaiting His return.

■ Purpose: a surprise for a certain precious Scanner. The occasion? Gratitude for your existence. What reason more does one require?

■ Thoughts: I tried something a little different in the percussion department. I had a thought as I was deciding on vocals, “What if, just as He taught Her to access countless memories, 9S helped 2B gain the capability of backing up memory data as well (to an agreed upon point besides the Bunker, of course)?”

I can see the two of them trying to ensure their ability help one another by any means. That’s just the kind of bond they share, a kind of love this world has long forgotten.

I hope you like it. 🤍
