a state of urgency has come to me
upon the passing breeze and pushing ahead
it could be said it was an epiphany
a revelation right inside of me
there's nothing left in the way to ascendancy

Ascendancy

well it's so hard to tell
where she's supposed to be
once i sought to sell
my old philosophy
i can see her
but i don't know her
cause i'm a loner
in my own world
but it's alright

what if she's just a line on a page
and she's only alive in my brain
will i search forever in vain

It's Alright

took an evening drive to the edge of town
where we watched the day meet the frozen ground
in the vivacious sky
there is a fire in the back of my mind
we've reached a place so far out of time
dead center of my mind's eye

there is a drone in the air drawing near
and in it's silence i can breathe so clear

Dead Center of My Mind's Eye

in the nighttime
it's time to shine
in your mind's eye
you'll come to find
you're not confined
it's so sublime

don't say goodbye
you're not the type
you always thought you'd be
i always wished you'd see
you've been set free

surreal life
at half the price
someone lied
so find the stride
you'll suffice
it's right outside

Surreal Life

one day i'll find home
somewhere unknown
and i'll open my front door
to a brand new world to explore

but everything i've tried so far
has only led me in circles
and i oblige denied into the night
but i don't need that bullshit anymore

all that i've been shown
carved into sinking stones
i've never known before
just which way leads to shore

when yesterday i opened my eyes
i lost them in the sky

Circles

this dark energy has got me bound
i’m wound up and down with it
there’s nothing i can do

i want to know what’s at the edge of space
but it’s not my time yet
somewhere hidden in the future
all will come to light

gazing off into the milky way i
imagined i was a billion light years away
at the infancy of eternity

then i transmit a signal
a plea to whoever’s out there

i want to know what’s at the edge of space
but it’s not my time yet
somewhere hidden in the future
all will come to light

I Wanna Know What's At the Edge of Space

Anthropocene

nothing i
feel is real
when tomorrow comes
it's a whole new deal

and i
lost the road again
only then do i see
the ocean has swallowed me

no one i
have to blame
but the one inside
bathed in shame
