Lyrics:

time and time again
the face of doubt and thoughts
that bind me to this sense of a life
has overwhelmed my mind 
 its feeding off me

nothing has arrived
perfect the lies that tell the truth
which stands the test of time
I am now alive

mouth from which I fall
swallows me whole

this ruse seems real
though I cannot feel

seperate I
I become
all of you, all  of this, everything

responsible
for what I know

every, every, all the things that I 
know, draws itself, it's an illusion

artists of our life we are now
pollack like, color splattered on
the canvus is what we now breathe, LIFE
thirty three years of painting the days, nights, and experience

I feel it all
dealt from within 
 
I now awake
with body aches
despite the pain
I move on

on the spit above the flames of ignorance
spin again I'm burnt to a crisp

scorpion
poisoning
orion
bring the stars down...

the things we've shared i won't forget
the comfort of your sweet embrace
takes me home
the knowledge I have learned has come
down through the years, i'm still lost
without you i'm fading away 
moving on is always the way
one last thing I need to say

your thoughts are a  brilliant reminder
that it's all controlled by  will
though you are flawed  I still adore you
connected through the realm of dreams

Lyrics:

We are the new slaves, chains replaced by surveillance programs
log into our lives to know our secrets
private info sold to the advertising
minions apt to consume precious earth and you. 

Notice malice.

They want no thought, control of you
work hard then spend spoils on junk
no love, no art, more stress, more lull
keep us asleep till the end of time

Know this dream is a lie
know it is false

Corporate logos litter our lives
feed us poison, "natural" disguise
standards seen on t.v. programs
that's real, not what you feel inside.

Dream, sleep, consume, dwell in darkness

Embrace your fate tomorrow (Indoctrinate all your youth to bend will - repress knowledge - use fear - crushing the spirit of it all.) 

Over time you shall realize the truth is everywhere and it can never be, no it will never be, can never be denied.

One card removed collapses the whole
Soon you'll see the lies exposed
Bring forth a mass ego genocide.

Lyrics:
there are immediate sources that help you 
bow down and accept their law and you will find fame
it is purging its will through
"your art"
this gross pretentious grasp, 
tugs at the young ones; preaches its benighted ways
how is one to avoid this toxin?
Yeah!

give us all the hope
that one day we will 
be a star
the world will look awe as we walk that red line
hidden 
hands pull
all the strings; controls
your every move
the end is nigh

soon we'll all be cold
buried under years of snow

throw away
all of our thoughts and love
pretending despots infernality gone
it preys on the weak, the frightened, the guilty ones
hooves worn out, there is nowhere to run

know that this
Know that this can be
can be alt(ered)
altered in time

don't be afraid to express what is truly inside of you
express the real one, you...
cut the strings
and be free
mindful....Yeah!!!!

their world is full of tricks to distract you
see through it
then you will take it back 
back by force

before their world

collapses on 
your heart and your soul
pick yourself
up and then find your true voice and the true you
know this evil will not last, as long as you know that it is there to fight

Satan, Whatever...

Lyrics:

Let's just fall asleep together
Connected by what defines us
Know this is not real...

Tangled in embrace
Her body is beckoning
Yearning for my skin
No, this cannot wait
Grab me by the hair
Pull me in

Rife with allure
Her sweet seductive architecture draws me in
Can't get away

Turn around
Arch your back
Look at me
Let yourself go
Know who you are...

Fulfill your fantasies 
Use me for what you need
Pleasure...

I have awakened you
Slept through life it's true
Dream

Let's just fall asleep together
Connected by what defines us
Know this is not real...

Drifting back into dream
Inside are stifled screams.

Take me by the hand and teach
We are together in this concrete
One, as if a million, shouts out loud
Hear him as he gasps for his last breath 
Eyes widening: they scan desperately

Lyrics:

Present this for acceptance or
Present this for a rejection
Take this or leave this; take this leave this
 
To propose or to put forward
For consideration of all
To propose or to volunteer
To make a show of intentions clear
 
Act of worship, sacrificed life
Devotion to a god or the light
A drop of blood, or a bone on the plate
A coin in the well cannot change our fate
 
To put forth; exert
Present oneself
 
To attempt or threaten to do, engage in, or inflicting harm
The offering waits within mind
Attempt, endeavor or intention
 
The creation of the world is an act of thought 
New ideas quickly become our core
Branching out, as the arms of a tree
Giving life to everything we see
In the black pit of the offering
It has never been so clear 
The love, pain, passion and fear
Creates green blotches on a mostly blue sphere
 



To present for sale
To offer battle and death
Give resistance 
To present
 
To sight or notice
To introduce or present for exhibition
Or performance
To render oneself
To make a proposal or a suggestion
Offering!

The offering is here to swallow the earth whole
A nightmarish dream creating and destroying all things the world can bring 
Final offering
Death restores
Death restores all balance and harmony. (?)  I am like a beam light through a prism.
 
Present this for acceptance or
Present this for a rejection


The Offering

....connected through...the realm....of..our dreams.....

Transmundane

From Torrential Downpour's 2011 release "Connected Through"

Time passed by
what am I?
grain of sand
the vast oceans
humbled and ready, I walk into the transition
Condensed
light
 
My third opens wide
the darkness is a bright concept
I sit back and wait for my mind to rest
one last chance to accept everything
I sit back and wait for my final breath
one last chance to accept "I"
 
All I see is dreams
and what I make inside of me
empty feelings always confuse my dreams

Torrential Downpour, an entity unto itself, dreams and reshapes its own existence to live vicariously through the musicians it harnesses. Structured by the imagery of human, Torrential creates its arms, legs and body through the percussive force of Peter Costa. Using guitar and piano, Jason Volpe transforms his energy of pure love manifesting the heart and stomach of this holographic being. The lungs and throat, sustained only by vocal manipulator Prkr, naturally regulates breathing and filters unwanted toxins and energy resonance. All of this falling apart without the apt sense and control of bass player Matt Cece as the brain and eyes. Together, using a battery of harsh and hauntingly beautiful soundscapes, a voice and language are given to Torrential Downpour. A voice that struggles for its place in the collective unconscious. But through all of this, the soul always remains the same. A beauty that is unthinkable and unstoppable. A version of love you have yet to discover. Torrential is everything you've heard or haven't. Everything that is or isn't. Torrential Downpour is a reflection of you...because in truth, you are everything.
