hiding in the dark
secrets disguised in dreams
talking in my sleep 
I'm fanning the flames of fortuity

all in me
we’re 3

Ouroboros

Purchase this track anastasiadarkwater.bandcamp.com/track/black-flame

buried fear in secret dreams 
rushing to forget 
thoughts given form 
seeking truth; eyes bound

let go 
get it out 
eyes open 
face the black flame

One, infinite, everything is truth
One, infinite, will is truth
Surrender
surrender
feed the black flame

Black Flame is also a music video: youtu.be/lDv8X-3TfpM

Black Flame was recorded in collaboration with Arkham Sunset and appears on Arkham Sunset's EP The Noise Divine. Hear more at arkhamsunset.bandcamp.com/album/the-noise-divine.

The Noise Divine

Black Flame

Purchase this track anastasiadarkwater.bandcamp.com/track/portal-into-shadow

scrying the black screen
caught between
construction, destruction
cynicism is laziness, contagious
strip away
a piece of your soul

caught between 
construction, destruction

what are you afraid of
what are you afraid of
our shadow

scrying the black screen
pushed away, or is it me
caught between 
isolated, never free
caught between
construction, destruction
caught between
isolated, never free

what are you afraid of
what are you afraid of
our shadow

Portal Into Shadow was recorded in collaboration with Arkham Sunset. This track is on Arkham Sunset's EP The Noise Divine. Hear more at arkhamsunset.bandcamp.com/album/the-noise-divine.

Portal Into Shadow

Purchase this track anastasiadarkwater.bandcamp.com/track/light-like-stars

My path never yields
I am one in destiny
I walk with Mars ascending
scorpio moon dripping light like stars
light like stars
(into oblivion)

I walk with Mars ascending
willing into shadow

darkness 
absorbed 
transmuted
exhaled
(into oblivion)
infinite
(darkness)

Honour your path, and live in accordance with your true will. Always.

Chaos Seeking Grey

Purchase this track at anastasiadarkwater.bandcamp.com/track/sacrifice

I sacrifice my vanity
I accept my shadow 
upon the ashes of lies 
I cast you out sleepwalker

I release from this karmic cycle
I complete this lesson

I remember 
re-member
awaken
(one, none, god)

set me back to womb
born again

I remember 
re-member
I open to my power
(I am that I am)

I sacrifice my vanity
I accept my shadow
I open to my power
I open to my true will

I remember
re-member
awaken
I am that I am 

New moon in Scorpio ritual release.
Leave behind what no longer serves and re-member, remember, awaken to truth.

Sacrifice

A love song to the Divine Masculine, signed, the Divine Feminine

Lyrics
false phallus fallacy
looking for an idol (false)
looking for an idol in our image (false)

pillars perceived perfect at a glance collapse
shame fears the monster fears shame
idol image worship adoration war
limitations void in the unisex nexus

I eat boundaries

looking for an idol (false)

embody opposites in trance
in form align divine
balanced in Source

I eat boundaries
looking for an idol (false)

embody opposites entrance
inform align divine
balanced in Source

looking for an idol (false)

vessels visage vacant at a glance contracts
shame feeds the monster feeds shame
viral image nation veneration lore
invocations void in the unisex nexus

I eat boundaries

Idolatry

I see inside you
all you hide
you will never find 
what you want

this pain is all you have
this pain is all you deserve
(you will never find / you are never fine)
this pain is all you have
(you will never find) 
this pain is all you deserve
(you will never find what you want)

you find nothing inside

Nothing Inside (demo)

sometimes I wonder if any of it was real
what you said
how you felt 
your tears
or if you were just a dream

would I sleep just to find you
would I sleep just to touch you
would I sleep just to kiss you
would I sleep just to hold you 
would I sleep just to fuck you
would I sleep just to taste you
would I sleep just to hold you
would I?

if you were a dream
just a dream
slipping through my memory 

just a dream
would I (sleep)
just to find you
if you were a dream
just a dream
would I sleep just to hold you 
just a dream
if you were just a dream
just a dream

just a dream slipping through my memory

Just A Dream

Just A Dream (demo)

Purchase this track anastasiadarkwater.bandcamp.com/track/pain-is-a-drug

pain is a drug you cannot see
what we fear, what we need

inside you inside me
blind to mutual suffering
inside you inside me
content in our apathy

filling the void inside of me
filling the void…
