Earth and sea spinning as a myriad
Of iridescent splashes of light
And each thing, both so near and out of grasp
As I begin my journey through the void
Dissolving streams of silver space
Bones and flesh and skin
The iris
And the world is in focus
Easing the drowning and the limbs and the latch
Moons, chanting and rituals
The furnace, lead, quicksilver
For we are reborn
And thrown outside alone
As if we were sick beasts
But it will be worth it
I caught a glimpse of you on the other side
Dislocated tendrils and electric sparks
In the naked truth
The innocence we left behind
At the beginning of the path

All the gnosis and cypher
Is just a way to hide
How simply it all works
God is a mask
Millennia of History — The mirror
Endless prayers of tongue speakers
Rambles and nonsense
Only to get back to the first truth
Willing is being
An irruption of the clamor
Beware of the unknown
Because it is written in the uncharted space
There be dragons
Knowledge is the poison we're feeding our souls with
Now that everything is tainted
What has been birthed can no longer hold
The promise of uncertainty
It has been foretold
Everything converges
Everything leads to the same end
Every journey's the same

You’re the one constant
Over the variations of me
With you just being here
You create purpose out of thin air
Extracting
Condensing
Concentrating the spirit
Over one hot flame
I’m not decent
I just needed you to tip the scales
I wouldn’t have settled for anything less
I’ve always been a black hole
Sucking you in
Sucking the light out
Until nothing is left but a flicker
Always on the verge of collapsing us both
Into the dark matter of despair
You’re the one constant
Over the variations of me

Beyond whatever force I may apply
I can't go back and undo what's been done
The perniciousness of the passing of the years
I entrench myself in the same doubt
We otherwise call maturity
I need to go upstream
With the knowledge of things to come
Where everything happens at once
The flesh from my limbs
My fate and my doomed bliss
In the infinities of the void
For everything is said and done
And the price to pay's too high
The learnings too harsh
Being is feeling is suffering
Being is a transitional state
From the void to the void

I know it will take time
Only time can heal
Only time can rot
What's so deeply ingrained
can't just be uprooted
No matter how much strength
No matter how much rain and ice, and lightening
There won't be any storm
It's already come and gone
You just delude yourself
You never reaped what was laid bare
You trampled it underfoot
Does it matter how much shattered?
How much injured, sick and helpless?
You're just either one or the other
And my side has been chosen for me
long before you came

As Above, So below
06:43

Where are you now that I need you most
I always need you most
The veil of time has been dissolved
A perfect synchronicity
As above, so below
I never chose
There never was a choice
I hope you'll stay
For I'll be traveling the underworld
I've never been what you wanted most
I was only what you needed most
And I can't talk to you anymore
For you don't exist anymore
Please don't stay away too long
It was pretty pleasant while you were here
With me
For us both

And now we're stuck in the perpetual dusk
That drenches the end of the road
You meet me at the bottom
This pit was always there
Only a step forward to see us fall
And you took my hand
As I dove down
And each of our wings
Caught in the fire of the furnace
We're on our own down there
All colors have faded
Into an endless gray
And there is no comfort
For your hands are cold as stone
Your lifeless eyes in the shivering cold
Ashes, ashes around us
And cinders
Cinders, cinders where our hearts were

The ladder has been shattered
I no longer speak in my own voice
But in the clamor of those
Who came before and are to come
The sky descends in flames
I am unmoved
I can't be removed
If I'm no longer there
The sky flows in torrents
I can't be drowned
If I've already been submerged
I can't be overthrown
If I've already given it all
The sky frozen, illuminate
I'm no longer there
For the sun has left these barren lands
And everything's whited out down there
Everything's pale
The sum of all equals to white
It's not purity
It's the drenched reflection of our own emptiness
Where everything and everyone
Just exists for itself
And the absence of shade
Is an absence of light
So I welcome you darkness
The sky is gone
And everything is said and done
