Oscillation

Initiation from conclusion
Can you feel the energy?
Heat and cold, life and death
It breeds disparity
And with disparity comes change
Shifting and pulling
Ebbing and flowing
Witness all the chemistry
And as it radiates in waves
One day you’ll find
It drifting in time
Back to where it starts
The order of our universe
As fire burns and fades
New life sprouts in its wake
Wake
And though everything will change
The cycle shall remain the same
Backwards and forwards
Backwards and forwards
Everything begins again
Backwards and forwards
Never to settle
The oscillation

Nectar
08:01
|

Primal instinct
Downcast yearning
Built in synchronicity this
Hunger growing, ever slowly
Eyes dilated, stifled judgement
Mutual depraved arrangement
In my nauseous state I Iust for you
My perfect truth
By my humble misplaced faith in you
I won’t be consumed
Oh, won’t you please tell me that
I’ve a place inside your mind?
No I can’t be left behind
And while I wait for you I
Scream into the emptiness
As I’m made to burn like this
For I should know I’m just a
Thing for you with which to play
Your tempting flower draws me
Closer still, it’s such a waste
All this strain for just one taste
Taste of your nectar
Enter unexpected presence
Step aside in quiet acceptance
Told me I won’t be abandoned
You just have to see where this ends
O’er and over
Vacillating
In this agonizing pattern
I am giving
Up on you all
I need’s to know
It was real
Reeling
Left with no control
Only hollowness
By your selfishness
In your devious
Narcissistic way
Sapped my sanity
Just to feed your sick
Ego
Absent
Forsaken and lost
Seek benevolence
But there’s nothing left
‘Cause you used me up
For attention then
Played the victim when
All I wanted was
Closure
This fell entranced state of mind
And while I wait for you I
Scream into the emptiness
As I’m made to burn like this
Your tempting flower draws me
Closer still, it’s such a waste
All this strain for just one taste
Taste of your nectar
Distant conceit
Callous apathy
Now with how you’ve sown division
You will not find absolution
Once we had a shard of kinship
By your hand you’ve torn it down

Sisyphus

Please
Just let me take control
I’m feeling far from whole
In this Sisyphean false existence
Give me
One chance to take control
I’ll do away with all
This awful weight that I’ve been pushing
Wake
Suddenly
Open my
Hollowed eyes
Light through the blinds
It sickens me
Another day with no
Aim of mind
Requisite
Transience
And desperate
Weariness
Reprise, remiss
Resign, unconsciously in anguish
And at night I dream of purpose
Please
Just let me take control
I’m feeling far from whole
In this Sisyphean false existence
Give me
One chance to take control
I’ll do away with all
This awful weight that I’ve been pushing
All part of this process
I’ll do it again
Delusive and ceaseless
I’ll do it again
Reprise (reprise), remiss (remiss)
Resign, unconsciously in anguish
And though still I try
You know nothing changes
And at night I dream of purpose
Just let me take control
I’m feeling far from whole
In this Sisyphean false existence
Give me
One chance to take control
I’ll do away with all
This awful weight that I’ve been pushing
Fight
Until I take control
And liberate my soul
I’m doing all I can

Dust and Echoes
06:25

So displaced
Dreaming I
See your face
In my mind
Vast dimensions apart
So entwined, yet so far
Reach with me
Across our respective worlds
Pull with me
And we’ll keep our link preserved
Reach with me
Across our respective worlds
Pull with me
And we’ll keep our link preserved
Through dust and echoes and dark
You’ll be safe in my arms
If you keep me in your heart
Then I’ll be safe in your arms
Until my journey takes me back
And our projections must retract
Cherish this bliss and contentment
And hold it close ‘till I
Reach for you again
Feel, now and then
Us grow faint and distant
Though I strain, I cannot
Feel your soul or your heart
Just echoes and dust
Just echoes and dust
Echoes and dust
Reach with me
Pull with me
Reach with me
Until my journey takes me back
And our projections must retract
Cherish this bliss and contentment
And hold it close ‘till I
Reach for you again

Don’t you know your
Punishment is an
Unconscious limit to
Understanding of your black affliction
Immolation for your self-defeat
Isolate dereliction
Now see how you’ve been misled
Taken by the conversation within your head
Same decisions, same mistakes
Slip into the definition of insanity
I’ve fought enough to keep you out
Don’t peek to see what’s behind that door
Skin crawling, tremors in my fingers
I’m not sure I can resist you anymore
Shame
Of no consequence
Of no consequence
Just let me take this
Nostrum
For your delusion
That you might be clever
The antiserum
This fell entranced state of mind
Fell to my weakness
Every step that I’ve been taking
Halted and denied
Shattered in pieces
Watching as my state of mind
It ruptures from inside
Drawn and laid bare
Bathe in your sorrow
Your psychogenic trapped-ness
Dust and despair
All that will follow
Your suffering is meaningless
Just go away
Just go away
Just go away
Now see how you’ve been misled
Taken by the conversation within your head
Same decisions, same mistakes
Slip into the definition of insanity
I am your diffidence
I am your ambivalence
I am your wretchedness
You will bow to me

Oscillation (Reprise)

And nothing ever changed
The cycle is the same
Backwards, forwards
Backwards, forwards
Everything will die again
Backwards, forwards
Never settle
Oscillate
