Spider bite
Lightening strikes a random chord
7 babies being born
Purges / old man warns me of a storm from the north
I whistle/ flag it down
She pulls up and says ‘get in’
Asks me for the code / I pass it to her calm and cast a grin
Her pearly gaze is cunning
Deep growling in my belly
She opens the backdoor / ruby jewels in the eyes of a mummy
Pocket watch fluctuates / hands beating skin drum
Hear crows squeal / barbed wire with collapsed lung
Karmic map / flickers in the carnage
Worldly maze / crystal ball falls without a trace
Ricochets like a comet / I vomit and slowly sit up straight
The minutes fades into an eight and time becomes a different space
Thousands of cultures, over million of years
This place is older than dirt, I seek the cleanest of mirrors
To eat the mess with the vultures / to be a feast of our fears
Sensing my deepest desires / spinning a web as she steers
All you need is a bowl and a blanket this land you stand on is stolen / sacred
Pray for the souls tortured and warped by the war of hatred
Whispers ofall descendants bend echos throughout theses canyons
Just manage to sift through phantoms and listen tohear ‘em clear
Slick hypnotist dangles symbols inches over my chest
Stitching grids of inner star systems with every breathe
Left headless in the backseat guided to death
Approach the cliffs edge / blink once quiet and guess
How in the world did it come to this?
How in the world did it come to this?
How in the world did it come to this?
How in the world did it come to this?
Reawaken the present the future becomes the past
Resources taken by hoarders
I’m gasping, grasping for answers
The primal need in my heart to disintegrate superstition
Taking shots in the dark where the octopus meets the panther
That stalks in the psychic scape of all human beings under pressure
Blast
We’ve been tested for imperfection
They stick us with dirty needles to see if we’ve been infected
I’m feeling young and I’m restless
Leap in a pool of death
Pulled from the wreckage left with a sense of abandonment
With the urge to skip a stone across a sparkling sheet of glass
Ripples intersect / nerves / thicker than a rulers flesh / stretch
Silver snake shedding skin / dripping beads of sweat
Middle of dead winter, the shivers in full effect
That gem was meant to be stolen
That door was meant to be opened
That code was meant to be cracked
In fact I'm drunk off that potion
That kind that never could end, unless the crystal glass that I'm holding
Is a reflection of hope I have for this cities collapse
And in fact, I’m confident and never felt I was wrong
Until society showed me what was right / we waste our youth on the young
There’s a thin line between the lies that they told
And remembrance that I hold fully responsible for the kingdom I inherited
Heritage / carry grandparents torches
Ancestors influence passed on through variation experience
Cherish buried awareness / to even have the opportunity
To bear witness and participate in this web of existence
Invigorating as it is sickening / for me to live something must die
Check in inside / there’s no cure for it
Anything, anyone, everything / pathways myriad
In all directions in front of our eyes
Awake in the back / hunger pains rise
Pull off on the side / visionless
Stepped out slow / solid ground / looked up at that sky
Same light from the stars up above
Same light that flows from the depths of our eyes
Hold tight
Soaked in the warmth that we supplied
As we orbit around that truth that we found like
When we were young we both could've of died, but didn't
Galaxies in distance
Brought us closer in ways
It’s hard to explain
Through love we exchanged
It’s coming alive
Trusted the pain enough to remain
And mustered the strength to
Cut through those chains
A million more times
Dream worlds collide
We’ve been here before
We know what this is
How in the world did it come to this?
How in the world did it come to this?
How in the world did it come to this?
How in the world did it come to this?
