I’ve always heard those stones
Falling into the abyss beneath my home
This once trusted foundation
Ruptured
An unearthed base
From below
A tumultuous convulsion
Rapturous clamor
Rhythmic expulsion
Convex pulsation
Tumulus tectonics
Subduction’s machination
From below
Support is no longer sustainable
These fault mechanics
Erratic
This house of good intentions
Sinks into the chasm below

Skin Is An Organ

The most sensitive of organs
Showing on the surface
The easiest to touch, to taste
The most susceptible to outside harm
To cause this yearning, longing, anguish
In demand, within reach
Immersion in lust and regret and shame
Soon begins the loathing
As it glistens, breathes
It haunts, it deceives
Then comes the grip, the piercing rust
It recoils, then shudders no more
Before entering its new state
Remove all others from within, dispose of them
Yet this one we polish, amend, cover the wound
Set it on display
For the onlookers wrapped in the same shell
And the need arises again in yet another vessel

Where will we go?
In which way will we go?
Where will we go?
Which way do we go?
Which way will send us home?
Which way will we proceed?
In which way will we see?
Which way do we go?
In which way do we find our way home?
Where do we go?
Where will we end up?
Which way do we go?

You keep searching for answers from your savior
Did I or Us or We invent these tales you keep reviewing?
Immersed you’ve become to this emergent behavior
This lesson by its end will surely be your undoing
This moral compass, surrounded by magnets
The inner me continually setting up the next phase
A deceased right-versus-wrong gauge inundated with maggots
Only attracting more flies of time in these repeating days
Magnetized by those magma eyes
Just sit back and watch him again materialize
Unsure of what, if anything, to believe
Onward we navigate into this vortex of lies
Despite whatever you hypothesized it’s been me all along
Every line, every time, I still have you fucking fooled
Having been in the planning for far too long
Never will you return to a place where truth ruled

Shards In The Wire
06:05
|
|||
This foundation in ruins
This delicate balance dismantled
A once thriving grid
Now smoldering in shambles
Sorting through the carnage
Exposing lines once buried
Further clarity is gained
Of the burden that is carried
A shallow epicenter
Yields decimation unfathomable
Every square inch visible
Now left uninhabitable
With these factors in alignment
They are bound to conspire
In this razed infrastructure
There are shards in the wire
