Prophets Of The Sky
03:37
|
|||
|
they sang in whispers
you will fall to your deaths
a hunt for black feathers
they crucified them on their doors
the last birds
fled to the sky
the trees turned to cliffs
where the hunters fell and died

Terror And Longing
02:55
|
|||
|
a prophet cried with his crow’s head
“all but one be helpless
to watch the limbless blind bodies of their kin
devoured by their dogs
and tangled in their hair.”
to be the lucky one crucified
with no cross or nails
the stigmata are the eyes
to be crucified
with the thorns of affliction
to be crucified
with your eyes
The prophet cried
“Infertility, Death, Horror”
warrior of light
never read your rights
warrior of light
left behind

light dies
I was spared
too many times
to try again
my time is not
mine to end
the morning light
does not burn
truth is the gift
of life’s end
it is received
not found

“Let everything that’s been planned come true. Let them believe, and let them have a laugh at their passions. Because what they call passion is not some emotional energy, but just the friction between their souls and the outside world. Let them believe, and most importantly let them believe in themselves. Let them be helpless like children, because weakness is a great thing, and strength is nothing.
When a man is born he is weak and flexible, when he dies he is hard and insensitive. When a tree is growing it is tender and pliant, but when it is dry and hard, it dies. Hardness and strength are death’s companions. Pliancy and weakness are expressions of the freshness of being. Because what has hardened will never win.”
-Andrei Tarkovsky

There Is A Solution
05:40

how many answers can there be
for an old problem?
how long is it until a problem
is what you are?
how long until the solution
is a death sentence?
death is not an end
i’ve died a thousand times
everything you change
is a death to what you are
i’ve died a thousand times

Coeur d'Alene
04:25
|
|||
|
the lake your uncle drowned in
the house your mother died in
we are drunk
the desert you were born in
the mountains you had yearned for
all this time
their names were carved in concrete
the home where they were beaten
all their lives
the youngest of the children
carried the fists inside him
down to you
this is home
let go, they’re gone
but you can’t
let it go
I can forgive you
for all they did
to you
it’s all I can do
or I will carry it,
too

The Womb The Void
15:08
|
|||
|
my heart won’t stop beating
my body will never be free
it holds me
between birth and death
God is only here
before and beyond
we're alone
thrust into life with blood and water
the soul separated from the void
what use does god have for death?
what use is there for life?
the soul separated from the void
with blood and water
There is no death
There is no life
When you know why
Your life is over
Death is truth
Truth is death.
To know the truth is to be dead
To be alive is to accept

sunburned in the shade
i am guarded
but it hurts me
i can’t step away
i will tell you lies
I can smell
That house
I feel the chill
Of the snow
I will tell you lies
