SPINE
06:25
|
|||
bed of bones you’re sleeping
supine dream receiving
metal infrastructure
buried undercover
alloy fusing, feel it moving
sudden impact remain intact
burning light broken bond
born into a new beyond
when the dream’s recycled
what you feel is vital
sacred structure, sudden rupture
recreation new mutation
blood flowing to the brain
cold memories remain
stretch open to receive
feel something to believe
shiver shooting up the spine
broken glass and frozen time
as the body’s paralyzed
so the mind is sterilized

EYE
03:22
|
|||
fractured mirror looking into the brain
motion picture and molecular change
simulation focusing into the light
revelation looking you straight in the eye
stare into the eye
ever gazing but you try to deny
ever changing and we’re witnessing why
pale reflection whisper a silvery lie
resurrection open the lid of your eye
stare into the eye
reborn in suffering cycle
unleashed to a chamber of screams
from the Source to the mind’s disciple
scratched surfaces begin to bleed
in the light of the eye receiving
swift shadows of an energy seen
from the Source to the mind believing
sacrifice to the sinister dream
feeler = healer
leader = feeder
liar = cryer
seller = buyer
winner = sinner
loser = chooser
taker = faker
seeing is being
stare into the eye

breeding the danger
people are stranger
wearing the worry
fearing the fury
you still stare at nothing
time will show you something
oh it’s so surprising
as you’re realizing
buying what we sold you
living how we told you
you still stare at nothing
time will show you something
nothing ever took so long
just a waking dream
nothing ever took so long
living in between
nothing ever took so long
spinning by yourself
nothing ever took so long
useless stares at nothing
time will show you something

MIND
03:18
|
|||
mind is a mirror
shattered into dust
signal coming clearer
how to deceive what to believe who to trust
mind is a muscle
suffering abuse
thinking is a tussle
hypnotize, advertise, reproduce
let me put it down, i can stick around
didn’t want to lose, show me how to use
mind is a creature
syphon from the host
sinister procedure
digital dream every machine must have
a ghost
mind is a weapon
loaded with a word
brandished for protection
carry a lie living to die upon the dirt
gotta put it down just to stick around
didn’t want to lose now you gotta choose
mind out of control
thought taking a toll
body bathe in the sweat
what a fate to forget
your wall will fall
complete defeat
your mind untied
returns to burn
just don’t let them catch you slipping out
tell me are you feeling better now?
just don’t let them catch you slipping out
tell me if it’s really over now

HEART
02:52
|
|||
tightening in the chest
wearing what we ingest
body collapsing as the system folds
into itself
beating so slow—feeling you go
feeding the circuitry
into the artery
mangled machinery refuses to
resuscitate
beating so slow—feeling you go
living a life sustained
numbing the nervous pain
sigh of oblivion the silence will
erase your name
beating so slow—feeling you go
|

SKIN
04:52
|
|||
sacrifice paradise
inner pain entertained
seeking a solution
absolution retribution
busy dying busy buying
your arrival your survival
in the skin
all contained by membrane
reaching hand feel the gland
great hallucination
isolation devastation
screaming silence faceless violence
unforgiving if you’re living
in the skin
holding down to the ground
closing eyes leaving life
fever dream memory
shatter the reflection
no protection from infection
first hypnosis then psychosis
still comparing what we’re wearing
for a skin

BONES
03:10
|
|||
stone cold fossilized remains
hand hold all it can contain
edge of arrow
wall of marrow
undeciphered
none the wiser
carry the weight, bury the load
under the skin into the bones
stretch out skeleton reveal
body carefully conceal
fractured faces
wind erases
undetected
resurrected
lifting the veil, see how you grow
down from the sky into the bones
water to blood heart into rust
skin into dirt bone into dust
carry the weight, bury the load
under the skin into the bone

MOUTH
03:30
|
|||
tongue hissing chamber behind a layer of teeth
grind down the mandible hot spit underneath
chewing at the gristle smack lips between
sucking down saliva licking everything clean
breathing traces wind erases lung replaces
liquid dried
leering lipper toothless tripper drooling dripper
open wide
are you feeding the hunger?
are you craving the taste?
bite down on the anchor
fill a hole in your face
is it not what you wanted?
want a little bit more?
looking up to a master
eating off of the floor
the body’s a landfill dig and open the pit
swallowed up like a solder out taking the hit
throat open and screaming blood drain in the cheeks
gaping at the redeemer bow a head when he speaks
information infestation inflammation
voiceless cry
isolating dominating deprecating
seething lies
sunk teeth into power
jaw severs the vein
hear a voice from the jungle
whisper into the brain
still asking a question
can’t figure it out
see the blood of the servant
dripping out of your mouth
as you turn and face the fire
suffocated with desire
such a shame we have to waste
when the mouth has lost the taste
still feeding the fever
slip under the tongue
can’t deceive a believer
when the damage is done
still sipping the poison
instead of spitting it out
cold blood of the master
seeping out of your mouth

HAND
04:48
|
|||
finger dirty knuckle hurting
touching burning heavy heat
rusty razor escalator
angled grater tiny teeth
flexing fiber silver wire
magnifier look and see
surface layer turning grayer
indicator atrophy
sentient animal lost in the carnival
drunk under neon light bearing the will to fight
tightening in the wrist clutching into a fist
take a swing hit or miss no way out
reawaken swollen shaken
unmistaken memory
stitches sewing slipping showing
bleeding slowing silently
covered managed wounded bandage
hidden damage secretly
mapping bruises thin excuses
still abuses silently
sensory stimuli groping to gratify
reaching to realize hold and idealize
capture and suffocate hide and manipulate
pointing us to our fate - no way out
pulsing vital vein in vial
crooked smile comedy
human tumor bred in stupor
lethal shooter violently
power surges fear emerges
follow urges mindlessly
interruption self-destruction
reconstruction surgery
flesh and machinery blend into scenery
sand in the hourglass slipping into the past
stretch into empty space hand of the human
race buries its broken face - one way

LUNG
03:02
|
|||
oh ventilator the incubator
acceleration asphyxiation
oh vein collapsing organ contracting
intricate structure a sudden rupture
now that it’s visible you’re not invincible
my lung
oh heedless healer the false deceiver
the lie you suffer is getting tougher
there’s no forgetting the toxin spreading
the infiltration a slow mutation
now that it’s visible you’re not invincible
my lung
