Transparence 06:04
You are trapped in this cave for one reason Isolation, Disengagement Dwell Your senses shall become numb in the absence of stimulation Isolation, Disengagement Dwell You are left alone, to face yourself As the melatonin secretes, the mental patterns unveil. Exiting this shell, you are now removed. Now that you're at rest, you've eluded time. Removed from the masses, exposing your fallacies, derived into discreteness, the basis now identified, identified. Dwelling amongst the phosphenes subject to judgement Now do you see? Do you see? And now you're Removed from the masses, exposing fallacies, derived to discreteness, the basis now identified, identified. Dwelling amongst the phosphenes subject to judgement Now do you see? Do you see? Broken to dust Witness the transparency Now do you see transparency?

I can sense your discomfort Your addictions make you blind Tarnished Persist to struggle Unbalanced Decay Care given to none but the self Digging into a narrow trench Uncautioned Path of least resistance Trials evade Evade Feeding the weakness Transposed to inferno Your enemies surround you Flooding your passage Flowing with the river Past is dust in the wind No stone left unturned Linger you sinner To try ascend from this entropy Have you ceased to feel As you feed your dark side Your progress is in idle As your actions have spiraled Repeat Proceed Squander Absolve Until you find yourself peace Serene Feigned Serene An undead aberration Open the gate No longer disturbed from your craves Radiating abomination Feeding the weakness Transposed to inferno Your enemies surround you Flooding your passage Flowing with the river Past is dust in the wind No stone left unturned Linger you sinner

Expiation 05:50
You've arrived at your crossroad Violent denunciation All of your layers have been peeled Your flaws revealed Extinguish your suffering Align yourself, redirect Silenced mirrored noise Defeated by your conquering Hollow, lonely, paralyzed Return the tides, flatten the surface Replenish what's been consumed Divorce Restore Propitiate The seeds you had planted became weeds An innuendo, a reflection Your impressions, back to haunt you Now unrecognizable Thoughts of death have been a dream wandering in haze Fearful to ponder Remove the weakness of regret Pay the penalty Reach atonement

Gazing into the light Separated from my vessel As I inhale Noetic lightning Sound ever piercing I exhale my last breathe Passenger at the whim Passing through the planes Adjacent and parallel My viral gaze remains Synchronous fields amplified Dimensions intertwined As the networks map Convective currents neutralize Traceries have led here to a realm so natural Elegant Circled back, cycles aligned Summoned Take a drink from the chalice it’ll bring you light The apparition you see is your guardian They're here to invoke your memories Is this familiar? Returned, it is wise to rest The greatest adversity has passed Predecessors carried bloodlines filtered Subconsciously behind the veil Spirits of the dead descendant Relaying relations Do not force completion of the change Accept changes as you observe Accept rising of the sun Act only when you move gently Let things develop in their own way Wanderer attracted by the sun Return to the sage, your guardian Removed from aristocracy Gazing into the light Separated from my vessel As I inhale Noetic lightning Sound ever piercing I exhale my last breathe Take a drink from the chalice it'll bring you light The apparition you see is your guardian They're here to invoke your memories Is this familiar? In the absence of ego Darkness comes to a close Feel the essence Character Rebirth

Solace 05:56
Time restrained dweller Trying to seek comfort from a state of angst Centered Uninfluenced Returning balance Ceased resistance to courses of events Yielding, accepting, cultivation of modesty Let go of concerns about others or the progress of your worldly ambitions. Persevere in silence, let go of your reliance. Propagate across planes, learn to weather. Gaze into the sun and sever. Persevere in silence, let go of your reliance. Bear with your life as the earth bears with us in reticence and humility Indulgence in negative emotion; misfortune Resistance to events results in downfall Ignorance is bliss Do less not more Listen don't speak Ease disappointment Let go of concerns about others or the progress of your worldly ambitions. Persevere in silence, let go of your reliance. Propagate across planes, learn to weather. Gaze into the sun and sever. Persevere in silence, let go of your reliance.

about
