And so the journey began, to whatever end

Fall Fall to your knees And scream Fall Fall to your knees And scream Upon the ground I place my hands To shape the earth Into the soil The air The sky The water If the roots won't grow I'll bury my hands into the snow Into the cold Into the end Of all I know Into the snow Death of my identity Ingest All The Gifts of our Natural phenomena Visualize Fantasize Realize There's not one reality Blindness Sunlit obfuscation Collapse And clutch at nothingness Revive Restore Relive Reborn Prepare for the return of the cycle And if the roots won't grow I'll bury my hands into the snow Shatter your mind Cut open your skin and tendons Let the blood pour To breathe again There is no hope The pain is unending Tear your flesh down to the bones And wither to the end of life Tremble And now it's done This is the end of all we know And still you hallow your sense of control Until the sunset falls Until the dusk rises The path awaits What will unfold Is nothing that has been seen or heard The path awaits Send it Send it Send it You took my hand And danced with me on the hills Gone Gone are the days When I could hold You in my arms When I could gaze Into your eyes When we could dance When you were here Beyond the stars they'll speak your name While far below the earth you'll remain After the sunset falls After the dusk rises The path awaits What will unfold Is nothing that has been Seen or heard After the sunset falls Fuck Fly Send it now

The fire in your eyes Like rays of sunset Fading into the sky At peace, at rest The fire in your eyes Like rays of sunset Fading into the sky At peace, at rest The fire in your eyes Like rays of sunset Fading into the sky At peace, at rest Summon the hounds And chase life Heed the call Break the trammels That chain our vision Heed the call Heed the call Heed the call Heed the call Heed the call The rain will wash away All our uncertainty As we ride Further from the dawn The rain will wash away All our uncertainty As we ride Further from the dawn

...Plains... 09:47
Transcend the advent of apocalypse And ride from the dawn As the sun sets on all we have known Alter synaptic pathways Search for the sky Fall down and see with psilocybin eyes Purge inhibition Identify the strain Embrace Cerebral change Alter synaptic pathways Sink to the ground Rise up and gaze into the profound Beneath the veil of mycology Waves Suspense of the rip tide Terror Of drowning inside the flash flood You see what you are You see what you've been You know what you've done And it's not over yet We see what we are We know what we've done We know what's in store And change might just kill us all Alter synaptic pathways Drown Alter synaptic pathways Drown Alter synaptic pathways Drown Alter synaptic pathways Rise up and see with psilocybin eyes Drown Drown Drown Drown And see with psilocybin Drown Drown Drown Drown On your existence Descend the hill To the unknown Until the end Your hand in mine Composed of the dust of stars That forms ourselves That shapes our souls That breathes the atoms to life Until the end Your hand in mine Composed of the dust of stars Unto the end Our hands entwined Fall to the earth Drown Drown Drown Drown Drown As we gazed out across the sands The promise of a mirage beckoned us Knowing there would be no salvation But just a memory of hope We marched on We staggered forward We crawled further As far as our eyes could see As far as our eyes could see As far as our eyes could see

The sands of time Illusions for eternity Discovering the senses Awakening When the hourglass falls Who will collect it all When the hourglass fails What will prevail Nothing What will Prevail Is just A shell of the past There's no More time To wait For a Change I Can't See The Way Forward I Can't See The Way As I look to the stars at night I can feel them beckoning to me Spanning forth as far as the eye can see As I look to the stars at night I can feel them beckoning to me Spanning forth as far as the eye can see As far as the eye can see I Can't See The Way I Can't See The Way Forward Will you walk into the snow And will you feel the pain That lingers with each breath you take I know it's hard to want to feel the regret you may have, but Please just know that you're the only soul I want to stay I can't see The way As I gaze at the stars tonight Full of dread as they're beckoning to me Spanning onward as far as the eye can see The end is fucking nigh And none of us are listening Grains of sand continue free falling Awakening Awakening Awakening The end is fucking nigh What we ask of ourselves Is just not enough Take me away Take me away I don't know if I'll ever make it I don't know if I'll ever see you I don't know if I'll ever make it The rain will wash away I don't know if I'll ever see you again The sands of time Illusions for eternity Discovering the senses Awakening When the hourglass falls Who will collect it all When the hourglass fails What will prevail There's nothing left but the stars tonight And there's no hope for you or me Grains of sand continue endlessly The end is fucking nigh

Fell The nightmare That captured your mind Let the dusk fall Abandon your time A funeral forsaken Obliterate the notion Of peaceful passage by A memory of what we Lost and cast into the sea Of sludge and smog and rote disease A history of failing To learn and not repeat the past We teach ourselves to lie And tread the beaten path to die We teach ourselves to fucking lie And there's no repercussions here Blame not yourself But ask who to blame for our existential crisis Burn Burn all the trees Burn Down to the ground And when there's nothing more Burn Just say we did our best To lie We teach ourselves to lie And waste each day until we die We teach ourselves to fucking lie And there's no solace Fuck the ideal Of faith that we'll find a better way To live To try To find A different path We learn we must lie And pray till we die We teach them to lie So they will obey Cast off To sunlit shores And leave behind the essence of youth Row To your demise Row To bitter ends Row To salvation Run Run Run Escape the claws There's no way out There's no way out The path is gone There's no way out And you shall burn Burn with the trees And return to the ground From whence you first emerged Burn A seed reborn anew There's no way out There's no way out There's no way out Burn Relive the fire Burn all the trees Down to the ground We bid farewell on the hilltop A graveyard of memories Your tomb is there And so is mine

Rajkumari 05:57
I awoke in a field of waves Past the point of sailing back Fear and wonder intermingled in the forefront of my thoughts For now, the plains of eternity were realized And the mirage dissipated Forward Lost The hours and eons petrified Truth Lies All Die Dreams Will Pass By Truth Lies All Die Dreams Will Pass By Walking down the fluid pathway The emblematic state of mind Return into the system A fixture of both space and time The effervescent dendrites Encapsulate, encase in light The senses have lost meaning And now we must escape into the night Escape into the night All light will fade with time So search throughout the night Down Down Down the hillside trail Down Down Down into the vale Down Down Down the Styx we sail Down Down Down the past travail Drown Drown

Spores 09:15
What is happening to me What is happening to me What is happening to me What is happening to me Gentle with this one Breathe Spores Cut off all the ties To your self Try not to struggle And release All the expectations you keep At last you shall see Burn And embrace The end Of Your Time Set it up And break it down Enter the hive Alter the space Alter the mind Alter the planes Alter the times Breathe in the spores Breathe the spores Breathe the spores Breathe in the spores Welcome to the club Is this really happening Is this really happening Still unresponsive Terminal juncture Rush the injection Restrain Siphon the lifeblood Transfuse with new elements Bionic immersion Synthetic occlusion Rewire the vessels Cybertronic evolution Modal revision Conduct a solution Euphonic submission The coda elusion Flip the switch Shut it down Reset Boot It Up Break the code Unplug Cut the cord Destroy Please, help me up Here, take my hand

Touch Reach for the sky Reach for the sky And when I get too close You Draw Blood With Your Touch Touch Touch Touch Paint with the blood Spiked on the leaves Paint with the blood Spiked on the leaves Release your hold I ask of thee Until the dawn Sun Set No More Light For Now The Dusk Has Come And We Shall Fold Away A Red Eclipse Turn from the sky Run from the dawn Paint with the blood Cast from the sun Paint with the blood Spread with the leaves You Draw Breath With Your Touch Share it with me Share it with us
10.
The last time we met Was our final chance To save us From ourselves Goodbye All that remains Is nothing more Than a shadow Of doubt I can't let go I can't let go You said your farewell Goodbye And when I see your face It's just a reflection Of what I thought that I knew But not of what you were This time I know how the rest Of our story goes Hello for the last time Is this really the end Are we waving Hello goodbye Goodbye When I see your face I let go of time Goodbye And when you smile I just do the same Goodbye The end is here And so am I We're waving Hello goodbye Goodbye Blur the lines The promises we made Fell apart Like the petals Of a dead rose Goodbye

Lazuli 11:53
Spread your wings Sing your songs The sun has set To the dawn And dusk has come To the dawn Forgo the past And fly to the dawn To the dawn This was never meant to be More than a pastime Now it's an obsession To the dawn That brings ecstasy and decline To the dawn No change will come If you do not embrace The storm Threading the needle into the eye From the maelstrom of dissonance Emerges the dawn Gone Gone are the days Gone
12.
Reflector 05:55
These reflections are deeper Not sure how to handle it Where does everything go How does everything fit Pacing from side to side Wondering what it all means Will it ever subside No one ever told me How tough these demons would be Now that they have arrived They're all I can see Walking out the door Looking at the view I don't see me All I see is you These aren't the same reflections I thought this was infectious Trying for evolution And it starts with a revolution I've never had a breakthrough Don't know if it will ever come So I'll turn the other way And see if I can run Fire an arrow to the sky See how high I can fly Chase it through the stars I wonder if I'll ever catch it from afar There's nothing left for me in this realm, So hand me the blue pill And let's see if there's a thrill Nope, just chill Hanging out in a field Watching the wind blow Pondering if I'll ever see the river flow Slow and steady Consistent, reminiscent, changing, fading, raging How did I get to this place again Seems like I might never win We're only here for a short time So why not have a good time Let's go to the place Where we can always keep pace We'll have to about face Change everything that we need to Make sure that nothing is see through Try to do everything we have to And then call it that new new I'm looking down at the water What do I see looking back Something that wants to attack So these layers I need to stack No time here to slack Do I believe in destiny Not really, it's unoriginal I find it subliminal An easy answer to the visual and the physical The unachievable, the unbelievable It's something that can't be described An illusion that is prescribed That drops in on a dime And tastes finer than lemon-lime Seclusion, delusion, solution, conclusion That's how it always goes Even though no one knows That's how the river flows Keep your ducks in a row It's a no-no To keep it so-so Do you know I don't think you know, no So keep spinning me up Keep shooting me down Keep on searching round and around and around Spinning me up Shooting me down Searching round and around and around Spinning Shooting Searching Round and around and around and around Spinning up Shooting down Searching round and around and around Spinning me up Shooting me down Do you know I don't think you know, no Keep spinning me up Keep shooting me down Keep on searching round and around and around Spinning me up Shooting me down Searching round and around and around and around and around and around Spinning me up Shooting me down Keep on searching round and around and around and around and around and around Spinning me up Shooting me down Keep on searching round and around and around and around
13.
Just once in a while Forget where you are And drift away On a cloud of revelation It's just a simulation A fraction of the truth be told What once was destination Is now forever hills Rain will wash away All our uncertainty As we ride Further toward the dawn To the dawn To the dawn To the dawn Fly
14.
Our Walk 07:36
The snow fell like petals of moon flower Blanketing the hills at dusk We walked through the trees, down into the ravine Our shadows mirrored by reflections You are You are the sunrise And you are You are the dawn Stay with me Here for now At least For a while Catch the leaves, and trust me, hold on tight We'll survive, we'll make it through the night And live to see another day And take our walk again Nevermore will we have to search alone On and on all the hours, years ago And it won't have to end For a lifetime Our walk Is home To me And you If the roots won't grow I'll bury my hands Into the snow Into the earth Until Our roots Take hold Do you remember When we lost ourselves High up on the mountain The sunset fell And revealed to us The truth
15.
Pastime 01:25
We are gone
16.
Run Run Run Run Run Run away when the dawn breaks A new adventure has begun Cast away on the morning tide And set a course straight from the sun Fly away on the morrow And keep on soaring just for fun Never coming down Memories and dreams are here and they all must be won Now we're going home And bringing back the times we've seen and shared and sung You better run Back to the hills Back to the trees Back to the beginning of you and me We'll run Into all the thrills Away from machines Back to the beginning of you and me We'll run We'll run Far away on a hilltop A place that we all used to go Look away in the distance It's the ones that we all know Laying down in the grass field The wind is taking up our souls I've got no hesitation To leave the world behind with you But wait, just you wait, the best is yet to come Stay aflight And see the world for what it is and what it can become You better run Back to the hills Back to the trees Back to the beginning of you and me We'll run Into all the thrills Away from machines Back to the beginning of you and me We'll run We'll run
17.
Afterglow 03:14
Here we are Here we rest 'Til the end of the night Fear not For you are here at last Embrace the change that is happening Here we are Here we'll stay 'Til morning comes 'Til the end of night Fear not For you are here at last Embrace the change that is happening
18.
We made our last stand on the hilltop The place we were meant to be I'll hold the memories of you in my heart And carry them to our graves 'Til the end Your hand in mine 'Til sunrise comes Death Is only a dream That once was familiar And drifted away The clouds opened up And sunlight poured down It's the end Of our time Cascading Dreams in trine Bring the rain Drink the blood Of the earth Come undone Bring the rain Drink the blood Of the earth Come undone Bring the rain Drink the blood Of the earth Come undone Bring the rain Drink the blood Of the earth Come undone Bring the rain Drink the blood Of the earth Come undone Bring the rain Drink the blood Of the earth Come undone Free yourself Send it now We are free We are home We are free Free at last Gone are the days When we could just stand by And wait for a change We must make it ourselves You are here So let's dance Atop the graves Of our past Cascading Memories To the end Free at last
