The Way Out

My last days will be spent inside
This cave
Sitting alone, I wonder
Can I be saved?
Searching behind
The wall of my mind
I am at peace with death
Where I draw my last breath
Fitting as any grave
Searching inside
Myself I find
This place won’t leave me blind
I pull myself to my feet
This is not my resting place
-
Captive by the darkness
I wish someone could show me the way out
And I will not live in doubt
I will not die tonight
This end will not be mine
-
My heart echoes in my ears
beating
Something has, found me
I hear its breathing
Is it me, it's seeking?
No time for retreating
-
Captive by the darkness
I wish someone could show me the way out
-
I ready myself to fight
Take a shot in the dark
Clench my fists, close my eyes
It does not miss its mark
-
Trace my steps back to them
Quickly
Return where we began
We find a path, we light the way
Now I see, I can say
The creature was once a man
-
Captive by the darkness
I wish someone could show me the way out
And I will not live in doubt
I will not die tonight
This end will not be mine

Blindness

They, they say
Let the light
Show the way
But when
Have you found what you're
Looking for
-
It's never easy to fall down
And harder to get off the ground
Can blindness be a blessing
-
They, they say
Let the light
Show the way
But when
I'm blind,
I'll find
My own way
-
Breathe
breathe out and welcome the light
Leave the darkness
Leave the night
Breathe out and forget fear
And with it sight

Beneath the Waves

Smoke rises to touch the sky
As you lay here on earth
The pyre burns bright tonight
While I pray, for rebirth
This new day without you
Leaves me breathless and frail
The only thing left to do
I will set sail
Tonight I will depart
With your urn in hand
Plot my course on this chart
Won't stop 'til I reach land
-
Set the flame alight
(Wake up from sleeping)
Mem'ry burning bright
(Still in my keeping)
Another day without rest
We fade into nothingness
-
Four weeks now I've been at sea
Don't know if I can place
Your ashes under the cedar tree
I wonder, is this fate?
There was no time to drop anchor
Before I ran aground
I will never reach the shore
Tonight this ship goes down
-
Set the flame alight
(Wake up from sleeping)
Mem'ry burning bright
(Still in my keeping)
Another day without rest
And for me there's nothing left
Everything fades to gray
(When we go under)
Sink beneath the waves
(No longer wonder)
On this day I found rest
We fade into nothingness
-
Nothing here, left for me
The tide will carry me out to sea
This voyage is my white whale
And with this vessel I set sail

Flowering

Shedding skin, molting again
Replacing inadequate memory
Hollowing illusions
Lingering impressions are stripped away
Burying the seeds to flower again
The merciless apparatus now deeper
A new dwelling is created, subduing the form
Hidden from view, unhindered it blooms
The structure has vanished
Removed from inhibition, a new genesis emerging
Achieving the fever dream
Combined reality and ideals
Impossibility achieves existence
The accessory flesh holds a new life
Carved out to begin again
The accessory flesh holds a new life
Carved out to begin again
The structure has vanished
