Stutter, my silent eloquence A ribbon piercing in the darkness Scrawl in script the crux of my abyss Before the days get grim. I'm screaming lullabies to keep in grace Wrapping my seeping wounds in lace And scratching; clawing; tearing at my face Hoping I don't grow dim. Velvet ebon nothingness Bane of everything I am Skip the trepidation And take me by the hand. Ageless youth of mine Tear out my eyes So beautiful to hypnotize Dead from the very stem. I can see The end Of ourselves It's in our nature To fade We're created To fade From birth To earth. From birth To earth...

Emergence 16:06
And I awoke to the sweetest dream That I had ever known Halfway between bliss and reverence I kept my one eye closed. Shades of black and blue and Blurring amber are my home But lured am I from the vastness of My solitude to roam Now waging integrity against malice The most brutal struggle that I can't control I awake to the sweetest dream That I've ever known And I awoke... And I awoke... The sound of waves never heard before Led to lead myself to a new world All my scales peel off My lungs pump frantically And I find that suddenly My mind has been purged free Clutched by shock and burned I always wake desperately Up to the sweetest dream Under the waves the world was dark But aeons later I have emerged. My scales peel off, my lungs pump frantically And I find my mind has been purged Rising transfixed by a call I neither hear nor understand I seclude myself to task and heart And storm the sacred grounds of man Each breath is like the first Each glimpse is a revelation And with each step I am Awakening Emerge and evolve (Row) Immerse and reclaim (Row)

Inhabitant 07:38
Pretentious have I become In my sepulcherous reign With the hubris of a lich king I have grown blind and jaded Through housefire and mutiny I have been taught A midnight coronation For a lord unsought.
5.
Cold and lifeless mechanism Cease the tampering thrust upon me now I would bleed to fill eight cups Before I see the clock as counting down Darkness does descend so fluidly As though the moon had Slain the Son of all that you do mourn All of the force of my life Flows out now Out into the liquid dark And if you had not tricked me Into a stupor you wouldn't have met your Mark (Fear. Regret .Misery.) I bid you inherit these words Misconceptions of reality Make the greatest eulogies Mark my words You will not succeed in your conquest For I created you.
6.
I walk in dissonance I am nothingness Inside is a void I leap just to Soak up the fall Immersion thus I embark Once more shrouded in the dark Depth and pressure tide and change Crown me king I must immerse and reclaim
