Natsukashi 05:28
Memories haunt me through these sleepless nights Sing me to sleep All these dreams left unanswered have taken flight Please let me be Take me back home where mornings fill with euphoria No worries to burden us Please take me back to paradise I long to smell the summer air filling my lungs with its sweet breeze The oppression of human suffering will conspire to deceive us all The obsession of human enlightenment will not be our downfall We all drown in a sea of apathy that feeds and lies My heart it cries out: Now we all must rise, break free We are slaves of the endless suffering How can we rise, break free, when we are slaves of this human enlightenment? Light shines near The end is here It’s not too late to reach for the stars As time passes we are drowned in it all Solo: Marchand Solo: Jeong ~The Fall~ If we reach to the end of the surface we will find we’re lost Wandering submerged in my dreams: eternally Reach out to find a new purpose then you’ll know it’s at cost We’re too young to move on ourselves Settling into selfish stagnancy

How can we ever feel alive? Numb to our worth labor as advertised Are we only born to dream? Is this what we really aim to be? We, the cognizant of our separation from suns risen from mindless teeming chemical fruit born conscious We, the blessed with a chance to escape selection of the fittest resort to hierarchical subjugation Arise to find a darkness overcoming all life In time the taste of triumph will be infinite Our conscience falters Look yourself straight in the eye: We will rebuild the world again I close my eyes and let the whole world fall to its knees When living is not to understand to free ourselves, is to free all the Earth I will not rest until I close my eyes Are we prepared to realize the fire inside burns alive? We, the wasted away born into chains of wage misled by your Pax et Lux survival is submission We, the scribes authors of all knowledge available but ignored the blood on which we build ourselves We, the enraged - but not enough for the fear of death is strong No choice but to kill or starve so we kill to prolong I’ll fight for you and be ostracized Until I end this life Solo: Marchand What I am is not what love demands of me What we are is less than we can be Set me free You and I walk hand in hand when all act in love Solo: Jeong Worshipping sacrifice Consuming suffering Wasting our conscience We will rebuild again

Impermanent 06:45
Silence! I can hear their wings below: a piercing lullaby of death Destroyer, I’ve known you from long ago You plagued me with pain I can’t forget You were summoned by the evening light draped in velvet roaming through the night four black horsemen giving life to plight taking vengeance on the right of life Onward! They pave the road to hell as we lay dreaming in deep sleep Forward! You hear the angels yell This right of passage cuts so deep The heavens open up, the sky is frayed They’ve left our corpses out to rot: our debt to pay Unworthy of our earthly throne, take our souls to the underworld Ghastly vapor forms arise as life leaves before our eyes We have succumbed to the underworld We are the nations whose dreams have crumbled We are unknown to the other realms Our seas of grief have devoured millions We are alone and we are unwell We confide tonight Indeterminate Take us from this life We’re impermanent Clenching the souls of millions They extract us We are incapable of resilience, sinful beggars! Can’t you see that time has absolved us? We are ungrateful warriors The dead beneath us say, “It’s our time to suffer!” You were summoned by the evening rite draped in velvet roaming through the night four black horsemen giving life to plight taking vengeance on the right of life In this life eternal we rise into one: the responsibility of the divine In this life immortal we thrive through flesh and bone The exclusivity of the mind Solo: Marchand Wake up my dear the skies are turning Embrace the night and embrace this life In futility we fight! The heavens and oceans collide Towards the demons of night Persephone’s revenge on us all (leaves us broken) Feel them piercing your flesh as you are forced down under Blade, sunk into the human frame You can try but this is it: all that is all that ever will be Plague, writhe at her feet in rapture for eons We confide to night Indeterminate Take us from this life We’re impermanent Solo: Jeong

Abandoned 06:21
Sober machine programmed in lovemaking motions Reminisce on love, abandoned For whims of working death cortisolic rage and wisdom The buzz of the road and wander this selfish pull, uncollective Push until the edge - yet no release from meritocratic crushing Love me, apparition Transitory absolution Palms grasped together reaching across the bed for tactile comfort, shallow Fused hearts to fill the void through subterranean pulses In narrow space between rush to the surface Confide and retreat together in love ending united forever Oh, hypocritical love tearing everything apart again Elope with me my darling Cling to my memory A love unfurling A whirling cavernous Catastrophe Solo: Marchand I will restore the order I will become unable to sacrifice Intoxicated we kill the love within us all Confide and retreat together Unending pain United forever

Solar Sea 07:36
In transit we orbit around everything we love, never giving enough attention to ourselves Restructured by others and full of fear that smothers Time has passed and now we’ve missed our aim Entangled and strangled We reach out to breathe but our gasp is burnt by the solar sea I’m burdened by this illuminance The Earth it turns so slowly as perspective closes in My vision has become blurry as I reach for a remedy Cut! this submission Cut me from this line of slavery and degraded minds Rush! Rush the blood back to my head so I can feel alive again Life! Let’s drink the elixir of awakening to restructure time and make everything ours again Rewind! Let’s rebind each lost chapter Each promise was broken Dependency on a single figure must stop because we’re only hurting ourselves. Obsessive emotion swiftly integrated as we are stars imploding Our timeline’s receding The Earth it turns so slowly as perspective closes in My purpose becomes blurry as I reach for serenity Cut! this submission Cut me from this life of servitude to the distorted spine. No! know Salvation, when the blood drips down your head Know that we can be alive again I can see it We can find the image if we only knew the way This haze is blinding me I can feel it We can paint the image if we only knew the range of pigment within us... The colors are distorting, twisting, writhing, and hurting me Celestial bodies are the only thing guiding me through this life, in time, we thrive through survival The Earth it turns so slowly Solo: Marchand My mind is spinning in this metropolis I must find a way through this chaos My heart it spews in clenched fists of the betrayer A collection of blood and anger is all I am What use is breathing with what I’m seeing? My wounds, in thousands, are ancient yet no solution in present We’ve left a shadow cast onto the journey of the other We’re responsible No care to carry us No love to marry us stronger Rip me to shreds Poseidon raise your trident Extend to the unknown Solo: Marchand The earth it turns so slowly as I reach for a memory...

Malaise 05:52
Solo: Marchand Entwined in enteric tendrils helplessly pinned to watch the enshrined violence: Malaise in me Open me! Split my Earth, my sternum this soul, this fire Empty me! Drain the marrow from these bones Restless, entranced We wait for change Dare to say to me about inadequacy? No flag to veil your shame Draped in righteous linens doused in empathy we summon the conscious machinery of death Eyes alight with the destruction of the other unfortunate Swims through our blood, foul a disease Misguided failed intention With tectonic strength I release the pain that claws me away Taught to paint the walls of our cells to obscure the suffering prisoners Why adorn your walls when you can tear the motherfucker down? Deconstruct me! Force me to find my answer Miasmic hand is choking Empathy won’t save the margin from ruin as we are not compelled to fight Who will die for you to step out and intervene? Who will die for you to stop feigning empathy? Violence will come and shake your dream this is prosperity! Why pursue upward mobility when deep inside you know you’re killing those below? Solo: Marchand Solo: Jeong

Spiraling 06:26
Watch as these two worlds collide and form the combat in my mind I cannot speak; these thoughts are deafening: spiraling chaotic refrain Break the divide (to materialize) Belie! Thought to life Sworn to die “It was the curse of mankind that in the agonizing womb of consciousness, these polar twins should be continuously struggling...that man is not truly one, but truly two.” This wave brings me under into the abyss Wind’s spiraling downward to strike my atlas This cave of blue color is echoing this: “There’s no vision so grandeur, you’re just not convinced” All our lives we were born to die Listen to me while I speak I’m so sick of the words of the weak Please listen to me, what I say is not evil Moral cortex obsolete as I stalk and I kill those like me Plunged into sedation cerebral My fate enacted Violence inside is violence projected They come by in millions, each color each vision Brought by liquid immersion Such destined precision Only by air and water will we find the gold… such a desired treasure I long to hold. All our lives we were born, sworn to die Break the divide: materialized Spiraling through all this change

Nightshade 08:35
Retreat into serenity Impede the weight from crushing me In Holocene’s end, extract me from complexity Replace Earth of its purity! Interweave me into all the sentient beings I bleed for the succulent savior’s second coming I was waiting for the sign of luxury within the vine We’ve ravaged in our greed emerald in true design Forest crawl to claim that left behind Considered the masters of a droplet of rain hurtling through space unknown As we fade away, relax humanitas Will you lay by my side if we drown in a droplet of rain Will you lay by my side my beautiful clandestine Rise again! worms and forms of fetid flora mysterious never known in man’s tenure: Rise again! Fossilized, interred, petrified in extinction preserved the mightiest hand of monarchs Innovation transformed to artifact to be unearthed from stone all trace of Homo sapiens Considered the masters of a droplet of rain Gods on our throne unknown As we fade away, relax humanitas Do not mourn us in the afterlife: a paradise Cello: Eden Rayz Our blood is all the same: a beautifully dark sanguine stain A sequin in the dress of a universal goddess Rain down, now and forever Terror is evolution’s careless hand spinning plastic forms to graze upon a future land Broken prayers spoken by cries of fear: “Nightshade in the rain: satiate our pain Tears of Belladona Born to perish Weep to nourish” Celestial darkness reign Rain down forever Our memories will reign Rain down together Now let me drown by your side Lay with me Belladona Sing to me Belladona Embrace me Belladona Reign with me Belladona
