Entanglement

Correlate and connect me to a new state of being
If love's path allows, show me a way to escape
Where are you
In this vast measurement we call time
which is not real
Place us at the moment
You both fell in love
In these darker thoughts
What if there is a different way
To see it all again
What if there's a different way
in correlation
If we go back
To the beach
A ghost just trapped in memory
You'll see
Tragedy will exist on eternity
In my darkest thoughts
What if there is a better way
I'll see you once again
What if there's a better way
Through correlation
While I'm still here - so fucking lost
So confused,
So many questions:
Why were we pulled from that ledge?
Why were we saved from drowning?
How am I here?
Why am I here?
How do I bear down
To keep pushing on before
unlocking the template of your being?
Now I'm holding on to this thought
That there's something else
A strange mystery before us
I'll keep searching for some glory
Implanted deep within
Reaching to a hand from a distance
Take us back to the beach where you both fell in love
Show us what's it's like to be happy

Cosmic Loneliness
10:54
|
|||
|
Afloat beyond the stratosphere
I'd been giving love away
I'd been taking love for granted
My head just above the water
Just to not be in this alone, float above it all
I'd done my time, become a victim to gravity
And the cosmos of my mind
If there is something to be learned
That every step is altered by this curse
And my will to find out why we're here
Just to suffer on for years
Now every single drawn out doubt
Examined, dissected and measured out
A pronounced bitter truth
Of failures, fears of a future where
I will always feel this cosmic loss
In every waking breath
In every bone and ounce of flesh
Layers of ancient greif,
universal loss entangling
In every hour and day
In every thought or word that's said
An old quantum sorrow,
Enveloping around me
And after all this struggle
The way of nature
I feel hatred coming back
I can't deny this comforting pain
And after all this searching for identity
Our minds are not our own
I feel hatred coming back
I can't deny this comfort in pain
I fear hatred coming back
I can't deny this comforting pain
Afloat beyond the stratosphere
I've been taking love for granted
Adapting to the promise of tragedy
An unforgiving vow of reality
While I'm giving love its' way,
I will always feel this cosmic loss

Golden Youth
10:09
|

|
In a far away open field
Beneath morning sun, free at once
Everything so calm, feel earth move
I hear your call
In this summer daze
Nothing is what it seems
Twilight fears
How could this feeling be real?
Now I know I will never desert you
We're told that all things happen for a reason
Poetic lore which rings true as we take our final breath
Phantom subconscious blackhole
Inhale and transforming grief
At the hand of lament
The grasp grows stronger and stronger
Heartbreak multiplying
Bereavement ever expanding
Stretched out through every dimension
Residual punishment
Character/experience
Built of torment
Stretched out through every dimension
We're told that time will heal our pain
A lore which is true once we take our final breath
Looking back at aeons in the sun
Endless golden slow dream-like youth
I wish I could return home to you
Healthy and pure
Season's pass
Nothing is what it seems
I will never be the same
I now float
So eerily close to the abyss
Return to times before anguish
I've been changing like a season
with surreal transportation through cautiously peculiar lapsed memories
I've been seeking for a lesson
in all of this deliberately beautiful and capriciously designed chaos
We will never be the same

Parallel Ruminations
11:05
|
|||
|
Weaving in and weaving out
Through a multiverse of agony
When we make our ascent to reach the cut - the edge, the end
Seeking for some solace in knowing what comes next
Last chance to see
It's our last chance to feel something again
Come fall with me into this rabbit hole
For All that we know
Blood cell written code
Chaotic and complex
Bathe the mind in faux reality
Multiversal agony
Threaded into eternity
In suffering, we look out to find meaning
To merge these bonds from away from here
Then we'll see that this pain was for nothing
And life itself is just a dream of someone else
The clarity to how we perceive our
memories - distort and fade -
Simultaneously
Our most precious sentimental
artifacts slip and weave
Into a mirrored realm
Heirlooms connected through a web of nostalgia
bound by streams
of parallel consciousness
Hold on longer
Keep seeking shelter
Desperate for knowledge
Hold on longer
Fall down further
Hold on, suffer, and struggle
For one more profound day
And who’s to know that there’s no further continuum
A place of pure imagination and ecstasy
These finally moments of consciousness, a new lifetime
Hold on - suffer, struggle, fall down deeper one more profound day
In suffering, we look out to find meaning
To merge these bonds from a
realm away from here
Then we'll see all this pain was for nothing
And life itself is just a dream of
someone else

Infinite Purgatory
12:25
|
|||
|
Unaware and naive
Determined to love
Written to nurture
A hope for a future
Now it's all gone
Please forgive me
I've been stuck here for awhile
Constructing entropy, from buried deep
Please release me
I'm imprisoned for too long now
Depleting energy, from buried deep
In the furthest coordinates
The dark and the void
In negative space
Lies of a god of regret
Now it's all gone
To segregate understanding and love
and slipping further and further away from what we believe
To compromise compassion and tradition
I'm falling further and further each day
Against this grain
I'm grasping for a hand at a distance
Must depart of this experimental routine
I'm grasping for a hand at a distance
Break this endless loop of disappointment
Correlate and connect me to a state of true being
If love's path departs us from infinite purgatory,
Find me a way to escape

La mine, c'est le lieu qui met le plus en exergue les disparités sociales : d'un côté ils sont des milliers à descendre dans les entrailles de la terre, de l'autre une poignée s'élève socialement ; d'un côté ils meurent par centaines sous l'effet des coups de grisou, de l'autre ils consolident leurs richesses. Cette dualité, elle traverse aussi Kentucky : d'un côté le black metal atmosphérique asphyxiant, de l'autre l'americana et le folklore héroïque. Panopticon est dans la lutte permanente !
