Another throne is imagined
by an elder star
A so-called Lonsdaleite
with unarmored pride
Won't make sense inside
Nihilists won't believe me
Walking backwards upstairs
I'm sheets of ice lingering on steps
They once processed to the
attic where all politics
are kept inside, a safe with no
hinges, because if these
statements seep out, I will
increase pressure, widen the cracks
Damage from potential
to kinetic events
never wanted, trust me on this
Distrust my hands with your burdens
Hope that I am summoned
When the antagonist comes
And routines are done
In this house made of glass
By coincedence placed in
the eye of the storm, lightning stabbing
downwards, missed like fingers
until it's pinched, and while
this residence held by one man
Addict to breaking all
fragile objects, but this
He will need this
I manifest inside
Shards break and melt
Burning, merging, all from
nature and his destructive impulse
Distrust my hands with your burdens
Hope that I am summoned
When the antagonist comes
And routines are done
Anywhere you lie, it lies on you

Another Day Alive
04:19

I see you found the wormhole
the road to the unknown
to throw away the mirror hearts
You're walking too far
The edge of the sidewalk exists
but no one's survived to say
if there's diamonds at the end
The end always has sparks
...and they will burn
When it all hollows out
don't let my words die
Another day above ground
is another day alive
The only reason one would pull the walls down is
if it meant a thousand walls would be kept up
"Forever" is the longest word in any language
Please keep yourself from redefining it
...the legacy won't be undone
When it all hollows out
don't let my words die
Another day above ground
is another day alive
...another day alive

Spirit Guide: "Blurred on the moon with the after effects consuming"
Ghost: "So within the astral ascension, what says the manuscript?"
SG: "A-6 gel status 2.1"
G: "The spring edges line the wormhole's firmament"
SG: "Spring edges in that abroad and apparent calculationry"
G: "As the quasar oceans arise, what lies for destiny?"
SG: "Destiny is aching and sad departing"
G: "Well destiny, it is in need, we will mend it"
Alone again in this realm
My subconscious at half mast
Extraction gates, a million
Wingspans of a lava flow
The electrons and neurons
Crossing my eyes, reverse them
Contorting the perception
Until I'm trapped, The Guide shall set you free
The purple tape bullet belts
are trails in the fire road
Electricity in cycles
Self-powering with water
Coagulates as a ball
Loops of lightning past triggers
Dilute gravity until I am
given an anchor, The Guide shall set you free
Happenings of the past ask her to pull you
with the grappling hooks of dimension 9
Stable as the witch's claw eroded
I take it with me
There is good upon the frontlines
Rabbits fuse to form a clock
and the minute paw convulses
I'll throw my old jewels into the burning mouth

Three vials in the needle, I'll break it upon my knee
An old man in adhesive reins is never coming back
Slicing the evidence, you can only take it slow
In folders they are organized, set this one under "shield"
Symbols of the dreamworld decoded the next morning
were just flahsbacks behind a guise, the visage of a knight
Break ceilings, leave debris
Splashing through the floor, crash the waves
The politics
The ribcage
The hollow wood
The rue vide
Inside the bright light, there casts your shadow
After the solstice, sunlight becomes the axiom
the backbone, the substance
the prominence of phoenixes
Scoundrels with their footsteps create massive sonar
Born from illegal sacrifice, The Siamese sucks blood
Died in '76, a cult leader of himself
With screwdrivers and weaponry, he tastes the inno-cide
Mocking the stigmata, tool downward the collarbone
The slow knife through both the palms, ribbon around the temples
Released it, released this
Released the frail wheel, released him
Am I cured now?
I'll become a cure
Inside the bright light, there casts your shadow
After the solstice, sunlight becomes the axiom
the backbone, the substance
the prominence of phoenixes
Needed him to haunt me (to form the shield)
Desert sun never rose (to form the shield)
The letter L is here (to form the shield)
Peripheral cloaks walk (to form the shield)
Therapy was a screenplay, the masters had their backup
Delusion Hall turned up the wind, ulterior dual layer
Revived it, revived me
Reborn as a bird, revived all
Hands into the sky
I am one
Fingers into the soil
I am one
Planting the idea in the mind of my earthly shell
My soul heads straight to the ER while projections would wait
Spiritual surgeons come operate without a touch
Loosen all the understate ropes, new-oldborn is a success
Through alien spirit tech (I have revived)
Through watered idea seed (I have survived)
Through exterrogation (I have revived)
Through unblocking the moat (I have survived)

Parasite Krodha

Running out of my oxygen tanks, blinding inside
Shoving back my mirror's face, you self-inflicted me
Black hands keep stretching back, piercing the tear ducts
Burn laws, they're becoming ash, I'm turning the inside
Faces shake down to the core
Necks twist off of the shoulders
The deep sea is inside of us, but I'm singular
I wrote this screenplay and it all collapsed
all upon myself, upon myself
I wrote this screenplay and it wants to stab
straight through myself, through myself
Opening the conscious views, I empty my own
The ceiling below sea level, will I lose initium?

Friction Of The Grains
05:15

All of the legions are packs of wolves
Trudging through sand tonight, moon is out
The weight of pushing up the heat wave
Smoke following the sweat, I have seen
The wolves will hunt tonight, they are forced
Sand ripples to the fault, the world shakes
Smoke ignites the molten core, rotates now
Cities' dystopian fall, barricades
Sending shockwaves out, using the grains of sand

The Walls Hiding A Hero
04:06

|

As the binding walls become underpainted in times of need
As the corridors are growing new windows that you won't see
In time we'll find a place
to keep the floor steady
Our lives were meant to fight
for a privelege of chance
Organic lights, they must be found
Hidden behind the obvious speed of sound
In time we'll find a place
to keep the floor steady
Our lives were meant to fight
for a privelege of chance
Again I'll bind
I'll cut these walls
If were alive
We'll define all

It's a chance to freeze the flame
A mountain of lines is the only difference
You're better off taking the backseat
if you're afraid of venturing deeper
I'll fight it
Ignite it
Don't fade out for the gray
If it makes rain disappear
harness it all, clarity's balance
Appears the words: "divine inspiration"
Claw right at it, it would be solid
Look away
from dark days
Don't doubt your golden eyes
For every night, the sky had what he lacked
A handful of lions, the sloths would hold him back
Infesting here, the creatures leeched the air
For final sparks, he had to look elsewhere (inside)

I. Journey
"I was sick of the town. I was sick of the sun, the moon, every waking hour. I was sick of the future to come. I was sick of my past. So I had to leave somehow. If I were to die the next day, I'd better say I met different people and seen different places before I passed."
As all my pillars crash and burn
the shattered glass will yearn to breathe
As parallel universes are formed by decisions lost
As I pack up to rid my place here
As I find souls, I'll relocate
As I settle, I'll find beginnings
As I'm told stories, I'll find answers
I am rising, I am striving
to find the voice of fate
I'll hand him a map of the pain and the promised land
Miss the flight
The long way there
II. The Vigilante's Ambivalence
"I drove to the nearest metropolitan area. Known for its business, its skyline, and the hero that kept evil away. I needed to meet him on my first stop. I searched every night until I came across the shrouded figure. He wasn't strong and able anymore as I expected, at least mentally. He stood blankly in front of what used to be the last major criminal in the area. That's it. An immoral idea has faded in the hands of a vigilante. Though, he felt this wasn't just a crime boss, but also a human life lost."
Do you have any idea what it takes to hold in the guilt, yet the relief?
The trauma takes its toll on me
At the same time, the wrong had what's coming
I've eradicated the possibility of harm
Then did I not do right?
Then did I not serve my purpose?
Is the answer obvious?
III. To Transcend Or To Die
"I paid a visit to a distant relative on my journey to find answers. The cancer-ridden man said he didn't need a hospital. He had a spiritual therapy. He had these techniques in hand for years as a maintenance system. I was unsure about it, but he strongly believed this is the way out of his disease. Turns out he was right."
The disease sleeps now
No choice but to breathe fire
IV. Atop The Horizon
"Weeks have passed by and by some coincidence, I bumped into an old colleague at his house. Except he already left hours ago. There was a chalk outline on his floor. Poor soul had a lot ahead of him like all of us. Thankfully I knew the way to speak to him. He had just reached the astral sea and met up with the girl he once loved and still did. She too had left early."
Gone from the Earth but there's a rendezvous
On my way atop the horizon
Still allies since forever
We knew nothing ever happened until now
What's there to be afraid of?
Look at all the roads I've made
...let's trail-blaze
Even through all the feelings of distance and loss
Everyone we loved will move on and be strengthened
The man who took me from this life
will have fate take him
Even through all the endless grief
There's good in change
V. Smokestack Village
"I had some small talk with an elder who lived in a rural area. He wasn't always here. He once had a cheap flat in the city. But the smoke was acidic and the people were just as dangerous. He turned out fine once he left. I could see myself being like this in a few decades."
Chemicals breaking down into our lungs
Leaves are cracking, rust bleeds from armor
Industry pushed us out of our city
Opened my eyes to the much gentler town
VI. The Casualty Left Behind
"Why am I so curious about the diseased? At least that curiosity led to meeting another person, hearing another story. The boy had a rare illness which later proved to be the latest epidemic. His father knew the doctor. So that doctor tried everything in his power to save the kid's life. He created a vaccine."
It's what you say to me boasts a security
(In all the injuries, I will diagnose)
It's all a blur to me, there was room for the seed
(In all collected youth, bring it back when I'm old)
VII. Destination
"It turned out that I should be optimistic about the old town nearly killing me. It shaped everything. I wouldn't have been as mentally reinforced after all those years. I'll return, but I still stand by the fact that I've had my stay."
I've risen, I've realized
our past sculpts the truth
It is light to be the witness of the hammers falling on their own
Your scars, memories
are all part of
human perfection, sanctity of destroying beautiful things
The epidemic aids creation of the vaccine
The lava devastates yet hardens the surface
Scarification becomes adaptation
Obsidian moments will save us all
VIII. In Retrospect
We use this moment to talk about future moments

Ghostscape Dumont, New Jersey
Ghostscape was a project I used to teach myself music production, keyboard, and vocals back in 2012. Weird vibes, silly and
primitive yet sometimes dark and unnerving. It followed a concept about a post-apocalyptic superhero with extra-dimensional astral plane superpowers.
