WE WILL BECOME THE REBIRTH OF HOPE

AUGMENT (INSTRUMENTAL)

DEMENTIA In the reflection of the water’s stream, I watch the current carry me. Irresolute and indiscriminate, this liquid flux is transcendent. A birth to conquered memories of sentimental quintessence. Learning to let go of oneself converts grievance into lessons. Your innermost thoughts appear physically. Cataclysm is bound to everything. The event horizon; there is no escaping, inescapable. Light speeds, black holes, time lapse; we’re unstable. To contemplate the unthinkable, break free from captivity. Envelope the atmosphere with magnetized waves of processed nerve activity. Bring me back to the river’s edge to bathe in consequence. Future events colliding, spoken of in present tense. The event horizon; there is no escaping, inescapable. Light speeds, black holes, time lapse; we’re unstable. Misplaced ideals provoke tension. There is no escaping it. Dementia in this dimension. Our neurologic fortitude has been broken through. All of the pieces once whole have shattered in contact with you. Dementia. In the reflection of the water’s stream, I watch the current carry me away. Irresolute and indiscriminate, this liquid flux is transcendent. Carry me away.

Interlaced fingers. The locking of hands. Omnipotence entwined with man. Alteration before conception. The pretense to coalescence to form this imperfect plan. Unconsciously bound to one another. Liberated emotions are becoming smothered. Dynamics of the absolute contort our narrow view. We were not meant for this hybrid birth. Inhumanity crowns the Earth. This hybrid birth. Momentum is your venom. Clinging to progress, we embrace the toxin. Children of the ancients, you’ve forgotten innocence. Unkept instincts, enslaved, inefficient. We were not meant for this hybrid birth. Inhumanity crowns the Earth. Designer of mystification. Imposer upon a fit creation. Momentum is your venom. Clinging to progress, we embrace the toxin. Children of the ancients, you’ve forgotten innocence. Unkept instincts, enslaved, inefficient. Inhumanity crowns the Earth. Momentum is your venom. Children of the ancients, you’ve forgotten innocence. Enslaved, inefficient. They breathe with us. They’ve bred with us. They are self-proclaimed behemoths. Bound by our own desire. Seduced and expired. Self-proclaimed behemoths. Bound by our own desire. Seduced and expired.

Our hands were holding our fate, but they grew tired. Everything we knew came crashing down in waves of fire. Strange hands over mouth and in hair. Red eyes from the water, gasping for air, rebirth. Blurred vision disrupts perception of this present state. Made new in the chilling currents that carry me away. Follow your heart and leap from the cliffs. Close your divine eyes to reason. Let inertia move you. Cling and be clung to. Speak and be spoken to. How beautiful you find yourself. Remove this scourge from where we dwell. You will be found in a dark place and somewhere through time and space.

Adorned with purity yet blessed with knowledge, contradicting what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been taught. Upheld in a pale light that burns my skin. I am the distorted one. I am a prisoner in this body, bound and chained to flesh. I am the distorted one. I am a prisoner in this body. A mirror reflecting an honest rendition. A faction following a faithless tradition. Your own body renamed religion. Our hands were holding our fate, but they grew tired. Everything we knew came crashing down. You will be found in a dark place and somewhere through time and space. A mirror reflecting an honest rendition. A faction following faithless tradition. I am the distorted one. I am a prisoner in this body, bound and chained to flesh. Rebirth.

ULTRAVIOLET

This high is all that’s left of us. A hallucinogenic conservation that without I am captious. There is complacency in knowledge and desire in wisdom. They will be found entwined behind the final curtain. Speak over me; body, mind and soul. Lose all self-control. At once, I’m sinking into desolation, overwhelmed by fascination. This common case I’m bound to face amidst this self-induced cerebral recreation. Speak over me; body, mind and soul. Bleed into the deep. Let go. We must lose all self-control. Let go of letting go and hold on to something whole. The butchering of a beast or birth to enduring peace. Infinite darkness or incessant ease. Speak over me; body, mind and soul. Lose all self-control. Ultraviolet eyes. Speak over me; body, mind and soul. Bleed into the deep. Let go. We must lose all self-control. Let go of letting go, and hold on to something whole. We are not what we seem. A living fiction and hidden theme. Allow the ephemeral ecstasy to course through every vein. This enlightenment is temporary and may never come again. Ultraviolet eyes. We are not what we seem. A living fiction and hidden theme. Violet hues are comforting, tracing through my mind, consoling me

SPIRITS AWAY

This lackadaisical mind, the cap to my spine, is weighted with worries for the punishment of all of our crimes. As graceful as the rising sun at dawn, you open your mouth but words don’t shine out. Entangled as one (Our bodies are two...) Spiritual deviation (yet my heart’s inside you). Entangled as one (You’ve swallowed it whole...) Spiritual Deviation (...like a ghost in my home). You’ve become mute in the waters. Trapped inside this aquifer. Everything with meaning is filtered out, and stopped from streaming. Entangled as one. Spiritual deviation. Our bodies are two, yet my heart is inside you. You’ve swallowed it whole like a ghost in my home, and I’ve tried to escape, but my persistence dissipates. Bring me back home because I’ve ran and I have roamed. My erratic agitation leads to hyperventilation (spiritual deviation). This is neurosis compelled by those I held the closest. Sweaty palms can’t carry on. Racing heart, you’ve played your part. This is the disintegration of my being. Love has either lost or proved its meaning. Entangled as one (our bodies are two). Spiritual deviation. My heart’s inside you. This is the disintegration of my being. Love has either lost or proved its meaning.

Undiscovered entities. Thoughts of inconceivable beings. Universal catastrophe. They’re relatives to you and me. Space and time. Emptiness lightyears wide. To discover the reasons why, we’d revaluate all our lives. Happenings that can’t be explained. The crawling inside your brain. Unknown toxins in every vein. Exo-galactic. Planetary sabbatical. Their design is tactical. Surviving is impractical. Our inferior intelligence versus calculating assailants. Ancient times of negligence. Eradication of our existence. Our races are being tamed. Undiscovered entities. Thoughts of inconceivable beings. Creatures that became our masters. Worlds fused from disaster. Realizations too late to matter. The descent of man begins the pattern.

Frostbit fingertips caress the razorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s edge. Cold ideals implanting themselves inside my head. Inadvertent gestures given effortlessly by my limbs. Complacency of warmth never sets in. This is an endless winter. One where the air gets thinner. A proclamation to the clement seasons. War without a rhyme or reason. Turmoil is elemental and so simplistic a feature. Though personal and integral, I cannot bear to brace this creature. IEnduring this all alone. I scream to remember passion. Unheard emotions in breathtaking fashion. I stand here with unclenched hands. Retreating into my own. Enduring this all alone. Have I let go of what I am?
