You Decompose

the violence I cradle within
makes me scared
gives me confidence
the rage that I've been nurturing
makes me so proud
makes me ashamed
and that evolving breath of vitality
that grants me the pain of knowing
will wipe me away
stop wasting
stop wasting
stop wasting
stop wasting
stop wasting
stop wasting your prime
pray for something's got to give
pray for nothing's bound to live
stop wasting your lies
stop wasting your mind
pray for something's got to give
pray for nothing's bound to live
we might be a tiny bit
too caught inside our gleam
pray for something's got to give
pray for nothing's bound to live
we might need the poetry
if we only had space to breathe
you compose yourself
the strength that grows beneath my skin
oh it turns me on
and it sure does make me worry
the passion that I burn of
is also the anger that I feed on
and my sacred lunacy
the darkness that builds me
it makes me shine
the darkness that I am might make me
lose control
stop wasting our lies
stop wasting our mind
pray for something's got to give,
pray for nothing's bound to live
I see an outline coming into focus
through the dream
past changing disguise
comes chasing behind
pray for something's got to give,
pray for nothing's bound to live
the chance is here, it's quite too clear
proceed or be rewinded
time to symphonize
this burning inside
pray for something's got to give,
pray for nothing's bound to live
we might just smash the window,
form and random embrace
pray for something's got to give,
pray for nothing's bound to live
I feel there's something shifting now,
I feel it pushing closer
the human's bursting out of the cocoon
future prophesied
reflected through the featureless vacuum
metamorphosis so spot-on
as if by design
you compose yourself
you compose yourself
you compose yourself
you compose yourself
you compose yourself
go compose yourself
go compose yourself
go propose to yourself

so hard to
bring forth meaning
without re-resorting
to platitude
this challenge
the present
calls for
so then start
the process of peeling
keep reform-
reforming your multitude
this balance
you are storm for
rise to the feeling
of being stretched over
time to be kneeling
a little bit lower
try to be eating alive
that which painted itself
toward knowing
what waiting is for
hate to be watching
how easy it is
to lose comfort whenever
the black rains around
late to be crossing back,
late for those fields
but never too late
for shields to be dropped down,
for it yields you the front line
the pain brought you under
and it made you flounder
hurt is such a good reminder
playing shapes you stronger
born of wonder
so hard to
hold form tight enough
tough not to
lose the core
this situation
demands your whole
so hard to
fuck it – chew it off
keep on push-
pushing to the fore
this situation
demands your whole
demands you fall
wired to the feeling
of coming ever closer
tired of receding,
tired of believe in
fire keep on breeding,
don't know where it's leading
track down the victims
and make them pay
so much joy in bleeding
just like him just like her
lungs keep on beating
fingers grow ever longer
some suicides do
seem just like cheating
therefore comes
tomorrow again
comes to break the order
the pain brought you under
and it made you flounder
hurt is such a good reminder
playing shapes you stronger
born of wonder
you are storm for
it demands you whole
you are storm for
it demands you all

Root

tired of the dead ground
though it won't be enough
no it won't be enough
breathing with the long gone
though it won't be enough
no it won't be enough
learning from the failed
though it won't be enough
no it won't be enough
calling for the once was
though it won't be enough
no it won't be enough
dreaming by the timeless
though it won't be enough
no it won't be enough
awed by the shadow
though it won't be enough
and though it won't be enough
still it shall suffice
push all the way
down down down
slow the space
down down down
been poured so
down down down
now wake up and
down down down down down down
d-d-d-down
union of the ages
allows for the path
staring through the crying
seas of denial
therein sleeps an answer
plain in sight
the witness becomes a seed of
communion across the stages
aroused by the path
bearing through the triumph
piece of the primal
therein sleeps an answer
plain in sight
and then through awareness of
past forms we
shed our skin
horizons within
silence abloom
everflowing womb
reach for the root
reach for the root
reach for the root
reach for the root
reach for the root
reach for the root
reach for the root
reach for the root
reach for the root
reach for the root
reach for the root
pierce through
transmute

The Practice

concentrate on repetition
become the fire to breed
make the desires transmute
the drudgery then starts feeding
life into my machinery
call upon the layers
to reveal what lies beneath
piercing through the surface
the mundane becomes the
ground for my work
come come come come
come come come come
coming back to me
grey grey grey grey
grey grey
then color
why why why why
why why
why attack to heal?
lay lay lay lay
lay down fertile soil
all over
devoured by the practice
dedication to the practice
devotion to the practice
dissolved by the practice
I eradicate the meaningless
by pushing further into the resistance
observe the motions
through primordial silence,
passion and hunger
this has become my will
to keep on crawling uphill
then nothing more to explain
the feeling reveals some kind of a closure
come come come come
come come come come
coming back to me
grey grey grey grey
grey grey
come color
why why why why
why why why why
why attack to heal?
lay lay lay lay
lay down fertile soul
all over
beaten down by the flow
the hour comes to let the loose go
presumptions shatter, provoking growth
educated by the persistence of labour
suffer for the evolution
gotta sacrifice for the confusion
won't this ever reach conclusion?
dancing on the border of obsession

Release
09:00

one day it will get around our head
some say that it went too
far across the bend
watching mountains reach for the
clouds through the rain
never sure of what will survive
the change
and it comes to me
to remain
and no conjuring
can undo the scars
and it comes to me
and it runs through me
makes it clear
what it means to face
the dread
untied, the shallow grows
to respond to the need
the passing of seasons
alleviates the strain
and the inescapable
reign of gravity
even a heart most furious
is unable to repeal
come the right moment,
it could be found and embraced
some say that it cannot be contained
persistent memories,
they complicate the game
but getting to know the shadow
might make it whole again
and it comes to me
to relay
that no conjuring
will bring down the stars
and it comes to me
to release the shame
so you let it come to you
to release the shame
let it converge with you
to release the shame
let it fulfill you
to release the shame
and let it impregnate you
to relieve the pain
you let it touch you
to release the shame
let it peel you
to release the shame
let it talk through you
to release the shame
and let it pierce right through
to reveal what prevails
now let this fire consume you
to release the shame
let this fire consume you
to release the shame
let this fire consume you
to release the shame
oh let this fire consume you
to reveal what prevails
through burning breed new life
through burning breed new life
through burning breed new life
through burning
through burning
breathe new life
