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

Rise 08:57
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 03:57
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 07:31
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
