Athabasca
I hate this town
It's vacant streets
The faces I'd rather forget
This place brought the worst out of me
But it's shaped who I am
How did I become so quiet, nervous and afraid?
It weighs me down
I'm sorry I wasn't a good son
I wasn't a good friend
I have no excuses left
I never belonged
So I can't stay here
And let ignorance breed
I can't lay awake
And close myself in
This is not my home
But it still haunts me

An End

An End
Billions of tiny lighthouses
Illuminate the night sky
As the husk of a man
Inches from eternity
Summons a final wish
To be amongst these beacons in the dark
Even if only for a moment
For there is beauty beyond compare,
A respite from the regret that plagues his mind,
Amidst the stars.
In the infinite dark
An end.

Recluse
I'm so fucking scared
Of people
Please keep away
I'm not well
I'll lock myself
In my house
For days
It's too much to handle
And I'm slowly going insane
Bound to solitude
For fear of human interaction
Of any kind
It's impossible
To meet people
When you can't hold
A conversation
Without being choked
By anxiety.

Entities

|

|
Entities
Faceless totems staring down at me
Becoming incased in this structure
Dementions I can't comprehend
Memories flooding back to me
Being molded before my eyes
I was once afraid of death
But now my flesh has turned to gold

Halls

Halls
I miss that familiar drive
And that I never felt tired
I never fealt so free
I never knew how much one room could mean
The faces of strangers
Who I shared my greatest moments with
Ive been waiting for so long
My fists are clenched
This couldn't be more cathardic
And it kept me alive
Those castles and halls
But I'm still afraid to say that you saved my life
That you inspired me
That you changed who I am
That it was the only thing that mattered to me

Vices

Vices
Born with vices engraved into my mind
Born with vices embedded into me
An endless cycle that I can not break
A routine that I can't escape
I'll find comfort in this silence
I'll find euphoria in isolation

I have been silent for too many years
I thought that this would frighten you
You are human
You need more than the taste of lime
There should be some sort of communion
Let me pull this from my body
And you can see the world how I do
We are all one creature
And all
That there is
Is in us
There is no contradiction
Only the pulse
Within us
Within you
The world pulses
And shudders
With life
And death
With tide
And magma
With Me
With Her
(Most of the lyrics from this song are directly copied from Alan Moore's Saga of the Swamp Thing.)

Wolves
Another wrong turn
Another waste of time
This voice calls to me
And i have to keep on searching
The lights go dim
I can feel the water rising
I shiver
Trapped in my own head
My aching bones
My shaking hands
I have no choice
Sacrifice myself
I don't need my health
I can't find another path
I am broken
Paradise isn't what it seems
