Black Mold 03:14
2.
Streetlights darken as it passes Pull up to the house and the radio turns to static Stopping rain with upturned palms Feeling falling Wind weaving through water trails It took a step back as if to pounce Then spoke words I've never heard And the curse lives on And the curse lives on now _ "There is no escaping" _ Flesh turns to scales molting every other morning Waking to cold like frosted moss Quiet in the eve of the white death Quiet in the wake of the white death Stillness conquers the atmosphere As a singular cell floating above the wind blown crystal sand Calmness like a recurring dream Panic trapped Under a frozen dial Time stops for a melting moment

Predicament 04:35
"I'm in.. kind of a predicament.. and I.. so.."

Mirror Aura 08:27
The flaws that hide cast out into light The filter you wear is no longer there Reflections I cast exposing your past The timbre the tone it's out of its throne My aura is a mirror It's staring at you It's never been clearer _ Dissolving incarnate Meager and bleak Shroud so strong Flesh hardly speaks Omnipresence reduced to a (single) vessel of wounds A tower of vulnerable A vile of noon Collapsing explanation Incapable of thought Soul centre of the sun Microscopic Parched by biblical drought Tumbling in forever Reaching out A war that has never been won Reflections off the lens of despair A partogram of unholy patterns Prayers for the true present
5.
An apparition of a black hornet manifests Tethered to the physical realm through only my eyes Found sanctuary in solace and rest in the walls Behind a painting of trees Blisters and welts from frantic welding Yielding a secret to reflect Doors. Fractal lightning Chipping away at another chapter A page on the calendar floats away An imperial line begins to stray Watch as i throw addiction into oblivion I meet it halfway _ In a Field I call its bluff What could scare me now Sut fills the lungs (of Earth) Shriveled black mass Silt lines the rivers and dries them up into frightened carvings gasping The medium spits out garbage Straight to the source beyond this day Statues dismantle Features erode into amputations "You will all revert to your molds."
6.
Begotten A grey wash Resource guard Be where I'm dead Where the smoke lies Surrounded with ones Who are just not there Placer of obstacles in front me, in front of you Disassociate _ "Built up walls around secrets like a fortress" Live two lives Live two lives Secrets die Secrets die
7.
I left my bones to bleach in this Earth I left my bones to bleach in this Earth I was locked in a box in the ground The Earth was then forced in the void It was there I spent years and dissolved _ It is flesh between my ivory fangs Felt its poison coursing through my skull Vomiting in my veins Tusks kissed me on the knuckles
8.
It takes all lives pointing its limbs the the hall Depleting the air of something to hold Cold, in sad form Conjure spirits of elders with no remorse Nothing to breath or feel it disappears With no remorse Cold, in sad form Nothing to hold Depleting the air Limbs down the hall Nothing to breath Nothing to feel It disappears
9.
Negative blades of grass Many moons orbit past Glistening tears, shatteringly bright Wading in the pool of night Drenched in a sheet of anti-light Opposite _ Feel the inevitable pull of slumber's beckoning grasp All efforts to defeat the beast will prove futile When summer becomes Sweltering and stagnant Autumn brings a chance for death, and ultimately renewal Winter's crown is visible Spring of successor No one

about

Noone
_
First part of a three part concept album.

Consists of loops, compositions and sonic sketches (mostly guitar, sometimes bass and keyboards) recovered from over half a decade ago. Then recently mixed with overdubs, drums, multiple recording techniques and improvised, one take recordings.

Overdubs and additional lyrics were created with a similar frame of mind and approach to the initial base recordings, attempting to finish an idea/ideas,that for many reasons, were never fully explored, able to be recorded properly and finished.

The art, concept and most lyrics were created around the same period of time as the initial base recordings.

"A poem ripped into thirds."
