Half Truth 08:02
A river of lies A deafening current spilling information off the sides A flag too weighted with fallacy to fly Too soaked with blood to set on fire The waters of logic pollute Fractured conspire So easily stirred, memory so fragile Silver tongue, rootless pile A towering, primal wart Taste of blood The copper on my tongue Have you stayed true to yourself or did you let yourself down along the way, are you scared now, are you scared Does the agony in your bones warn of storms Does the weight on your mind stink of regret Have you told yourself the truth yet

Empty Space 05:02
The immovable object, the unstoppable force

Gate Keeper 06:46
A source to all anguish Sunken in the shadows of paint Lingering pain plays a curious game Cruel landscape turned across a plane Remained inflamed. Ghastly mangled tear A flat windless embrace Impact partial parallel Could air pouring That putrid smell is it Self poisoned, not yet dead, but dying Inviting the one who shall not be House of forgeries Presence of something so undeniable sent them running for their graves There is no removing me from this day No speaker of the Graves No tired ocelot guards the gates That is the least travelled portal of them all Creature of the fog, Keeper of the forrest, Creeper of the lake. Make yourself known - appear to me. An alliance awaits.

Observer 06:00
Residual phosphorescence from the spit of a spirit Sent to watch you and guard you from love Drain the lake dragging blood Yesterdays water levels stain the stones like memories Measurement exponential The day our ship meets the floor Tangent told now shorelines slipped away Retrospective spectacle Fingers thrown with blame A wake too wide. A nature too freak to tame The time has come for division A death to all religion A history not in question The infinite all mighty lesson The highest of frequencies crack and shatter Threads that hold you untie and meet the floor Fingertip touches the reaches of distance The self that never was mocks the tone of fear The time that never was visible on a plane. The death that always was is all that remains A half burnt offering always swaying like the final year leaves fell Falling to meet the floor Current toils and evaporates off of a spinning cauldron A tincture of holy design destroyed

Idle Hands 06:01
Swarmed by ladybugs for days Old windows house no warmth and ripple under liquid earth Every night I checked in with the moon to catch her speaking and so she might whisper a secret into only my ear But another month has gone and she hasn't spoken or her words didn't make it here I offer her my live insects but she sends them back or never returns I cheer as they fly away for I know a strong one will make it there one day And tell her of the poor man drowning in ribbons of glass waiting for the tale of the tides

about

Red Home
_

Third 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 detailed 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.
