Nexus
I saw you fall like lightning, night began to crawl
Lips sealed in a cold sweat when fear says, "Take it all."
Take it all, spectral presence reaching through my skin
Distill me down till I'm the apparition
Distance in my reflection intersecting dimensions
I can feel the multitudes now passing through me inner space
"Open the gate." Disembodied voices indoctrinating masses
Blank stare, unaware we severed the nexus: Desiccation
Starving in circles
Perpetual state of possession
Shatter the cycle
Release control as many become one
Escape the monolith, reverse the curse of metaxis
Ultraterrestial: I am the sum of all branches
Crescent lark descending a labyrinth underground
We're casualties to the moment when Everything Was Sound
Beleaguered by the blasphemy of broken fate
Look past distraction, trade your certainty for waves
Starving in circles
Perpetual state of possession
Shatter the cycle
Release control as many become one
We inherit the earth, we inherit the war
I inhabit the wound, I dwell in the harm
The past still echoes through our dreams:
Plant the Tree of Life inside the Heart of the Machine
Close your eyes
Still your mind
Pass through time
Make us whole
