Nostos by Final Perigee

Plagueic this martyr on the cross
Diseased this holy thing
Winds pick up and throw his scent
Into spirals of full-blast contrast

Creeping sense of non-anything
Stuck in a dark matter paradise
First foot I stomp kick the floor down
AAAAAAAAAAA
Maiden name replaced
Face stuck in place
But it's all I've ever known
And it's all we need now

----

Swarm
Leaving nothing in the wake
Swarm
Pheromones I stay down here
Trapped in amber
Trapped in amber

Trapped in the solemn state (x8)
Trapped

Nothing left to do
Become a statistic with all of you
7 8 9 billion, equanimity is coming
Average is 100 for a reason
You will be trapped in the solid state

Trapped in the solemn state (x6)
Trapped in amber
Laughing at the walls

----

we fold ourselves
into origami cranes
and sell ourselves for free

fly toward sunrise,
after all is said and done
the river didn't dry up
the trees are still alive
so get busy

a life alone
is not for us together

i'm seeing it real...

from the sun and moon we've come
and to these we shall return
my message now is ringing clear
that it's here and now we must belong

----

essence's senescence
in a sense
the senses sent essence
sentences, innocence
the sunset senses
sin as senses
sent in sin essence
innocence is the sentence

innocence at the center,
incense smoke at the surface
of the nose

who can tell what i see
in a tent where priests have visions
who can say what i need
to hear,

it's a mouth wide open receiving something
receiving something
receiving something volatile and vile

volatile and vile

swear loyalty, saints
and walk through the gate
the sentence, the senses
innocence is the sentence
at the center

innocence is the sentence at the center

I will my way
I crash the ocean waves

Walls don't exist here
We watch the shore
And will our waves
And wash our feet
In sand
And mud covers our eyes
We watch the shore, the way
Arise and say, good morning, every day
I will my way
I wash my feet

Fray,
Strings
Sins of me
Fray
Strings of me
Fray!

I draw in sand
I wound my hands
I will my way
I take this cup in waves

The spiderweb
Vibrations carrying energy

Separate strands
Wounds in hands
Spear in side
Sponge of wine

I'm crucified
Upon a hill
And spat on, flogged and whipped
This is the hill I died on
For you

So stand in waves on the shore

I'm crucified
Upon a hill
Spat on, flogged for you

----

painted on the doorframe
my firstborn's blood is black
spirit, from the heavens
has come to take our necks

send the plagues
we call on saints
we'll never let ourselves go

brazen golden god
our choice of idol
we'll never let ourselves go

bend our wills
shape our lives
we've never let ourselves go

storms,
locusts
rains of fire
let yourselves go

led by staff
through the sea
filled with salt
part for me

painted on the doorframe
blood that's black
firstborn's spirit returning back

let yourselves go

----

Dark,
I feel it,
or at least something like
Absence of light
Absence of truth

Lying in wait,
the lion's roar, gaze,
tongue ablaze,
jaw crooked,
bone marrow leaking from its eyes

What's left of us
Coward!
What's left of this,
is a song
Witness me
As I fall

I'm ready for
I'm ready to
I'm ready when
I'm ready as

Lightning strikes
Waters flooding
Earth moving
Caverns caving in
The final sin

What's left of us
Coward! Knave!
Universes
Multiplicities

I feel a serotonin rush
It grabs at my throat,
torturing without killing
pain without murder

What's this?
I notice...

What's this!
Coward, knave
Absolute craven shell
Slave to hell
Save myself
Coward, knave
Absolute craven shell!

What's left of this
Is nothing I know
Medicine
Killing/Calling
My
Name

What's left of my pillstock

Green smoke
Coward!
Final toke
Save myself!
I tread carefully
It doesn't matter
Everything falls off the shelf
Like bottles of wine

What's left of my ounces?
My weight
No one can carry it
No one
No one!

What's this
I notice?
No more

Please no more!
Please!

What's this
odd feeling?
Coward! Knave!
Absolute craven shell!

What's this I'm feeling?

Coward! Knave!
Craven shell!

I'm back from the hospital
I'm back from the hospital
I'm back from the hospital
We're back from the hospital

Music for the sake of music <3
