Shelter by Final Perigee

fail it all wrong (again)
say it's alright (wrong answer)
tear it all raw
see it all ablaze

share in the empty feeling they show
deep in the hollow valley we know
quake while you pull the veil from your eyes
shaking the earth and rending the skies

thinning of the thread

share in the empty feeling they show
deep in the hollow valley we know
quake while they pull the veil from your eyes
shaking the earth and rending the skies

hidden in the valley
warnings of the dead

----

still cold
see my breath
the quiet space
heaven's grace
from your face
still cold

walk on, sullen boy
blood means nothing
we mean something
we tread water
we face ground, deep
we tread sky

walk on, wanderer
become sundered
and feel cold
breath leaves
my face
from my face

still old
feel my lungs
smoke filled
bless this
bless us

curse on, wandering boy
and fade
curse on, wandering man
and shade
call my name
and voice
call my eyes to see

walk on, wanderer
and face cold
bring down
the atmosphere
and fade, worn
bring back the shade

----

Crawl and climb
Through tunnels dark and ladder up well bright

Dance with devils and speak in angelic tongues
with a precept; mirror eyes

in the valley we sing of dust and ashes kicked up
and on the mountaintops, we will sit and listen to eternal choirs

seek water
beget flame

rend the skies
the cries we hear will end
and now
we fight the emptiness we know
and then we call it quits
veil torn apart
falling with dust
we sing this song
and will we call it quits again?
no.
we won't give in to nothing
we sing this song again

in the valley we sing of dust and ashes birth
on the mountain tops, we will sit and become the choir
become the fray

----

i am okay,
but it's not getting better
i know there's something better
for us to find

i am a saint
called up into heaven
but i'm coming back
because there is something better

ascertain
returning to me
astral,
carrying further into aethereal bliss
centering,
returning to me
lightning strikes

tear it all wrong again
say it's alright again
wrong answer again
again, again, again

i am a saint
and it's not getting better
god, where are the sinners?
my friends from hell?

i am not better
than any one of you
so i can't be your preacher
go find another

i am afraid
of everything that surrounds me
i am afraid
and it keeps happening

i am not god
but i am not not god
im within the eternal dao
the spoken chaos word

i am the spider

we're the web, showing us the changes
we're the waves, showing us the way,
we're the spider, an ineffable discovery

----

i was captured
enamored with beauty
i was calloused
tense in the back

and you carried me out of the pit
led me to your shelter
shelter from the cold
and you can't tell what we're aiming for
but i'm sure it's nothing
nothing evermore

cantrips, spells and conjurings
all surround my shelter
shelter from the cold
phantom pain is for lost limbs,
not my active veins and musculature

and you care so much for what we are
what we could have been
and what this all could be
and you don't know what we're aiming for
but i'm sure it's nothing
never meant to find

and you shot like an arrow
from a bow made up of old bones
and loose stray hairs from days gone by
right into my beating heart
jumpstarted from nothing
flutters and small cries

and you can't tell what i'm waiting for
but you're sure it's nothing
nothing meant for us to find
and i can't be sure what's coming next
but i'm sure it's something
something evermore

Music for the sake of music <3
