The Counsel of Bray

Caught in a cluster of doubt
I sought rebirth, and I found it within myself
Opening all my locked doors
I had a key, the inscription was the same as yours
A valley with a town of gold
It feels the same as the acreage in my dreams of old
Opening the ancient tome
The letter reads, “in yourself, you found a home”
The way to life and love comes from within oneself
As long as you are true with your own mental health

The Sad House

Running out of time, I land on 29
There it was my lowest low would end on high
The chime sang out a change, a sound that first felt strange
Then I realized it was time to rearrange my
Wants and needs for my own story
If I could go back and tell myself that everything I thought was hell is just a vision no one tells
If I could go back and tell myself that in my future I’ve excelled, that life’s a horse on a carousel
Healing is a path that’s filled with tears and laughs
Building up out of a hole and not a half
It wasn’t done alone, and not in an old home
Help was found in brand new eyes on brand new roams
It’s never easy to reconstruct after a complete demolition of all emotion, but it’s not enough to stay put in a sinkhole filled with regret, shame, and endless commotion
If I could go back and tell myself that there is hope in this hotel, I’d promise not to say farewell

The Bunker

Writing down my thoughts like it could ever help
Make me into someone far from myself
Nothing could ever stop these migraines at night
Lost in my mind grasping for the light
If I'm forced to stay, forced to stay I'll suffocate, suffocate
In this bunker I'll be laid to rest
If I'm forced to stay, forced to stay I'll suffocate, suffocate
You never got to see me at my best
If I ever was so special to you
How could you be content with what you put me through
Dragging me into your trenches of dirt
Am I supposed to feel for your world of hurt
Trapped for too long, will I get out
Calling for help but there’s no sound
You were the one I had faith in
But now I’m spiralling

The Void
04:24
|

|
You’re calling me home to the great unknown
It is where I belong (I belong)
The void
There’s nowhere for me on an old marquee
I’ve known it all along (all along)
The void
I’m in a city of grey, you know I cannot stay
It’d only be wrong, it’d only be wrong
I jump to the void, I’m feeling overjoyed
This is my swan song, this is my swan song

Infinite Hearts
01:52
|

Infinite hearts and infinite starts and infinite hearts and
Raiding my mind with your encompassing kind
It’s like I can always taste you
Tangled up in your tunnelling sin
I’m swimming in space to something true
Your solar flare from your lusting stare
It’s like I can always see you
All of the way till the end of my days
This black hole of love I float toward to

The dusk is taking
The brittle’s breaking
The never ending feeling of ending is reanimating
The calm is creaking
The silence is seeking
The ever-looming sense of calamity’s calling
Truth is staring back at you, you know what it’s saying
Move on, move on
As the days get increasingly shorter, you gotta move on
Move on
As time’s arrow marches forward, you gotta move on
Holding onto what is safe has never worked out in the past
The body aches when it’s stuck cradling a flagpole at half mast
The answer is there, face it, confront it, it reads what you already know
Dreams of glistening grandeur were never fit for a fucking sideshow

Etna

It’s all in the past life
You live in the now
It’s time to drop the knife
Your heart needs not the plough
You made it this far, don’t give up
Your mind is free to run amok
Don’t overthink it
You’re safe to be free
Don’t go and sink it
You can let it be
You made it this far, don’t give up
Your soul will no longer corrupt
You made it this far, don’t give up
I made it this far, time to erupt

Light Fades to Colour
05:55
|
|||

Fire, fire
A brand new desire
Fame and fortune
Dreams that seed endorphins
The lightning lit the spark
We climbed aboard the ark
It brought us to a place where we would dine on deadly lies
Betrayed, decayed
A war with a masquerade
The forest was set ablaze
The ash would rain for days
What seemed like endless darkness would soon turn to dawn
Back to nature
To the future
No more fracture
A new adventure
Light fades to colour
Hope is in the darkness of the sea
