dedicated to my heroes on the other side; may they each live a thousand lives
lyrics
i catch myself receding into my chair
i feel myself breathing
heavy, the air suffocates me
my eyes are wide, but all i see is black
someday, just maybe
i might see across to the other side of the mountain
what it looks like on the side that catches the light
i know that if i stay outside i would weather away,
like a cliff by the beach
or a castle on a mountain
if i'm glass, let me turn back to sand
i lost count of my heartbeats
'ad infinitium'
came back to my city
all i saw was spirals
underneath my eyelids,
pupils clear like diamonds
i trace an ouroboros with my eyes closed,
these feelings come in cycles,
kept myself alone so i could
keep my own shit siloed
i feel the chords build with no release,
my tao of inner peace,
hate fades from my enemies,
a dark transfer of energy
the pulse in my wrist ticks slower than my wristwatch,
let me turn to ash with the world that i exist on
i plant my feet in the ground,
not my whole body,
please don't let me be untrue
it's too difficult to uproot
i know the devil dances but
i resonate like a sunn amp,
use the circle's flames as a sundial
on my one hand
my grandpa had a guardian angel,
i knew my demons would get haloed,
the seraphim as they're fabled,
as long as i kept my spirit faithful
coiled and wound
like a serpent that's bound
reluctantly crowned
what's lost is now found
wavelength 3 to 6 months
i'm so happy i could die
i know you wouldn't let me
so i'll stay here all the time
i'll stay here all the time
the spiral's inside you
learn to live with it or not
i'm still alive
i'm still here
