1. So Did We
Our skin worn thin
Our bones exposed
Life reduced to ticks
From forest caves and azure skies
We crashed upon this earth
The years they passed and so did we
But, resistance would be brought
2. Backlit
Always object
Never subject
Can you see us? Are we there?
Are we there…
Can you see me? We are watching
We are watching…
You are fading…
In the daylight… Fading…
Always upon you, light never ceases
Lost from yourself, light never ceases
Thousands of eyes, gaze never ceases
Light is upon you, life in you ceases
3. The Beginning and the End
Long you both laid in the sun's yellow stare
On the edge with eyes rolled back in the waves we calling him
As he teetered on the edge
The waves were calling him
He had seen it, felt it's might, bent under
Washing away
He thinks of you
Everything slows
Lights flashing through
The water flies
Over his head
You are me now
As you lay on my bed
The water flies
Over his head
You are me now
As you lay on my bed
This is what he'd always known
The promise of greater beyond the water's final horizon
4. In Fiction
Through fiction we saw the birth
Of futures yet to come
Yet in fiction lay the bones
Ugly in their nakedness
Yet under this mortal sun
We cannot hide ourselves
5. Wills Dissolve
Those eyes and (this) tower have seeped into our open veins
Uncoiled was its strength
And our souls en masse
Poured down in sheets of rain
And dissolved ‘neath their feet
Circling further down
Our wills dissolve ‘neath their feet
6. Grinning Mouths
Magistrates dream of plague
Tongues loll in anticipation
You are awake in their darker visions
Drool slips from grinning mouths
The plague is forced on us all
Is it there? Are they there?
Shouts of fact abound
But whispers of truth burn through
Is it there? Are they there?
7. Altered Course
