lyrics

Through the

Boundless static ocean

She carves an infinite descent



Only the eyes to guide

Painting with the mind



Moving into nothing

Feels like standing,


And with no canvas to cling

The ocean swallows the colours



Praying to the event horizon

Praying for matter



Her shrieks split the ocean

A masked figure falls


On wings of material


Calling from his hands,
structures appear

Earth upon which to stand

Constrained now to the ground,

But able to move.



"Now, Walk."



Years fall by, like rain

Walking and walking and walking

and walking and walking


The legs wither
Skin drapes from the bones


Painting lines and lines over featureless land

A new horizon is summoned



The figure peels away his mask,

Strings of skin fall

And pool on the ground



"Wander no more, and paint upon these walls."



And his flesh walked through the air,

climbing higher around her



Spaces of movement slowly collapsing

Into a single point dimension



Painting circles and circles,

She reaches up and claws at the skin



Chanted:

From the lowest chasm of the mind,

the final horizon is summoned



Screamed:

A new figure descends

Head adorned by the sun



Chanted:

What was once in abysal astral caves

And now rests in the sky

And will bring the sun to her

Speak your wish:



Screamed:

"I want to die!"



Lay down the sun
