For a shot at eternity

The longer you stare down the abyss the longer the abyss gets to stare back up at you
Saturated, incarcerated no one made it past the myth
The longer you stare down the abyss the longer the abyss gets to stare back up at you To find there’s nothing you can do Nothing truly new may ever come from this
Revelations of a fearless mind Spoiling splendor’s aftermath, truly of strange kind
And as comes As goes As tumbles, as climbs There is nothing sublime about the crushing divine that comes with dying pockets in time
Resonating the words, reckless the recluse A reckoning unheard of Separation from the mummified Torch in hand I come alive to pierce the veil of night
So off I ran into the dark Another nightblind soul to leave its mark Screaming for an echo to obey, for a black that is grey
The stronger, less weaker, inclined to comprehend A burden to the future, a failure to the past Despair spilling from me, killing for me Stilling the demon’s lust
A tragedy in time and space A cell, a life not yet replaced Determine me For a shot at eternity
Here I await the death of man Here I waste my thought, my breath, my blood My body tightens up
Here I wait and wait and summon the spirit of the flood For the moon, for the sun, for the stars they will never be enough Never again
(So I summon the spirit of the flood)
Drop by drop the rain returns to the sea Wave by wave the raging sea turns into me Thought for thought a serious sincerity Shot for shot for shot for shot for shot at eternity
And off I ran into the dark Another nightblind soul to leave its mark Screaming for an echo to obey, For a black that is grey turn the black to grey

Identity's blame
03:18
|

There is no other way I, I overflow With the rigor of this life Forced on its sources to thrive and thrive and thrive
There is no other way Turning black to grey
Look back in anger, always remember, always relive It took all my life to collect what I hate Which is what I am, neglect and berate
Before I scatter like dust in the wind Will I ever be awake?
Salvation's sinful scorn An echo echoed out of emptiness How am I to keep the deep but stay willing to turn the black into darkest grey?
Overflow Undertow On sterile soil you'll never grow Better to choke on the sap of existence Than to cough up the dust of identity's shame Identity's game It's you, it's you, it's – you, it's all you
From blackness to spotlight to floodlight to grey I can't walk you want leaps of faith?
From blackness to spotlight to floodlight to grey I can't walk you want me to leap on faith alone? I'll try, I'll try But when it's all a lie - who the hell am I?

Grid first
04:37

Feet on the ground let my spirit run down your master uncrowned, duh
Done is done, whatever was Nothing comes from somethingness Unless I run uphill grid first I don't feel alive
I cradle my heart in my head And I struggle to separate Sticking to words, sticking to mist, sticking to
Head in the clouds I fall for my thought Pushing my blood through its veins has gone on well enough Long before slavery's reign
When you look just solely you see that's the blackest of all blasphemies
Divine Divine, dive in Fall out Fall silent Each system comes alive with echoes of echoes revived I will be what there is – the highest of all heresies All there is
My merciful breath will widen this earth, my earth I can't see far enough from down here Eyes to the ground Lost for a chance to be found Like a tree standing bare of its leaves – cold at first, then free Before all of my eyes may seize to adhere I have to take my time My time, this time
An echo out of emptiness The emptiness unseized The echo calls and covers emptiness

The unfinished book
03:55
|

|
I am as lost as you look in this unfinished book What luck My mind a temple, a temple for whores The canvas for a spiritual war
Shadow play – how long before I win you over? Irony – how long before I swim in boulder?
Fall out, fall silent
Drawn from the temple, a temple for whores Immaculate, inaccurate my rhetoric, my metaphores
Clarity to whom clarity is due Saturated I levitate at will
Six feet off the ground Infinity above my eyes I see all there ever was And all there ever was is light, light that fades
(It fades Fades away)
As does is made Look at all those greys
I'm not ready Said the witness torch in hand Tired of his shadow friends A moment that is never over
The longer you stare down the abyss the longer the abyss gets to stare back up at you
To watch the steady, steady flow Endlessly it goes for all I know A post god's drive at heart, a valley climax The eye widens I lead the words right back into silence
The longer…. The longer….
