if you think about it i’m not dead i live in a little shack inside your head i’m holding onto nothing and it feels heavier than anything i’ve ever had to hold before i take an apple cut it in half eat the seeds throw the rest in the trash this is a holy plague and six more we were never born only became this form each day we die a little death and rise again lazarene in our living our grace is as borrowed as our bodies each day we die a little death and rise again lazarene in our living our grace is as borrowed as our bodies losing, lying losing, lying losing, lying make a cup of coffee and pray

i wake up in a daze to see the end of days zero and one zero and one zero and one crown of flames ash falls from the sky like moths unable to deny the gravity of death, and fly i wake up in a daze to see the end of days zero and one zero and one zero and one crown of flames ash falls from the sky like moths unable to deny the gravity of death, and fly i wake up in a daze to see the end of days zero and one zero and one zero and one crown of flames i just want to sleep forever floating in dream i just want to sleep forever floating in dream i know where i came from now i’m falling in something ends here

we lost from the start you can’t split what’s outside in half an ephemeral eruption a metamorphosis into something that you’ve never been before and never will again i become an animal i become woman i am a warrior and my honor is volatile it could explode at any second and break out of this form and again and again and again and again and it’s always becoming i am outside myself bordering encircling shattering i arrive from nothing betray everything understand nothing i rush under cover of darkness pierce the skin of order we lost from the start we lost from the start we lost from the start we lost from the start we’re always opposed i become an animal i become a woman i become an animal i become a woman i am a warrior and my honor is volatile it could explode could erupt into ephemeral nothingness a metamorphosis into something that it’s never been before outside myself bordering encircling shattering arrive from nothing betray everything understand nothing i rush under cover of darkness pierce the skin of order thinking loving dying creating thinking loving dying creating thinking loving dying creating thinking loving dying creating we lost from the start we lost from the start we lost from the start we lost from the start we’re always opposed we lost from the start

build/fade 04:02
you build up your walls they’ve grown so very tall haven’t seen you in so long the ivy grows up a thousand green tongues no entry to the inside rough reinforcements made of hardened hide do you see a person or their fortifications you’re building up never high enough you’re building up never high enough you’re building up never high enough you’re building up never high enough you’re building up never high enough your walls crumble in the wind and the rain your walls crumble in the wind and the rain in the wind and the rain we are a ruin i fade away you fade away we fade away we fade away we fade away we fade away we fade away we fade away

about

made in 3 weeks before the end of the year, as the realization dawned that the album concept i was currently dug into would be far too enormous and complex to finish (and finish well) in the same timeframe, this is the resultant product. it was made to mirror certain aspects, songs, and concepts found on its sibling album (more music than they have wires: coming 2021), but created anew and allowed to spin out on its own. some tracks were made or added to in the 11th hour, and this whole platter was delivered at the last possible moment to ship it out properly— and while maybe not perfect, is a quantum leap in quality in my mind at least. as genre-less as it is continuous, this is a minor opus that i think i’ve given enough of its own legs to stand on. this album was made entirely by my hands, and put together in the same— im not a professional but i did my damndest.
