Coma Ecliptic - 2015

-Node-

Turn the knob to reveal the light
Stare across the empty night

Dark worlds engrossing ... our sun is sleeping
The dance has lost its step
The teeth will be shown no more
Alone we find the escape
(We walk and walk and walk)
Alone we risk it all

Turn the knob to reveal the light
Stare across the empty night

The world has lost
Our minds roam free

-The Coma Machine-

You teach us what was
You teach us what was out there
You teach us what was
You teach us what was out there
Lift our limbs to focus
We soon drift through the night

The getaway ... we drought the cloud of life
A quick escape to velvet

Start to drift in slumber. Smoke fills the velvet room

No more options to cope. A glimpse of the hanging rope.
Madness embrace the vault. Cannot wait any longer.
A string of light blink ... mesmerize my senses

A pulse that keeps me together for one last time
No more options to cope. A glimpse of the hanging rope.
Madness embrace the vault. Cannot wait any longer.
A string of light blink ... mesmerize my senses
A pulse that keeps me together for one last time

Lift our limbs to focus
We soon drift through the night
You teach us what was
You teach us what was out there
You teach us what was
You teach us what was out there

Travel through a string of tears
Screams crash down like waves

Flushing my mind of a new world
(Afraid to open my eyes)
Climb the hill of the wrist ... enter oblivion
Oblivion

Foreshadow the Shadow:
My last exhale
Knees crash down on

Now rewind

You teach us what was
You teach us what was out there
You teach us what was
You teach us what was out there
What once was...

-Dim Ignition-

An ancient figure crowds my focused path
His lightning bolt eyes creep through my sights

Render the dwellers with freedom
Matter develops your kingdom
Dim Ignition

Walk reverse

-Famine Wolf-

Grind down
Blind taste
Dripping ideas turn against our will
Swallow the chosen soul

One Animal
Once lived ... for life

Human mist rise
Sweet devouring teeth are sharpened
Swallow the chosen soul

One Animal
Once lived ... for life
One Animal
Once lived ... for life

The fifth resonating host
sweaty palmed inside constant alert
Blinking around the bubble of the paranoid
We are all that's left. We will be enough

One Animal
Once lived ... for life
One Animal
Once lived ... for life

Scour the earth. Turn the dirt red.
(This can't be our lifeline)

Anchored mind wind ... across the fog
We disgrace the pupil's sight

A homeless meat
the street markets replaced their souls
Gripping our oldest thoughts
society has me out cold
It has me out in the cold

Move the flesh over this rotten bone
One more day
This can't be our lifeline

-King Redeem / Queen Serene-

I can't hear a thing
These waves crash faster
I can't see a thing
These arms grab for wonder

Enter this widened space
Inside our own small cage

I can't hear a thing
These waves crash faster
I can't see a thing
These arms grab for wonder

King redeem
Queen serene
Dusk drifts by with one last try

Clench ... trapped ... lids fold inside
Blurred mind ... dry tears foam from high
Sleep walk past my cornea
Eclipse washed out ... unscathed
Search for the formal stage

I slip past my own mind
A small gift taken from my time

Mute mouth
Mute mind

Color spectrum false, invoke heart rate race

Hysteria develops a hold
Raging winds force the earths
symphony through my ears
Clarity is not known
A fortress blackened by a dissolving sun
A visual memory vanishes
Presence of hope intertwined

A transcript lost from what we've taught
To speak is not an act without our tongues
The human race has been deformed
A quilt of skin surrounds our lungs

Build an arrow to force a grim corrupted turn
Color spectrum is now false
our eyes will see no more

A transcript lost from what we've taught
To speak is not an act without our tongues

The human race has been deformed
A quilt of skin surrounds our lungs

Build a monster to bury the infected worm
Color spectrum is now false
our eyes will see no more

Mute mouth
Mute mind

King redeem ... Queen serene
Blinded bells ... the deafened sing
Hysteria develops a hold
Clarity is not known

We cough the future
We scratch the past

Into the circular I grab the jagged gaze
Color spectrum false invoke heart rate race

A transcript lost from what we've taught
To speak is not an act without our tongues
The human race has been deformed
A quilt of skin surrounds our lungs

-Turn On The Darkness-

The winters grieve evenly
Flickering moments engage our senses
Slowly trembling and venting
They won't take notice

Dragging feet. Will time notice me?

We turn out backs on ourselves
Nothing in sight

The Sighting:
I see a flame erupt in the distance
The charted course towards my direction
A wealth of moving light, they now seek my disguise
Legs soon crack as they stand above/below

The Exchange:
"Where do you drift from sir?
This land is for those who have lost
Our humanity has passed its course
we roam with all that’s left"

I come from a movable past
A distant future is in my grasp
You all will survive this fate
Trust the man you gaze

Take me with your flames
Darkness
Show the brighter way
Hopeless
Take in all. Sit with our teachings

Above. Below
Take in all
Above. Below
Sit with our teachings

Dream tonight to push us forward

Black ash improves me. Dark skies are hollow.

Above. Below
Take in all
Above. Below
Sit with our teachings

Dream tonight to push us forward

Black ash improves me
Can't look past the damage to this life
Dark skies are hollow
Can't look past the damage to this life

The Torchbearer:
"Welcome to our journey. Please walk with me
I'll put your mind at ease
Our breath disrupts their flames
We walk through their walls
Life exists apart from this."
The lone world drifts on and on

In the distant light modern man awaits
Dripping jaw accept our twisted travel
Lose focus
Screaming grins howl loud from high
a gritty focus gripped

We turn our backs on ourselves
Nothing is sight
We turn our backs on ourselves
They won't take notice

-The Ectopic Stroll-

Sit down please. Sir, what is your woe?
My thousand year old wisdom will help you grow
The fantasy of the rewind
I can dissect a man of your kind

Please Doc I need help
My walls are covered in velvet

We can't get it right

Old man
Chopping at his block
Old soul
Sanding his work
Lost land
Hysteria in practice
Lost hand
Tumbling down the well
Tumbling down the well

Our troubled thoughts are drugged away
No need for our sanity

Let's now start over
Let's begin our lives
Go back to where we came from
Let's now start over
Let's begin our lives
Your voice is silent

Sit down sir and lend me your mind
I'll twist and tinker every circuit that's inside
This fantasy of your soul
You'll soon accept all I know

We can't get it right

Speed up your joy
We can't get it right
We can't get your right

Take me back to my past

Let's now start over
Let's begin our lives
Go back to where we came from
Let's now start over
Let's begin our lives
Your voice is silent
[2x]
Take me back to my past
[2x] Take me back

-Rapid Calm-

Speak now old soul ... Distant breathing
Your choice soon exists
Speak now old soul ... A choice will soon be yours
Speak your time

Darkness embracing our sun
Darkness embracing our sun
The rising smoke awakens me

A crest for the brave falls in the fog
A light shines from a distant land of ghosts
They don't want you there

They don't want me here
Remember my name?
The machine is crumbling

A crest for the brave
A light shines from a
Enter oblivion

Darkness embracing
Our sun is lifting
You'll soon give up on this world

The rising smoke awakens
An all white room ... Lifts me with its lights
Nothing in focus. Curiosity is no more
"Accept all we are given. It is all here for a reason"

A golden lever ... A choice for gold or velvet
Do I go on, or follow the robes in the smoke?
"Accept all we are given. It is all here for a reason"

One last search
Our shallow minds embrace this dream
One last search
To kneel in the famine room
One last search

You'll soon give up on the world

-Memory Palace-

Awake me
Stoic and ready. Living in levity
Static entry

Chatter has left me. A statue grown
With intentions from my own
I stutter on. Key driven
A swollen breeze insults me
The scent of a natural place

Chatter has left me. A statue grown
With intentions from my own
I stutter on. Key driven
Horrid thoughts finally leave me
Dismiss the notion of the unwanted force

Static entry. Alone and free

Awake me
I never want to get out of here
Visions of my past will disappear
I never end

Focus on melody
The sounds under my eyes
Dreaming inside of this world inside my mind
Drift on
Never end

Static exit. Animate

Tubes swim with my veins
An orchestra of lights graze over my corpse
Our souls are melting
Immobilized limbs secret liquid smoke

Fill the room with fear
A losing act draws in the final wake
Overcome "the end"

I did not. I did not want to come back
I did not ... Take me back

It’s over

I sit drenched in the summary of my past
Live in the name of the ghost
I drift on

Focus on melody
The sounds under my eyes
Dreaming inside of this world inside my mind
Drift on
Never end

-Option Oblivion-

Real eyes
A golden lever. A choice of gold or velvet
Do I go on, or follow the crown in the smoke?
My last choice derange my voice
Real eyes

The lever falls down so delicate

Enlighten me
I'll follow towards the smoke
The wrenching of the rope
I'm always lost
The idea of dreaming in a dream
My vision is serene
Please lift me up

Breathe underwater
Swim without limbs

These new eyes will never suffer

Enter the new wake
Looking back through the painful tunnel
They taught us what once was
What once was

New air opens my mouth
Gasp a new breath
What is this place? An alluring frontier

-Life In Velvet-

Fresh air grips me
Rolling hills on far
The smell of the living. Awakens all I am

Lift my limbs to focus
Beauty is in sight
The hours I cherished are now false

My last exhale is purple smoke
Knees crash down on velvet robes
Dark worlds engrossing
Our sun is sleeping

Automata I - 2018

-Condemned to the Gallows-

[Night one]

Condemned to the gallows
Condemned to the gallows
Goodnight…

Gripping the brightest grid
A surgical drive to increase the noise
Ice cold realization of the silent wind slowly drags me up into a splintered reason
Emptiness engulf me

Align the love inside me
Let misery wake me

Search low…
Search low… abandoned

The creaking floors cry out below
A limping glimpse of next steps
The fog showers the last light of day

[Voice of trespass:]

Destroy the wooden frame
Trust the creaking sounds
Seek the tunnel to walk high above
Search low
Trust the creaking sounds
Seek the tunnel to walk high above
Search low
Destroy the wooden frame
Confront the night

Warm blood drips on cold snow
The curtain surrounds logical thought

Condemned to the gallows
Condemned to the gallows
Condemned to the gallows
Condemned to the gallows

Condemned to the gallows
Condemned
Condemned to the gallows
Condemned

Crimson moonbeam lights my journey
Crippled with time desperate strides into nothing
Crimson moonbeam lights my journey
Hear the waking
Crippled with time desperate strides into nothing

-House Organ-

[Day two]

This frame... it does nothing to soothe
Thoughts of worst-case seep through its fiber
This frame... ignites every step
Engulf the shadows it creates

Smash
Ignite
Destroy the creeping eyes
Hang the rope
Destroy this weakened frame

Two eyes lock onto my pulse
Love comes crashing on my conscience

Change my focus, lift my spirit... boy
Change my focus, you are my spirit... boy

The crimson moon shines down
Hold your tongue, let me speak
There's more to this than it may seem

-Yellow Eyes-

[Night four]

Yellow eyes are seen circling... a whirlwind arriving for the passing storm
The hunt... the hunter inside
A whirlwind arriving

The wanderer wanders too far from the gold distance
Where they live... where the quiet lay their drowning heads at night
Flesh drapes on the smoking ground
and then spills onto the teeth of the once protected
Yellow eyes close in

Yellow

Our souls grip onto a wall
Our minds slip past this old soul

Yellow

[Morning five]

Smoke is seen in both directions
My creation sits... my progress awaits
Smoke is seen in both directions

In rubble... their creation
Somewhere in the distance... somewhere
The softness of snow mutes my travels
Somewhere in the distance... somewhere

This landscape seems to change too often for comfort
A blinking light hides as I stumble downward
A stillness... it's too quiet
The hum of electricity
My crumbling bones seem to weld the new author
A stillness... it's too quiet
The hum of electricity... seems to buzz

Cut an X in my palm... leave my mark
A translation for whatever created this world for me
I sit under the crimson moon
Whatever created this world for me
Yours or mine?
They or this?
Yellow eyes
Tread light
Collisions open us more
Revise
The simple task of our own

We serve our own hell

A cocoon leaking on our own conclusions
We serve our hell well
Cope with disguise
Inner working dissect
Common phase neglect
I am tangible with no logic

Change my focus, drown my spirits
There's more to this than it may seem
Blink fast into hollow ground

-Millions-

[Before]

Millions... watch them fly overhead
Now please take me with you
I've lost my perspective
You left me alone

Alone and trembling
My chin jolting back and forth... sounds soar around
The shield you once were... my life you would defend
Sounds soar around

In my world there is only us
Bring me with you to soar
This dreadful collapsing scent... you never strive for more

Millions fly overhead
Fog dancing slavery... like snakes circling
Small angle jeopardy
Millions

-Gold Distance-

[Instrumental]

-Blot-

[Rehearsal]

The blot in my eyes...
Circular
The blot in my eyes...
Circulate

All my pockets are full and my mind is lost
Circulate
The rear view keeps shifting as I stare at the sun

The blot in my eyes...
Circular
The blot in my eyes...
Circulate

All together... back and forth as the wind cusps my inner mind
The sun separates me
Exposed... our greatest fear
All is here to see
Piece by piece you strip away

Exploring the escape
Endless lives whispering by... so fast
Circulate

This is the beginning of my life

I hope you enjoy the show... it's for you, ya know?
To watch you from across the room
To hear you through the tangled lines... it completes me
I've been waiting

The blot in my eyes...
Circulate

[Voice of trespass:]

Computer simulation complete
Eject the suspect...
Mold and shape to create memory
Bring them back I say...
Sights set on the uncommon agenda
Well done
Computer simulation complete
Eject the suspect...
Mold and shape

I won't remember me
I won't remember us
I won't remember he
I won't remember them

Eyes covered by an electrical storm
Voltage increasing, distance engaging... a mumbling timbre
Silent to this awakening
I'm sorry... a fucking tragedy
A mumbling timbre
Smash... ignite... destroy...
The tunnel's twisting this body into glass
A once hollow man... break through to the other side

Exploring the escape
Endless lives whispering by... so fast
Circulate

The blot in my eyes...
Circular
The blot in my eyes...
Circulate

Automata II - 2018

-The Proverbial Bellow-

[Night six]

Let's stay here forever
I am I ... what is this?
I am I ... what is this?

A God-like floating sensation
Hands cover me
Jolting ... erupting
Sensory bliss
I am I ... what is this?
I am I ... what is this?

The mark is spotted
They have found me
Electricity screams through the fingers below

I am I ... what is this?

Move me to the ambulance of thought
Tiny electric movements

Please pick up the phone ... it's been ringing for years now
I'm so alone here
Sensory bliss

I'm now elevated
Yellow eyes stare below me
You/him/us: multiple versions of my inner search

The church of regret emits welcoming ... please don't shut us out
The red glow creates shadows ... mountains
Shadows of our choosing
Lights in their eyes start flickering ... the proverbial bellow

Let's stay here forever

Beautiful eruption ... we've made our creation
Sunshine beams on their faces ... as they melt into one
The slight hum of the grid

Please pick up the phone ... it's been ringing for years now
I'm so alone here
Sensory bliss

-Glide-

[Night four]

"May I have this dance?" ... it nervously asks
The two glide into the heavy crowd
Awake this smile
Familiar...
The comfort of being
We are everything

Time is irrelevant while you're in my arms ... maker
The grid is gone and we all slowly collapse around each other
Piles of flesh and wires create a mountain of memory

-Voice of Trespass-

Come a little closer now ... let me tell you what you need
A snake-tongued devil by your side

I will creep right through your mind and swim right through your veins...
Let your blood flow over me

I want to dine in your mind
Trust me ... we'll take it from here

Let's all hold these dreams in our broken hands of filth
Replace ... begin ... forget it all
Shut it off ... now ... all of it
I'll make you understand that they are really here and gone

I want to dine in your mind

Collapse on you
The inner rot
We are the Voice of Trespass

Voice of Trespass

We hang you out to dry...
Dollar signs in your eyes...
Crooked steps by design...
You're going somewhere fast...
It will never last...
Disembowel your formal aim...

I'll start slithering ... my pockets are getting big ... the dollars are in my eyes
The Voice of Trespass

We hang you out to dry...
Dollar signs in your eyes...
Crooked steps by design...
You're going somewhere fast...
It will never last...
Disembowel your formal aim...

The lizard tongue snaps at its prey
Clinking glass of celebration ... another puppet is lost in our world
Jolted out of reverie...

Break out ... break free
The lizard tongue snaps at its prey

This is not perfection
Find yourself...

Wake up
Please wake up

We are hollow
Condemned to the gallows

-The Grid-

[The Premiere]

Inhale... we take it all in
Prying hands mold ... inhale
Prying hands hold
We shape you ... you'll never know
Distinct cries for help rain down on our vice
The device inside
Prying hands become old
Rebirth

Inhale ... we take it all in
Dying hands mold ... inhale
Dying hands hold
We break you ... you'll never know
Distinct cries for help rain down

Judge not what we do, judge what we feed

Mental transformation
We have become their memory

Step back and feel the sun
Step back and touch the end
We are in this together

Millions circling...

Judge not what we do, judge what we feed
Guilt surrounds ... we pushed for a perfect life
We held you under and let you drown

Slowly submerge ... become your true self
Rain down on our vice ... the device inside
Prying hands become old
Rebirth

Judge not what we do, judge what we feed

Mental transformation
We have become their memory

The moon slides past the shoreline
Its crimson glow lives on

Please don't wait up for me
I've finally locked the door...
Please don't wait up for me
I can move on...
We are in this together
