Sentience is an amazing grace I'll do as much as i can to enjoy this place Time after time I'll do an about face Either way however I’m doing it at my own pace Sometimes all i see is the black A demon at my back reaching for the attack Other moments though they pull Energy throughout and color so full If it’s not red eyes staring back from the abyss Its god rays from the sky, illuminating bliss All too often it’s pressing that something is amiss How has my life come to being broken by this If it’s not ghoul hand creeping in from darkness My soul touched by light and luminous Extreme duality, tug of war erroneous I’ve been placed here its unceremonious Let go from these shackles Sent forth from my lungs a set of cackles I must be lucid dreaming By god I’m loose it’s freeing But now the sun’s gone down And plastered here a frown This nightscape unappealing I’ve lost all feeling Shadow sneaking up from behind, a blow to the head Bound down to the ground again, and left for dead Its misinformation its misinterpretation Stuck in circles of inflation deflation. Stuck adrift in Moebius travel This uncertain path I’ve grappled I grow and shrink I slowly think The flowing feeling flutters, fluctuates freely A slowing teeming sputters evacuates feebly However to no avail, back the darkness writhes Nestles deep in my heart, where it feeds and thrives

Here lie the ruins of the ancient temple Brought swift to the ground by earthquake tremble Catastrophic demise brought disgraceful end Catatonic capsize with the dirt it now blends Inhabitants left with no home to speak of Brick by brick, the crumble reeks of Failure to flee left them transcendental The shelter lain before them disassembled By force it was ripped from its foundation So now begins the unfortunate migration Years upon years of hard work ruined in an instant Tears upon tears shed filled with lament Here lie the ruins of the ancient shrine Brought swift to its knees it’s such a crime Apocalyptic destruction wrought time will suspend Intrinsic eruption may or may not have been intent Wishing away the washing tides has no effect When the waves themselves crash to infect Walls with no capability to deflect Downed the castle once here erect Volcanic ash stashes itself on grass And tornadoes leave trash in their path Fissures in the land inflict their wrath Stepping on courtyard brick causes a splash Run for your lives run for your lives Earth lashes back armed with knives And its intent verges on hellbent Defeat morphs into descent As the homeland dies, its time here spent Here lie the ruins of the ancient temple Brought swift to the ground by earthquake tremble Here lie the ruins of the ancient shrine Brought swift to its knees it’s such a crime Fire spreads word as lava leaks Winds thrash violent through the streets Tectonic shift sends balance adrift Water fills the rifts with movements brisk

Find me there at the drive-in theater I’m the one in the broken down two-seater Sitting with my back towards the screen As if that’s the way it supposed to be Should i really go ahead and believe My intelligence bestowed the key To dissociation so strong it left me Completely lost from my personality Find me there at the drive-in theater In the smoking steaming bimmer beater I've no idea what movie I’m seeing As i stare directly into the projector beam Once, twice, and thrice the people here so nice Came to make sure I’m not frozen in ice Yes I’m fine, a little confused but a-ok I’m just enthused with this theatrical display What do you mean This lot’s been empty Im sure it can’t be The projector's shadows on me It’s not even on you say I'll disregard you with a nay I can see it with my eyes I know they don’t tell lies Who then tell me please Was it who came over here to my glass And graced my ears with ease I can tell you it wasn’t a ghost who passed Who then tell me please Asked me if I’m dead or doing alright And came to me to squeeze Answers out of me, for sore eyes I’m a sight Found me here at the drive-in theater Trapped in a loop, pushing buttons for a seat heater I think it’s broken it refuses to listen These buttons here make no connection Take a look at me, bold and rotten In my seat I’ll forever linger I can feel the cold from within Reaching with fingers like splinters Ice crystals forming on my skin In this intense frigid dead of winter Sitting dead in the driver’s seat At this run down, god damn drive-in theater

about

Some aspects of this EP's sound were bothering me, so I decided to remix it as much as I possibly could. Hopefully this one sounds a lot better than the original. This EP has been an adventure is learning how to mix for me, and has undergone plenty of revisions after it's original release in 2017, there was a release earlier this year, but I pulled it since it still had major sibilant issues, but I've corrected that. It's still far from perfect, but I am happy with where it's gotten to.

A place for my thoughts. My lyrics are the main aspect I want drawn from my music. Whether they are simply read and enjoyed or they invoke a feeling, I feel as though they are the centerpiece of my releases.

I genuinely hope you enjoy. ... more
