Disdainful Stroke

Oh!
We meet again
I've traveled far
I've sacrificed
Many human pixels
No
No
No more creation
So why did you come here?
Why did you leave?
Hello!
Nice to see you too
I am saving souls
It's like a game
They're trapped in a dream
Nowhere to go
It takes much of my energy
You see, you were my prodigy
Pardon me
Bless
Transfer
Yield Complete
Wake
Soul 338x returns to their waking life safely
You, the paintbrush, you, your aura?!
Halt!
Explain yourself
Your arm is unsightly
What have you become?
I'm sorry
The power creep consumed me
I couldn't stop until I found you
You should have stayed
Leave
Leave me to work
Banishing spell!?!?

I was tied to the pendulum
Inside the cavernous cabinet
Of a gargantuan grandfather clock
My senses overwhelmed
It was flooding with water
The ropes began to swell
Father Time was a demon
Licking tears and sweat from my face
I told myself I was no Houdini
Though I couldn't help but notice
I wasn't fighting it
I wasn't fighting it
I wasn't fighting it
I wasn't fighting it
The wood unfamiliar to any earthly origin
The sound of water pooling
It was flooding with water
The ropes began to swell
Father Time was a demon
Licking tears and sweat from my face
It was flooding with water
The ropes began to swell
Father Time was a demon
Licking tears and sweat from my face
Leaving only my face exposed
The texture and scent of his tongue
Like burning wood and charcoal
Humidity increasing
Heartbeat pounding
I can't escape
I won't escape
I can't escape
I won't escape

Almost every day I have nightmares of me screaming out my anger at people who have put me through traumatic events
Traumatic events
I can’t take revenge on them directly in the real world
Fuck you
After having that nightmare, I awoke tired and angry
Then I tried to go back to sleep by suggesting myself to have another dream, another dream
Guided by my therapist, how I created utopia as my safe place
Complete with my favorite foods and imaginary friend
Almost every day I have nightmares of me screaming out my anger
After having that nightmare, I awoke tired and angry
(garbled mumbles)
Oh fuck
Hey you
Oh why aren’t you laughing
Oh why aren’t you laughing
Oh why aren’t you laughing
Oh
I’m gonna eat your head
I’m gonna eat your head
I’m gonna eat your head
Gonna eat your head
Why aren’t you laughing
No
No
So
Dead

Cut
From the perspective
Of a decapitated head
From the moment
Of separation
To falling to hitting the floor
Heads will roll heads will roll
Stairwell of stairwell of gore
Heads will roll heads will roll
Stairwell of stairwell of gore
Die
Cut cut cut cut
Landing looking up and my
Last sight being my
Killers feet leaving me
Bleeding out and terrified
Heads will roll heads will roll
Stairwell of stairwell of gore
Heads will roll heads will roll
Stairwell of stairwell of gore
Switch from corners unknown
I found myself stuck
No matter how much
I told my brain to move
My body remained petrified
A faceless apparition
At the foot of my bed
Out of the corner of my eye
Like a nurse ready for my death

I could stay asleep
Never read or create
Nor move nor grow
And protect everyone I know
The suffering and endurance
Of the dilemma, a void
Before you lies
A book of life
A book of lies
Empty pages
Trapped and caged in
So I stayed asleep
Never creating
I could not move nor grow
Protecting everyone I know
The suffering and endurance
Of the dilemma, a void
The suffering and endurance
Of the dilemma, please avoid
I could open
A card and read
A line of poetry
But I won't
Empty pages
Trapped and caged in

I'm sitting on the beach and my friends standing in the water
Behind them, a nuclear bomb is dropped
Slowly I watch the shockwave roll over everything
Slowly I watch the shockwave roll over
I watch everyone I love be consumed, then wait for it to take me too
I watch everyone I love be consumed, then wait for it to take me too
Tearing up my heart it seems
Tearing up my heart it seems
There is nothing left for us
There is nothing left on this world
Now I'm stuck in Delirium
Slowly I watch the shockwave roll over
Slowly I watch the shockwave roll again
I watch everyone I love be consumed, then wait for it to take me too
I keep watching everyone I love
Then it takes me too
Takes me to this place called Delirium
Who are you?
Why am I here?
Why do I exist?
How do I wake up?
How do I wake?
How do I wake up?
How do I?
Wake up
How do I wake?

The Smelting Madman
02:43
|
|||
A blaze in the Southern sky
Processing metal to new heights
Sweating bullets from a spooky site
I heard a man sneak behind
Chasing me through the smelting plant
Clad in flannel, sack on his head
Never plays out the same way twice
Need a place to hide or else I'm dead
Sadistic extraction, silver and iron
Death metal mansion, it's my turn
Overalls motherfucker scraping metal
Wait, are those fire-toolz from hell?
Am I in a slasher?
Or a first person shooter?
Yo does this man have some hooks for hands?
Does this man have a plan?
Chasing me through the smelting plant
This madman chasing
Never plays out the same way twice
See nothing but smoke
Ancient terrors forged
Into new armors
Cackling, screaming in everchanging flame
Recall passages to deliver us from here
To disappear in a plume of smoke or of feathers
Through a doorway or a window
My friend, how did it play out this time?

I can't escape
There is a wave I can't outrun
Or I'm on a train
And the train tracks go
Through the ocean
I'm approached by a massive, massive shark
Going too deep
Swallowed whole
There is a wave that I can't outrun
Into the ocean

My lifelong dream
To trundle through air
Levitate
The equation to levitation
The sensation so real I forsake the ground
I've studied how to hit the right thought
Like it was taught to me subconsciously
Levitate
The equation to levitation
The sensation so real I forsake the ground
Fly atop
Being chased by a crew of vampires flying through
Buildings and windows
Running and jumping off the roof
Never got caught yet
But very close a couple of times
Woke up in a panic like fuck that
Fuck that
Fuck that vampire crew?
Never enough blood to satiate their thirst
Immutably consuming
Snuffing out the light
O, how I long to free
Them of their curse
But when even exorcism fails
One must take flight

Four walls
Surrounded by a dense forest
Over the top like a canopy
No road leading from it
At a stop
Staying inside is an endless loop of hallways and stairways
No doors out of the building except one
Break out a window
It becomes dark and I'm
Hunted by something
I am hunted by something
At some point people from my life
Start coming out of the woods but
They don't talk
If they reach me I reset
Twists and turns
A giant water slide with corpses
Rollercoasting extreme
Limbs so wet, corpse slide
Wet dream
Corpse slide wetting my body
I cannot wake up from these dreams

Floating in the sky
Swelling up flooding everything with light
Shimmer and shake the light
Shimmer and shake
Everything is oneness or something
Degradation into emptiness
Everything
Degradation slowly decay
Irrelevant
Nothing is everything
Nothing is everything
Entropic manifests
Entropic manifest both physical and non-corporeal
Degradation

Chase of the Daemon Glow
05:05
|
|||
There was a presence at the Edinburgh vaults
I encountered something in the corner of the room it inhabits
Nearly a decade being chased by this Daemon horrifically
Traipsing my dreams as if I were awake
Then everything would turn neon orange and green
There was a presence at the Edinburgh vaults
Manifesting as a plague doctor or a Daemon glow
Following the wash of neon lights
Everything around me dissolves to night
Greying concrete
A ruined building
Anyone whom I'd speak with
Started glowing
Greying concrete
A ruined building
Anyone whom I'd speak with
Started glowing
Then chase me, me
I see the entity with a mask banging
On a window, trying to catch me
A creeping dread
A creeping dread catching up to me
The glow heating my skin, now burning, now burning
Chase of the Daemon, beware the glowing light
Chase of the Daemon, you can't escape its sights
Chase of the Daemon, beware the glowing light
Chase of the Daemon, you can't escape its sights
Chase of the Daemon
Chase of the Daemon
Chase of the Daemon
Chase of the Daemon
When it caught me, I'd finally wake
When it caught me, I'd finally wake

From Walls to Woods
05:28
|
|||
Standing in front of the door
My mom and dad are in the car in the driveway
I'm crying
What are they leaving for?
Leaving me
Don't know where they're going
Turn towards street's dead end
Look out the window
Empty white wall looks like a portal
Into the woods
I touch the wall
I call my grandma on the phone
She appears
Trying to explain why they left
She's no longer there
I close my eyes
Trying to walk through the wall
Into a forest
When I open my eyes I'm standing in the woods
Dead leaves
I can hear footsteps coming towards me
Looking all around
Can't see anyone
But the footsteps keep getting closer
Closer
I wake up
In my bag of holding
These nightmares are subdued
I now sense a feeling
Of power in solitude
In the Astral Corridors
