Highborn 02:59
In the dual nature of thought the heart will know the truth mother culture has misled all logic misconstrued If half of what we know is true then reason must protrude from our waking heads by the likes of the mushroom We're the imagination of ourselves Suffering is a benevolent illusion To what do I owe the pleasure? This knowledge need not be so hard to find We're the imagination of ourselves I'm the exaggeration of myself

Usurper 04:14
Is there a way to get the culture down, to know it well and be part of it all? Instead of wading through the public face, an endless chase, ceaseless race in my mind The chosen path, the patient wanderer, the seeing stone, cast off deep to the night When folding minds we stop the usurper, the conqueror, bleak though strength in the fight Admittedly, it isn't going well, it's difficult, it's so hard to explain We find ourselves at odds with living well, and staying well, that's less hard to explain Closing in upon the goals we make, the fun we paced, designation of time We understand we mustn't hesitate, we must embrace, origins of our kind Usurper is that ride that makes cliche seem like rarity far from the gentle push, a nudge, juggling every want and need Usurper won't abide by thee, siphoning the very air to breathe don't question the only relief, surrender the thought to concede This world, is palpable I feel wonderful Usurper won't bequeath a sheath, cutting its way into the meat twisting the blade upon the flesh, corrupting every life through greed Usurper won't abide by thee, siphoning the very air to breathe don't question the only relief, surrender the thought to concede This world, is palpable I feel wonderful

Origins 04:36
On a moonlit night in the valley enchanted hillside, sacred river, and spring a mighty frog croaked, and then the trees spoke there was grass smoked by the one who woke first In a minute there will be another magic moonset A wispy fog set, an eerie breeze crept upon the tent set breathing life to the campfire In a minute there will be another round planet It was from these lands that the comet found a grip on Earth and seeded everyone it was from these lands that the stars evolved, a cyclical part of everyone it was from these lands that the mind evolved, a meta world inside of everyone it was from these lands that the comet found a home on Earth and seeded everyone So many stories to be told so many feelings to behold too many beliefs misconstrue too much thought can blind from the truth Finding it out a little more each day finding it out a little more

Did not give a warning did not sound a bell no sirens silence all alone Forging through the winds sailing with the red aimless thoughtless knowledge Don't want to know if don't care to know if wouldn't want to know if provided and presented Don't want to know if wouldn't want to know if maybe I want to know if decided and definite Plenty of rocks to make rock and roll come to waking life plenty of air to make dreamy sounds sublimate time plenty of room in the magical fabric of spacetime plenty of light to illuminate single-celled life Violence silence not alone

Invasive life mustn't overrun we are planted seeds prescribing thoughts mustn't override we will name the stars Fill your lives, your time can only come with a threefold mind Forgotten ways, we must overcome we can lead the charge with exo-life we can overturn we must beat the odds Fill your lives, your time will only come with a threefold mind fill your lives, your shine will only come with a threefold mind We will see with our minds, not our eyes as per request visioneering, eye-lids sealing, now we're kneeling towards the edge blindly teaching, comfortably steeping in the ponds of our error no more dreaming, no more seeking, no more feeling unprepared You will not last forever even stars don't last forever gravity will sometime fade inept to fathom the decay Radiation will sing soaring, surging into nothing holographic projections will define your very perception Humans and the protomonolith All we know is what we are willing to show for human growth our progress stunted but there's hope, we're standing and reflecting on which what we must invoke, instill upon our bleeding throats two words in which we must promote, honest and objective Will we become ... what we dream? ... what we are? ... what we must?

Necromancer 03:37
We are all little busy beavers, gnawing at the legs of all the dream weavers We are all too tired and dreary-eyed to hear the yawning of father time We are all are own mass deceivers, our little tiny heads are wired to transceivers We are all either takers or leavers wandering about awaiting gatekeepers But if we palantir the thought we'd see the necromancer observation interpretation perspective And so the road before whom all must someday go will shine with tithing of answers to all secrets held the sun and moon eclipse upon the babbling flume divides the darkness before whom all must someday go
7.
Vardøgr 03:01
A forerunner to senses failed a forerunner to time unveiled the running of minds buried through shine displaying a certain quality of non-locality Well the super p (position) is a super c (condition)
8.
Qualm 04:20
Why the undercoat? Do you wonder why it's cold? Why the overcoat? Do you wonder why feel the cold? Why the overalls? Do you wonder why we hurt? Why the stethoscope? Do you ever why we feel the hurt? Before it all goes to hell We will change in time Have you ever wondered why we're dancing cosmically? Have you ever wondered why we're shaping the unseen? Have you ever wondered why we're always on repeat? Have you ever wondered why, wondered why, ever wondered? It's a blue feeling for the more we remember it all, we forget
9.
Silent Node 04:16
On a silent node, soundly we're sleeping floating forth, no longer dreaming when I awoke, what was I seeing? My life emotes the darkness I'm fearing On a silent node, soundly we're sleeping floating forth, no longer dreaming when I awoke, the sentience nearing my life emotes the darkness I'm fearing
