MOSS CROWN 04:12
hell freezes over. lichens turn to dust. clocks stuck at midnight, gears become rust. tower it has crumbled, betrayed by natures rule. power stolen back from the wrongful & the cruel. the ocean overtakes us. fluorescent algae rules. mushrooms swallow brains. we now bow to you. bury us inside you. take us from within. swallow poison flowers. mud & soil wins. take your wings & dip. don’t underestimate in the gold of fools. annihilation hums it’s bitter accolade. it now comes for you. (ruined elements, ablaze we all are embers forced to smoulder out. brightness transforms me. I plucked a flower of light. nightmares free to flood, surge & drown my senses in a swamp with changing bodies. pure ambivalent glowing gift: this chance to surrender & be something other. pain is only grasping. I accept annihilation.) we ain't gonna quit. we ain't gonna sleep. wake up tomorrow. desolation creeps. (moss growing out of tiny pores mimics a faulty human form. replicated, replacing all cells. duplicated echoed parallels.)

BUTTERFLY 04:15
been riding that high. floating along like a butterfly. take me down. I am happy now. encased in glass. this too shall pass. shatter, blast - home at last. (could there ever be anything good enough? could there ever be any way out of this?) lost my way, saw the light. exquisite sins hold me tight. I’ve seen it all before. dreams unearthed. portals bend. sorrows mend, melt away. expand, unfold. led to places unforetold. fire comes & fire goes. trapped beneath this fertile growth.  we have not become a rut. we have always given up.  waves come crashing over us. salty soaked & words untouched.  (is this the end, or has it been ending my whole life? is this just collapse 
or am I finally home?)

I made my peace with a burning sword. I don't know what will come & it aches like hell but you're still the one. jumping off the tower. take me to the ledge. submerge yourself in water. swallows dive right in.  fist full of morals. give it all away. make yourself another. justify the gain. anything to feel nothing. everything is decaying. anything to feel something. everything is blossoming.  (tell me this is not the end. remind me where we began? if I looked back what could be said?) smoke seeping over eyes. if I could turn back time... (we borrowed from each other to build ourselves. two decades pass. we bled into each other to fix a pact. mirrored paths.) I've been down as low as the valleys go. I've been high as the sky is wide. (aspects of you continue in me. echoes of me flow into streams with you.) ritual time. false time.
