Relapse (Sycophant)

Numbness from complacency
Traded hands with darkness to employ irrationality
Gnashing at the endless walls
Reflective hell
Run circles, never see
Towerous hurdles, never see
Sun is burning, night is cold
Refuge reached, mistakes untold
Unaware of formality
Stretched, turn the wrack wheels
Excuses made to relieve the swelling
Not a word left to understand
Not a word we can comprehend
Not a word, not a sound
Let it be
No, how could this be
All that surrounds me seems so fleeting
The desert before me, a windblown retreat
Once I've forgotten, I'll nurture the seed
Swear to placate deception
I need room to breathe
Wear a mask for the moment, show it off
I need room to breathe
Got to find a new skin
I need room to breathe
Once again I've stretched myself too thin
I need room to breathe

Faced with a reflection
A radiance unyielding before my very eyes
Unable to reason, unable to think
So I give in
In and out of orbit I am led
Notions of sirens begin to emerge
Is it a lie, who's to decide
Do I even care
Here I sit abandoned
Bewildered footsteps through my mind, unkind
Please go about your way
Your words are hollow and vapid
Your affection is flippant
Why do I love you
When all is said and done I scrape the ground for closure
A luxury you will not grant, for I'm not worthy
The risk I take to let you in again and again
Built to fail, waste my breath
I will adorn your memory with scars of valor
A merit badge of battles fought and battles lost
I will bathe in desire, I embrace my new fate
Share the shame, wallowing
We built this foundation on the shores of uncertainty
The waves forever testing its integrity
The structure lies in disrepair
The mortar of the bricks starts to fade into dust
Sacrifice must be made, not for you
The possibility remains, this song I'll sing again
This stain upon my soul, can't be free and also whole

Recovery (Heirophant)

Step into the circle
Shed all sense of your preconceptions
Relish the gift you're given
Pay no mind to the bleating masses
Separation from the self
Consume the wicked with the spirit of your mouth
This paradise exists within
Into outer darkness, there shall be weeping
Gnashing of teeth, from womb to tomb
Damned be the soul that depends on the flesh
Damned be the flesh that depends on the soul
"Who then knows whence it has arisen
Whence this emanation hath arisen
Whether god disposed of it or whether he did not
Only he in the highest of heaven knows
Or perhaps he does not know"
The blood of the resurrected
The city of gold
The water of life
Wash yourself of all this, you'll transcend the mystery
Your initiation is complete
Mind what you have learned
Reflect the divine
Breathe not a single word
Keep it from the swine, they are mindless herds
They will surely fade

Gimme what I want
I could give a fuck if it's what I need
What is that substance you're shoving down your throat
Gimme some
What is that powder you're jamming up your nose
Gimme some
Try to tell myself I am better than this
I can do without
Reassure myself I am bigger than this
As I reach up for the clouds
The grass is always greener, peering towards the distant mindscape
A hollow sense of happiness
But who the hell really cares anyway
We will all end up in the grave
And when we both look back on it all
Who can say "I lived"
What the fuck do you care anyway
I just wanna get through this day
I've made my own choices and in the end
I fucking stand by them
Stand by your deeds, whether to help or deceive
Inhale
Exhale
It is the nature of the human race
To find ways to alter our state
And I would gladly join the wayward flock
To shed the shackles of this life I hate
