Mercurial Passages

Fear in numbers<br/> Worlds tipped sideways<br/> Music ends with trumpets blaring<br/> The holy vessel is shattered<br/> The liquid of life<br/> Runs into the grey waters<br/> The shoreless sea beckons<br/> As we gaze into the distance<br/> All is liminal<br/> All is horizontal<br/> We exhale carbonmonoxide<br/> The Ouroborus lies motionless<br/> Locusts take over<br/> We have driven out the snake<br/> But the stranglehold of infinity<br/> Is now around our neck<br/> Wake up, you're dead<br/> Wake up, you're dead<br/> Wake up, you're dead<br/> Celebrate

Senselessly drifting<br/> We take what we're given<br/> Tall tales and blue pills<br/> Falling through the cracks<br/> Mirthless dreams in a limbo<br/> Mind coming apart<br/> Before your very eyes<br/> Another hundred years in a coma<br/> Futile resistance<br/> Let us sleep past<br/> This time of false dawns<br/> Until they appear<br/> Black swans on the field<br/> Out of the psychic blue

The sky is empty<br/> The silhouette is gone<br/> Rain without end<br/> Silence falls on deaf ears<br/> Cancerous dream<br/> Dance around the graves<br/> Still among the living<br/> No salvation<br/> Wolves gather<br/> Limitless view<br/> No shelter behind fallen trees<br/> Just like it's meant to be<br/> Swimming in a sea of light<br/> The vanishing point gets closer<br/> More beautiful than ever before<br/> The red giant<br/> Burns the tip of my tongue<br/> Pitch-black words keep falling<br/> From a bottomless well<br/> A spear like a ray of light<br/> As all our past incarnations<br/> Sink into the shadows<br/> Breathing new life into<br/> Ancient chaos

Perdition<br/> Cacophony<br/> Voices laughing and crying<br/> This is where three roads intersect<br/> The colourless mile feels endless<br/> I hold my breath<br/> Until the levee breaks<br/> And someone calls me<br/> By a different name<br/> I enter the void<br/> The abyss<br/> Between the lines<br/> On the palms of their hands<br/> Everything's white<br/> Words disintegrate<br/> Waking up with my eyes closed<br/> Paste and phlegm<br/> A string through my mouth<br/> Under the jaw<br/> Hands bound upon my chest<br/> The singing still resonates<br/> Within my abode<br/> Alive but laid to rest

A casket full of light<br/> Figures like smoke<br/> Colourless dreams<br/> Escape through the walls<br/> Into the infinite white<br/> Brightness of Mercury<br/> Poisoned thoughts<br/> Sink below the horizon<br/> Subconscious parasites<br/> A dreadful dance<br/> At the ruins of my soul<br/> In exile<br/> A wasteland of dreams<br/> Shapeless silver<br/> Turns into steel<br/> In the hands of a faceless queen<br/> Eyes like mirrors<br/> Shards of glass<br/> Cut through the lies<br/> A sharp pain<br/> Behind my eye<br/> Clairvoyance<br/> Blood dripping down the temples<br/> Absorbed into the sands of time

In darkness painted<br/> Whited sepulchres<br/> Gnawing<br/> Lifeforce<br/> In the chambers of my heart<br/> Pitch-black, cancerous radiance<br/> Glimmers in all its splendour<br/> It becomes me<br/> I've buried the ones I love<br/> Underneath the floor<br/> Burning dust settles<br/> As I enter through the door<br/> Ashes and wine<br/> Leave no trace<br/> On the rocks at the shore<br/> We're left scrambling<br/> With a burden<br/> This secret, laid upon<br/> A shallow grave<br/> Silence falls like drops of blood<br/> Haemorrhage<br/> The crimson curtain<br/> Shred to pieces<br/> Lucid dreams at dawn<br/> Pain unspoken<br/> A funereal omen<br/> Eyes covered<br/> From the sun

A candle flickers in the mirror<br/> Hands reaching to the other side<br/> I see a dark sail on the horizon<br/> The reflection never lies<br/> Words screaming<br/> Lungs failing<br/> The watchful eye<br/> Is growing tired<br/> Raindrops fall<br/> Like spears from the sky<br/> Forthcoming storm<br/> I force the hand of fate<br/> Summer's end<br/> Voices fade away<br/> Ripples in the water multiply<br/> Spears of scarlet light<br/> Shoot through the left temple
