Moments Ago 04:04
Daylight ushers in the dawn. Exit a sentient state, worn soles tread upon the light cast upon the ethereal path. Weightless strides carry me forward to the breach. Sunlight erases the shadows from the sins of the past. Replenished with new life, I can hardly believe that moments ago I was dead. Taking it in, the sight of a realm so bathed in light overwhelms me. Entranced by an aura of beauty beyond expression. Echoing whispers of wisdom merge with my tired soul. Ravaged the halls of my houses. Witnessing death and torment exacted by its cruel, gnarled hands. Fragments rattle inside of my body, forced to reform in the heat of the sun. I make my way back home to tend to the wounds of this tired soul. Healing light burns the ties to the pain from moments ago. Weightless strides carry me forward across the threshold of the breach. By virtue of cosmic will, I am brought back home.

Accolades 06:30
I was buried by my own hands, deep in the canyons of endless mist. Shovel dirt on the soul that wears my skin. Upon my re-entry into the world, a realized version of me takes shape to live again and change you. I once buried, exhumed from the void, gaze upon the ground as it fast approaches. The one that enters this world possesses the face of your salvation, made flesh. A dying vision now teems with life. Revelatory musings relentlessly take a hold of my mind and yearn to be one with the ground. I take what made my scars, repurposing its form of mal-intent, and unleash it to change the world. A beckoning voice of one that I try to forget. It screams its name as though it were once my own. Buried and breathing within the recesses of memory. So shall it remain. Dawn after dusk enslaves you, creation. My fervent will retched you forth from the depths of the cosmic abyss. My wretched spawn. The glorious power from the unknown takes its shape inside of you now. So shall it remain. I once lost, return to the world I left behind to live again. To live again. To live.

Amygdala 07:21
Piercing pain in my chest awakens my senses. The choices I’ve made have passed the point of revocation. Cosmic truth bursts from within my diseased heart and soul. I cannot remember the last time I truly had clarity of vision, as though the passing of time was entirely missed. It all comes flooding back. Sweet mutterings of lilac, the sound is so much sweeter than what I have wrought. I feel the fruits of my labor rot betwixt my fingers. Inside of its shell, there is thumping a heartbeat. Deep in its frame, there are signs of consciousness. So it spreads, permeating throughout its confines. It takes on a shape forged in chaos. No longer matters what served as the catalyst. The echoes of the past take their place in the brutal present. I feel my fate slip between my fingers. I am consumed by an overwhelming sense of doom. The grind of Fortuna’s wheel signals the end. I feel a part of me stretch beyond the limits of my physical body, tethered to the life of my creation. Its very life the source of my despair, I know not what I have wrought. Time, once again, has been forfeit.

It starts to breathe.

The light is fading as the very air begins to bend around a growing mass. The walls of its shell start to break apart and quickly dissolve in its undulating flesh. There come with it the murmurs of death. Rampant psychosis incites an explosion of violence amongst the people I once knew. All of their faces contort in mangled rage and hysteria. Ripping and tearing and stabbing into the flesh of each other, their will is no longer their own. The sinews inside of the freshly made corpses make motion of their bones. Have I lost my fucking mind? I struggle to regain my footing. I can see that I’m bleeding out. Then deep inside my mind, a sonorous voice is offering swift release of my pain. All I need to do is die. I never asked for any of this. I’m now the victim of someone else’s design. Those who followed are rendered empty, mutated husks of their former selves, neither living or dead. Willfully grasping the hands of this abomination, I let myself go. Nothing left of their body remains. The last of their psyche dissolves, assimilating them to the hive mind. Inexorable roots dig deep. What once was dormant now lay claim to everything. Just give in.

I Remain 06:58
Your mortal dominion now cradles God. The deadened faces stare lifeless with ashen gaze. Emerging. Writhing from a dark and soulless mass. Pathetic, impermanent frames are broken down and re-purposed. Emblematic failure takes its shape from the animated dead. Emerging from my planetary chrysalis, A devastated landscape vomits me forth into existence. Gaze upon the face of your apotheosis. Genetic assimilation: a violent birth for malevolent intelligence. Deep within your trembling bones, you know that I remain intrinsically entwined with your subconscious. Desperate achievement and manic progress disguises the salient fucking point. You are not the victim of manipulation. I am born in your demented image. Trailing in your shadow, your somber voice of counsel is what you made of me. Nursing your wounds. Nurturing your hate. Destiny fulfilled as a monument to all your sins. I once buried and breathing within the corners of your mind, now made flesh. My twisted body ascends, piercing the sky. The age of humanity has met its cathartic end. Do yourself a favor, and follow in tandem with those before you. Commit to your death.
8.
Torn between worlds, intangible forces dissolve my sanity. Crushed by the weight of my failure. Remnants of my vision stretch across the skyline. Lofty aspirations grounded, reverberating damnation. I have manifested an all-familiar desert. A tainted landscape tinted with ash, sounding echoes of evisceration. The gilded walls of this perverted temple mock my very name. They lead me to my grave. I have lost the foundation of reason to the void. Strewn across time, laid to rest among the dead. Coward. Secrets of wisdom now unearthed (Oh) by the hands of a fool. Fire from the devastated plains lights my path through the killing field. Sordid remains of ill-begotten ambitions pave the ground. One more step towards the grave. A little more is taken from me with every motion. The silence of death amplifies the scream caught in my throat. (Oh) So shall it remain. I deserve this. Faces of my past circulate amidst the sea of bodies. Ignoring their piercing screams, my head intensely throbs. Another piece of myself is left behind as I leave them to die. The painful cries of the damned hides the scream caught in my throat. The sky begins to open. The Gods of Decay have followed me home. Crushing the bones of those caught in the path of my footsteps. Sanctuary peaks above the bloodied horizon. Booming sounds of pursuit echo behind me. I will assume my place in the dirt, and leave them all to die (leave them all to die). So shall I remain.
