You, wreathed with mold Fainted from their growl Find your starting line The home of your deed To the withering of the flowers Addle foam of their longing howls Rotten from their core, see them Feverish, endless selfishness I breathe and smother the air To burn it inside my mouth Through this fearless sense of dread The first mover is yet to come Dead wings fly higher Born from gloom Grown for you I’m the last tear of a drained well Chasing an echo of her existence Sunken in a polar embrace With a never birthed grace

Umbra 10:48
White shadows are seen at night In your deepest knowing, vicious self aware Humming thoughts from a common sight Summon a memory holding swamp lair I straighten and stagger along the aisle Fumbling quietly to avoid the Watcher's call It's pitch black, all silence sounds vile Until the morningrise reaches my wall Now I see her, following the river She sits on a rock, rose quartz Dresses in humble mild silver Gleaming the light that once was scarce Deny the humbug of your umbra Her touch is so real, so real
4.
Make a Knot 04:04
Make a knot and lift the veil In your senses, my nest Gold crease, your smile Moulds the day and heals my chest Come to me and make a knot My love and your face Your touch so far away From my hand and our lace A new blossom of feathers From swans in a gold bay Swimming like a Child And no birds of prey Come to me and make a knot A new blossom of feathers From swans in a gold bay Swimming like a Child Drown into the isle Flown for a new mind And no birds of prey
5.
I am the one with both hands on your shoulders Set to make you gasp Pulsing around your cold fence, as I grow you get tense I bet you feel the clasp No mischief is punished on my watch, my little one And I can see it all You may swear, you may prank, doesn't matter your intent But beware, you must crawl Will you follow me one last time, my little one or do you dare, do you dare to go alone? Hey there, my little one I already can smell that weakness I'm ready to take you to my empire To bury the things you don't know you desire Will you follow me one last time, my little one or do you dare, do you dare to go alone? Rid my mind Rid my mind You should know by now that I strictly lie to no one else but us Just like this mirror Rid my mind Rid my mind
6.
Layer by layer, dust to dust, can't we feast? As the Watcher unveils to seek the truth As the Child flees from the shattering waves A mournful night falls for a new day Can't we feast now? Dust to dust, from them to us Layer by layer, dead wings fly higher In this dream, I can see them Dismembered into the black rocks Below the old cascades of shining water Forgotten as the past of those who live longer In this ocean or another Above the circles of the fierce sea A call upon for a full bloom wonder To spread your wings and seize the clouds A new blossom of feathers From swans in a gold bay Swimming like a Child Drown into the isle Flown for a new mind And no birds of prey
7.
Mind stripped from poison Pure as the night’s blue Wreathed by dawn One sprout feather or two I feel my lightness Like in the days of yore I fly over his nest Like in tales of lore You swim in silk and greet the swans You sorrow by the truth for those who live on And like glass breaking in slow motion The twin spiral is gone Now fly over your old kind Go and dive into the spiral course glow That you saw in her eyes Could you see then what I feel now? You may come and take me I shall wait here
