I. Delirium 03:29
Delirium did steal him away In the darkness there to play Delirium is what they say he knows It’s where all the pain goes No longer to the strings He gave up those pretty things For the shine of the bottle I saw a fire in the air In the darkness In the darkness I don’t care Illuminate their edge But they can't reach us here Delirium A single hand floating in the space Lighting the hand which lights the man Funny flame don't stay lit When you strum your darkest chord Who will return the light? Many generations hanging on the same black cloud of night Never to take flight, but through song Delirium I saw a fire in the air In the darkness In the darkness I don’t care Lord, I've seen many a sunset, a son fall Less did I watch rise Left me hypnotized And now I know only lies Oh great disguise Oh great disguise Hypnotize me not for I am here Hypnotize me not for I know fear Hypnotize me not for I know pain Hypnotize me not I’m already insane

II. Ceremony 04:47
In the silence you said, hey. So the challenge becomes the way. Feeling the demons, but also the spirits Can we converse with the ether ? Seances must be held Could you feel pain if there was no time? Would you exist? Black mass moments That’s all i know you as To see you in the sunshine Would be an apparition of a dream. Yet even in the darkness I will always see the light of your eyes Deny the vision all you want to All shadows are cast by light. Close to ends. Wondering how to tie them. hello old friend Do you see the cloak that you now wear? Alas cast away the disguises At some point we surely divide Rest in Peace Here lies the true form beneath Say, farewell old friend. Some other lifetime you seed Only sharp thoughts make the dahlia bleed Falling into the hazy dream Remembering hues in waves We eclipsed in the aura of cosmic suns Lost in a prism of a place Repeating backwards into space So close yet so far out. The illusions of the mind. The cyclical inspiration Forever on the ride Don’t worry you won’t get out alive Black mass moments That’s all i know you as To see you in the sunshine Would be an apparition of a dream. Yet even in the darkness I will always see the light of your eyes Deny the vision all you want to All shadows are cast by light. In a trance the ceremony hardly remembered the clocked subconscious traces the perimeter of the mind waiting for the right moment to spill..spill..spill credits

When I walked the galleries I held you in my hands A pencil & a paper so I could try and understand I made a list of all the things to do, and on the back I wrote a poem. Just threw it away, these thoughts fill my mind every day. Dug through the trash with my bare hands, and pulled out a crumpled yellow page And on the back would you believe the words I read? “How goes the outside world? Now I this is all I know. When joys become chains, that’ll make you go insane.” Dancing in the aftermath of faded feats and loons All the ones occupied and checked out too soon Insatiable the taste for a fresh way to erase. If there could be a bill to reinstill daily thrill would it go and wipe away all the thoughts? If fresh palettes are redemption, I’ve got nothing left to paint, but I sure smear my soul all over the fretboards until returns the silence Yet when there be a sound it is the gentle hymn filling every bone The warmest moments of existence, and when they’re gone I am cold. How goes the outside world? Now I this is all I know. When joys become chains, that’ll make you go insane. Stop numbing the pain. You’ve been here before. Now bound by shackles the seed, but i will not watch the souls defeat.

IV. Locura 04:46
Are you following the story? It burns to clear the air spring monsoons slow the time and there’s nowhere left to go the sticks that burn to make your spirit must be chosen wisely or get lost in the mist of flesh and gold that keep us here Like a barrel of pearls made of sand, every way the cold waves did crack at our feet. I called to you You ran to me In some sort of dream Hop aboard Purgatory Junction Next stop - Mad Assumptions Es la hora de la locura {It's the hour of madness} Every time i try to find a way to get by Our meetings are a meditation To resolve the connection with the eternal Take a revolution around the hips. Saturn rings fingertips. Thick like jupiter’s thighs. Plundered to wet perfection Raincheck! The daily torment Is building up Inside the walls We’re building new fortresses! Impenetrable beyond all virtue Parked in the fields in my mind in fields of flowers on the rails I’m here. Me too. Es la hora de la locura Every time i try to find a way to get by The magician levitates her skull form the crown. It must have been this moment between waking and dreaming when you slipped away Flash of love Let’s feel one more time. I can no longer contain this dream I have

V. Salvation 05:37
I loved you inside a storm It was the eye which kept me warm At the center, no confusion Destructive winds At the mountain of salvation we danced Crowned the crimson land Our blood soaked the sand Our energy moved lands I heard a rumor once They say the snake loves the sea His golden body binds me And never sets me free Holding forever In land of dark meditation Feel me in all silent perspiration My simple rose dahlia My simple rose dahlia You cry blood in my hand I wonder how to fix you I wonder how to heal you Instead petals fall to the sand Oh dahlia I loved you once Then you returned in spring Water fell from my eyes because You are a song I liked to sing The gentle wind, your gentle breathing as Meadow Dreams return drift to slumber in the field between my shoulder blades Flower now flame drips red wax to a promise Sealed in the thighs of a lover? What about your other mission? The one you had so long ago It held you like a child And said, never let me go What holds you now? Within the walls of the kingdom Lie-makers of hazy scenes Harrow the addiction Solace milks cream Disappearing now into the dream Distressing all desires The cure and cause of all pain which acquires White lies, forget your mind Only you make you sigh Extreme manic ultra panic All the demons rise Stellar rarity, you freak rogue Have you got a story to be told True position , recall the mission End the battle of me myself and why Aimless wonder, recall the plunder Revolutionize...yourself! No more white lies, justified Keep the spirits high Can't help but feel it all so when you don't you get the withdrawals. Green oasis flash of light After greatest darkness, comes the horizon

Picked you in a winter spring Heard you laugh even sing When the sun shown through a thick, mad sky You fell forever The darkest curtsy of things unsaid News report and the coroner read Darling I’m slipping away And I’m not so sneaky As the time when you first kissed me But i still remember you there And we’re already singing Might as well carry on I've been wondering how you’ve been doing I've been wondering how you've been feeling Because you don't come around more The space between pictures Like cherries on a tree Painted blue Where the branches used to be I've been wondering how you've been doing I've been wondering how you've been feeling Because you don't come around more

I. When I went out walking I saw upon the ground a friend Faith or will I do find in my hand but where to fly? Your treasures you do spread across the land Your treasures you once spread across my hands But I don't see. How could I see. That every little piece of you is me When I go away, all that’s left of you are flowers in the sky You run upon the hill But why, but why? What will the spring bring? The cactus blooms, but your thorns are still kept All I ever wanted was to explore the depths. You wanna go? Just let me know Noel. II. Has it come to this We enter the hall You tumble and fall Strange kingdom of pleasure and color The earth is dry, but she is wet Meadow dreams come inside and when you're done run and hide Does it taste as sweet as the place where where green hills meet...milky thighs Many lifetimes many muses spent running from the muse within Oh, what a sin. Patterns change and then you die Patterns change you realize Ephemeral wonder The kingdom rise what once disguised gentle beams of light upon your bones and what could not grow into the silent dream. What you feel horizon reveals The truth that you ignored must now breathe Confusion fills pleasure Lovers last a moment I am tortured not to forget And what is the whisper, but the silent songbird’s cry Come and asking me to give up all my pride So that he can love So that we can love As if the moment will never die But why, but why? What will the spring bring?

You make me high You reach for my thigh Your hand in mind Remembering hues in waves Remembering you in ways Now I only spill Now I only spill Water on our graves Oh, how I trembled Oh, how I held my head At what potential hides a man, in a mask of the night I walked on for several days then Wondering when I would sleep If I could keep a kingdom in my mind If I could stop from thinking about you all the time If I could keep a kingdom in my mind

IX. Serenity 04:10
Liquid sunshine of endless promises Of all the lost souls joining in endless harmonies Fueling all your dreams and all your feels Resulting in pure ecstasy And nothing else I promise? And nothing else, I promise. Got them liquid blues Got down on ocean pews Asking, where is Serenity? The blue-grey wake brought in sapphire gin. The bottle now drained, stands a ship, Which I have built with glassy tombs of little sips Shall you change your request? No. Message read, “Please send another”. Nevermind, nevermind. Where is she? Serenity. Could I quiet my mind please? Just this one time? In the dream we were flying In the dream we were dying In a circle of four we all held hands And waited to feel nothing Do you know what happened? My eyes fluttered open And I lay at the bottom In my bed I lay there in the silence, But I don't want to drown With the demons in my head Nothing and everything makes sense I followed a spiral down to the center A symbol of torrent all on the way The realms were opening All on the wake The veil was thinned than ever If only i could get it together That would be… Serenity.

X. Carnival 03:36
You’re feeling more focused now Your body feels lighter. Your troubles are drifting away now, Lifting into the breeze Each one of them turns into a granule of sand Different colors fill the air When you were a child Your father took you to the carnival You sat at a table with a glass bottle And filled it full of sand You were told to take it slowly Your mind is starting to wander, But you're coming back You decide to start with the red sand The first layer lays inside the bottle It’s time to choose a different color. Red, blue, green, yellow, pink There is white, even black What do you think ? So you reach for now the blue And add another layer The layers aren’t so even But they form a perfect gradient In a way it reminds you of a mountain that you have yet to climb, but see in your mind Every single layer Every little stripe of sand represents time How many eons have you witnessed? The silent land has witnessed them all Only one more layer to go now and it’s time to cap the bottle You hold it in your hand and return to the carnival All of a sudden it seems you like you’re in some sort of Black and white dream the only color that remains is your bottle of sand Imagine the scene unfolding, all these white little lights You hop on your favorite ride You decide Now you're on the top of the ferris wheel You open the cap of the bottle You turn it ever so softly ~ There is no more gravity now Each little granule of sand Is now floating through the air You are your father's smile Watch it all go by You can even see the moon from here as it reflects on the black sea all the colors of sand are floating before you Finally you are free Dissociating into matter each granule of sand is one of your troubles But some of them are also your joys You are dissociating into matter Now you take one deep breath (inhale) And as you exhale the only things that remain (whisper) Are the things that make you smile. Now you have a little more room in the bottle A little more space. As you hop off the ferris wheel the carnival is colored again The black and white dream has turned back into reality You hold the bottle of sand in your hand. You keep walking now, and one day you grow up you go and find that mountain Made of all the rainbow sand over eons of time Each layer filled the mountain in a gradient All the layers of all the earth's troubles Of all your troubles Have landed here And now you've climbed here Running out of breath You stare at the mountain from a nearby hill You breath deeply because you've seen the place where all your troubles have landed is still ~ All your troubles are still With every inhale and exhale You are reforming You are the calm breeze Blowing away like sand mandalas in the wind Forever On the ride
