Old Growth

The past repeats itself
Renders my sins anew
Mold bred to make us rule
Guide us to fruits of doom
Dark vibes reach out
From the spores
Little epiphanies
From heirs of before
Daze of imagination soars
Slaves ripe for seduction wars
The fungus calling to us
Begging for digestion
Blacks seeds of the old growth
Black seeds of the old growth
Black seed of the old growth
The past repeats itself
Black seed of the old growth
Render my sins anew
Black seed of the old growth
You did it to yourself
You ripped the stock down
Mildew people devoured raw
Lost in the spiral of rot

Fossils

This is a reminder
of buried debris
my sordid past
Deemed unworthy
They were deadly reptiles
Never to be seen again
They don't know me
They can't see me
They know nothing
I chose
to disassociate
After years grinding apart
Forging a dream to fill my heart
Betrayed and dismissed
For my intent
my self sabotage
My teachers
my friends
my pets
Separate forever
Left me with spoiled hands
to build their temple
from their fossils
The end result is beautiful
They thought to subvert
They did their worst
Reptiles do not discern
but through their fossils
I watch them burn

Nothing Left
Sand replaces flesh
Atrition
Body decay
Dissolution
Changes
I can't escape
Drifting apart
Makes you think again
Working so hard to get nowhere
Nothing left
Sand replaces the flesh
Sand replaces the flesh
No longer a means to an end
A means to an end
A means to an end
Nothing left
Sand replaces flesh
Damnation
Substance sedates
Self destruction
Slip ups
I can't erase
Drifting apart
Makes you think again
Working so hard to get nowhere
Drifting apart
Made to breathe again
Travelled this far to start over
My shattered mind
My scattered body
Out of reach
My soul has eroded
My soul has eroded
Out of reach
My soul has eroded

Patience could have saved you
You could not wait to be the fool
Your amber serpentine eyes
Belie your pride
The guilt that you hide
We know just what you are
Defined by your failures
Left with no saviour
Finally you commit
To cut your dagger teeth
Bring us winds of change
Let our world be reclaimed
We know just what you are
Defined by your failures
Left with no saviour
You now know what you are
With vestigial arms
Tyrants only get so far
Your skeletons
Have tumbled out for all to see
Your sycophantic row
Is all a dog and pony show
We know just what you are
Defined by your failures
Left with no saviour
You now know what you are
With vestigial arms
You'll only get so far
We know what you are
We know what you are
We know what you are

Ancient plates shift in our favour
Unknown to us
The end is our saviour
The fuss we put up
For these millennia
A wasted effort
Like a pest earth will discard us
Ripped from shifting skin
Like leeches torn from the dying sick
Gaea's healing must begin
With the end of human sin
These stunted lives
We're trapped in ruin
The cycle of vanity we live
Gaea's healing must begin
The cycle of vanity we live
Ancient plates shift in our favour
Uknown to us
Drop the city into the sea
Return to nature
Havoc of freedom that we wreak
The end we asked for
Justify the fear held for centuries
Centuries spent speculating
Our doomed destiny
This wasted life
Is unsustainable
We can't live like this
Anymore
It's too late to change
We must embrace death
