There must be something in the air
To make the shapes blur and the colors run
A chemical reaction
That can explain this levitation
There is no will
Behind the wheel
Of this devious machine
Far as I can see
Contingency
Is our only operator
We can reconstruct
This broken life
Bend it back to serve again
You serve yourself
And no one else
Shapes formed as smoke drifts
Vanish, the snow melts
You serve yourself
And no one else
Violence born from our thought
Complicit without doubt
Whether we speak it or not
Tacit or screamed out
Sacrifice and cruelty
Share this cup of memory
You must be smoke in human shape
About to vanish without a trace
Dissolve suspended in the wind
If I were to pull you too close in
Nevertheless
You and I can make the best
Of this future and this past
We are not to blame
For the lives we take in vain
Hope to live another day
We can reconstruct
This broken life
Send it back to serve again
You serve none
Save yourself
Sovereign
Profane
We are briefly not alone
Burn a path to see the bone
And ash

I feel the earth
Trembling under stars
This is an astral gunfight
And we don't even have a knife
A knife
I feel the earth
Breathing beneath my feet
It bleeds and we bleed with it
It chokes and we choke with it
It burns and we burn with it
It burns and we burn with it
Every falling star lands somewhere
And every tale of saurian collapse
Ends the same way
Every falling star has to land somewhere
It burns and we burn with it
It burns and we burn with it
Every falling star lands somewhere
And every tale of saurian collapse
Ends the same way
Every dinosaur has its day to die
The deathstroke could be one asteroid away
And goodbye cruel world

Radiant Decay

Everything that we can see is merely
Glowing in its own entropy,
Secondhand by pale reflection
Or is backlit against the dying sun
Warming our hands by the coals
Of our own funeral pyre
Light is a harbinger
Of all that will expire
Feeding on the carcasses of stars
Embers from guttering fires
We eat the ashes
The briefest of flashes
Cold is the law and the way
Our final fate is
Radiant decay
In ever yawning space
Feeding on the carcasses of stars
Embers from guttering fires
We eat the ashes
The briefest of flashes
We live in the worst of all possible worlds
One by one, the stars will flee beyond
The reach of light to tell us where they have gone
This is our fate
We will perish, dark and cold
Candlesmoke diffusing softly
Into the void

Dead men with locusts underneath their skin
Wade the flooded churchyards where the sea pours in
Empty except the urge to feed
Nothing remains but the greed
Drink down the ocean, eat the mountains and the trees
Eat the fires and the feet below your knees
Empty except the urge to feed
Nothing remains but the greed
Ravenous ghosts and pious preachers of fear
Eyes shut, ears stopped, refusing to see or hear

Cold Noise

The most innocuous and innocent of things
Unbidden, unforeseen
Can summon forth despite your efforts not to see
Persistent memory
Merciless haunting guilt echoes and recurs
We could not save her
Though thoughts and prayers were sent
We could not save her
And she will not let us forget
For one golden moment you were free
Of her haunting
A straying eye, a careless word will bring her back
Driving us home again
We could not save her
Though thoughts and prayers were sent
We could not save her
And she will not let us forget
Leave the dead behind
They cannot help us now
They cannot stop us now
We must not be strangled by the hands of revenants
Around our necks
We must not be strangled by the hands of revenants
Wound around our memories like a noose around our necks
Let me go
Blood salt and rust
No less than memory
Herald the dead
Call them forth
Until we're forgotten
We are surrounded by ghosts
