Rest easy, my love: we'll be home in a moment There's truly nothing to fear I know it's quite strange, but this traveling component Will ne'er again reappear I don't blame you for feeling afraid to go And your brothers and sisters will miss you But I promise to give you a loving home As warm as the month that you came When I look in your eyes, I'm as full as the ocean A world all fluid and free My heart's overrun by some unnamed emotion I wonder what it could be I've never cared for a creature so strange and pure So deserving of praise and affection But I promise to give you a loving home As warm as the month that you came You'll be safe, you'll be sound, and this I know: You'll be as loved as the might of your name You'll be as loved as the might of your name

Sunbeams 04:07
Give her a crown She's reigned over plushies, credenzas and beds for years now Double over and bow You didn't believe in her regality No need to atone She's more than inclined to forgive you, and here's how Just build her a throne A sorting of pillows all fit for a queen So approach her as you will You can take her in your arms But don't remove her far from the sill She's enraptured by the charms Of the sun Oh, the sun She loved the sun There she resides She sits by the window and basks in the light for ages Until she decides To join you if ever you make yourself known Then she'll be your guard Her highness can settle for startling wages But with her regard You'll never again want to leave her alone So approach her as you will You can take her in your arms But don't remove her far from the sill She's enraptured by the charms Of the sun Oh, the sun She loved the sun

There is a picture of you on a pillow Gazing at something unseen Something beyond these victorian walls This wash of crimson and green But while your thoughts are wise and fierce I'll never know their sense entire Though a strange, unnamed ingredient between our minds Can render some insight acquired I do remember a day in the springtime After I stepped through the door You came to meet me with a curious stare Those eyes that I so adore And in that time, my thoughts awry I put my faith in love alone I thought that my affection and my time with you Could spare you the malaise you've known I've well preserved these images of you In my devices and mind They do affirm all the grace of your truth They do your nature define All tenderness and decency Affections not of humankind We'll never be the vessels of the selflessness You had the sapience to find

When she move - pitter pat pat pat - She strikes with assassin's slash From shadows dash violent attacks You can’t quite imagine that She’s savage insane you cannot escape Day and night the hunter tracks With mandibles, fangs, intangible pain Better move cause she on yo ass Them knives goin in your back Your thoughts of survival pass Five per paw she slide her claw before your eyes like flash See the beast then it fades to black Them razor blades coming real fast No time for praying, amazing grace Nobody is savin your ass Midnight stalker, thin knife monster Even killed the kids: Anankin Skywalker Came, saw, conquered, terrorized Bugs see death before their eyes This god of death immortalized By turmoil left where we reside The scars she left on all or minds No where to run no where to hide Got gorgon eyes, we petrified Voltron could form won’t protect ya hide No Dr. Jekyll or Mr. Hyde This monster's genius all of time When she come around it’s all of our time So say your goodbyes and swallow your pride Her followin eyes are hauntin your life Cause no one survives her massacre strikes Played like a doll Her teeth and claws befall You've no way, no way at all To dull or blunt Her Nails like a blade This is her crusade You've no way to ever dissuade The insect hunter What you know about them shadows? You ain’t been through no battles You ain’t really earn them scars, You ain’t been alone in the dark She’s thuggish ruggish for real You on the rug trynna heal Get carpet bombed with claws and paws This carnivores on ya heels She’s queen of the dark dimension In her den you get lost in seconds Can’t count the loss of yall brethren, man Down there it’s like a life sentence, man That fear is so sweet scented She just stalks the dark for its essence She so macabre with her methods With them sordid arts she’s a legend Now why have I taught these lessons? Cause counting ya blessing won’t do shit She’s a god among you peasants Them pleasant thoughts just useless Split necks like pez dispensers Don’t second guess your movements One swipe and heads get severed She loves that. Bring ya whole crew, shit She plays with her prey, that’s crucial They call it cruel and unusual So moves ya ass and don’t like back That fear you have ain’t mutual She get a hold of your body? It ain’t comin for the funeral No suits or ties she watch you die Only closed casket is suitable Played like a doll Her teeth and claws befall You've no way, no way at all To dull or blunt Her Nails like a blade This is her crusade You've no way to ever dissuade The insect hunter

I awake For something in my system does remind me it's incomplete And for a time, I'm left to quell my appetites alone I await Your imminent revival to the day: a strange conceit You're not aware of all the intimations I have shown If only my anatomy could able myself To retrieve my dainty delicacies without your indolent support All of my anxieties of hunger and health Would dissolve, but these are dreams All immaterial and so I turn to you Will you indulge this whimsical girl And give her all the food in the world Contenting thus her soul? What will you do? Put all your trite affections aside And with these smart refections applied, I'm whole It's getting dark You've taken to your tired, unwound positions: you're done for the night And I'm inclined to likewise seize this moment of repose Now I embark Within my imagination, on a dream that's vivid and bright I pray the days ahead are so delectably composed It's true my inability to fend for myself Seems to bind me to reliance and debilitate my agency But all of my anxieties of hunger and health Are resolved, for your compassion keeps me fed and warm and so I turn to you Will you indulge this whimsical girl And yield to all the love in the world She carries in her soul? What will you do? Let's put the day's defections aside And with your snug affections applied, I'm whole

Ghost Light 04:08
Am I disgraced? Devoid of all fortune befalls upon our race? I just don't know If e're the jaws of love will yield and open wide For me I thought I'd wait And use the passing time to learn to stand up straight 'Cause I had you My little animal companion by my side You see You were my ghost light A single star within the void With you, I'd boast might You kept my confidence employed Assurance, then, would fit me like a glove To think that I was worthy of your love But now you're gone I can't believe I have to learn to carry on Without you here, The floor will disappear from under all I know Is there a way To save the memory of your humor from decay? For if things don't change, It might be all the means I'll ever have to grow In times of fear and rancor The dead can still be anchors You are my ghost light Haunting my sadness with your joy I still can boast might Your memory keeps my faith employed Assurance still does fit me like a glove Achieving my salvation from your love

From the time you were born, The only thing you're guaranteed is me And I've sworn To tear you all apart I am old to the bone But I've aged like a redwood I have woes of my own All the wrath of an angel scorned by God This is my manifest My history inscribed Now learn me, you wingless bile And all that I've derived These rules, I've bred from reticence Before I had my say I've learned, in lieu of endless life, It serves to make you mortals go away I'm as cold as a frost Ancient as broken hearts I'm all you've lost, Or don't you recall? Light as a dime Bold as a dragon breathing fire And in time, You'll know me as the maker of your fall This is my manifest My blackened wings unfurled I stand parched and realized And poised to drink the world But here in this realm of mine Not all is as it seems In spite of my appetite, This all could prove a nightmare, Or a dream

Comprised of the solemnest memories, I wander outside of the door But here, it's nothing but evergreens The winter should bare something more From the sky fall erratic formations Each snowflake is one of a kind Could one fall in the shape of a gravestone? An evanescent goodbye I don't need you I'm ok I don't believe you Anyway Will you just leave me All alone to grieve? See, I don't need your advice Go build her the churches Not of bricks, or birches, Have them made, made of ice With death comes ephemeral listlessness The time to engender the scene Bearing anger and arduous wistfulness All among winter's whites and its greens I don't need you I'm ok I don't believe you Anyway Will you just leave me All alone to grieve? See, I don't need your advice Go build her the churches Not of bricks, or birches, Have them made, made of ice

Their last song echoes Through a tavern of stone and glass The only thing left to do is to square up my tab But I can't let go Of their vanishing epitaph It'll be quite a while before I step outside for the cab I don't even remember where I was before What will be there when I step through the door? Could be the winter, the summer or spring I don't care Sometimes it's good to be Stationary And just a bit forgetful of the road For there, you'll find The piece of mind You carry with you when you choose to go The band's departed The hickory, wooden stage The crowd starts to mumble a tone-deaf kind of rapport It had only just started Already they've disengaged There's more to the world than what motion will try to restore I don't even remember where I was before What will be there when I step through the door? Could be the winter, the summer or spring I don't care Sometimes it's good to be Stationary And just a bit forgetful of the road For there, you'll find The piece of mind You carry with you when you choose to go But time goes on And dreams are spawned By nothing more than simply staying still And then I take the road I take the road A memory's canonizing to fulfill

I was once of the mind that a broken heart was not a necessity By design, it lays siege to elation forevermore Oh, but Time, as we find one another, stirs an ancient recipe It never fails to remove all the bonds in your reservoir Now this heart that I thought secure Is rent for losing you, who I've adored But I have found a method to endure By welding all these woes into a sword Oh, how many times I've cried It's been unendurable since you've died Despair is a hurricane, with ends notorious But I'm not afraid to sink Or to be harrowed to the brink I will outlive the fray, and emerge the warrior I'll admit the allure of denial: to walk away from all the pain I didn't care if the bleeding became internalized But the blood in the dams of my fabrication then oxidized into a rain Then it fell So does grieving shiver off all disguise Now this heart that I thought secure Is rent for losing you, who I've adored But I have found a method to endure By welding all these woes into a sword Oh, how many times How many times No, I'm not afraid to sink Or to be harrowed to the brink I will outlive the fray, and emerge the warrior

In Waves 02:50
In spite of my jovial guise, I've tears that do seldom appear through my eyes They haunt me on vulnerable days No matter my will, I can't wish them away But I've no regrets On how they came to be I've loved and I've lost A sadness spawned from glee On the kaleidoscopic shores of our minds Do our thoughts sway from breath to the grave So, when the sands of time make memories strange, Head to sea, and remember in waves This world is perplexing at best It defies expectation and curses the blessed When calm seems secured and surveyed, A maelstrom of troubles is sure on its way But don't be afraid Of where your trials may go Your nerves will never leave you Unless you spurn the flow On the kaleidoscopic shores of our minds Do our thoughts sway from breath to the grave So, when the sands of time make memories strange, Head to sea, and remember in waves Let us try and indulge in our whims for a change Head to sea, and remember in waves
