I awakened in the new moon
Fell from the sky like a drop of water.
Mycelium pulsing
at the roots of my feet.
Spores at the tips of my fingers.

Take it all in moderation
It’s happening, it’s not a question
I seem to lack the motivation
Time seems still, but it’s in motion.
I’m staying rooted to this damaged earth
Asking for my answers to be heard
Revoke through decomposition
Ultimately we don’t want to die
Our root networks connect, we can’t deny
Mycelial retribution
You took it all without thought
You can’t see it’s all we’ve got
Planting seeds to change your mind
Can sometimes feel like falling behind.
I’m staying rooted to this damaged earth
Asking for my answers to be heard
Revoke through decomposition
Ultimately we don’t want to die
Our root networks connect, we can’t deny
Mycelial retribution
Revoke through decomposition
You don’t get to make decisions
Cerebral germination
Mycelial retribution.

You watch me turn, I’m feeling queasy
There’s so much to learn on this journey
It gets so dark when it takes over me
Is this who we are, how it’s meant to be?
Time’s running out
We are destroying it
We watch it turn, but can’t we see
There’s no time to learn, there’s no more journey
It gets so dark when I sense how time’s flying by me
Look at what we are, how it’s meant to be.
Time’s running out
We are destroying it
Time’s running out
Clawing our way out of it
You watch me turn, there’s so much to learn
It gets so dark, is this who we are?
We watch it turn, there’s no more time to learn
It gets so dark, look at what we are now.
You watch me turn, there’s so much to learn
It gets so dark, is this who we are?
We watch it turn, there’s no more time to learn
It gets so dark, look at what we are now.

Empty

When it rains it pours they say
I feel like I could drown
Clouds blocking the light above
And I don’t know where to go
Who am I? Who are you?
Where am I? Where are you?
Up all night I toss and turn
The voice inside won’t stop
To acknowledge is to learn they’re here
And make the fader drop
Who am I? Who are you?
Where am I? Where are you?
They all hate you
They don’t want to hear you speak
You must drain you, but they will never be pleased.
Who am I? Who are you?
Where am I? Where are you?
Empty words
Surrounding all of me
Empty words bleeding inside of me
Empty words
Surrounding all of me
Empty words
Bleeding inside of me.

Summer
01:36
|

Laying on the ground, I stare beside me
Past the lakes of moss
To the massive fern hills
And dandelion trees.
If something so small can appear
As grand and neverending,
Then how much have we really done to this place?

I’ve been quiet for a long time
I’m underground, I’m underground
I’ve been hiding for most of my life
Time to come out, time to come out
I will face my fears, if it saves the lives of others
If you can’t be heard, I will sing it louder for you
Know I love you so, my original doll
They can’t fool us with their illusions
There’s so much I don’t know
And it makes me feel small
Electric hymns in the wind
Call on me, call on me
I’ll set you free, set you free
I will face my fears if it saves the lives of others
If you can’t be heard, I will sing it louder for you
Know I love you so, my original doll
They can’t fool us with their illusions
There’s so much I don’t know
And it makes me feel small
Electric hymns in the wind
Call on me, call on me
I’ll set you free, set you free

Watching my eyes aglow
Steaming, scorching waters flow
Screeching a warning sign
Taking back what was mine
Watch my eyes
Feel the heat
Years of rage
Built in my teeth
“Thou shalt go no further
Nor touch the man,” you shudder
“Go back”
Go back
Go back
Go back
Go back
Watch my eyes
Feel the heat
Years of rage
Built in my teeth
Go back
Go back
Go back
Go back
You may think I have gone
But you’re simply wrong
I’ll come back!
I'll come back
I'll come back
I'll come back
I'll come back

Autumn

Worship it, romanticize it
It'll never truly disintegrate
This religion is engrained in us
The artificial in human nature
Harvest all that you can to survive
A dead city of remnants of the past

Nothing’s going on, nothing’s going on
Yet the feeling’s coming back
Something’s going on, something’s going on
Unsure of what I believe
The pressure’s building up, the pressure’s building up
Take the pain off my body
I’m about to rise up, I’m about to rise up
Oh, give me my release
I’ve been waking up
In fear of the days ahead
I can sense the heat
Smoldering within me
I’ve been waking up
In fear of the days ahead
I can sense the heat
Smoldering within me

Creature of the moon
The truth is in your blood
Don’t apologize
Altered by the earth
The ground that brought you here
Don’t apologize
The sky calls your name
You didn’t choose for things to be this way
Creature of the moon
Your fate’s been set since birth
Don’t apologize
Altered by the earth
You’ve used what you can get
Don’t apologize
The sky calls your name
You didn’t choose for things to be this way
The stars call your name
You didn’t choose for things to be this way
I can feel the sadness
Of this painful planet
The ground that brought you here
Creature of the moon
I can see the traffic
A weight of grief that’s creeping
You’ve used what you can get
Creature of the Earth.

You say I have this destiny
You won’t let go and it’s killing me
I’m only here to fight this war
You keep telling me there’s something more
You say it lies within the eye
They’ve written out my destiny
I hear its song and it’s calling me
I’m not your savior I have brought you death
And I already had my last breath
It did not lie within the eye
I saw myself, I saw myself, I saw myself, I saw myself.
Who am I? Tell me why I’m here
What am I? Make me disappear
I saw myself burnt into the ground
The song died with what I had found
Listen for the sound
I’ve been here all along
I’m the harbinger of death
Not the one to guide you home.

Meet me in your dream
See me moving
Interweaving
Hold me in your dream
Am I in your dream?
A shadow in the haze
Glowing, haunting
Touch me, go ablaze
Am I in your dream?
A shadow in the haze
Glowing, haunting
Touch me, go ablaze
Am I in your dream?
A shadow in the haze
Glowing, haunting
Touch me, go ablaze
I can feel the sadness
Of this painful planet
The ground that brought you here
Creature of the moon
I can see the traffic
A weight of grief that’s creeping
You’ve used what you can get
Creature of the Earth.
