Down There 06:22
how long has it been? I was sleeping here on this moon alone satellite to the world where I was born in this eclipse I'd fold hiding in this shelter I'll silent my mouth countless voices in my head shout unable to face the frightening truth that everything is nothing I'd run away, became a faithless hermit locked feelings in a safe too scared to move and just too weak to stand watching and prying from this secluded hill a shut and blackened halo I switched my lights off I pulled my curtain down told myself there's no more shows for me now time to sleep time to freeze time to avoid the effort to live has it always been like this? have I always felt this way? did I see things this way the first time I had my gaze on this place? still remain shards of pictures the colours the smells the lights everything was astonishing then everything spoke to me the embrace of the branches the dance of the flames the life spreading sun the chilling kiss of rain waters ran fluent in the river I was evolution pinnacle that never stops to grow what could have changed all this? who stole that thauma from me? who killed the elated child? who drawn with clouds my clear sky? I know the deceiver, the liar, the thief I've seen the killer digging inside me that fiend that grabbed the child and brought him away put him in a lifeless corpse and threw the key down there where the sphere turns carelessly looking too awful for me now I can see the key blinking to me jewel sparkling from the black depths of the sea but I won't reach it just stretching my arm I will need to walk right towards my fear so now there I go just a dive to take a step to move one leap of faith comfort to elude I need to un-wear this armour or I'll sink gotta travel light, seamlessly no welcoming friends on that far land by myself through forests and sand for the picture to be whole again to write again the tale I am time to abandon the moon time to throw myself to fall down there time to breathe time to leave time to dare the effort to live

Dark Matter 05:26
fading like shades touched by the sun in a black and white landscape the flame cried by the gun that I triggered in my soul is clearing out the echoes of the war-drums in my skull at will I fall at will I reach the bottom where I remember that there's no place nothing more to know at will I fall at will I reach the bottom reading inside myself the living code I need to learn shaping dark matter into my new glowing sword sharpening the blade to cut roots standing up like walls leaving my safe cell to crawl beneath mud and worms forging new metal from the contrast between cold and warm sculpting brand new forms writing with my blood waves of black clouds are submerging me but still I breathe seeking the light I’ll thrust myself upwards and I'll see the fire that never leaves diving into dark matter to breach the core of descending swimming into black tides to find new ascendings new limits at will I fall at will I reach the bottom where I remember that there's no place nothing more to know at will I fall at will I reach the bottom reading inside myself the living code I need to learn

you were knocking a subtle sound from my closed brain's doors strictly marked un-paused a clock's ticking in my soul slowly arose to show me more calling my name with no voice you’ve been asking about my choice know these things I did and didn't though I felt rhythm for sure the doors are opened now please come in cast inside your clearing beam show me what I did forget get rid of the deceived disintegrate all my illusions take off from me pick piece by piece the lying mosaic you were knocking at my brain's door

comes with me my oldest friend her who's always been walking beside me slip safe behind me and follow my steps be the cloak that wraps my back show me the darkness that I can project stain the ground paint my path shed by my shape display twist reflect changing your size you keep being preserved hiding at times hungry you'll come back eager to claim the right to get your share climbing my mountain I carry your weight from my ankle still you hang willing to pull me where I cannot breathe choking love you feel for me walk with me I don't mind the threat how could I now divide my self? strong and wise of your behavior I've grown looking you straight inside a new peaceful gaze has my mind while darkness is looking at me I'm looking at her as well slip safe behind me and follow my steps be the cloak that wraps my back show me the darkness that I can project stain the ground paint my path I know you now I stopped the run to face the hound I used to call you Seth how wrong I was I found shed by my shape display twist reflect changing your size you keep being preserved hiding at times hungry you'll come back eager to claim the right to get your share darkness walks silent beside while I look her straight in the eye some places I’m in are void of light but I can use my eyeless sight always remind me to push and to delve to look deep beyond the flesh I'll save you because you're the black in my scale in this unity to preserve

BACK Everything is Nothing chains grew strong inside their heads leashed they were to fake warm breasts planted in the soil that gave them birth they went through their lives without moving steps gripped to their beliefs safe in ignorance they refused to put their minds to the test precious rules kept them enslaved die for lies and live engraved everything's nothing but the image of what them that we can't see had designed to be what we have to believe this whole world is led by shepherds without face blind sheep rushing to dead space planted in the soil that gave them birth they went through their lives without moving steps gripped to their beliefs safe in ignorance they refused to put their minds to the test there is no light for the eyes that can't bear the weight of a path to walk with no guide there is no light for the eyes that can't bear the weight of a path to walk with no guide there is no light for the eyes that can't bear the weight of a path to walk with no guide

Osiris 05:13
hunting down his true face firmly he stood right before twisted reflections of mirrors fell down from above praying to ease his own gods the dark sister he fought twin nemesis inside he tried to sacrifice once he lost the fight for his mind to be his own in pieces he was cut spread all over the earth each poor piece alone sought for rejoining the one soul wandering like a blind swarm for senseless ages they were floating in unknown seas or borrowing through the stones trapped down deep underground chased by the noise of crowds shards of consciousness lost chaos established its laws pain was too much to bear sanity lost its home but there was a bright spark of love that always endured the war he was reforged fed by new lifeblood arose once again to bring light and prosperity wisdom built newly brick by brick a new strength born by aware vulnerability a new mind achieved able to see things there to guard the gates of his heaven and hell a well calibrated libra to weigh the hearts of ideas and read the language of the world a powerful hand to keep control and bright eyes to read the secret code alpha and omega he was then master of life and death of all brought back again to never crumble anymore god of black and white god of his own living dogma a flourishing seed of light he was nothing to trash or fear iridescent portrait never framed always growing painting life filling void king of his land now with crown of spirit hanging above him free from deceiving his war is over Seth is now kneeling he found his Isis a new sun's breeding

These Years 06:06
looking to pictures I carry inside stuck to my sight I realise where I come from I recall me sitting on spiked walls hope in a box like a heart beating corpse but something in me wasn't still I felt a thrill drilling from my deepest womb sneaking to find things above a wise snake found his own way to reach that reason that I forgot I had my hidden chest suddenly charmed by golden eyes I then promised to prove I was alive and so I walked I came down here to touch things left my shelter to face the dive that I feared I met the sphere far I walked even when I wasn't moving at all moved within breathing thoughts I can see ancient hidden things far I walked but never moved at all I walked just sitting calm there I moved within thinking breath I've been running like a crazy horse without even setting a goal thirsty before a waterfall hungry refusing any food and so I walked I came down here to touch things left my shelter to face the world that I feared I embraced the sphere day after day I was sinking deeper like a vessel with a breach in the hull I got drunk tides of knowledge rushed inside pulled me where there's no light downwards through oceans whirling through the maelstroms where the speeches have no words where silence speaks out loud day after day I was sinking deeper like a ship with a hole in the hull I got drunk tides of knowledge rushed inside pulled me where there's no light where the geometry of forms melts into the sound new colours and lights quick movements of my eyes in dreams I roamed awake talking to all my shades all those faces all discordant all belonging to my inner self that void that I've always ran from eventually shown itself to be my home I covered the distance between moon and earth between earth and sun I've walked through the stars I've been living inside black holes where the gravity catches all I've escaped from where photons can't gone back to the flames of hell by choice burnt my flesh writing with my blood about my endeavors living code human hieroglyph a vibrant scroll eager to live always thankful to feel no more frightened to leave

electric movement transforming energies synapses of the sphere colliding particles dodging meteorites field of order chaos consists millions of cells running through crowded veins streams of holons thoughts freed from the brain inter-penetration full disintegration eternal pointless race void of a start or goal the track without a trail that no one built and no one knows perspectives and proportion that change adapt themselves mislead the senses charming smiling mysteries of the chance arrows fly weak from the unfocused archer astigmatism turns each brick into a mountain digging this well looking for wealth the creature forgets the meaning of health inter-penetration full disintegration inter-penetration in isolation melting into full disintegration kept bound within a masochistic connection with nets of deceit answers lie there beg to be heard buried under fear grief and blood like a feral animal kept locked restless essence screams truths never told madly shaking in a flesh made hold hits and cracks the walls of its own home entire worlds multiplied by a myriad of subjective minds unwritten choice possibilities interpretations sciences beliefs train of thoughts visions and words pauses periods inexhaustible source of scripts telling themselves depicting souls footprints on the sand an ancient blow with low voice sighs throughout the world an inner song arising from within an eyeless vision shows the bringer of grief a ronin to redeem a complex automaton pretends to be uncreated ideas travel through the brain the supposed forge is nothing but a gate holistic gaze detached observes an actor that's too serious about himself searching this place running astray trying to fulfill the amass utopy everything is encoded in a language of no words to hear leaving no trace on time and space a lyric sings this boundless tale too many words for one page and in the end letters begin to fall creating a small cemetery of little stars that shine bright but underground where no eye can reach them everything is encoded in a language of no words to hear leaving no trace on time and space a lyric sings this boundless tale

Last Scene 05:25
drumming on leaves cloud’s tears kiss sacred green little hands rugged arms elderly tree span my shade with yours like once used to be through a crack in the veil the moon's benevolent face shows her light peaceful smile metaphor speaks my life time is for me to leave I won' t fall into sleep I left here something that I came now to retrieve all around a crazy ballet of flawless silhouettes sharing the uncovered stage atop this windy hill shadows and grass dance and whirl I attend alone to this show that prompts my mind back to then my legs are asking for rest they deserve faithful they carried my weight till the end my trembling hand drawn by consumed blue veins to them I owe the strength to climb back my descent vest of flesh I called me time to rest underneath but inside the child lives once again laughs and speaks time is for me to leave I won't fall into numb sleep I left here something that I want to retrieve safe from ravenous years one frame of distant beauty pure fragrance this dream's last scene tell me of timeless days spent to enjoy a divine gift
