Hello 05:51
Is this real? This haze of dreaming, it stays, though I wake. Here I walk, on thresholds of sleep, I feel all in here. Such things, my eye did see. Here in this place of pure belief. Here, the waters of sight run crystal clear. Where all the doubts dissolve and where Knowing is half the goal, I am become much more. Hello How I ache. How I ache to linger in this place. Cleansed of fear. Tear it down. This curtain keeping me there, where I’m plagued. But here, such things I see. Here in this place, of pure belief. Here, the waters of sight run crystal clear. Where all the doubts dissolve and where Knowing is half the goal, I am become much more. Hello Here, the waters of sight run crystal clear. Where all the doubts dissolve and where Knowing is half the goal, I am become much more. Hello

Only Me 07:40
Dust in the air. From bone it appeared. Wary it fell, back to where I was made. For all I tried to please in the end it’s only me. From my throne I now scream and my lonely bones will weep. Banish all childish dreams. This was meant to be. All I seek is in me. No king here there is no need. It’s meant to be. I am the Queen by destiny. Show me the end. Divine the intent. So will I rule. So I go, on my own. For all I tried to please in the end it’s only me. From my throne I now scream and my lonely bones will weep. Banish all childish dreams. This was meant to be. All I seek is in me. No king here there is no need. It’s meant to be. Oh I am the Queen by destiny. I am the Queen by destiny. And as the balance sways there is a price to reign. Was it my choice or theirs? What choice lies in fate. Empty tales they weaved into an ending I believed. Breathing in, what is to be. Reigning alone is all I can see. Banish all childish dreams. This was meant to be. All I seek is in me. No king here there is no need. It’s meant to be. There is no king here. There is no need. I am the Queen by destiny. I am the Queen by, I am the Queen by, I am the Queen by, I am the Queen by destiny. I am the Queen by destiny.

And when at the end, it begins again in the place beyond the veil. There you will see all that was seen, was only but a dream. And then you’ll know what it’s for. All this torment in the life you know. It is carrying you further, here we go. Visions that came have renewed my strength to carry on again. Pain knows no place. It’s beyond this space. In here there’s nothing grey. It’s here you’ll know what it’s for. All this torment in the life you know. It is carrying you further, here we go. I am a wanderer, I am a slave. There’s no escaping it, it masters all the same. This is the law that is binding then. There is a peace in belief. Surrender is key, to being free. All around drones the sound of beginning. And it holds, holds me to ground. In the sound renewal is waiting. And it breathes all back to life. Returning there through gates we all must pass. Return prepare. The next road on our path. I am a wanderer, I am a slave. There’s no escaping it, it masters all the same. This is the law that is binding then. There is a peace in belief. I am a wanderer, I am slave. There’s no escaping it, it masters all the same. This is the law that is binding then. There is a peace in belief. Surrender is key, to being free.

The Flood 05:17
There, silent tears. Filled with my fear. And when the flood comes I’m swept by its force. Don’t try to save me. This is the course. Oh, oh how I tried. Humbled am I. Down in the deep. Lulled, just let me sleep. See when the flood comes I’m swept by its force. Don’t try to save me. This is my course. Pulling me downwards I’m under The grasp of this chaotic wonder. Torn by the shattering thunder. I am my only defender. The blackness envelopes me. I search for the key. Hold on there’s more to know. Hold on by letting go. Pulling me downwards I’m under The grasp of this chaotic wonder. Torn by the shattering thunder. I am my only defender. My only defender. My only defender. My only defender. There, silent tears. Filled with my fear. Oh, how I tried. Humbled am I.

Swirling around is a storm that is seething. And here in my mind’s eye, we’ve been here before now. When power is claimed by the few unrelenting. The many will stand, bringing the storm. Patterns reveal moments to seize. Push back their claim and make way, for we are the rain. We are the rain, washing away. We are the gates that hold the torrents. We are the weight, the balance that stays. We are the equalizing current. We are the faith. It’s kept by grace. We are the rain. We are the rain. A singular drop will vanish unnoticed. Felt for a moment. Gone and forgotten. But millions will flood with a force that will reckon. Crashing in waves with thunderous roars. Patterns reveal moments to seize. Push back their claim and make way, for we are the rain. We are the rain, washing away. We are the gates that hold the torrents. We are the weight, the balance that stays. We are the equalizing current. We are the faith. It’s kept by grace. We are the rain. Rise, enter into dawn. Come you makers of the storm. Stand in the eye to see. Here there is clarity. Falling in waves. Wash away the ones who’ve failed. Patterns reveal moments to seize. Push back their claim and make way, for we are the rain. We are the rain, washing away. We are the gates that hold the torrents. We are the weight, the balance that stays. We are the equalizing current. We are the rain, washing away. We are the gates that hold the torrents. We are the weight, the balance that stays. We are the equalizing current. We are the faith. It’s kept by grace. We are the rain. We are the rain.

Nightshade Silence surrounds me. In defeat it is deafening. Nightshade blooms in the quiet. The seed was always there. Save me eternal torment. Save me from my fear. Consuming my truth, I suffer you. Breathe in the light my shadow mind. Spreading like poison. Expelling my reason. Each year that goes by screams failure out loud but no, I’ll no yield. Deep within lies the truth dear. Embrace it find the way. Can you save me eternal torment? Save me from my fear? Consuming my truth, I suffer you. Breathe in the light my shadow mind. What is the sacrifice to keep one’s soul alive? Consuming my truth, I suffer you. Breathe in the light. Consuming my truth, I suffer you.
