ronigan Very creative, maybe too much tho. Many riffs shoved together. Some eh, some good, a few great. I'll start at the end part of GRIMMER HEAT HAZE and let it play until LEMURIAN HYPERSTITION ends. The rest has good bits, but tough to get through to find them. Some noise is good, some is excessive. Favorite track: MAROMI.

INTERLUDE 04:36
pass thru the treeline into the dream gaze up snow covered branches must not go back to room today for this is where knights roam, dragons’ fire, worlds unknown those four walls keep me afraid all through the night the yelling, the hurting but in the forest, i find my place i love my mother, i love my father, i love my nana, i love my papaw, i love my dogs i love my bedroom but i can’t let the bottle go i wish to go back to when i was six and i spent time gazing into the forest waving hello with soaring eyes waiting for your call

waitin for your call, when i gone too far wait on me suffering wait on me suffering if boring abide saying goodbye north in my sight north in my sight wavin goodbye with soring eyes is it a lie to say you didn’t love me now I’m afraid to reach out and touch anymore wally ain’t got pay phones, cell’s dead so I borrow for a moment get so struck behind the wheel peering down the lines and forgettin where I’m at sleepin up in and the trailer’s on Fire, do I die before my skin curls? I think about it all the night long, Think sober ones about nights long Empty bed I stare down at Afraid to lay down I wait at the edge of the forest for ghosts of slender givin bring me a plate and a bottle I say no longer but the spectre asks me to give in I reach out to touch him, fingers move past the chest waving through with concernt soothe afraid to not touch afraid that I don’t feel why don’t I feel? why don’t I feel? why don’t I feel? why don’t I feel? why don’t I feel? why don’t I feel?

me lost in my sea i’m waving through me lost in your sea concernt soothe thanks to you thanks thanks to you i’m grateful for People who breathe the truth i clap when the credits roll on reruns of seinfeld i laugh intensely when alone staring down open palm i’m so tired of depth nothing’s profound you’re so full of shit i’m free from it soaring, is the way soring, get away! blackout drunk on a plane city Charlotte is the way i don’t know i am free This is free unseen my soring and I find when I can as I am alive with no story or the ol’ story I go back home I went flying with all the sea people! I read a book about hope! and i tried to love better but I don’t know I don’t know

feature: the futureless! the paining of my chest! pain me, money! 放課後のアイス 悩みが甘味で溶けていく 公園のブランコ にぎやかな午後を待ってる いつも 忘れられない あの時の嬉しさって 今でも否めない 本当に純粋だったね 大人達から身を隠した 秘密の基地の中で 将来の夢を交換したり 未来を想像したり 二人しか分からない冗談を一緒に笑ったりしてた 一番幸せな少年時代メモリーズ  君がくれたんだ 今思い出しても微笑ましいワンシーンなんだ 君が側にいた頃は Good old days beliefs! on why it suffers to take communion, contending in stead of silent grasp brief respite in constant voicing I’m sick of the noise pulse oximeter monitoring for fun loose the voice beliefs in office chairs! armed with blank stare! beliefs! [[Dreams, memories, thoughts Nostalgia and disintegration go hand in… Nothing sounds as good as “I remember that” I remember that I remember I ]] the world is quiet here a bundle of sand, some seeds, not a human soul to snake its way into my heart the world is quiet here in the forest in the forest

smart wrote is filled with beliefs! beliefs, you know? declare what this car park used to be! talk loud on the car park! what voice echos back off the tarmac? what do you see in the pool of Castrol at your feet? deny ipseity— live through flat tones! beliefs! deny ipseity— live through flat tones live through flat tones. reservation to my visitation you have it I know it in my small, elation reservation visitation elation lay shut bark no bite hold still rip the bandaid off from your eye nullify the palm pilot that keeps me pacified

Of God!!!! staring into the tendril void (thousands eyes glaring back) in it, the one moloch, reining free through my eyes to yours binding nerves unnerved before sleeping past me in sweatful dream delving deep, to suffer fore moon of kadath crash down bore lovers entwined no fear for doom for the splitting of the world, for want of lost things man, I couldn’t tell you the good news from the bad I don’t know it, I just don’t a just war a just sleep a just bore a small peep so it goes soon, ladidadida

wilting freezeframe gray forest tangled expending dream to lift it up mist-crawling fiends tap on the shell my eyes wander over beyond the glass It is grey & dull cosmic & reaching It assures me it will keep the best parts for the POTENTIAL FUTURE It says and scoffs as if it’s not. linearly: I NEED MONEY!))))) these brief moments of cognizance seem to be cruel just to show me How Time Has Passed can’t feel my legs arms or fingers It says and scoffs that I am loved it puts on the screen my mother singing I watch intently. my mouth agape.

what day, day, what day, what day is the desert air brewing computer dynamos hum can’t find the sound and just as thirst intensifies, the well appears no organ in the body! fell through, no organ in sight! put my soul into the mesh and turn on auto evangelism through angleism upright founded messiah it’s in the me there that broke from water, watching Na’Vi win Stockholm, or losers bracket mang0, tired of your “while of unsound mind” there’s nothing wrong with seeing ahead coma wall zone of avoidance can’t see shit! coma wall zone of avoidance can’t see shit! grinning when I realize I’m Proud of who I am of who I became and I stand up with burning rage. I won’t let your evil mar my soul. what makes a hero? nothing! nothing at all! empty vessel! emptiless! empty vessel life take in these, the periods between stale void hallways the moments of glistenin repeat refrains written in golden ink the howl of laughter ringin thru vein of forehead showers out the four walls don’t call but your voice echo you see hear that darker tone? [[what a person that must be what a shadow from the wall the other side and thereafter]] ...it’s a melody! itchin my heads a melody wish for more! shed your richer! wicked roll! it has your voice! can we run fix this i like info directed in triads my minds offset to the ripple well o well wasn’t it bad they’re burnin n lovin n comin in something, it is inevitable, tired of findin unendin scenes of wrecked for better those who know consumed consumption digital control i wish for more!!! the sound!!!! can’t find the sound!!!

why don’t you look over? your eyes lit by blue fire from somewhere other than here my whole life glued to my hand and you too, you have a new memory my dad carrying me back to bed I fell asleep the blue light in the room replaced real memory what do I do when the place I escaped to becomes all that’s left of memory
