Mediated Reality
04:24

trading mystery for label
to analyze to dissolve
robing everything of presence
language became the surrogate
Mediated Reality
compartmentalized maps
became the operating system
and our adjustment to the madness
isn't a clear measure of our sanity
obscuring what we sought to reveal
building towers and barriers
to mimic the grandeur
of nature
Mediated Reality

machinated info-structure
para-social architecture
hopium and doom scrolling
scrying with your phone
flickering of shadows dancing
normalizing unattention
augmented realities
cascade into your head
Watch as the sun comes out at midnight
The primrose path of tragedy and hope
The morning star is brighter than day light
The primrose path of tragedy and hope

Lady of the Stars

|
fear is the cloud that hides the sun
on the path of arrival and eternal return
The moonlit sky is her portrait
The stars are her eyes
Infinite space
Lady of the stars
Watching over
joy of dissolution
setting sand on fire
the womb of all creation
the character of the universe
The moonlit sky is her portrait
The stars are her eyes
Infinite space
Lady of the stars
Watching over

Mechanical Materialism
05:02
|
|||
|
was it all just an accident
that gave birth to our time
just a collision of molecules
destined to combine
how can you be so
how can you be so sure
and how can you know that
how can you know there's nothing divine
Mechanical Materialism
Would you deny your spirit
Mechanical Materialism
Would you deny their spirit
so many billions of lives
born into a narrative
the legends that define
the spirit
how can you be so
how can you be so sure
and how can you know that
how can you know there's nothing divine
Mechanical Materialism
Would you deny your spirit
Mechanical Materialism
Would you deny their spirit

Temporal Empire

did not leaving space
smother the mystery
beautiful history
I don't want our love
left in the desert
slowly becoming a sand dune
and every cliche came true
a existence so hollow without you
you are not a simulacra
up on a pedestal
Are we just inside a temporal empire
Cause your heart it feels like home
my lover, my best friend
circle till the end
has your heart shed all those feelings
I'm sorry I made you feel rejected
and I sure hope you can forgive me
the happiest times I've had are with you by my side.
Are we just inside a temporal empire
Cause your heart it feels like home

Depersonalization
04:20
|
|||
|
cold black eyes of the mountain
lost in reverie
within this moment
a Neo-phobic sense of irony
counting the feathers on a phoenix
Who are you today
De-personalization
Stripped it all away
shades of grey
shades of crimson
an owl seeing so beyond the light
and were shackled to worldview warfare
just counting the feathers on a phoenix
Who are you today
De-personalization
Stripped it all away
and dawn to twilight
they stole to starlight

Panacea
07:05
|
|||
|
we are hollow passengers
filling up our inner voids
lose ourselves to embrace
this incomparable remedy
Propaganda is the cure for loneliness
Panacea
victim of an emptiness
stuffed with agit prop and straw
a bait an switch tactic
filling the need to belong
Propaganda is the cure for loneliness
Panacea

Asymmetrical Lorefare
04:42
|
|||
|
walking forwards
advancing backwards
a regression through automation
outsource thinking but never question
not smart enough to make decisions
On and On it goes
Asymmetrical Lorefare
Weaponizing narratives
For the coldest war
looking outwards into dream land
looking inwards into reflection
specular miasma
hidden observer
energy follows thought
into phantasmagoria
On and On it goes
Asymmetrical Lorefare
Weaponizing narratives
For the coldest war

The Milgram Reverie
Milgram Experiment: Participants were led to believe that they were assisting an unrelated experiment, in which they had to
administer electric shocks to a "learner". These fake electric shocks gradually increased to levels that would have been fatal had they been real.
The experiment found, unexpectedly, that a very high proportion of subjects would fully obey the instructions.
