1)
I make another story
This one a little weirder than the last
Instead of looking inward
I try to tear it out
Parts of the story I have built
A little out of order
For in this new strange place I’m in
I am not over here
A light near the beginning of the tunnel
that withers out by the middle
Creates a vicious cycle, infinite loop
Extract the flowers from pure will
Why is a war so destructive without the other side’s care
All they need to do is move away
Invertebrateic yet trying to stand up
Impossible to keep solid at all
2)
There is so much more to us than this
There is much more to us than such earthly things
I am nothing without without hands from the sky
Gold statue turns everything I touch into shit
One ping of consciousness, one fault in the ground
Breaks the atoms of my mind, misled into caves
Of silly energy unused till the most improper of times
Of whom unsure of how to be saved
Angel flying up above all else
Guiding the rest away from my bed
I wonder if my memory will be worth more
Than my presence in this world
Oh the goddesses, they’re as beautiful as satan
One day I’ll be dead enough to stop praying to myself
Ridiculous poetry drips into an endless vat of me
I’m a parolee dangerously close to leaving this strange hotel
In terms of ambition, stylistic diversity, and sheer righteous power, “Magus” is going to be a tough magic act for any band to follow. Bandcamp Album of the Day Sep 7, 2018
