A Cognitive Collapse
07:20

As consciousness returns I'm jolted from this eternal slumber
Unsure of the present where and when, my body shakes and black is all I see
A flood of memories, the torrent of emotions are too much to contain within
My mind begins to tremble, where the hell am I?
Fear for what's to come
As visions fade away
The darkness that was once inside
Surrounds me like an endless void
Fearing the spider that creeps its prey, I'm trapped within its eternal web
Stalked and teased, poked and prodded, I'm lost at sea
Can not get out
I'm out of the pan and into the fire
I trade one nightmare for another
An aphotic life of ambiguous distortions
Causes senses to falter as if stuck in a typhlotic trance
Visions that were once so clear begin to slip away
Through the cracks of a fragmenting mind
I franticly claw at the memories that I have left
Remembering faces, remembering places
Of fearful eyes that were raw with despair
And argent skin with malignant scarlet reflections
The way down: No way out
Mind bound: Restrained and confined
Alone: There is nowhere
To Go: Lost at sea
Twisted thoughts: Invasive
A sure memory of two //knife in hand// Twisted thoughts with dark intentions
A sure memory of two? //fearful stare// Invasive, a lingering shadow of deception
I try to climb from the depths, to break free of the void and find the shore
I fight with all my being, to survive the monsters that would have me drown
-Enervate//Cupidity//An insouciant cacophonous lullaby-
Fear for what's to come
As visions fade away
The darkness that was once inside
Surrounds me like an endless void
The endless void closes in, I sink beneath the surface
As blackened waters fill my lungs, I see.

Mnemonic Entrancement
07:23
|

As I lay, bound and confused
Alone I stare into the void of my past
An emptiness to call my own
I'm lost at sea
The door cracks open
A figure looms at the threshold
With a face familiar yet different
Like a nightmare she creeps to me
She speaks to me, my eyes are locked
Do you know who you are?
Do you know what you've become?
These questions that I don't have the answers to tear at my soul
Who am I? What have I become?
She meets my stare, her eyes are raw
Do you not remember me?
You're back to the open world
Back with me, broken free
Woken up...
It can't be
The one who was there in the nightmares
A familiar face
I stood overhead and watched her die
With my knife in hand, I watched as the fear left her mortal eyes
Was it all a dream? My vision I saw now stands right in front of me
How can this be?
Reality or illusion?
Internal conflict
The mind rebels against the eyes perception
An urge deep inside of me to break free of my confinement
To understand the rippling world
To find out who I am and what I've become
Upon yourself Upon myself
The pain you feel The pain I feel
Pale and void Broken and confused
Your minds desire My downward spiral
A fear for what's to come
I must break free of my confinement
I stare into her eyes, escape is my only option
I break free from the binds that bound me
I jump through the barrier of shattered light
To find the answers that I seek
To discover what I have become

--Enervate//Alexithymia//Peregrinate the sensory overload--
--Enervate//Alexithymia//Enigmatic cognitive distortions--
Swimming: Through blackened waters
Under: Drowning in noxious vexation
Rushing: Dizzying from recast epicedium
Currents: Spiraling optics conceal sight
Dance through the strings, elude vibration
Chased by thoughts, hide from the eyes
Fleeing from the eyes that lock
-Watching:Sleepless:Malice:Sinister-
--Enervate//Alexithymia//Peregrinate the sensory overload--
--Enervate//Alexithymia//Enigmatic cognitive distortions--
Swimming: Through blackened waters
Under: Drowning in noxious vexation
Rushing: Dizzying from recast epicedium
Currents: Spiraling optics conceal sight
All around me, it's all wrong
Familiar yet unknown
Designs, foreign and unsettling
Shifting and adjusting
Is this just a dream?
A break in the web, a lane to haven
I enter the veil, until the eyes move past
Sound of wings drawing near
Perched it rests and meets my stare
"Run away" my mind screams, eyes are locked
It speaks to me:
--Do you know who you are?//Do you know what you've become?--
Fleeing: Through blackened waters
Escape: Drowning in noxious vexation
Running: Dizzying from recast epicedium
Vanish: Spiraling optics conceal sight
I see the way to scarlet shores
To find the way, to find my past

Equanimous Attraction
14:04
|

As I move towards distant alpenglow
I feel a calm push me along, guiding me through the falling sky
To where my mind desires
No longer lost at sea
To find the shore, to find myself
Rise above the currents
Must stay afloat
Must find my way
As the fear leaves my eyes I can feel the sand beneath me grounding my thoughts
Questions without answers are bound within my mind
Who am I?
What have I become?
A sure memory of two?
Reality or illusion?
As tranquility soothes me I feel a presence familiar yet sinister
A nightfall with ravenous intent, it surround me
-Watching:Sleepless:Malice:Cynosure-
As sand turns to ebonized glass
Strings like shadows emanate dividing me from my guiding light
I must not be contained!
--Enervate//Devitalize//Enmesh//Dominate the mystified cognizance--
--Enervate//Devitalize//Beguile//Machinate sempiternal apperception--
I must stay afloat!
Swimming: Mortal stands
Under: Eyes are locked
Rushing: Knife in hand
Was it all just a dream?
Moving: A will to feed
Nearing: A twisted desire
Drawing: A ravenous mind
Dreams or thoughts?
The glass burns my feet as I run
Guided by nothing but the scarlet light through the falling sky
Leading me to the answers that I seek
Thoughts in mind: A cognitive dissonance
Watching: Mortal stands
Sleepless: Eyes are locked
Malice: Knife in hand
Was it all just a dream?
Watching: A will to feed
Sleeping: A twisted desire
Malice : A ravenous mind
Dreams or thoughts?
Atop a hill I notice a colour, so ominous yet welcoming
Difficult to see, but still I make my way
The light that guided me has all but faded, leaving behind a verdant outline that is
Boundless in height it holds up the nocturnal sky, fracturing under the endless tension
I put out my hand
Drift through ones dreams
(Enter the light) (I must contain)
I feel calm
A sense of haven (Must not hate Must not break)
Free from eyes (Must not fear Must not crack)
A sense of joy (Must not drown Must not fall)
Free from the web (Must not fail Must stay afloat)
A sense of freedom
The blackness all around reflecting my path, my fate
The rippling with all the hate and desire, a sight to behold
I stand atop the world the web closing in
I must find my salvation before it's too late
Before it comes crashing down
A figure appears from troubled sight
Familiar yet unsettling
A light whirls around, encasing me
---------[Luminous Enigma Starts]---------
My eyes are locked

Luminous Enigma

My eyes are locked
-------[Transition from Equanimous Attraction]---------
As I stand entranced in an endless stare
Everything that I sought is right before me
In a state of ataraxia and curiosity
I see within her hands a glow of wonder and endless boundaries
A wall to protect from the growing darkness
She smiles with a glimmer of hope
The scarlet light reflecting in her eyes
Eyes that are no longer raw, and rags no longer torn
Is this the point of no return?
Do I reach for my desire?
Do I trust the unknown to find the answers I seek.
With every fiber of my being drawing me in to know and reach out for the answers
She takes my hand as her eyes meet my stare
Do you want to know who you are?
Do you want to know what you've become?
Is this the point of no return?
Do I reach for my desires?
Do I trust the unknown?
My mind begins to swirl
My head splits, feeling like my thoughts trapped within a deluge, an internal war
Sound of wings enter my sight, perching on a bleary outcrop
Its stare, lidless and unsettling as its body quivers with unnatural movements
The light spirals into a single place
Forming a shape strange yet comforting
I must not concede
--Enervate//Enshroud//Obfuscate Percipient Celestial Cognition--
--Enervate//Environ//Annihilate Intractable Mindset--
Is this the point of no return?
Do I reach for my desires?
Do I trust the unknown?
What will I become of me?
As she takes my hands, I can feel the calm again
"Come back with me to where you belong"
Her hands touch my face, she smiles
"Unleash"

Limitless Complex
21:00
|
|||
Mind bound, restrained and confined within myself!
Caught in the web!
An unbearable pain shoots through my skull, the fangs of the spider have found their mark
The webs that encircled, have now tightly wound into an agonizing restraint
Limbs numb from constant contraction, mind breaking from endless tension
As dismay begins to take hold, a light tethers me to my own thoughts
Internal peace
A moment of clarity
I will not break
I will not fear
Must break the grip
Can't control
Can't contain
A flood of memories washes over me as if learning all at once
A torrent of emotions of twisted thoughts: invasive and unstoppable
Pressure from two is crushing down on me: memories and reality
I scream, I try to run
I'm frozen, caught by retribution
Swimming: Through blackened waters
Encased: Within an constricting vexation
Illusions: Safeguard from intrusive lullabies
Iced fangs: Mind splits From prying hands
Eternal web: Labyrinth of infinite designs
Cognition: A complex for fatal genesis revival
A glorious kingdom upon abolished pedigree
Swimming: Through blackened waters
Encased: Within an constricting vexation
Illusions: Safeguard from intrusive lullabies
Iced fangs: Mind splits From prying hands
Eternal web: Labyrinth of infinite designs
Endless stare: Eyes of malice intent
I must control
I must contain
I must break free
As the memories return I'm given sight once again
Clarity of mind with a sense of purpose
I must not fail
Her eyes burning with hate
With my mind centered I break the web
I lash forward, my only chance
Across the neck, into the chest
I retreat to the top of the hill
To where it all will end
The mind rebels
Must keep control
(Must find the light, my only chance)
The only option
A sense of my salvation, knowing what I must do
I see the path of the embracing scarlet light
Flash from the hands blind their senses
Focus mind, form the shape to guide my way
Creation born of light, a sphere of my own being
To preserve the life and start a new
To serve as shield and monolith, the martyr
(Eternal slumber)
(Dreams they showed a twisted soul)
(Dark intent, fill a void)
(Re-genesis, genocide)
I will live on within the earth
I will survive and hold the sky
--Eyes focus--
(Within myself, a desired knowledge)
(Within yourself, a remedy of mind)
(Must survive to hold the sky)
Unveil!
Celestial body
Angelic reveal
The dark blanket has lifted
Exposing the heinous intent
Illusion of the stare is broken
A sure memory of two was incorrect
From looming shadow
Eyes fixate
The eyes of a third nauseate the mind and flood the senses
A spiraling lullaby emitted from crescent teeth
A plan of three, a deathly deception.
To usurp my being and become creators
Twisting thoughts to cloud the sight
Mixing the signals of desire
She screams my name: Avanthian
The pain in her voice, cracking with anticipation
It fills me with sadness, a just reprisal
A desire to become a god, a one-way path to an endless anguish, an eternal Sorrow
To recreate the existence of those long gone, to fill the void I left
Enclosed (Surround him!)
Ravenous demons (Feeble mortal!)
My demise
The end of my (his) existence!
The pain in her eyes, reliving a nightmare
It fills me with such misery, a just cause
I drop to my knees, and look into her eyes
A compliant stare
An inevitable outcome of an aggressive obsession
To hide away, to survive extinction
The thoughts deeps inside, a foresight of life
The emotions of many, and the twisted desires
She stands right in front of me
Do you see what you've become? (I'm a god from the stars above!)
Come back with me (I am where I belong)
Eyes tear, a smile of madness (You will answer for your transgressions!)
I do not fear (Become one with the void around you)
I love you
