Seance I: The Departed (feat. State Alchemist)

Tears that seep into the walls and drip down from the ceiling
As I'm staring through reality at where you were
What do you say when you meet the barren eyes of fallen heroes
I find it easier to avert your gaze and sit in silence
Someday, when you leave me
Waiting to receive me
Are fears that I could never shake
I stare beyond you empty-eyed
A mouth that never moved except to pray
A mouth that never moved except to pray
And tell me what is left for us to say
That the honor rests with time
To tell us when we'll die

Lend me your will, your strength, and your promise
Leave me to fill the holes in your portrait

The sun had nearly crossed its threshold when I woke to whispers of The end from miles away
There was a stillness in your wake, and in the silent confines of Darkened hallways, our heads bowed, yet I felt nothing
But the feeling returned to me as an undercurrent
Pulling me in with the strength of the sea.
And my legs willed me away to a place far away, underneath the Mulberry sky
In the place you last returned to the Earth

In this place where all life turns to stone
Where flowers are offered to console the living
The ivy binds the rock in sacred oath

Climb high, vital vine
And anchor us by your fucking roots
Ever faithful, devoted, eternal
You shroud the departed
Tying life by the helical twine

Robbing me of all that I love
(What do you love)
Time stabbing me in the fucking back
(You're out of time)
Mending the pieces of my mind
Before it all starts to fall apart

Nothing will ever bring you back
In this realm I dwell alone
All feels cold in the unknown
Passed to the realm of no return

Daylight fills my grey skies with the purest rain
Through the pain, might I stay dry long enough to whisper
That I will never forget you

Don't think of all the things you've lost
Know you will never be forgot
Remember all the ways you're loved

May you flow, without sorrow, ever on,
When you leave me, never to return, from the silence
