date of discovery: january, 2019
binaural frequency: E
species: soliloquy

lyrics

it's cold and bright
but the sun offers no protection
temperament is temperate at best
you're full spirited existence

cracking knuckles dry and white
yet the winter's got you dreaming
mother nature lies awake
she was born in her deathbed

I wanna see the grave lifting up its owner
I wanna see the grave lifting up its owner

chemicals in my brain
I'm a vessel of temporal pain
gentleness beside truth as virtue is it
genetic or just my human condition

I wanna see the grave lifting up its owner
I wanna see the grave lifting up its owner

isn't each soul a congregation?
are we as simple as we seem?
ah, distinguished with our outside voices,
are we really who we mean to be?

I wanna see the grave lifting up its owner
I wanna see the grave lifting up its owner
only alive when I'm giving up the ghost
I wanna see the grave lifting up its owner
only alive when I'm giving up the ghost
I wanna see the grave lifting up its owner
