Inside A hall I stand A man Is here He stares No face Just wounds Consume Blank flesh Until A flash I'm blind A moment Eyes focus The horror A portal opens up, bringing a drag so strong that I buckle Knees give way to an overbearing chuckle I dig my heels and nails in the walls but my fingers can't hold and my feet do a shuffle I can't control anything outside me I can't control anything inside me I can't control anything that's on me I can't control anything about him Peering into the void, I can see an endless swirl of colour and emotion. I suddenly feel at peace with my fate. I allow myself to be propelled into the mysterious man's face, for I cannot recall how I even got to This Other Place. ... Into portal zones With beautys unknown Beheld by your cones Until nerves explode Hold on to your phone Keep links back to home For, you are exposed To beautys unknown Exposed Unknown You will now be exposed to beautys unknown ... Now I'm here it's So fantastic I can't stand the Satisfaction Golden rivers Made of cheese and Birds that sing a Song so pretty Light pouring out of my eyes Light pouring out of my ears Endless feeling Of excitement Butterflies they Lift my stomach Lift me higher To the clouds that Taste like candy Birds they sing like ooooooooo I feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel So surrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelll Can't even describe What is on my mind Looking in, looking out, seeing all that it's for, it's fine Feel like Major Briggs Looking Bobby in the eyes When I try to expose these dream feelings that I find So now I climb To the highest high Gotta get work done Gotta fuckn be the best in my life Look at my family Happiness Divine Each of them succeeding at what they love, so i cry Tears of Beauty Tears Pour From My pores!!! My poor pores... I love it here... I really do love it here... I feeeeeeeeeeeeeel Surrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaalll I see The portal Opening Again Afraid I look And to My dread I'm back It seems But now He's closer With teeth Encompassing His whole Exposure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ... I RUN I WHEEZE I PANT I FREAK I LOOK BEHIND HE'S COMING FOR ME YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE INDULGED IN THE SWEETNESS OF MY FRUITS. A SICKLY COST AWAITS YOU IN THESE HALLWAYS OF THE TRUTH HIS VOICE CASCADING DOWN HALLS OF HARSH REALITY I FEEL HIM MY ANKLES HE PULLS CONSUMED

DIGESTION 18:14
Digestion Digestion Consumed I Fall through the Entrails of He who walks Hallways of Uncovered Secrets and Darknesses Tumbling Grumbling Churning Burning Acid Phlegm Bile Membranes Digestion Digestion CHORUS Slipping on a tidal wave of madness Eaten by the soul that brings the heat Warmth inside was used as bait for sadness Tantalise me so I do not flee Flipping through a tunnel, tight and constricting Darkness is all I see Whipping through a portal in time and space, and Lightning is all I see Wooh! ... Walls of flesh Turn into Star clustered Endless voids Take me to Parts of my Mind where I Store dark thoughts Oh where I store my thoughts! And I feel all the darkness spark like static on my body And i create all the darkness with the current in my veins And I wonder with this feeling, if I'm still inside his body And I'm reminded when I get constricted and cry pain PAIN PAIN PAIN CHORUS Where am I? Where could I be? Was whipped outta space So suddenly I see him again He's smiling!? He opens his mouth I'm dying!! And I'm back with a heart attack, to the place where I'm digested And I feel more safe in this puny space, I must digress Could it be my mind is opening up into a portal? Bring my thoughts to life and it's like I'm a man, no longer mortal. (MUAHAHAHA) I see my friend in a place so familiar And when he turns he's grinning at me Tears streaming down his chin, he pulls out a dagger And I know at this point, I must flee Step. By. Step. He. Comes. To. Me. I. Run. But. Can't. Move. Fast. It. Seems. I. Cry. For. Him. To. Stop. Him. Self. NOW. Oh, but he doesn't stop And he shrieks as he fights himself from inside Oh, he starts to cry as he lifts his knife Teeth glistening with blood in the sunset SUNSET And the knife comes down The red spatter on the membrane of my cornea My vision is fading My last breath is drawn But then it's not my last Breath, I mean, but.. it seems... It seems I'm not out of this place yet But this quiet scene is what i need ... In a field full of precious dandies With a tree overhead in the shade It's just a trip of the faceless man, see? But I still try to take in the grace In a time where I feel like a light bulb Giving off light true to me Incandescent ramblings take shape But it's gone like a whisper of a dream Like a whisper of a dream Like a whisper of a dream IT'S GONE Digestion And the moonlight suddenly hits me I'm standing on a dock at the pier And it's shining subtly greets me And asks if I can share for his ears.... Yeah, I think I can share a little something for your ears... Check it out moon man... THANK YOU FOR YOUR PERFORMANCE BUT NOW YOU MUST GO BACK TO digestion Digestion Digestion Digestion CHORUS Lightning is all I see LIGHTNING IS ALL I SEE back to digestion... nearly through digestion... SHIT ME OUT I'm back at my house, in the basement A curious fog rolls through the ventilation as I reach over and break the seal on a fresh mango soda. Have I been just sitting here the whole time? Just contemplating the darkness? Is the faceless man real? I ask these things to myself, not understanding just how REAL this gets. ... I sit alone reaching over the piano keys... and fumbling take me to another place...

I am the man in the moon I am the man in the moon Your sound, it came bleeding through So now I must locate you Seek Your Sound Earth Frenzy Humans Insects One in the same Faces Looking For features Held to your... Names won't give me answers So I will trek to every continent The waves start to give answers North America, speak through my lunar pull North To Canada Because... I am the man in the moon I am the man in the moon Your sound it came bleeding through So now I must locate you Seek Your Sound The hills fill me with answers So now i go straight to Ontario The roads lead me to answers And now I know echoes come from Caledon Clay Dunes Stone Walls Guide meeeeeeeeeee I run up the porch like a dancer I rap on the door with no answer Unlocked, to the basement with a glance first I see the man with the grand plan, fumbling on the keys of the piano In a trance, he has no shadow Snap out of it. He stands and with two words he then commands.... LETS JAM

Seeking out a place to go, through a musical vehicle Two of us, guitar and drum, but something is swelling within us The man in the moon plays a looped tune, a code to something surreal And out of the blue, something protrudes, a feeling just like the... Warmth Generates Through Magnets in your hands It's here! We've tapped right in, crossing dimensions to a place oh so familiar Twas here I saw the faceless being, but wait!! I know this place know this place know this place Warmth Generates Through Magnets in your hands Warmth Generates Through Thoughtscapes in your head Breathe in slowly, dreams can only hurt you so much. But now what if dreams come to life? Will we all die? Could we all fly? Never ask why? Knowledge flooding in flooding in Wouldn't guess that the warmth is a sin Created within my mind Back in disturbation times Made me up a faceless man He made up a racist plan Humans was the race he sought But what was the bait in hand? People like to feel all good Love is what is understood Take that artificially And THAT's where the warmth has stood Luring all the lonelys in Suck em up with that tooth-full grin But that's when I came in Caused a leak spurting with Warmth Generates Through Thoughtscapes in my head Now the warmth floods our heads Loving each other is wondrous yet ominous I am a believer that love is a healer And peeler of emotions Like skin from an orange I vitamin SEE that this jam is a door-hinge And my mind is the door to another explorative setting I'll score With sweet melodies, beats with explosions, and more! And when faceless arrives I'll be painting the floor with his Warmth Generates Through Thoughtscapes in my head Warmth Generates Through Bait tricks in his head Breathe in slowly, dreams can only hurt you so much. But now what if dreams came to life? Will we all die? Could we all fly? Never ask why? No one knows now and never will. Trouble's caused when dreams start to spill. Harnessing the power! Warmth keeps on spreading like pollen from flowers! Building inside us, then used as a defence! Stopping his tracks, when he comes hit the reset! Give him a taste of his own medicine now! Then hit relax when I stop, put the pen down! Watch him perish under feelings I cherish! Then carry on with the life that I live now! I've been drowned with Warmth Generates Through Magnets in your hands Prepare for warmth encapsulation Prepare for pest extermination Warmth Generates In Preparation Warmth Generates For Everyone Breathe in slowly, dreams can only hurt you so much. But now what if dreams came to life? Will we all die? Could we all fly? Never ask why? No one knows now and never will. Trouble's caused when dreams start to spill. Use it now to keep your life held intact. Please don't let him stay back. Breathe in slowly, time to go and build your warmth up NOW. Keep controlling flows to forge the ender of stress NOW. Next thing I know, our jam began to grow The warmth I felt inside was just a stupid fucking hoax I really hope this motherfucker shows I'll pinch off all his life and finally get rid of my woes Perspire From fire

OOOOOO Now we must stand our ground Two of us will make a sound Forcing his hand down Clear my throat and sing aloud Next thing we know, the battle horns explode The rush of chancing fate will be an everlasting glow I wanna know moon man, before we up and go If I die here, will I be dead? Or really just at home? You cannot know! He says. You cannot cannot know! He says. Am I supposed to take that as a yes or as a no? I think, but I guess I know deep down inside it's just a show The red velvet is pulled away, a figure is exposed... It's him ... He stands still We stand still Our eyes search No face to Lock on to My mind shocked My brain flocks To space to Become new Be sharpened In smartness Returned to My heart them The spark hits I'm ready now We ready now He's ready now CHARGE TO FATE MADE NO MISTAKE HE DOESN'T MOVE COCKY TOO SOON IN ANOTHER PLACE BATTLES TAKE PLACE SOON WE SEE WHO TAKES CAKE RUN FIGHT TEST MIGHT CRUSH PESTS THAT CAUSE STRIFE step by step by step by step by step.... Closing in, blank face forming to a grin Close your eyes Reaching forth to deliver pain with force Big surprise He teleports, forming at our backs, with swords Then he strikes Warmth inside, yield another big surprise Protects us from demise Angered, he flails, trying to get in hits Most just miss Testing the limits of our warmth within Builds his fits Using his warmth, he fires photon rays We get sprayed Opens his face and lures us in Is this it? Our demise? No! This time the two warmths clash A loud crack The warmth is shattered like a pane of glass Done with, smashed We all drop to the ground, look around, not a sound In this place The generator whirs, the moon man turns with a Smiling face We did it! His powers gone! We have it! The source is ours! Oh, what a glorious feeling it is When you know that you're going to win Alright moon man. Tune 'er up quick cause we gotta jam! We gotta get this warmth flowing so we can take his shit down. No more headache! No more stupid dreams! No more fake ass love! Just you, me, and the music. LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ... alright let's do a little harmonisation moon man... BEAMS FIRE FACELESS DISINTEGRATE EXPLODING LIKE FIREWORKS HE IS GONE ... We did it We did it We did it we did it Yo, we did it We over came the challenge of the faceless man Erased his plan Generate the warmth against his hand Nearly fainted man When I was tainted by the image of the warmth, it really changed me, damn Got digested, infested with bad thoughts My mind was like mad talk Telling me that my friends were killing me What a sad plot To think I'd be fooled by these rude, unschooled, juvenile tools When I be writing such jewels That's when I met up with the moon man I showed him my moves and gave him the energy to generate such a fluent plan Jamming was the answer to disaster so we mastered it, built it slow Too much patience to go faster And BAM, the plan came together like FAM Met up with our enemy and gave him the SLAM Put up a good fight though Gave us a good fright till the warmth was destroyed and we had the one device! Next thing I know the moon man turns to me and shows me how the place that's all around us is beginning to expose A starry space that takes me up into the air, causing the hairs upon my neck to raise from static in my clothes He says my time is done, my mind is peaceful in the sun, we've won so now I've got to let you go, so run so run! I turn to say goodbye, I shed a tear and start to fly, a feeling glowing in me that shows that my dream is done. Fading Shining Light climbs Through my veins and everywhere Real air Pokes in Birds sing Fabric on my face and everywhere Goodbye ... 5 am, I get up, feeling weird One question lives in my head Has it really been a year?
