consumed by bouts of delusion and fright,
perpetually devoured by somnolence and spite.
the fractal visions of despair slowly become clear to me.
subtle changes in me accrete,
and I’ve lost the man I used to be.
I’ve crossed the seas, I’ve left cities behind me.
I’m trapped in a room filled with smoke and unrest.
the thought of the time I’ve lost is nebulous at best.
but if we get up now, we can catch the last train,
out of this city that entwines us,
like we’re immured in recursive perpetuity.
and suddenly we are unconfined.
and in vain, you will fight nervousness,
and instincts with choked words in labyrinths.
and in time, you’ll concede your defeat,
with decadence and a bottle of red wine.
relinquish your thoughts and desires.
inconsolable, manic.
rendered complacent and coherent.
our incipient scion.
two lost bodies,
bathed in moonlight,
crash and collide;
concatenate.
life is fleeting:
“hallelujah.”

an abundance of elegance.
oh, how wrong were we to gamble on permanence?
if salvation was our intent,
why not take a chance on deliverance?
imprecations struck my ears,
our house of ill-repute was filled with tears.
below me, your gardens sank into the harlequin sea,
as I stood idly by, indolently.
develop from elation,
into malady and exhaustion.
souls fated to coalesce,
eventually acquiesce.
we begrudgingly bifurcate ourselves.
transfixed ourselves upon opalescence and ambiguity.
unwind to find history hidden within my veins and arteries.
a miasma of despair and alcohol,
a soporific antidote steadies the heart.
we’re waking up with blood on the sheets.
our burning wreckage fades to black endlessly now.

Certainly a controversial direction for the band, but this album ultimately rests as my favorite from TTNG. The technical mastery of their previous albums is still present here along with some very thought provoking and philosophical lyrics. I may not always agree with the lyrical messaging, but this is an album which rewards careful listening.
