Silurian: Age Of Sea Scorpions

(album: Phanerozoic I: Palaeozoic - 2018)

Dust
I see red
I know this state you're in
Time has come, once again
This is not our habitat
This is not our place to be

You and me, we took great pains to not get down too deep
Down into the raging stream of our subconsciousness
Shadows are passing by
Sometimes they're close to catching up
Sea scorpions prowl these waters
They are the apex predators
This time we won't surrender facing the unknown

Close your eyes, hold your breath
Tell me now, are you really sure you wanna walk this path once more
We know what's lurking at the end of the road
Blank out all painful reminders of past indignation

Another rough double reality day
I understand now how it feels to be trapped inside the lair of light
Reflections bouncing off the walls...
To be losing any sense of time while every clear thought dissolves

Learn to embrace the the gift of ambiguity
It sets you free
We have said a few things now that we have never said before
And I don't know yet what that means
Maybe we will wake up tomorrow with gratitude and uncertainty that all the glaciers will retreat
Yield to warm and shallow seas
Or maybe not...

I am super fucked and all I really want is to sleep now
Exposed to my interpretations
Please cut me out of this equation
Release me
My conscience is as clean as the bluest sky after a storm
You were so proud of our achievements

We have said a few things now that we have never said before
And I don't know yet what that means
Maybe we will wake up tomorrow...
