Part 1 of a trilogy of tracks born during a time of stagnation/change.

APATHY

In collaboration with PEARL WHITE

lyrics

The echoes of my mind a pendulum drowning through the time
As the Black Vortex creeps up and strangles my cortex
I’m hopeless against the silent sea
The Ravenous World eating away at my sanity
As the damages of broken dreams pierce the seams of lucidity
And ravages the memories that were left to me
The happy scenes of friends and family
Are now replaced by the haze called Apathy

Stasis in aeternum is the fate that awaits those
Who face up against the terrifying power of Chronos
The Old Ghost stole a host of warm notes
To post a corpse of cold tones a stone soul
So no more will I mourn
The worn bones that disappear
Like stories told of yester-year
All the gold tomes which hold the wisdom
Make it clear that all the tears born from tears
Wear and erode the tableau
Leaving thoughts in the cold
Ending all that we know
Ending all that we

Entropy
End of me
Entropy

End of me
Entropy
End of me
