oki:
there’s stern onyx temples and robes black and red
entrail divination and necrotic tech
and lower dimensional sibyls and yet
this sandbox you think where i’d play
my heart is just not in the game

they think i’m a demon, it’s crazy i know
and i try to act grand and nefarious though
i mostly come here and sit still in the gloom
and think about dottie and sigh
remember and miss her and cry

adrift in seas with a violet dawn
where meaning dies in mazes long
and waves ascend with bones and t++th
you twist and turn beg for relief

adrift in sеas with dying stars
where wishes bеg at cheap bazaars
and reason pants and gasps and drowns
and no one finds the doorway out

and i grasped it all
when her future hit the wall
and i grasped it all
when her future hit the wall

there’s dim, midnight masses with chanting and flame
their politics full of betrayal and shame
a playground you’d think i would revel to play
yet i’m devoid of a spark
that faded when i broke my heart

our sister, she showed up and begged me to help
i promised, for years we went journeying til
she tried in her folly to climb back and fell
and now what to do i don’t know
i sit in this temple alone

adrift in seas with a violet dawn
where meaning dies in mazes long
and waves ascend with bones and t++th
you twist and turn beg for relief

adrift in seas with dying stars
where wishes beg at cheap bazaars
and reason pants and gasps and drowns
and no one finds the doorway out

and i grasped it all
when her future hit the wall
and i grasped it all
when her future hit the wall

lead me where lost stars one day go
(you can’t get out of here you know)
lead me to long forgotten homes
(you can’t get out of here you know)
lead me through secret doors in sp+ce
(you can’t get out of this place)
asylums that lie beyond this place
(in time you’ll fade away)

adrift in seas with a violet dawn
where meaning dies in mazes long
and waves ascend with bones and t++th
you twist and turn beg for relief

adrift in seas with dying stars
where wishes beg at cheap bazaars
and reason pants and gasps and drowns
and no one finds the doorway out

and i grasped it all
when her future hit the wall
and i grasped it all
when her future hit the wall

so, i sit here the guest of an alien race
whose science is necrosis, whose art is decay
and wish that we never had left long ago
and wonder if joy’s still alone

there’s lights in the cosmos where dramas unfold
and sometimes i feel like i’ve stories untold
but we’re trapped in ourselves like a maze in a cage
our story is always the same
lost within these lands we never made
