shadows (demo, ~2010) by Dylan Vollans published on 2022-10-13T17:03:18Z when I was 20 and tried to write songs. lyrics below -- I wonder why and hope to find A single sign of some design In my desire to break the outer spheres, To clasp the past the future fears. I see the hand of a god Hidden within the march of the stars Over the spheres for years, years, and years. I see a mindless machine Hidden within the march of the stars Over the spheres for years, years, and years. Is this really truth I'm seeing? Everything is corruptible. I swear I see aligning symbols. Could this be random, fortune, or worse? Machinery forced to plot A path beyond, always absconds. Lustful leering, peering past the light, Peopled planets, unbroken glass. We live and we die in shadows and folds, Both in body and mind constructing scaffolds Exacting extraction from the unknown, To break through the womb to see where we've grown. We live and we die in shadows and folds. With bloodloss undaunting, we peer past the whole. We enter twilight where once we were told The secrets unfurl and we're carried home.
