// Do you know me?

Yeah, yeah

I can feel

Every fiber of my being

Is aligned

With the planets

Yeah, yeah

I just wanna be in the stars, the stars

I'm falling upwards

And I know I came from there

And you did too

(Did too, did too, did too)

I can feel it my bo-ones

Like that nebula is ho-o-ome

Is it strange up there?

Like I’m dyin’ down here

Just wanna be clear

Yeah, yeah

But there’s so many things I don’t-

Understand

Stardust

Is that the making of my form?

(Ah-ah-ah)

Silicon

Is that which from the gods were born?

(Oh)

Vibrations in space

Yeah, yeah

Overthinking everything

Who made planet Earth our queen?

Ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah

Forget

Everything

Everything you know

Yeah, yeah

We’ll ascend eventually

Slowly

(Ah-ah-ah-ah)

[ instrumental break ]

Forged in the core of a star

The astral hearth crafted every inch of my being

Out of stardust and elements

And sent my soul into my vessel on this isolated planet

I saw the stars from below

Watching the heavens turn without me

Separated from my blood and bone

Falling into oblivion in my dreams

Cascading

Energy

(Ah-ah-ah)

And I gazed at the planets from my window

Why this planet?

This world?

And I imagine

The dying stars swirling around my pale form

My fingertips burning

My hair becoming silicon

The carbon in my marrow evaporating

My eyes blind with starlight

Shedding this cage, right

Embracing

Ascension

Apocalypse

Forever

some songs that remind me of my childhood

come sail away - styx

im so heavy - florence and the machine

back in black - acdc

dancing queen - abba

africa - toto

carry on wayward son - kansas

shambala - three dog night

we're not gonna take it - twister sister

wanted dead or alive - bon jovi (yes i am a 2000s kid, I just exclusively listed to old music as a child)

[dark-woods]

Deep rooted anguish

the pain and misery and confusion

and emotion

and

everything

is flowing under my bones

in the deeper sectors of my being

taking root and flowering

burrowing in the hollow spots

the only way

to force it out

is to cry

and cry

and

cry

and then I hold back bitter regret

until it cascades down

in a crashing motion

like every perfectly planned angle

is suddenly going sideways

and i keep simulations

in my head

of the

could have been

would have done

should have known

and they don’t understand that

one mistake

is the first step

to many

many

mistakes

that are harboring themselves in my psyche

and ruining this one blessed chance i have

because once it’s over

it’s over

and thats all I have

this

once

chance

[dark-woods]

They Slay Gods

Men are mortal

It is in their name

And they think themselves gods on earth

Angels of death

Agents of grim

Sent to dissolve the world into nothingness

To let the blood flow from every blade

To take the lives of every ancient beast

To slay the old gods

But they are not a new pantheon

They will soon die

And leave a broken galaxy behind

[dark-woods]

Light Tricks

soft lights dancing on the wall

their dainty lilac smells sweet

and caresses me on a summer afternoon

it fractures through the window pane

and scatters on the ivory wall

the sheets to my bed are light and airy

the whole world is alit with lithe calm

and the light dances in my eyes

traveling from the edge of the universe

to me

in an instant

[dark-woods]

The Cosmic Calling

I was forged in the core of a star

The astral hearth crafted every inch of my being

Out of stardust and elements

And sent my soul into my vessel on this isolated planet

I saw the stars from below

Watching the heavens turn without me

Separated from my blood and bone

Falling into oblivion in my dreams

Only to resurface on the rock I started on

So I kept observing, counting, calculating

I went to a planetarium and saw my kin

And I gazed at the planets from my window

Why this planet? This world?

If only I could be the celestial being of my own domain

The dying stars swirling around my pale form

My fingertips burning

My hair becoming silicon

The carbon in my marrow evaporating

My eyes blind with starlight

Shedding this cage

Embracing the forest of space

Ascension

Apocalypse

Forever

[dark-woods]

The Plan

Summers i’ll never forget

Stores and rivers and trees

A pretty college campus

With big windows

And long study nights

And then a forest near the sea

With a ferry that crosses the ocean

A computer by a window

Three cats 

And a dog

A little hearth burning on

And a wardrobe bigger than the sky

[dark-woods]

I hate you

you took away my people’s song

their voice

their stories

you took it all away and replaced it with hollow hunger

slaves to a church bell

choking on their own language 

 dashed over the rocks selkies once stood

i cannot forgive you

but my grandmother loved you so

and my people came to praise you

because they had forgotten what you pried from their tearful hands

[dark-woods]

a poem for the woods

let the woods consume me

the moss never-ending

the forest goes on and on

through the arch and over the glen

i’m starting to feel the sun on my skin

the trees speak to me

i am free
