about

"Written the same day as 'Into the Heart of Night' initially, and finished over the course of a couple months after that.
The song is based on the feeling immediately following a great burst of inspiration, enlightenment, and/or nostalgia...when these feelings begin to fade and the dullness of normal life creeps back in, that desperate urge to flee from your life and find a way to find absolute union with your most treasured emotions, even if it involves dying. It is a song that will remain "emotionally relevant" as long as Obsidian Tongue is a performing band.

lyrics

Live in night - perceive the rings beyond men
lay for days until they all settle again
forgetting flesh - awareness shifts to the trees
lunar glow: surrender to unite with him
I see my bones deatomize
brain turns to gas and goes
I fill the space with the rays
Sustain this blessing
Hades fires peripheral - I am between the plains

Man again, forced to resume enemy form
hope the equilibrium has changed
did any detestable thought suffocate in the leaves?
Never made it back inside, when the hole closed again?

The moonroom needs kin to live on
The lunar hum growing fainter now
Thin now - life forms bridging beast and sky
As a creator I have mere remains

Was I born to bury phantom births of the Moonroom??
Conception marred by ancient order - the serpent deemed such unity unallowed

With body as a chapel and mortal trials a sky
I forge constellations with mummified remains
