A Dark Horizontal

Lyrics

The dark horizontal
 Ahead, a panting land approaches
 Flaring vibrant coastal glimmers
 Mend the distant fraying seams
 Of a violent waters restless bedding
 Panic indented in the floating web of wicked mental horrors
 Thought up by the crew's subconscious fears
 Come alive to haunt and drain us
 ♪
 The sea is a man that's trying to kill me
 The wind is his repugnant voice
 The air his fouled breath
 A stench of salt of blood and rot
 The sky is his mouth, the stars his open sores
 The shoreline is his jaw, grinding for meat
 ♪
 Time freezes death inside this altering dark horizontal
 Imaginable realities constructed out of fear
 Time freezes death inside this altering dark horizontal
 Imaginable realities constructed out of fear
 Mountains unstable and hideous
 The guardians of a contorting dimensional paragon
 A.U.M
 ♪
 A.U.M. sent us to find and retrieve the artifact
 In the house of change
 Where the king came back
 Through spontaneous regeneration
 Reliving Kairos in the king's hell
 Becoming the mimics from the triplets' well
 Exhuming infinity to find a hand
 A child made out of teeth, feeding on blood and sand
 The sea is a man that's trying to kill me
 The air his fouled breath
 A stench of salt, of blood and rot
 The sky, his mouth, the stars open sores
 The shoreline is his jaw, grinding for meat
 The sea is a man that's trying to kill me
 The sky is his mouth, the stars open sores
 The shoreline is his jaw, grinding for-
 Time freezes death inside this altering dark horizontal
 Imaginable realities constructed out of fear
 Time freezes death inside this altering dark horizontal
 Imaginable realities constructed out of fear
 A dark horizontal
 Flooding the linear land with the sand of its own
 In the parallel dunes of its hourglass
 We are buried
 Mountains unstable and hideous
 The guardians of a contorting dimensional paragon
 ♪
 Raised blades of land stab skyward
 Through the ocean's skin
 Storm winds true their edge to scalp
 The curve of Earth
 Peeling off the rind, revealing a house made of living tissue
 Yelling out its mouth for me to regenerate, in it
 In dark horizontal
 Ahead, a panting land approaches
 Flaring vibrant coastal glimmers
 Mend the distant fraying seams
 Of a violent waters restless bedding
 In this house the disease of dream
 Course in the veins and arteries of the walls
 Imagined infections thrive
 They blister and breed under the floor
 Their many roots are breaking through
 Saplings sprout and secure their place
 Growing into trunks of flesh and boil
 The pillars of man's deepest fears
 ♪
 Enclosing me in a forest of unforgiving mental genesis
 I mold this house of clay bacterium
 Where I sculpt my own organ prison
 In this house beyond our time, this house at the end of the Earth
 The artifact's resting place
 ♪
 A dark horizontal fear
 Defying the linear
 ♪
 Lost in this storm and exhausted of options
 I crawled to the bow of the boat and leaped off it
 The figurehead came alive
 And it clawed and it grabbed at me
 Desperately wailing in agony
 Failing to capture my fall
 Diving through the fog
 Through the gray and green
 My hands bound together as if in prayer
 I cut through the mesh of black liquid surrounding us
 Fighting against the live current of thousands of
 Thousands of eyes and hands
 Miles I swam
 Through skin and limb
 The sea is a man that's trying to kill me
 The air his fouled breath
 A stench of salt of blood and rot
 The sky his mouth, the stars his open sores
 The shoreline is his jaw grinding for meat
 The sea is a man that's trying to kill me
 The sky is his mouth, the stars open sores
 The shoreline is his jaw, grinding for
 Time freezes death inside this altering dark horizontal
 Imaginable realities constructed out of fear
 Time freezes death inside this altering dark horizontal
 Imaginable realities constructed out of fear
