lyrics
Deciduous
Shedding every layer you’ve ever built up.
Some calloused, some fragile, but rooting from the same trunk
An avalanche of turmoil, a wave of delusion.
This isn’t how self-fulfillment is measured nor found.
It’s these spires from which you have crawled
Every cobblestone step from which you have slipped on
It’s these failures that hewn our comprehension
It’s these failures that hewn our understanding
Oh, Bathing in the marrow of conformity
A cesspool from which false-selves are born
Forefathers of distress;
Sorcerers of unyielding anguish
Grant me your burdens
Some form of diversion
Just an ounce of substance
Something of pure essence
Just something fucking real
Among these mountaintops
Above the valleys of uncertainty
The quintessence of self-realization
And when you find it, grasp what’s left
The forking path ahead
is merciless.
So let your stride
wax and wane
Darting between
every obstacle
And its intolerable
consequence
To a life
of willfulness
A path of Dis-
ambiguation
A reason to
keep striving for
One last promise
of persistence
Shedding every layer you’ve ever built up.
Some calloused, some fragile, but rooting from the same trunk
An avalanche of turmoil, a wave of delusion.
This isn’t how self-fulfillment is measured nor found.
It’s these spires from which you have crawled
Every cobblestone step from which you have slipped on
It’s these failures that hewn our comprehension
It’s these failures that hewn our understanding
Oh, Bathing in the marrow of conformity
A cesspool from which false-selves are born
Forefathers of distress;
Sorcerers of unyielding anguish
Grant me your burdens
Some form of diversion
Just an ounce of substance
Something of pure essence
Just something fucking real
Among these mountaintops
Above the valleys of uncertainty
The quintessence of self-realization
And when you find it, grasp what’s left
The forking path ahead
is merciless.
So let your stride
wax and wane
Darting between
every obstacle
And its intolerable
consequence
To a life
of willfulness
A path of Dis-
ambiguation
A reason to
keep striving for
One last promise
of persistence

PSA: if there was an album you heard a couple years ago and thought it was ok, listen to it again and you might love it. That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter.
