A Sense of Gravity - Reclusive Peace

Reclusive Peace


Alarms that disturb the sublime, chime
Bells toll eternal
Upset in earnest atrophy, tapeworms feed
Equivocation now repeats

Please don’t leave us
We don’t need much
Come now, join us
Loneliness lost

Extroverted noble
Introverted thief
Destinies decided
One’s for all to quench his thirst, unless the other ends him first

Extroversion, noble
Introversion, greed
Forced reciprocation
The fiends still wrench the crown I seek, ventriloquists’ hyperbole

Please leave me be
Why can't you relieve me from
Bleeding niceties
Reclusive peace
Sleeping happily
Knowing this world's paused for me

Cold nightscape I admire
Stay here while I lie
Awakening postponed
Outside me let flow what’s duly owed

[Morgan and Brandon Guitar/Keyboard Unison]

Deadening sorrows
Invigorate alone
In my burnt out hollow
Decrepit growth
My dead slumber
Expelling penetrants
My prime substrate
Must be condoned
A drowning wretch in flooded halls

Please leave me be
Why can't you relieve me from
Bleeding niceties
Reclusive peace
Sleeping happily
Knowing this world's paused for me
All your needs, deaden my ecstasy
I deplore you

Fiends of the crown, malignant strain
Sickening
Evil nears
A virulent catastrophe
In me
I’m shutting down inside
