The Empty Set (free) 02:54
Wilfully led in by a chain around the neck Can’t tell what’s happening Can’t tell what’s lingering below the surface So cordially and with expressions of regret We’re simply set adrift No sign of cause or purpose Spires of marble Crumble in disarray The flotsam caught in gyres of culture and faith With soft consent Our grasps unclench Signifiers break down into silence Reason, design; obscured by dispassionate acts On the ground And too the inverse from vertiginous vantage Spiraling down Isolated and armed with nothing other Than our fears Yet in the filthy cave of human expression We stand united I can’t face it I can’t face them I can’t admit to myself I'm running I can’t admit to myself I’m running I can’t admit to myself I’m nothing Why so senseless Why this endless Maze of attrition -- there’s nothing in it The nihilism and the tyranny Of the empty set Starting today I’m going to shape my life Into something of relevance Before I... I consume all my time Every action we Take All the choices we make that serve to shape Every person we meet... or miss The cardinality of the empty Set increases No constraints are defined Boundless in the empty set We reap what we design From the empty set

Silent Language (free) 03:15
So the cornerstone was placed And the temple rose to form We tally the wine and oil And the thrice great name Of sun moon and stars Heralding The collapse of ritual Ergo sunwise we inscribe Our vision Concentric circles; the silent language sounds Force of will collapsing rings on themselves As the spiral turns The serpent revealed Consumes all its yesterdays What do we make when the maker falls away? What do we save? Tetragrammatons and salt remain Artificial lines As above, so below Be it metempsychoses Or Elesian fields The present’s scripted For the sake of future earnings We lead our lives In shackles to our fear Wholly ignorant of Ataraxy We’ve drawn the lines And with this arc The sacred sigil closes Concentric circles; the silent language sounds Force of will collapsing rings on themselves As the spiral turns The serpent revealed Consumes all its yesterdays What do we make when the maker falls away? What do we save? Tetragrammatons and salt remain Artificial lines As above, so... Raise up the flag; do it slowly, solemnly Raise up the flag, this is what you were meant to be Raise up the flag and make something for yourself
