How much time awake
Is it gonna take now
Perceptive vapor
Why should It be
Here's some advice to live by
Nothing in you
Never doesn't get a clue
You speak well enough
Of how it's a joke
I wonder what ruse
I'll become
I sigh while I smirk
And follow along
You dance in your sleep
I trace signs in my palm
The mist is rising
Through the columns
Volatalizing variables
Temperature rising
Ascending to the light
Dilated retinal fever
Coded language breezes past me
Crimson vapors swirl
And sweetly lured
The wide-eyed
Into tempered glass
Patterns identified
Polarity in this
Self destruct system
Dissipate the backbone of identity
A dirge placed in the heart
Of a dying star
The static hum
Barters with me for a guess
Barters with me for a guess
Crafted in this ancient alembic
Respect the spirits extracted
Honor the dynamic
That is your narrative
Quiet down inside
Take a look and you'll find
That the Faceless
Beings are formless
Evaporate
Evaporating
Left with remnants of the
Sulphur and salt
I will run this over and over
Recollecting the solvent
Improving the standard
Distillation of the soul
Through the crucible of fire
I purify
Into the depths of chaos
I descend
The essence of my soul
Distill and clarify
Seeking transformation
Until the end
Visions of the opus
Burning bright
I am the vessel
I am the vessel
Fumes of mercury
Rising in the night
