Still Light

No peace for gentle souls in hell
Stoned by the wishing well
Angels in self-constructed cells
Got up and wandered to the feast
Where nobody noticed me
Chewing the hopes of the deceased
And there’s still light to be had from home
Was it real or not, darling I don’t know
And there’s still love in the dark of your heart
Was it real or not, darling I don’t know
Burnt by the wiles of flesh
I prayed many years for death
Still I breathe the devil’s breath
Drunk by the fallen family tree
With no tender reverie
Now falls the axe again to me
And there’s still light to be had from home
Was it real or not, darling I don’t know
And there’s still love in the dark of your heart
Was it real or not, darling I don’t know
Not a hand to hold
Not a name to know
Iron in the cold
Feel it twist and groan
Was it real back then?
How you came and went
And there’s still light to be had from home
Was it real or not, darling I don’t know
And there’s still love in the dark of your heart
Was it real or not, darling I don’t know

I’ve walked through the sands of time
Searching for the land divine
I’ve heard the ancient tongues
Bend the light from the stars that shine
These dunes we roam and call our home
With forest wolves my spirit roams
Learning fast from Lupine tomes
These dunes we roam and call our home
Cliffs and peaks, we call our mighty throne
The howling ghosts of desert dynasties
Vacant horizons for eternity
Indigo and silver painted tapestries light the way
Trails fit for canine kings
So to the moon our spirits sing
These dunes we roam and call our home

Abstraction

The hidden hand guides me
Down a living corridor
An unbroken canopy
Shatters and reforms before me
Static green wash
The premeditations are faded
There’s a sense of weightlessness in dead space
In a non-reflective environment
All three-dimensional objects
When exposed to a singular light source
Have a dark side, obscured
Every version of me, reflection
A three-dimensional object
In a reflective environment
Is just that
A reflection on all sides
A copy of itself
Reflections

Water Escapes
09:57

A fading northern sky coldest light of day
Sailing south towards my memories
I feel my bones are old my hair’s turned gray
A different place in view but the same old
Smoke and mirrors days all illusory
I’ve had my fun so now it’s time to pay
The water rises
Just try to keep alive
That tide’s receding
I know I’m not for long
Water escapes the tide
Fire ignites my skies
Winds and rain collide
I can’t believe my eyes
Sorrow invades my mind
My soul has gone and died
O’ yea
I can’t believe my own eyes
But you said you never would again
O’ baby why
Why baby girl
And next time you make up your mind best you know ahead
The things you remember just may not have been how it was
Cause memory’s a bitch, you know it goes so fast
I know you’d like to remember it one way or not at all,
But seeing now, it’s hard to come to terms
Oh my love

The Tide
04:47

Heavy in my bones, pendulum sway
Gallows kept its hold, out in the rain
Have I tried so hard to be this confused?
Try, try, try on this noose, I
Try, try, try on this noose
Magma burnt my veins
Poison and pain
Try, try, try on this noose, I
Try, try, try on this noose
Whimsical in my decay
So I waste away
Labored living out of sight
Quiet suicide
Am I caged or am I free?
Is it up to me?
Can I finish out this ride?
Drowning in the tide
Pull me in
There were days long ago
Had a soul, had some time
Did I trade all myself
All myself, for this blight?
My disgrace, lost that love
In the hurt, in the night
And the rain does not end
Swelling in, endless tide

We are standing in the shadow of the great black pyramid
What is it and who built it here?
The shadow is a lifeforce, a landscape
Stone, the structure, it’s creator
Tones, resonate, a deafening absence of light
Breathe in, slip under
Look up through a liquid lens
I paint my fingertips, over it’s face, it’s mouth
A temporary imprint on a permanent being

Failure to Thrive
03:59
|

|
My grieving’s older than me
It precedes me in my kin
May follow genes of offspring
Insistent worms have dug in
Hear them in dreams (smell them awake)
In brothels or in your church
The antichrist has many names
If you know their names you’re supposed to
If you see their face you’re supposed to
The real ones you’re never close to
If this world makes you sick, it’s supposed to
If you know their names
If you see their face
If you do nothing
This world makes you sick, it’s supposed to
Monuments out of phase
Fade in, trade out
Moving out of phase
Sold off your grace
Growing blame, growing angst, knowing names
When the sky turns black
You’ll know it’s time
You’ll know it’s too late
And cry
The last light’s been doused
Your savior failed to rouse

That lovely road
I trembled on
Was paved with hubris and deception
You built it steep
For lowly dogs to crawl
For me to beg and plead for less than I could need
And now no one knows
Just where I have gone
But all you miss is the abuse I won’t return
You called my name, but no one came
Said you would kill tonight, kill tonight
I tried to change, until today
It broke my will tonight, will tonight
Tried to test my spine
Left me here to die
I let you live, these chains, they force me to forgive
You cannot grasp
How little strength you have
Now it’s a shame to think the pain is never past
I know this game, it does not change
But it’s a thrill tonight, thrill tonight
I taste your breath, as I clutch your neck
And you are still tonight, still tonight
Never will I try to justify my reason
Never will I try to understand my killing hands

Cemetery Road

Cold and bitter lies I told
Back on Cemetery Road
Gales did peel away my sight
Suffocating frozen blight
I lost my mind
A pinch of hate, it clinches fate
For the love you felt, the claims you made
Dig into the earth, and you’ll find
The heart of my wayward bride
I lost my mind

Faerie Ring return and so does the RIFF, all caps. Faerie Ring take what would be a cookie cutter riff from anyone else and just JUICE it so thoroughly, with passion and energy and melodic interest and the all-important rhythmic groove (much more important to a good stoner riff than loud fuzz), that it just blows out your speaker and makes you mean mug. Guaranteed. I loved the wacky sounds they created in the studio that really push this over the edge from great into bonkers-great.

If you like to live on the edge and have no regard for mindless compliance or conformity, this might just be the ticket. But I gotta warn you, Auralayer's Thousand Petals is probably going to duke it out for Album of the Year at Clean and Sober Stoner, maybe even the Doom Charts, against the likes of Hail the Void, Faery Ring, Snakemother and Acid King. Once you cross that line, it can be hard to go back... Cleanandsoberstoner.com
