Clouds Conquer
05:08

|
consider the prospect
of the day you die
and the clouds
will conquer the sky
the sunlit grass
A figment of the past
the flashbulb celebrations
and raised-glass dedications
to the ones we love and loved
imagine the day
when it all goes away
the obliterating rays
of sunlight purge the attic of memory
curtains drawn aside
gaze upon the outside
the swirling, sweltering throb of lifelines
contemplate
pick between the lines
between the the roots and the vines
into the records of the time
you spent in revelry
in broken-hearted agony
the late night acquaintance made
the last words you could have said
consider the prospect
you can’t deny tectonics
as earth shatters
for the day of your burial
just as it did
for the day of your birth

Valley of Lights

I’ve been here before
if only in a dream or a mis-remembered past
the dull ache in my chest
the sentiment of recurrence
time after time
I realize how far
we’ve come
I realize who i’ve
become
no need to ask for
absolution
no need to wait for
revelation
as the immense spiral
twists around me
My thoughts swirl
history crashes down
thunderously
another step through cold air
will my foot touch ground?
as a saunter through night time streets
but around me there is only
history
as lifetimes unfold
the pulsing valley of lights
so coursing with life
so immense through tear blurred eyes
hand in hand
we will step together
hand in hand
all will be alright

Pillowcase Horizon
01:56
|
|||
|
soft, gossamer, nebulous shimmering lips and tongues
glistening mother of pearl saliva.
tracing, pulling, across skin and sheets, leaving moonlight residue.
warm puddles on the skin turn the body to a flowing, ephemeral form.
pleasureful, comfortable warmth - dissolution between sheets.
running down from the raised pillows into the recesses of the bed.
My pillowcase horizon - a vision of entangled hearts, forever.

Manifestation
02:49
|
|||
|
I feel as if i am living in a dream, this violet haze has soaked into my bones. faint traces of symbols manifest, giving my grotesque body a contour, an orientation, no matter how quickly it may dissolve
I know that it was meant to be, and I swell
a flash through leaves
suddenly exterminated with a sad smile,
scattered and refracted
how illusory the world looks bathed in silver
phantasmagoric, demarcations ceased to be clear

Chalice
05:44
|
|||
|
Feeble Light
Empty words
my own hands
iniquity
my heart
so full of love
without a compass
is a shell,
a chalice to fill,
a conduit
alone I am an empty tale
an inverted shadow
without weight
contextless, I live through you
as I bathe in window rays
and become a hollow ache
so full of love
but unto whom?
the serpent bites down
on its own tail
circle of roots and blood
spiral of time
without you, I am no one
without you all, I am but naught.

Reckonings
03:05
|
|||
|
reckonings
closure in motion
season gives way to season
another room to fill
another grave to dig
another glass to raise
another ribcage
burning with passion
the hurt of separation
the fire of adoration
the cutting of transition
I am a creature of light and love
a product of all tender efforts
and despair will give way to peace
as clouds give way to sunlight

Lavender Colored Life Washington, D.C.
An odd place to take electronic music, a cross between the supersaw synths of dancey, witch housey music like Crystal Castles, Crim3s, Salem, IC3PEAK and K1LLRGVP, with the gloomcore of Enemies List, influenced heavily by Planning for Burial, Have a Nice Life and Black Wing, topped with black metal influences, drawing on Immortal Life-era Liturgy, Mamaleek, Deafheaven etc etc... ... more
Lavender Colored Life recommends:
Fantastic, staggering, overwhelming, devastating. Planning For Burial crafts a slow-moving behemoth of glorious and beautiful gloom. His work has been a huge influence on Lavender Colored Life
go to album
The raw synths of this witch house project, and the razor sharp, simple-yet-effective melodies make this release both emotionally potent and physically exhilarating
go to album
Harsh but moving, an electronic lamentation that is mournful but cuttingly alive. Sharp, transparent production, but every second is truly authentic. great work.
