I won't know you then and it really is a crime Denial What a way to burn your time I'm sorry if you're afraid but we fit together fine Denial Are we wading in its tides? Double Edged Sword transcendentally bored ghost honeymoon in your living room are you coming home soon? O where could I be if I hadn't been me Probably nowhere I would want to go Oh no I won't know you then and it really is a crime Denial what a way to burn your time sorry if you're afraid but we fit together fine Denial are we wading in its tides? Double Edged Sword transcendentally bored ghost honeymoon in your living room are you coming home soon? O where could I be if I hadn't been me Probably nowhere I would wanna go Oh no Double Edged Sword transdimensionally yours butter your bread like the living dead have you given up yet? O what could I say if I hadn't pressed play probably nothing I would wanna say oh yeah

We love death but we loved you more I pray that you weren't keeping score it isn't wise to bet against he who holds the pile even if held to your head's a gun you would know better than anyone we are left but to gaze in wonder at this sudden crooked mile (that we had no idea of) (no idea of - no feel of) (no idea of - no feel of) (you have no idea of) (you have no feel of) (it's not enough) the dream is not the kids are not the home is not the heart is not the love is not the breath is hot the breath is hot the love is not You Are Not Enough I need breath and for it I would go so far I would forget who you are but O the places I have seen nowhere going but in dreams the pointlessness the purpose found both are here underground beneath the water I fill my lungs and still I hope to breathe (but I had no idea of...) (no idea of - no feel of) (no idea of - no feel of) (you have no idea of) (you have no feel of) (it's not enough) the dream is not the kids are not the home is not the heart is not the love is not the breath is hot the breath is hot the love is not You Are Not Enough

Wantless 05:52
I can breathe but I don't want to... where has all the romance gone? I don't want to be a faker just to know where I belong can't tell if they're meant to be here or is it something they put on? How can they all be reflections? thought for sure that I was one... every day I fail the engine there's so little I desire all I seem to find is water every time I'm asked fire but Fire comes when no-one's looking flowing fluid through my veins tell them that it might consume me but all they seem to see is rain... If we must want it'll never matter what it is we truly want I had a point but seems I lost it doesn't matter that I forgot It's getting warmer all around me but getting colder at the font it isn't clear who transcends whom here the moment my love is your haunt I can breathe and now I want to though I'm not certain I know why somewhere back I crossed a threshold but all the maps I have are lies don't think I need to want the truth no for it to come and seek me out why's it so hard to find some faith, yeah why so easy to find doubt

Resolver 04:06
The validity of my thoughts in an insult to an insult to the Universe the game was on the whole time that you thought we would that you thought we would rehearse You treat the criminal like a criminal goodbye lil demi-verse (goodbye lil demi-verse) but for the love of god yeah for the love of god don't mistake him for me I am not an echo of the silence of the silence of this pantomime the thundering of lumber's called being cut off in being cut off in your prime You treat the criminal like an animal hello lil demi-verse (hello lil demi-verse) but for the love of god yeah for the love of god don't forget it's only Time I will not put up with it oh no oh no I will not be what I am not the time has come and gone where I'm mistaken for mistaken for the ghost the ghost you haunt the criminal is subliminal but hello lil demi-verse

Scrape the walls for signs of life every breath a neon light Gen-i-tek chameleon growing without conscious mind Hear me please up in the light breaking through this inch tonight everything I theorize slowly turning into eyes In my genes the past survives history my future spine I emerge a paradox take it with/leave it behind
6.
Alas, alas the Dream is dead turns out it was in your head and only yours and with this Peace your life can end alas death was your only friend your only door for Love, they say, was just a ruse so don't mind me if I refuse to breathe anything at all Life begins after it ends and I can keep a secret through the fall Alas, alas I spoke too soon the light suddenly floods the room from hallway doors and what a scene is here revealed a wound from which you'll never heal a wound that's yours and Love did rear its ugly head the love that you had left for dead but it's too late Life begins after it ends and I've already gone and sealed my fate a dream it was just a dream thank god it was just a dream the Mirror and the Silver Screen thank god it was all a dream thank god it was just a dream thank god it is all a dream

about

The Gui Zen ReMonstered series is my way of reclaiming my early recordings and performances from my inexperience as a mixing artist at the time of their creation. Hopefully this will allow old fans to re-experience these songs with a more fitting energy, and for newcomers to my work to find a more accessible place to enter. Volume 3 is a full album remix and remaster of my 2016 album Mirrorken, in which I wrestled with themes of premature death, derailment and surviving the dark times.
