1.
I’m now seeing the beauty of spring 
In the melancholy of being left behind in winter The first swallows dance above the river’s surface
 The looking glass into the heavens
 The bank, a frame into the future While I stand awash, drowned in the past
 Sprigs of green and the shade of wisteria
 Cover the limbs of trees awakened Their vines, they choke my labored breath
 As flowers bloom in blissful unawareness
 Remember me in the last breeze of autumn’s memory The world turns new again

Every day the sun will rise Another way to be a fool And i know that you can see There is something wrong with me Can’t help the way my brain is wired Or the burning house i grew in I integrate as well as sunflower oil In the sea of all of you Something in my faulty mechanics Staring into strained relations Weight of simple pleasantries In languages i cannot speak はじめましてどうぞよろしく Asalum walaykum A stranger struggling to breathe Forever on the outside looking in In tongues not of the world around me Forever on the outside looking in
3.
If not your respect, I’ve at least earned my bitterness Cursed life of building the wilderness Paintings of extended spectrum All you see is incompletion Broken lines complete the portrait Every red is blood and sweat Eyes flow downward with Aether begging for release Fragmented possibilities mixed helplessly together 極道)な涙は落ちっている 俺は気ままな神だ 寂しくて 寂しくて
4.
大丈夫んだよ 怒っていない I only wish you would shut the fuck up You waste of space, waste of life, waste of air in your lungs Goddamn the sound of your voice is like swallowing bleach For fucking years you found yourself in detestability A worthless pest in a swarm of coprophagy Clutching plastic pearls in the face of your just desserts Feast for scavengers is the sum of all you’re worth Mindless destruction never fearing repercussion Pull a sapling down and it will double back on you An open mouth may be at will to loose a thousand arrows A million hands will be on point to respond
5.
Too much darkness to be welcomed by the walkers of the light But a heart to be a stranger to the creatures of the night Struggling chromatic grey, a complement to no one A hue that wishes to illuminate, but neither can it darken A shifting wall grows ever higher Living, breathing arms at length I’d try to climb if i could reach it The ground below me giving way Struggling tongue to shape into pleasing sound Can a creature born of croaking ever truly learn to sing? A broken vase in need of pieces But I could never truly fit Sandpaper breathing, anaerobic life I now betray The birds they sing for spring and summer, yet they curse my name A balloon caught up in the branches of a sleeping tree To float or fall alike both only bring forth tragedy
6.
Everyone’s dressed in the Emperor’s Clothes Rotten shades of nakedness More than you’ve shown your hand You’re playing 52 card pickup now Image of the reaper on your family altar Thirsting for the cock of destruction Death cult peons in your Sunday finest Drink the poisoned grape juice Parallel dimension twisted into collision Dragging us all into the hell you long for Plastic smiles bleed into the ocean A sea of fucking garbage crash against the shore Allergic to the silver in your bathroom mirror Staying only for the smell of your own shit Once an escape existed, now the world is washed in madness There was a hole here, it’s gone now If you were to greet your reflection You’d rip out your eyes rather than face the truth
7.
Just another nothingface Ride the backs of bigger beasts Tick wedged in the scales of a dragon Suck its blood and lay your goddamn eggs Thinking twice now before I wander Into the tall grass you posture on Maybe the better option in this case A can of gasoline and habitat recession I’ll set myself on fire before I let you feast My blood is cold and just might freeze you from the inside out Rip your jaws from my skin I’ve had enough, it’s fucking over Fuck you!
8.
I am so sorry for how self obsessed I’ve become When I see my reflection I see my father’s son The inherited callousness now that grips my heart This is my ghost who’s come to drag me down I’m guilty, so guilty I love myself so much it fucks me over I’m guilty, I’m selfish Teach me to care for others more than my own damn hide Insomniac the only thing that can bring me sleep Are all the memories of helping someone else in need Don’t want to be a hero, I never cared for glory All that I want is for my fucking life to mean something Teach me your language so that I may speak a word of comfort A creature grown in silence, give me a tongue of waters Help me find a way to bring some light into this cave Echolocation only serves myself but I am willing and ready to learn to start a fire
9.
I hope you know I will always be your friend I hope you know I hope you know

about

An update/re mix/remaster of "2009 Is Gonna Be My Year" because the original wasn't loud enough. Some of the synths have been changed around, but otherwise it's the same album only with more dirt and guts. This is how it was meant to be heard.
