about

there is a site in Lincoln that I call the ascension tower

it has been a source of much horror for me

it has been called a portal to hell

but it's actually just a big rainbow

lyrics

lyrics:


i’m elated

fixated

on the sight of rain and destruction beyond the glass

(rushing by rustling the leaves and

i see it through the frosted windows)

(cold glass)

(glittering ice, a distant scraping)

(distant figure becomes demon in my eyes)


i want to believe i am from another planet to explain these strange happenings

the externalization of the chaos inside

imagination bleeds out into the world


(power, its power)


the ascension tower

towering over, power amplifying

amplification of this chaos

(chaos)


i close my eyes so they can't find me

all i see is electricity

behind my eyelids

extraterrestrial form, insectoid skull, antennae of gold and blood red

my survival is out of my control


i'm elated

fixated

on the sight of rain and destruction beyond the glass
