I can feel it
and it never leaves my heart
a yearning
that never comes apart
and I know it will be a fire
now it's a spark
and it's flames will light my way
and will lead me from the dark
I could show you
if you believe me
I just follow my heart
and I don't know where it leads me
but I can feel it
I can see it
I know all I have to do
everything is possible now
it's inside me
it's everything I am
I already know it
thought I don't fully understaned
I must partake in
this journey of my heart
stoke the embers that I've tended
and watch this fire start
nothing could stop me now

Cast a spell
on the wishing well
through the towel in
damn it all to hell
embrace it's presence now
you can breathe it in
become it's essence now
watch it all begin
let it go and let it be true
let yourself become consumed
open your eyes to it and you'll see
all the reoccurring syncronicity
take a trip
down the rabbit hole
finding where you live
let your feelings grow
becoming something more
than what you were before
it was always there
now you're finally sure

Step into the Light

hypocrisy is leaving me
the shadow of what I could be
i'm turning from what's ruining me
I eat myself, consuming me
Reverse the curse I've casted on myself
kill my demons in a sacrafice
there is a war I cannot ignore
even if I don't wanna fight
I know I have to face the truth
it's time to step into the light
today's the day
I melt away
affliction with what I could be
I'm fighting all that's ruining me
I eat myself, consuming me

hologram dream
puts me to sleep
secrets you keep
held close to my heart
hologram life
bring to the light
finally find what it means
what it means to be alive
it has all been a lie
you will find out when you die
it has all been a lie

butterflies in my stomach
flowers in my mind
i can feel them growing
in my heart all the time
growing in the daylight
feeding on the sun
blooming and consuming
sol for everyone
"Great civilizations built soaring temples, and their priests dedicated their lives to the worship and study of the sun"
builds me as I'm growing
always gives me light
creation inspiration
in an unlimited supply
I can feel it's warmth
in a world so cold
I can feel it's sacredness
nothing is more old
"a lot of people don't understand what the sun can be used for (and) know what the sun can do"

Black Magick
03:31
|
|||
|
Out of your head
they'll never show you why
what's meant when said
there's more than what meets the eye
truth that we've found in ruins
somehow the truth won't die
the thought of it all consumes
prying open your mind
black magick is killing everything
it is all around us now
the light that Satan brings
it has surely found us now
it is a consuming fire
that is brightly burning
but it cannot fuel the light
for which our souls are yearning
bleach the skin of Christ
and pervert his love
possess their hearts in church
bring the below above
that is where Satan lurks
he is at their steeple
masquerading as god
brainwashing the people
they killed all the ancient cultures
they burned all their sacred texts
to make their dark magick stronger
put the world under their hex

Feeling bright in the daytime as I open up my eyes
empty thoughts by the wayside
I'm finally feeling fine
broken thoughts in the mirror have faded into dust
liberated from my fear I've began testing my luck
I test my luck, I'll test my luck, I test my luck
heed the call of the vision i have inside my mind
fill up pieces of paper with what was once inside
technicolor drippings on the canvas of my mind
every day I'm figuring out who I am and I'm feeling fine
I'm fine, I'm alright, I'm fine

Don't you know just how far that you could go?
It is up to you to make it show
bring it all to the table and grow
from a seedling to the top of the world
climb the beanstalk up to the sky
to where the giants all live their lives
the only thing that's stopping you is yourself
come with me above the stratosphere and galaxy
tranquilly moving far beyond what I ever believe could ever happen
down a stream of consciousness into everything
unnoticed background noise
inside the sound you hear
when it breathes it's almost speaking
don't drown it out
listen carefully to what its about
follow all the signs you see on your path
and you will receive all that you ask
come with me
above the stratosphere and galaxy
moving far beyond what I ever believed could ever happen
now

End of Things?
04:16
|
|||
|
when I walk around I see all these people
so ignorant of their own lives
it must be blissful
just glued to the ground
floating along
no question of anything
not even a wonder
the truth isn't pretty
that none of this matters
but the moments we share
our joy and our laughter
and all this convenience
and all of this luxury
won't be worth these mistakes we've made
for all of eternity
we all return to the dirt
and that's all that we're worth
in the end of things
all the choices we make
are deciding our fate
and if this is the end of things
life is so fragile and pure
we don't see that anymore
that's why this could be the end of things
all we believe in doesn't account for anything
we will crumble to dust like all that came before us
no Gods gonna come from the sky and fix everything
we can do better and we know that we have to
life is so fragile and pure and beautiful
we all return to the dirt that we came from
the choices we make are deciding our fate
i truly do hope that this isn't the end of things

Bloth Arkheim Portland, Oregon
Touring synth-witch/songwriter and composer, formerly of the folk/punk scene.
Midwest USA based
Bloth Arkheim recommends:
Great songs with melodies that get stuck in your head. Much emo vibes.
go to album
Music stripped down to its bare essentials, songwriting that doesn't need anything to hide behind. Songs that can make your heart wrench or warm your heart, sometimes in the same song. Much feels,

The Berserk Demo
by Roaming Bear
Really like the arrangements on this and the almost wobbly feeling of the whole album. Intended to be "demos" I don't think Bear will ever "finish" these songs and he doesn't need to.

The latest from indie rock outfit Activity has a charmingly sinister feel, blending in stark rhythms and washes of dark ambient.
