Lyrics Upended - Howling Sycamore

Upended

I line up my nightmares against these walls
Like pulled rotten teeth on a plate
A circle is formed
An evil eye of sort
I stand in the middle as its dilated pupil
I’ll stare back into darkness this time around
I’m surrounded by ancient memories
Chocked by all the time I let slip away from me
My mouth forced open at the hourglass' bottom
While my feet nervously dig this soil
Stepping on lessons unlearned
In a horrifying spiral of power
That gets stronger the weaker I get
My name is screamed dozen times
It becomes a low guttural sermon
A thick veil of my own sadness corrupts the air
Images of previous lifetimes flickers in my mind
I let myself merge with the other side
I let the Hanged Man teach me how to see
I force my hands and feet to go backwards
I let myself to see upside down for once
I let my aura withered
In the same way the Spider changes his skin
I laugh at where I am at
I laugh at where I’m heading
I laugh for what I’m becoming
I cry my very first tears
