The Last Surrealist - To Kiss My Beloved With Eyes Wide Shut (POST LIFE MUSIC) video free download

This is a track from my full length album POST LIFE MUSIC. It draws inspiration from styles like post rock, soundtrack, and neo-folk. In particular, the band A Silver Mt. Zion lent much influence into the crafting of the lyrics. I couldn't get a "The Triumph of Our Tired Eyes" out of my mind, and was addicted to the hook in the "musicians are cowards" segment of the track. I do believe I was able to re-envision this segment of their song to my own ends detailing my philosophical disposition towards nihilism paired with longing for love in spite of the death of my sister some time ago.

Lyrics:

I lament for the deaf and blind

While the mute verbalize behind tired eyes

Triumphant!

As he consummates with color

An aesthetic finale and stupor

I am convinced my drug addicted savior

Reigns in victorious sleep!

As she slits her wrists and bellows to the godless

Oh, the godless sit upon vacant gallows

Tying their own nooses and in melancholy sadness

Vie for knives to break their beaks

As they stand at the pinnacle of disease

Growing the graves of humanity

From the preliminary communal seedlings

But you reign victorious!

On an Earth consuming the corpse flowers

Of mothers and brothers,

Sisters and fathers

Musicians and cowards

Musicians and cowards

Musicians and cowards

Musicians and cowards

Musicians and cowards

We all cower at the sight of monsters...

You are like the night sky

On a cloudy day in the midst of the city

Polluted and inaccessible to me

But beautiful as you captivate my dreams

Oh, god have mercy on me

We pray to the vacancy

On our prostrate and broken knees

Breath is stolen from me

As I arrive at your murder scene

Oh, god have mercy on me!

Oh, god have mercy on me!

I can't help but feel nothing

Pure apathy and displacency

This is what death has done to me

This is what death has done to me
