Unspeakable Truths

Open your eyes
sleep for twenty years
did you dream?
did you feel nothing at all?
Your awakening
brings forth a buried mind
a sleep walker's visions
step forward into the light
He speaks your name, cesare
guiding your every move
like a new born you emerge from your tomb
Now you have their attention
your words
they conjure their darkest fears
speaking unspeakable truths
truths no one should ever here
- when will i die?
- when will I die?
- when will i die?
- when will i die
is it a matter of choice?
or a matter of time?

I dig the earth
for Buried lies
It splits apart
i look inside
Beneath the crust
guarded truths
a beating heart
in its tomb
I am your obsession
I am your passion
You share a mind
With the man in the cabinet
I move my legs
the earth starts shaking
the earth collapses
in itself
I reach my hands
for a solid ground
I spiral down
and down
I re-emerge
to face the mirror
my own reflection
unsheathes its knife
I try to turn
but the blade cuts deep
I pull it out
and he starts to speak
I am your obsession
I am your passion
You share a mind
with the man asleep in the cabinet

Sleep Walker
05:39
|

|
I slip into the dream world
asleep and awake
I take to the streets
my only escape
my pupils reflected
in back my mind
peering further inward
to another's desires
a moving shadow
obscured by the darkness
street lights revealing
my skeletal form
trapped in my own skin
the devil's plaything
my idle hands
enlisted into violence
Sleep Walker...
A surrogate body
in my stead
he covers my tracks
as i walk lik e the dead
I try to break free
as i'm haunted by her face
what have I become?
why am I here?
I crawl onto the pavement
fighting the urge
the blood lust pulling me
like a puppet master
is this my own will?
or is it his?
do I have a say in these malicious actions?

Asylum
09:11
|

|
Lost in the darkness
in the depths of your mind
a false reality
is where you find asylum
She's the queen of hearts
YOu look her in her eyes
but as she turns her head
you see there's nothing there
fever's high
thoughts they are confused
with brick and mortar gone
the structure starts to fall
distorted faces twist
surrounded by hyenas
laughing in your face
Accusations fly
with such certainty
but its you who is judged
to be condemned
you've all cracked
you're all lucid dreamers
the one that stand before you
has the blood on his hands
you've all cracked
you're all lucid dreamers
this is no asylum
its a den of lunatics
you've all cracked
you're all lucid dreamers
I'm not the guilty one
i swear i'm in contro
you've all cracked
you're all lucid dreamers
Please wake up reconsider
you're making a mistake

Cracked
04:18
|

|
As I pass through the threshold the ghost on my shoulders extends its black wings and ascends to the clouds
I cover a bridge where insidious truths become mangled and twisted like disfigured roots
I dare to look back and i witness my sanity lying in a shadow at the sleepwalker's feet
The bird re-emerges and dives from the sky he feasts on the corpse of my fragmented mind
Oh please lord forgive me
what have I done?
take a look at my hands and
they are covered in blood
The face in the mirror
No I swear Its not my own
I see a murderer, a liar, a face made of stone
Rain fire from above
please come down and cleanse my soul
I don't deserve your mercy
I'll repent forevermore
I have cracked
It was all a lucid dream
I'm the Sleepwalker
I am Dr Caligari
I have cracked
I've been lucid dreaming
Tell the Dr. Caligari
Tell that dreamer, Cesare
I have cracked
I've been lucid dreaming
Yeah tell my Queen of Hearts
I'll see them all when I wake

Jaguardini Harrisonburg, Virginia
Jaguardini treats music like a science project, combining the sounds of old video games and synthesizers to create a live blend of lofi synthpop and energetic dark wave. Christo manipulates a gameboy, a vocoder, synths, and an electric guitar with a CRT TV set on his head. Influenced by Crystal Castles, Pink Floyd, The Cure, Ghostland Observatory, Beethoven, Ladytron, MGMT, and Disasterpeace. ... more
