about

Powerful avatars, illusions, and crushing desires are attracted to the trials of the subconscious mind. The siren Lilith rises from the chaotic ocean of her mother Tiamat, calling the unwise to destruction, masked as the void-riding social climber.

lyrics

All is moving as one
The trees are our heaving lungs
Hold your soul to the sky
For the stars are our flesh
Square your feet to the earth
And stand tall on our bones
Pull yourself a little higher
A little higher than the rest

How far can you see
Now that you've got your hooks in me?

She's a social climber
A bright-eyed other and a two-tongued liar
Social Climber
Ride your rocket from the earth to the Ursa Minor
Social climber
Weird-eyed other with the green eye-liner
Social Climber
Ride your rocket from the earth to the Ursa Minor

So stop with the charade
Because I can't pretend anymore
That I don't know who you are
Because I've met you before
Unwind your mind
Let it slip back into its molten core
Beneath the smile of a survivor
I'd like to see a little more

Lust and heat, writhe and speak
A tongue that's caught in Lilith's teeth
Writhe and speak, lust and heat
A tongue that's caught in Lilith's teeth

The owl knows much about this world
She sees very far
She catches quick and timid souls
Who stumble in the dark
False reason is her nightly cloak
And baseless fear her claw
She scatters the rats scurrying
From ridicule and law

Lust and heat, writhe and speak
A tongue that's caught in Lilith's teeth
Writhe and speak, lust and heat
A tongue that's caught in Lilith's teeth
