    Familiarity.

    It can be comforting and soothing.

    Or it can be menacing and terrifying.

    At the moment, Robin has no way to know which way to feel.

    He sits in the gloom pondering his current situation and feeling very much like a fool.
    It all seemed so palpable. Real danger. Actual wounds with places now occupied by actual scars.
    Memories held and skills learned while trapped in The Stone House. He’s had dreams before. Of course he has.
    And although it’s not always easy to distinguish experience from fantasy, he felt like he had a pretty good handle on the difference.
    Now…not so much.

    The boundaries of this place cannot be seen as yet.
    But the sounds of his own breath belie the approximate size of the space.
    Not much light here, but what there is, is dim and bluish.
    At the edges of his perception there are frames defining the boundaries fading into view.
    As the smoke loiters, the paintings are more visible than before.
    Walls obscured by heavy curtains are dominated by enormous old frames enclosing a number of vivid paintings.

    They are gathered here as if to a wake - watching him. Waiting for Robin to view them.
    The overriding desire of all paintings is to be experienced. To be appreciated. To be seen.
    Each possesses the essence of the one who created it.
    Imbued with the passion, the anger, the lust, the drive that compelled the hand which brushed them into life.
    They have hung here for an eternity. Waiting. Waiting to fulfill their purpose.

    They have dark gifts to give. And they can sense that he is ready.

If... 01:54
If If I am Here, then it’s clear Something is missing inside Hurt that is learning to hide In the sound underground The Gallery hidden from view Is waiting to wonder anew Still and silent Fire is feeding my hell Faith is healing my shell c2023 Firewall Music Ltd. (ASCAP)

Hypogeum 10:05
Hypogeum Down here the maze is without end Stone breaks a promise to pretend Left here to face what they may bring Kept here in service to the king All the bodies they buried Stir where they lay Showing each other the way Live for today And fight for tomorrow Down here the night does not prevail No soul is left to live the tale Darkened now the lights that never shone Struck down in anger they never made it home All the torches they carried Burn anyway Showing each other the way Live for today And fight for tomorrow —————————————————+ If I see through my fear The face of my savior is clear Painted to match what I feel Angry and violent The phantoms are rising unseen Fate will not intervene Down here the heart denies it’s pain Seeing clearly the rush to be insane Held here suspended in the dark Hope waits for someone to reignite the spark All the torches they carried Burn anyway Showing each other the way Live for today And fight for tomorrow c2023 Firewall Music Ltd.

All Our Yesterdays The hate that we cling to for safety Is dragging us down to the drain No one is listening lately Aimlessly shouting in vain Descended from there into madness Sowing the seeds of demise Pretended the end isn’t chaos Becoming the ones we despise Endlessly filling the green in our eyes Praying for time - See how it flies Speeding to some destination Blind to a treacherous bend Anger consuming perfection Never a thought to the end Sparks of life that want to flow through us Are waiting to be welcomed in The last light that gathered around us Seeking somewhere to begin Endlessly feeding the greed in our lives Playing the line - Kiss it goodbye We have betrayed All our yesterdays And discovered a grave new world We could have stayed All was washed away By forgetting the songs we heard Of those days —————————————————————+ Divisions that hide our horizons Can only be seen from on high The world falls apart as it rises No gravity there to defy Ascended from hell into hopeless We carried the dust of our lives Suspended the rest of our progress And sold off the true compromise Anxiously searching for truth in the skies Playing for time - Living the lies We have betrayed All our yesterdays And discovered a grave new world We could have stayed All was washed away By forgetting the songs we heard Of those days c2023 Firewall Music Ltd ASCAP

Parallax Error Looking over shoulders The past becomes our judge The way ahead is clouded Behind us not so much Distance measured by grief Feelings do not align We assign the divine to the absent We are faced with the evidence Of things unseen Life is not a mistake c2023 Firewall Music Ltd (ASCAP)

Schizophonia 08:20
Schizophonia Experience - Perception Seventh sense - Deception Future tense - Cannot become Recording and deleting at once The crest of the waveform That crashes and flows Learning to be there Searching for somewhere Modulate - Not quite blending Hesitate - Not worth mending Inner voice - Can’t duplicate Straining to extract too late The last of the white noise That rises and slows Wanting to live there Echo to nowhere If it sings to you, it’s music And nothing else is there to hear If it speaks to you, it’s magic And nothing needs to disappear Children of Harmony Filter and grow Reaching for some way Nearing the last day ————————————————+ Random thoughts to organize Holding up the final sound Never seem to realize The answer is the fate we’ve found Breathing the real air And knowing it sees My face in the trees Time to release If it sings to you, it’s music And nothing else is there to hear If it speaks to you, it’s magic And nothing needs to disappear Children of Harmony Filter and grow Reaching for some way Nearing the last day c2023 Firewall Music Ltd.

Broken 06:28
Broken If I could hide myself Behind the face I wear Praying for no one to find me here Don’t make me wash out the stain If I could find myself With no allegiance to swear Waiting for Eden to reappear Don’t make me hurt you again ====+ Something that was made to be endless Nothing that was meant to be hopeless Became that way If I could see myself As almost anyone else The weight of the war will not disappear No one can carry my chain ====+ Somewhere at the end I feel helpless Nowhere to pretend this is madness To live this way Breaking the word never known That someone tried to silence It’s already spoken Wounded where scars never show Evil came to bend me I’m already broken And out in the open ———————————————————+ If I could be like them The ones we don’t understand Knowing that no one will help us here The way to continue is plain If I could help myself Would I give me a hand? Waiting for reason to disappear Don’t make me love you again ====+ Breaking the word never known That someone tried to silence It’s already spoken Wounded where scars never show Evil came to bend me I’m already broken And out in the open c2023 Firewall Music Ltd.

The Lazarus Hex They believed him a gentle man With a smile and a guiding hand Too blind to know that they were blind Living for the shadows in his mind Feeding the monster all of the time Holding the demons down In the black light dimension he found Too proud to care about the price Nothing here could satisfy his vice Burning alive under the ice No embers alive No cowards survive here Imprisoned against their will The phantoms that fell Invited to dwell here Resisting their tormentor still The righteous move in for the kill She believed him a gentle man And she smiled as she took his hand Too young to know he was insane The monster didn’t even know her name Pleading for time struck down the same She whispered the words Destroying the doorway Aware of the price to her soul The spirits that heard Would judge him their own way And take back the lives that he stole The inferno would spit him back whole ------------------------------------------------+ He isn’t reborn He’s not resurrected He never had left this place The ones that he knew Had never suspected The beast that was wearing his face His secret is known He’s stranded forever And no one remembers his name The spell that she cast Would cost her forever But he would be paying the same A pawn in the damnation game c2023 Firewall Music Ltd.

The Sum Of What’s Missing I keep in my heart Some of what’s missing inside me Practice the art Silently solving the pain She added the dawn And subtracted the dark Dividing me from That which I did not need And washing the wounds While I bleed I’m still living behind No comfort to find What’s missed inside Arrived at the sum That’s missed inside I carry the one Who’s missed inside In solitude Something I said to myself Wondering why Hard as I try No equation can find the remainder Inside She comforts me Even though eyes cannot see her Something I save To convince me I’m brave No ascension can help me to save her I’ll carry the one I stared at the shade Questioning the answers The light she made Gives me nowhere to hide Equations divide What’s missed inside Cross the grandest divide I’ll carry the one Who’s missed inside I carry the one Who’s missed inside Arrived at the sum That’s missed inside I carry the one Who’s missed inside c2023 Firewall Music Ltd.

Pentimento 11:13
Pentimento Paint by numbers Something I’ve come to forget Flowing under Nothing I’ve come to regret Layered colors Hiding the answers I’ve found Ghostly others Lying in wait for the sound And the loudest of colors surround Oh, Pentimento Concealing the wonder inside you So sentimental My image is fading away With nothing remaining to say Saturated Bathed in a luminous stream Elevated I painted a previous dream And I’m left with myself in between Oh, Pentimento It seemed I had wandered beyond you Torn at the center You hid all my treasures away Oh, Pentimento The canvas is singing my story Slowing the tempo Disguising their meaning this way And framing their voices at play Mournful the sound to the wandering wounded Wishing for chains and so made by the hundred Hope lies along every pathway gone wrong Life sings along though no one knows the song Pictures sustain unforgettable fire Held in suspension for eyes that desire All that they show ———————————————————+ Pain by numbers Learning to work with it now Stained by wonders But hiding them safely somehow And the star is seen taking a bow Oh, Pentimento It seemed I had wandered beyond you Torn at the center You hid all my treasures away Oh, Pentimento The canvas is singing my story Slowing the tempo Disguising their meaning this way With words I don’t know how to say c2023 Firewall Music Ltd. (ASCAP) The word pentimento is derived from the Italian 'pentirsi', which means to repent or change your mind. Pentimento is a change made by the artist during the process of painting. These changes are usually hidden beneath a subsequent paint layer.

...Then 05:54
Then The images gathering here Have waited for me to appear Their stories have needed my songs And now they can all sing along ———————————————+ Nothing is wrong Where you belong No more to say Give it away Now that it’s clear Doorways appear Waiting in silence The ending is drawing you near Fate will not interfere Leave the pictures behind you here c2023 Firewall Music Ltd.
