Hellscape

from The Anchor by Z the Stranger

/

about

As I enter the ether, my skeleton eviscerates the frail remains of my being and I lose all but control.
I have lost myself in a vacuum I have created.
People on the earth, feel more and more distant as I am pulled away from their stable ground.
They all watch me from the bottom, held down by their anchors that keep them from obliteration.
My anchor is gone. I am faceless.

lyrics

I’ve woken up in a new place.
I can’t stop dreaming ‘bout you, babe.
I’m growing numb to all the pain.
I’ll build my camp in this hellscape.
I’ve woken up in a new place.
I can’t stop dreaming ‘bout you, babe.
I’m growing numb to all the pain.
I’ll build my camp in this hellscape.

I’ve woken up in a new place.
I can’t dreaming ‘bout you, babe.
I’m growing numb to all the pain.
I’ll build my camp in this hellscape.
Indoors, still in the rain.
This glowing, lavender ocean.
Left here out in the open.
My body’s stripped of its motion.
Motivation for art has grown thin.
Made a few good beats, but they’re soulless.
What can I do to make you forget
My surrounding preconceived notions?
People say that Bourbon’s a potion
For exact the situation I’m going
Through the lens of sobriety, all I see is self destruction.
I can’t bring myself to trust it. Nothing left. I’m hopeless.

I’ve woken up in a new place.
I can’t stop dreaming ‘bout you, babe.
I’m growing numb to all the pain.
I’ll build my camp in this hellscape.
I’ve woken up in a new place.
I can’t stop dreaming ‘bout you, babe.
I’m growing numb to all the pain.
I’ll build my camp in this hellscape.

I’ve woken up in a new place.
This glowing lavender ocean
Careening out of control.
Speeding out of the road. I am in this place all alone.
I can’t stop dreaming ‘bout you, babe.
Your memory is a blurred haze.
At the end of a tunnel, I see the image.
I wish I could seize it, but it’s an illusion. Nonexistent.
I’m growing numb to all the pain.
All my skin’s removed, but I’m okay.
My muscles are weak and my bones are frail.
My body falls apart before it disappears.
I’ll build my camp in this hellscape.
I can’t land in this hellscape.
There’s no solid ground in this hellscape.
There is no way out of this hellscape.

Z the Stranger Rockland, Massachusetts

Allow for all to breathe air as clean as Eden. I will drown in the River Styx and keep the planet eternal, along with all the love in it. Your own beauty is yours and no one else's. I will inject the earth with the divine milk of a ghost's breast and the living will never go thirsty. I still remain a stranger to everyone. ... more
