I'm just discarded, I live in a hole in the wall
The only thing I have are bugs for friends and crumbs for food
I dream of the day when I can finally escape
This hardened world and find my way
I won't give up, even though it feels like life is against me
One day I'll make it out, and everyone will see
They'll be sorry for the way they treated me
I'll show them that I'm more than just a thing from the streets
I had been planning my escape for weeks
The dilapidated entrance was my only way out
I was almost there when I heard a voice behind me
Your ninth life is up
No, not today

Serendipity

I watched a little batch of kittens
Clinging to each other for dear life
They were saved by some kind birds
Who swooped down just in time
The kittens yelp in fear
And the birds chirped in reassurance
That everything would be alright
The kittens were flown to safety
And everyone lived happily ever after
This unlikely event sparks me to press my luck and face a fear
A walk into those woods by the cemetery
I can't help but feel a little bit nervous
The trees are so tall and thick
And I can't see the sky
I don't know what's in here
But I hope I'll be safe
I keep walking and walking
Hoping to find something
I spot a large cat
Deep in the woods
Stuck in a collapsed tree
I'm worried for the cat
Deep in the woods
Far from any help
The cat is injured
Deep in the woods
Unable to move
I brave the elements, rain begins to fall sharply
I reach carefully
Our eyes meet, worry and fear
I free the cat and make a friend for life

Morning tea with my past self
would be a bitter cup to swallow
I would sit across from me
and wish I could go back and follow
different paths, make different choices
But what's done is done, and I must move on
Still, it would be nice to reminisce
about the good times we had, even though they're gone
We sit across from each other
sipping morning tea
both of us silent
staring at the steam
curling up between us
You were sometimes my anchor
keeping me tethered to reality
while my head was in the clouds
But now I'm all grown up
and I've let go of your hand
It's time to let go of my hands now
It's time to open this last box
Now
Open

Rip it and sleep
Flip over and weep
No feeling left
Nerve endings bittersweet
Say nothing
Dried up soul
Make amends
Tie the loose end
Say nothing
Dried up soul
Make amends
Forget the noose end
Come to grips with past selves
In hopes to shed old habits
Can I sleep yet
I was once a slave to my flesh
Peeled it off in hopes of a better life
But all that was left was a bloody mess
That just couldn't be undone
Foolish me, to think that I could be forgiven
For my flesh, ripped off as a sacrifice
All in the name of vanity
But now I see that it was all for naught
And though my skin will never be the same
I know that I am finally free
When I travel time nowhere
I get so lost and scared
I don't know what to do
All I can think about is you
I just need you to know
That I'll be thinking of you always
And no matter how far I go
You'll always be my home

Garry is the kind of artist who delivers both quantity AND quality: working on many projects with a consistently great (and varied) output. Gonemage is probably my favorite, Master of Disgust and Handheld Demise in particular are freaking masterpieces, and some of the most fun and interesting music I've personally heard in recent years. I'm excited for the full release of Astral Corridors, it's likely to land a spot in my top albums of 2023.
