Memory slip

Cold Open

Shadows flicker in the mortuary haze

Steel hands reach in a surgical maze

Under neon pallor, the buzzing begins

Eardrum twitches, can’t tell where I’ve been

Verse 0

Drip in my veins, a chill creeps deep

Air canoe rocking as I struggle for sleep

Alien doctor, syringe in his grin

Skin crawls backward, honey seeps in

Fragmented vision, body peels away

Soul’s on a thread, undeclared prey

Pre-funeral trick, memories invade

Pain climbs the ladder, refusing to fade

Intro

Needle sinks, and gravity flips

Blood circles drain, memory slips

Float above, cold fluorescent tomb

Voices coil around me, humming doom

Verse 1

Black bag parade, I taste the static air

My eardrum folds, sucked into somewhere

Aliens grinning, skin feels split

Soul on the ceiling, staring down at it

Riding the canoe, breathless and slow

Inside the silence, the hive-minds grow

Pain on a loop, colors running mad

Creator’s creation, the honey ride I had

Chorus

Honey ride of the dead

They drain my veins, my spirit bends

My eardrum melts as they fix me up

Now I see it all, waiting in the casket ends

Post-Chorus

Down, down, lowered underground

Slick and sweet, I dissolve in the sound

Verse 2

Trip out wild as the dirt hits the lid

Syrupy pain flooding everything I did

Aliens laughing from the graveyard trees

Figment dead heads nesting in the breeze

Pre-Chorus

Bodies rot, minds awake

Every memory, every ache

Soul’s an orb, rolling round

Aliens whisper, lost then found

Chorus

Honey ride of the dead

They drain my veins, my spirit bends

My eardrum melts as they fix me up

Now I see it all, waiting in the casket ends

Post-Chorus

Down, down, lowered underground

Slick and sweet, I dissolve in the sound

Bridge

Echoes drip down the hollowed dirt path

My soul splits apart, torn in half

Silver probes tracing scars I’ve known

Alien hands pressing marrow to bone

Verse 3

Repeat the death scene, blink and it loops

Worms crawl in, taste the bitter truth

Honey seeps from cavities where I scream

Rotting slow motion in a yellow dream

Creator’s shadow bends over the plot

Alien architects wiring every thought

My orb soul spins, trapped in agony’s web

Knowing everything, forgetting what was said

Chorus

Honey ride of the dead

They drain my veins, my spirit bends

My eardrum melts as they fix me up

Now I see it all, waiting in the casket ends

Post-Chorus

Down, down, lowered underground

Slick and sweet, I dissolve in the sound

Outro

Graveyard silence, my vision blurs

Alien laughter is all I’ve heard

Honey dripping, head in a cloud

Death is forever, can’t escape the shroud

Verse 4

Buried deep, my veins hum with sugar rot

Aliens linger by the nameless plot

Memory rewinds, stuck in static crawl

Pain recycles endlessly, I feel it all

Grave dirt thick with buzzing honey veins

Eardrum dripping, my identity drains

Funeral lights flicker, I see myself split

Insect wings stir, as my orbit is lit

Chorus

Honey ride of the dead

They drain my veins, my spirit bends

My eardrum melts as they fix me up

Now I see it all, waiting in the casket ends

Post-Chorus

Down, down, lowered underground

Slick and sweet, I dissolve in the sound

Outro 2

Alien shadows burn into my mind

Sweet decay stitches every line

Dead head crown, I spiral inside

Honey ride never ends, nowhere to hide
