Invocation 06:28
to enter the gate, i need to drip in sacrilege one heart, one mind drifting in unerupted existence menstrual blood power pour it on my altar i bleed without harm, without killing or dying i am older than god and thusly i invite the numinous to enter dream erupt and lava and flow the world's shadow is my own my body is a curtain dividing communal participation tonight the moon cries i feel it more than ever i lick, touch the exposure i am older than god and thusly i invite the numinous to enter dream erupt, lava and flow the world's shadow is my own we are not far

Enamel 04:33

Hologram 06:57
why cant you see we're living in a daydream living in a daydream we're never born we never die we never die was i enamored? was i influenced in the wrong way? i said i can't see the world around in the right way arms length to heaven silence weaves my movement i sent a hologram to say i love you never mistaken this moment is everyday remember everyday remember why cant you see we're living in a daydream living in a daydream we're never born we never die we never die when is the right time? when is the time to suffer in peace? inside a lifetime unfolding symbol speak through the vapor the labyrinth never-ending sever the ego an author with no body when is the right time? when is the time to suffer in peace?

Inner Vision 02:25
you shall not go you shall not budge til i set you up a glass where you may see the inmost part of you (from Shakespeare's Hamlet)

When I Die 02:59
when i die, i wake up i wake up, when i die

Circe 05:19
all submerged in water, all submerged in water but eyes peering as metallic waves i am sieve for this rocky basin i am neighbor of windy sky i am this temple i am familiar like my sister my hunger forever, forever, forever questioning in vain in vain, in vain the ocean tides procure dance and the moon all at once mundane and fantastic mundane and fantastic, fantastic i am this temple i am familiar like my sister my hunger forever, forever, forever questioning forever in vain in vain, in vain i invite material essence it flows until its had enough of me as such a mystic responsibility
7.
Cereal Luv 03:21
i want that surreal love put in my cereal spoon don't uncorner me in a bed full of craters please, please, please sweep me up and swish me uncannily

about

The debut full length 'When I Die' by Torus Eyes materializes their retro-futurist, genre bending sound. R.Solomon and Gwendolyn embrace the fluidity of musical inspiration, empowered by the abstract and technical aspects of songwriting and audio production. When I Die illustrates the duo’s serene and self contained nature of writing, recording, producing and mixing in their personal studio, all as part of their artistic expression. Influenced by genres like Detroit techno and rave scenes, post punk, italo disco and psychedelic dance music, industrial and post industrial, new wave and synthwave, UK downtempo and trip-hop, ambient and meditative music, trance, experimental soundscape and noise elements, this album makes for an intriguing, ear candy filled experience through a pop structure kaleidoscope lens.
