Sole Heir 04:57
Come out into the day, lost one: Writhing in sands; Sweeping the shoreline; Sweeping at daybreak. The fragmented mind, Painless mind. Unintegrated one, Indefinite one Sole heir to the mind's decay, Sole heir to the world and its riddles, Sole heir to unending expanses That are dissolution. Endlessly in mourning for memories of the sun. Endlessly in mourning for memories of a sister: She fell into a deep sleep; Never to rise again. And I swim naked in darkness, On the journey to become. Yeah, I swim naked in darkness On the journey to become. Sole heir to the mind's decay, Sole heir to the world and its riddles, Sole heir to unending expanses That are dissolution. Once more into the fray. Once more into the nightmare: Terrible and brilliant; Lush with possibility. Wise enough to know We suffer for nothing. Grateful for the silent hour That we will one day waste. Sole heir to the mind's decay, Sole heir to the world and its riddles, Sole heir to unending expanses That are dissolution.

I Wander 00:28
I wander the surface of the earth I wander the ocean's shore I search for a place to settle down But find nowhere to settle down I confront the open expanse I watch as the day grows dim I search for a place to settle down But find nowhere to settle down

Relativity 05:02
A black hole is like death. For the free-falling one/the dying one, There is no contradiction; The end comes at a definite time. Ooo Only for those outside/those who remain, There is a perception of eternity. He seems to linger and never quite fade, He remains with us until we go down. Ooo Ahh

We Were 01:34
We were shipwrecked together, We awoke upon the shore together and we looked upon the dawn together. Our time was like a pleasant dream and we found ourselves in the warm aura of its midst As it unfurled itself over the sky. Now and then your voice calls out to me, reminding me of how I yearn for the eternal recurrence of all things. As I wander aimlessly in this: the world of rain.

Unyoke my knot-wrought shoulders That I may reach one fathom's length. Oh, to be thus freed from wont's old toiling In the dying afternoon. In the after- the afternoon, In the after- the afternoon, In the dying afternoon. Ooo Bed my sigh-heavy, sorrow-laden head With this gloaming silent moon. Oh, for but an hour so In the velvet afternoon. In the after- the afternoon, In the after- the afternoon, In the velvet afternoon. Ooo My day was slowly drifting by There's not a soul to hear me sigh Let me on to nowhere ride Let me on this fleeting life Take me to the rooms of my reverie There's no-one here to comfort me Nobody waiting on us there Nobody waiting anywhere Oh, no Ooo Where are we, oh where are we? Oh, this august light that never may shine again Oh, could I stay? But yet we may, In the lucid afternoon In the after- the afternoon, In the after- the afternoon, In the lucid afternoon. Ooo

Aliveness 04:47

Drift with me into the calm goodnight, Remind me of forgotten mysteries, Don't wait now coolly washing away My memories of how I spent the day.

about

Sosruko New Plymouth, New Zealand

The strange circumstances around Sosruko's birth fixed his lot in this world as an outsider, fated to wander from place to place, often a fool, often a stranger, knowing many guises and playing many games.
