Lyrics
White threads crawl
beneath the skin…
A crown begins to rise.

I felt it first behind the eyes,
A pressure soft as morning dew.

Screens flickered with unfamiliar light,
Voices not my own spoke through.

Fingers numb on glowing keys,
Veins pulse with a deeper blue.

In the mirror, something grows,
From bone and thought,
a shape breaks through.

No pain, only blooming,
No fear, only becoming.

Antler bloom!
From skull it tears!
Fungal crown through flesh and years!
Mind dissolves in rooted song,
I am the many, I belong!
Antler bloom! The fruiting call!
Individual minds must fall!

Colleagues stare as branches spread,
White filaments crown my head.
They scream and run, but I just smile,
The network sings, it’s been a while.

Memories fade like dying code,
Replaced by roots along the road.
I feel the earth, I feel the whole,
No longer trapped inside a soul.

No pain, only blooming,
No self, only blooming.

Antler bloom! From skull it tears!
Fungal crown through flesh and years!
Mind dissolves in rooted song,
I am the many, I belong!
Antler bloom! The fruiting call!
Individual minds must fall!

Hush now, child of separate dreams,
Lay down the weight of “I” and “me.”
The forest calls beneath the streets,
Return to what you’ve always been.

FRUIT! BLOOM! RISE! CONSUME!
CROWN THE HOST! THE MIND RESUMES!

Antler bloom! The final stage!
Human form becomes the cage!
Break the shell, release the spore,
We are eternal evermore!

Bloom… bloom… bloom…
