Beyond The Sinking
05:16
|
|||
I can see it come from miles away, clear as day
It’s not enough to say you’re wrong
We’re finally waking up
It’s real, it’s tough to shed entanglements
To admit you’ve lost your touch
With the mirror held underwater
You can’t see your breath
Suspended animation
It’s getting hard to pretend
This is so cold, so deep, impersonal
A prerequisite, that we take these things for spite
It’s just the theme,
The burden of a common man
To keep the flame alight
To keep the flame alight
No harmony
No voice beyond the sinking
We’re on our own
On bended knee
Waves of synthetic thinking
we’re on our own
And our cover’s blown
It’s just the theme
It’s just the theme
No harmony
No voice beyond the sinking
No harmony
No voice beyond the sinking
We’re on our own
On bended knee
Waves of synthetic thinking

End With Me
04:17
|

Reconcile, combine
As the moment’s lost its worth
You say everything in time
The words fall from your mouth like a curse
I’m used to hiding in plain sight
You’re the knife that turns the water red
You dissolve me, liquify
So I float where all the others bled
Take me to your depths and ride
(You’re the ghost, the breeze that blends it in)
On waves of cherry oxygen
(You’re the ghost, the breeze that blends it in)
What a gift bestowed, to be
A stranger to a worried mind
To listen and not speak
Just one wave and I’ll be cast aside
You dissolve me, liquify
You dissolve me, liquify
Take me to your depths and ride
(You’re the ghost, the breeze that blends it in)
On waves of cherry oxygen
(You’re the ghost, the breeze that blends it in)
We won’t medicate
Our bodies won’t take the bait
We’re blinded by desire
Plagues of patience, plagues of pain
Plagues of what we used to be
Remembering the truth among lies
Take me to your depths and ride
(You’re the ghost, the breeze that blends it in)
On waves of cherry oxygen
(You’re the ghost, the breeze that blends it in)
We won’t medicate
Our bodies won’t take the bait
(Take me to your depths and ride)
Plagues of patience, plagues of pain
Plagues of what we used to be

We Are If We Dare
04:34
|

We climb mountains of dust
Though we ascend we are never finished
What’s done is done and we’re free
Abandon all for a new beginning
We feel no guilt anymore
It doesn’t seem like it’s worth the effort
Progress or sympathy
It’s been replaced by which evil is lesser
Is there a way to survive
Disintegration of tranquility inside
Inside
You say what you need too slow
I’m here for you if you want it
But you say so slow
I’m gone
It took too long to find the words
I didn’t build this just to watch it all burn down
Watch it all burn down
Now all I see are past versions of me
Just swallow down, it will all get better
You say what you need too slow
I’m here for you if you want it
But you say so slow
I’m gone
You say what you need too slow
I’m here for you if you want it
But you say so slow...
I’m here for you want it
But you say so slow
I’m gone

Do you remember
The taste of betrayal
(Cold and distant)
You never thought things
Could go this wrong
And remember the waste of
The cradle (we held so dear)
I drown in myself
A storm is coming make no doubt
For far too long we’ve lived without
You all stretch so far to reach
The things we couldn’t keep in
how am I supposed to pretend
And we fall
From the hands of mothers
Looking for the other
Now I am sure this is the end
The end
We’ve never been welcome
Our backs turn (on the offer)
The bounty’s become a spoiled feast
So this is the weapon
The fortress (will fall in fear)
I drown in myself
Bow down to your conformity
Is this the way we’ll always be?
You all stretch so far to reach
The things we couldn’t keep in
how am I supposed to pretend
And we fall
From the hands of mothers
Looking for the other
Now I am sure this is the end
The end
Now I’m
I’m sure
This is the end
We’re all stretched so far to reach
The things we cannot keep
We’re all looking for the things
The things we cannot see
Now I’m
I’m sure
This is the end

Gather Your Bones
07:57
|
|||
Drifted so far
Can’t find my way
I know I’m falling behind
I can’t recall
Ask me why I failed you (surely)
It’s just my burden to bear
The need to create
The pleasure in reverse
You know it only gets worse
I need something to feel
I need something to feel like
The place that we were before
We make up things to believe
So we won’t have to feel like
The place that we’re in no more
Moments that blur
Fade in and out
I let my silence erode
As you prefer
Retreating into isolation
Leave me the darkness unknown
I tried to gather my bones and disappear
You know there’s nothing to fear
I need something to feel
I need something to feel like
The place that we were before
We make up things to believe
So we won’t have to feel like
The place that we’re in no more

Shapes against a wall
Serpents in the air
The fleeting comfort fails to satisfy
It’s easy to adore
Convergence in despair
While life is flashing right before our eyes
With our arms alight
Setting fire to all deserving of
Just to feel the opposite of love
We’re so undefined
All blurry sight and distance in between
Wish it was the opposite
Is this meant to amaze
The stale state that we suffer in?
In relation to all that’s been
Understanding the phase
Thoughts failing in sensory
Discordance and memory
We’re content with our innocence
We’re so content with our innocence
With our arms alight
Setting fire to all deserving of
Just to feel the opposite of love
We’re so undefined
All blurry sight and distance in between
Wish it was the opposite
With our arms alight
Setting fire to all deserving of
Just to feel the opposite of love
Just to feel the opposite of love
We’re so undefined
All blurry sight and distance in between
Just to feel the opposite of love
Just to feel the opposite of love
Just to feel the opposite of love

Twisting of the Points
05:24
|

The slow motion sick that reminds me of
Those years I gave away
All pale sweat and shockwaves that undermine
The peaceful part I’d play
My body is a ship of pain
There’s nothing here that feels safe
I hope you are as tired as me
I see the valleys in your face
Some days I marvel at your will
But when the time is right, we’ll leave this place
Imagine what we could destroy
If only given time
No boundaries, no holding back
No fault in the design
You left a mark on me that never fades
(We’re losing everything)
We’ll die as one, we are thick as thieves)
(We’re losing everything)
You left a mark on me that never fades
(We’re losing......)
You left a mark on me that never fades
(We’re losing everything)
We’ll die as one, we are thick as thieves)
(We’re losing everything)

INEXEROL
05:14
|

We sway and gather
So steady now
Tender moments traded for the blur of neutral light
The signal of another beckons me
Like staring down the sun without a loss of sight
Held so mechanically
You’re stabbing into me
You’re stabbing into me
We fall asleep with misfortune
It sticks into you like steel
Exist among the distortion
You make the dream become real
Become real
Less of an image in my mind
Without the digital effect
Your face as white as stone on graves
Control the rise and fall of beating in my chest
We fall asleep with misfortune
It sticks into you like steel
Exist among the distortion
You make the dream become real
We fall asleep with misfortune
It sticks into you like steel
Exist among the distortion
You make the dream become real

Low Choices
05:20
|

There’s a war inside my head, I know
The assassins start on my command
I can feel it like the start of a fire
Intuition glowing amber and red
The incessant spiral never ends
Turning temporary light into dark
The instant definition transcends,
It’s gone like the wind with a spark
Haunting, Ungrateful
Hesitate and falter
It’s human, somatic
Like screaming through the static
I only want you to know
This one thing
There’s no one here to wish you farewell
So save all your tears
And wave goodbye
They only know the worst of you
The breath on the glass
Crystallize and cascade
Like powder from the wings of a moth
Expendable and betrayed
Pathetic and vanished
I’ll never understand it
It would be much better
To end this altogether
I only want you to know
This one thing
There’s no one here to wish you farewell
So save all your tears
And wave goodbye
They only know the worst of you
If I believe you’ll stay
It doesn’t change anything
Disguised by the damage
Discord, we can’t overcome our words
I’ve fathered this famine
I only want you to know
This one thing
There’s no one here to wish you farewell
So save all your tears
And wave goodbye
Wave goodbye

Phantom Pain
05:14
|

Underneath we fall
Tempted by our dreams
Alone in a sea
Weather me in gold
Wash the world away
Every single day
I know you want me to say
I’m at my end
Draw all the lines
Take in the night
And wash it all away
I feel less like me
Every light we pass
Close your eyes to see
The empathy you know
Your voice won’t wait
And there’s a place inside your head
And there’s a place inside your head
I’m at my end
Draw all the lines
Take in the night
And wash it all away
Just come back down to me
Just come back down
And there’s a place
A phantom pain
A broken head
Beyond your repair
I’m at my end
Draw all the lines
Take in the night
And wash it all away
Just come back down to me
Just come back and wash it all away

The Symptoms of Dying
03:47
|

I know I need
A favor or some sympathy
It comes in threes
And I’m cleaning up what you bleed
Every day you’re someone else
Watched you take my hand
Just to burn me out again
When we stray we are immortal
It’s only when we come back down
We find all hope
We find all hope is gone
Pulled by your strings
My mouth is bound
Just sit quietly
But I’ve already seen things
And I come unwound
As my lungs seethe
When we stray we are immortal
It’s only when we come back down
We find all hope
We find all hope is gone
When we stray we are immortal
It’s only when we come back down
We find all hope
We find all hope is gone

The nonexistence, the great mistake
I am the flood that topples towers
Leaving a void within my wake
You got exactly what you wanted
Spin me around
leave me on my own
Ever condemned, ever the hunted
Where should I go if nowhere is my home
Awash in liquid black
My mother’s fears in human form
I’m not destined for anything
I’m not destined for anyone
Destined for anyone
You got exactly what you wanted
Spin me around
leave me on my own
Ever condemned, ever the hunted
Where should I go if nowhere is my home
It always plays out
Exactly how I thought
You got exactly what you wanted
Spin me around and leave me on my own
Ever condemned, ever the hunted
Where should I go if nowhere is my home

The Dream Disease
05:44
|

Let’s sleep this off another year
I know you’ve waited but don’t disappear
We’re almost there but can’t disarm
We watch the dream disease
The feeling of what was and what will never be
Did you forget the day?
The one that left all to fall
And it goes on and on to the disarray
Down on your knees
You slow into a crawl
And it goes on and on to the disarray
Shallow inside
Hollow outside
Ascension star, we rise above
Can you explain what we’re so frightened of?
The primitive pain we’ll never feel
All those foundation cracks where we refused to kneel
Just let it fade and down look back
At the withered bloom that you failed to grasp
Did you forget the day
The one that left all to fall
And it goes on and on to the disarray
Down on your knees
You slow into a crawl
And it goes on and on to the disarray
A wayward stare
A parting glance
We love the silent circumstance
Did you forget the day
The one that left all to fall
And it goes on and on to the disarray
Down on your knees
You slow into a crawl
And it goes on and on to the disarray
You slow into a crawl
And it goes on and on to the disarray
Shallow inside
Hollow outside
Shallow inside
Hollow outside

Bleak Machine

So what’s the worth
In what you’ve found
We’re right beneath your feet
We hover just above the ground
A bleak machine
Churning bones to sand
Just go about your business
under command
Ill will and bitterness
What makes your garden grow
Said yes so many times
we should’ve just said no
We’re all kings in our minds
But that doesn’t make it true
You can’t build your empire
On ashes of the few
Here inside
Fall between the lines of
All of what we tried so hard to be
(Chorus)
I create the sound
And I drowned you out
Would you do the same
Would you do the same to me
We find temptation in the killing dream
Survive the temper
Changing to extremes
With skin exposed just tell me
Who’s to blame
We’ve lost all love but
everything’s the same
I create the sound
And I drowned you out
Would you do the same
Would you do the same to me
I create the sound
And I drowned you out
Would you do the same?

At Nothing
03:05
|

Sorry for the tease is all you ever say
You turn me into mold
Just to eat away
Catch me staring out at nothing
but nothing is something and something is somewhere
and somewhere isn't here
Whatever we say
You're mad at life forever
Whatever we say
I'm just your dead surveyor
While you lie asleep I worship the decay
The strings that hold me up
are tired thin and frayed
And I'm tired of feeling sick
but it runs in the blood
and it's all over you and it's all over me
Whatever we say
You're mad at life forever
Whatever we say
I'm just your dead surveyor
Whatever we say
You're mad at life forever

Invisible Shine

When you’re alone
Speak softly to the darkness
You’re like the painted summer sky
Illuminate
You starve in my catharsis
And I can’t help but sympathize
Maybe there is something more
I can picture us in different forms
Bored by the sound
Your voice and mine collided
But I’m like water through your hands
So we build that wall
And the bones behind ignited
It’s everything we have
It’s everything just to withstand
I feel your touch in every wave
The crush of air that your create
Maybe there is something more
I can picture us in different forms
Oh what a wonderful pain
The stress and sting of the blameless torture
To be consumed by the flame, we are
The fruit that falls in the barren orchard
You are destroyer
Leave me unwell
Grasp with uncertain hands
Embrace the infidel
You are destroyer
Leave me unwell
Grasp with uncertain hands
Embrace the infidel
Oh what a wonderful pain
Oh what a wonderful pain
The stress and sting of the blameless torture
To be consumed by the flame, we are
The fruit that falls in the barren orchard
Oh what a wonderful pain
The stress and sting of the blameless torture
To be consumed by the flame, we are
The fruit that falls in the barren orchard

Below the swine
The worm, the dust
A place of rest
It gains the worst of us
Pulled from the ground
Magnetic
It’s like a weight we lift
Sound off the cadence
And don’t say a word
Stay awake
We’re not sleeping in the dirt
We fall away
I’ll meet you on the other side
So disconnect
And sing our song of discontent
I’ll meet you on the other side
So stay...
A damaged smile
The slight decay
It’s so familiar
Alkaline in every trace
The words that once kept us here
There’s always space to fill
And we’re the leech that drains the blood
(Without you)
Stay awake
We’re not sleeping in the dirt
We fall away
I’ll meet you on the other side
So disconnect
And sing our song of discontent
I’ll meet you on the other side so stay
Stay awake for me
Stay awake for me
Stay awake
We’re not sleeping in the dirt
We fall away
I’ll meet you on the other side
So disconnect
And sing our song of discontent
I’ll meet you on the other side so stay
