1. ENCIRCLED

I see myself in the bodies being carried out
I see myself in you when safety falls again
It broke something essential like nothing ever would
A promise to give, a promise to hold

This is not what I want you to hear right now
But our time is running out
So far removed from what you need to know
Words too hard to handle
Our time is running out
We're by demons encircled

Eroding away at reason
The bile of insecurity
This fear devoid of nuance
And fact resistant belief
I hold together what I can
I hold together what I know

This is not what I want you to hear right now
But our time is running out
So far removed from what you need to know
Words too hard to handle
Our time is running out
We’re by demons encircled

These are just symptoms of experience and life
I wish I could postpone

It eats at our logic like nothing ever should
It claws at our humanity so nothing can remain
This is the currency of faith and we are coming up short
The reality of failure, now upon us

This is not what I want you to hear right now
But our time is running out
So far removed from what you need to know
Words too hard to handle
Our time is running out
We’re by demons encircled


2. ATOMA

I will not play along with things I find unfair
I will not mount defenses against unjust attacks
This land was never given we built this on our own
Insanity dependent whether we rise or fall

Whether we rise or we fall
One for the night, one for the uncontrolled

Hold your feet to the ground
To the end of our time for the rest of our lives
Hold your head on high
To the end of our time for the rest of our lives

Secretly I hope that nothing ever comes of this
And you are not alone wanting to come back
To a place where it won’t matter, just what side you’re on
It’s when our lines are graded, what’s underneath will overcome

What’s underneath will overcome
One for the night, one for the uncontrolled

Hold your feet to the ground
To the end of our time for the rest of our lives
Hold your head on high
To the end of our time for the rest of our lives

Now it’s time to stand up tall
One for the night, one for the uncontrolled

Hold your feet to the ground
To the end of our time for the rest of our lives
Hold your head on high
To the end of our time for the rest of our lives


3. FORWARD MOMENTUM

We worry about echoes
While we being held back by the speed of light

This is the time of no regret
In a forward momentum race
We leave in our wake
What is broken, forgotten and gone

I squint my eyes
As if to make my sight extend a little further

This is the time of no regret
In a forward momentum race
We leave in our wake
What is broken and forgotten

The dream is nothing
Yet it drives us to the end
These words unforce our hand
Hold on, hold on

In fear of true deception
Our lives are being brought back, brought back down

This is the time of no regret
In a forward momentum race
We leave in our wake
What is broken and forgotten

4. NEUTRALITY

Much like the tension built between force and will
Stray voltage wanders from neutral to earth
Lest we forget to forgive the signals get crossed
These two grounded objects on the opposite side of

Right or wrong where empathy was once
Is not the end - this is the reasoning

I call you out so take it once and for all
The weight of the world on you
I call you out to claim neutrality

We failed our own reality on reality's terms
The less we know the more we forge
What suits our single-minded goals

It all comes down to this
A reverse polarity
In opposites we see what unity must be
Forever taking down the man-made walls of strife
Forever taking them down

I call you out so take it once and for all
The weight of the world on you
I call you out to be accountable today, tomorrow

I call you out

There's nothing like the friction sound
The slow burn of prolonged frustration
Wearing down the jagged edges
To fit within the margins
The fires spread throughout the night

It must now go down to where it can begin
Inside and out I call you
I call you out so take it once and for all
The weight of the world on you
I call you out to claim neutrality

I call you out to be accountable today, tomorrow


5. FORCE OF HAND

This is not a failure, this is not an end
These are just symptoms of a trajectory descent
Further down the line you hide from the memories of unresolve
The struggle is lost

All this time of knowing
Letting piece by piece slip away
'Cause when they're all against you
You fail

Don't you force my hand
Don't you force me
Don’t you force my hand

When the silence has spoken in his imminent storm
Taken to the nth degree where failure forms

Spiraling deception
Left the mindless drifting away
'Cause when they're out to get you
You fail

Don’t you force my hand
Don’t you force me
Don’t you force my hand

All this time ends in nothing
These walls of doubt built into our minds
All this time signifying something
A victim without circumstance

All this time of knowing
Letting piece by piece slip away
'Cause when they're all against you
You fail

Don’t you force my hand
Don’t you force me
Don’t you force my hand


6. FAITHLESS BY DEFAULT

To ends unknown by means unworthy
To answer wishes, long dead and gone
Old empty promises, a just reward for the blind
Belief makes work for idle minds, we lost our way
We lost our way

The only dream that matters is the one you wake up from

Go... onward to the singularity
Whatever they say, whatever they do just go
Turn on this unentity
Whatever they say, whatever they do just go
We are faithless by default
We are faithless by default

I call for a world where we are nothing
More than the sum of what we know
Are we to be held hostage
By our intolerance for the intolerant
Then we've lost our way
We’ve lost our way

To hope is to surrender in this series of defeats

Go... onward to the singularity
Whatever they say, whatever they do just go
Turn on this unentity
Whatever they say, whatever they do just go
We are faithless by default
We are faithless by default

We’ve lost our way
A pain far too familiar
Denounce your savage self

Go... onward to the singularity
Whatever they say, whatever they do just go
Turn on this unentity
Whatever they say, whatever they do just go
We are faithless by default
We are faithless by default
Faithless... by default


7. THE PITILESS

Right now!
Right here!
We stand alone!

Against pitiless indifference
We stand alone!

Forever confounded by the burning margins
To get without context when into denial
Give in to ignorance when the world responds in kind
Put an end to the search and nullify the sense of life

Alone in silence!
Yes I am frightened and so are you
Against pitiless indifference
We stand alone!

Against the ever coming night!

So we step back to reveal a new perspective
When the allure of our gift is worn off
Not the least be curious when giants steps away
No going back, our time is running out

Alone in silence!
Yes I am frightened and so are you
Against pitiless indifference
We stand alone!

Must we resort to the end of our inquiry
For this to make sense? This to make sense!

Right here!
Right now!
We stand alone!

Give up or recount them, the days of your life
The truth was of essence when time was alive
There is no incentive to give in to the absurd
Reality and comfort, live forever to oppose

Forever opposed!

Alone in silence!
Yes I am frightened and so are you
Against pitiless indifference
We stand alone!


8. OUR PROOF OF LIFE

At a certain point it happens
Life becomes too real
And nothing can hold back what is about to be

I don't know how close we need to get
To blind out the surroundings and focus on the real

I know you're gone
But this reality is crashing down on me
Crashing down to defeat all purpose
I know you're gone
I'm just not ready, I'm just not done
I am ever in resistant disbelief

When raw emotion gets in
The way of our thoughts and words
We pass so far beyond our breaking point

I don't know how far we need to be
From all that we don't want to see to regain perspective

I know you’re gone
But this reality is crashing down on me
Crashing down to defeat all purpose
I know you’re gone
I’m just not ready, I’m just not done
I am ever in resistant disbelief

I know, yet I fail to find purpose and form
I know, but the truth just makes it harder

I know you’re gone
But this reality is crashing down on me
Crashing down to defeat all purpose
I know you’re gone
I’m just not ready, I’m just not done
I am ever in resistant disbelief


9. CLEARING SKIES

Our backs can never carry these atrocities around
So we focus on what's safely within reach to market our concerns
Inside this time and place, there is nothing more you can be to me
Bring out your fear, bring out your death, bring out your pain

For now we lie, we lie to ourselves to live
Sorrow will find you

You're the only one who knows things I never say
And nothing can be done 'til skies are clear again
These are things we never talk about
So hear me out this time
I know one day this sorrow will find you

Let your heroes burn their crowns, you're better than this I know
This world can change the best of us
Sometimes for the worst
Sometimes for the ones we try to hold
The ones we hold on to
Bring out your fear, bring out your death

For now we lie, we lie to ourselves to live
Sorrow will find you

You’re the only one who knows things I never say
And nothing can be done ‘til skies are clear again
These are things we never talk about
So hear me out this time
I know one day this sorrow will find you


10. WHEN THE WORLD SCREAMS

Let the weakness set in this world I know
Days cannot hold me, I blur in between
Never fully engaged, the mind races between words
As far as I can get, away from it all

When indecision ends, can life begin again?

I am silence when the world screams out
I am escape when you reach out to me
I am panic, I am fear behind these walls that protect me
I am failure and resistance
I am lost where I belong
I am silence when the world screams

My insecurity extends to others talking about themselves
Fed with this poison of self-righteous false confidence
It's in their eyes, it's in our lives

Set to the tune of darkness, this is one to hold
I cannot stop insanity from chasing down my thoughts
Linger in the mind for what now seems indefinite time
My mind is holding, is holding me down

When indecision ends, can life begin again?

I am silence when the world screams out
I am escape when you reach out to me
I am panic, I am fear behind these walls that protect me
I am failure and resistance
I am lost where I belong
I am silence when the world screams


11. MERCILESS FATE

What if this image was taken
In an instant erased from the world?
What if the truth is too far
And you reality can't cope with the distance?
In the abstract a mind never challenged
Is the bearer of merciless fate?

All you can feel is the loss, the loss of who you are
By force or by fire, by force or by flame
All you will know is the void, the void of emptiness
By force or the flame 'til reason prevails

When the doubt starts to creep in your mind
And subverts the true cause of your ways
You must remain a witness of merciless fate

All you can feel is the loss, the loss of who you are
By force or by fire, by force or by flame
All you will know is the void, the void of emptiness
By force or the flame

All that you see is a darkness
From the outside looking in
All that you see is a darkness
From the outside looking in
All you can sense is surface tension
From a distance grasping at straws

From a distance grasping at straws

All you can feel is the loss, the loss of who you are
It's not about you, it's not about you
All you will know is the void, the void of emptiness
By force of the flame, this merciless fate


12. CAVES AND EMBERS

Despite what is out there burning
Our faces remain intact
We hear the screaming of the voiceless
Yet we are numb to the pain of others
We filter out the light
It never penetrates our blinding screens
We can take a stand

But in the end it all means nothing
We rage out but we are wasting away

From the roots below
To the boundless stars above
We are nothing at all

What separates us from the others?
A difference in choices made
We take an insignificant stance
What would we do in an opinion vacuum
When left unaccountable?
So here we are far from the world
Just wasting away

Doing nothing, being nothing
We are the favored design
And we're wasting away

From the caves and embers
To the heart of the beyond
We are nothing at all

Here we are doing nothing
Being nothing
We are wasting away

From the roots below
To the boundless stars above
We are nothing at all
Wasting away...
