1. ABSOLUTE ZERO

Sorrow and regret
Tormented mind swells
One with the darkness
Pain like second skin
Forged by the calling of a parallel life
Where every being is not born to die

The voices in the distance
They call out for me
Yes, they call me by name
As the light drains from my eyes
And my memory dims
Following down the spiral
Still walking the earth
The ghost of every memory
That I have left behind

Like sand, it runs through my fingers
Colder than time
With death's still gaze cast toward me
I am alive
Alive

Now I am pulling myself back out of the grave
In the days I am living, this is not a life
We weren't meant to be saved
I will be the one you see when you die
Burning in your mind
Just like the flame
I may have been breathing
I was never alive
So, remember these words
I will be the one you see when you die

Daylight
Returns
Slowly

I'm losing sight of who I am
In this madness
The candle's been burnt out
For what seems like forever
If there's no end to life or death
In this nightmare
Do we live forever?

And with every last breath in my lungs
There is still hope for us here
In the mouth of madness
As the light drains from my eyes
And as my memory dims
Now I am alive
In dreams of the ocean
Where space and time won't matter
In dreams of the daylight
I am alive

In death's gaze
I am alive

Watch every nightmare turn into a new reality

Mother, will I breathe again?
Mother, will I breathe again?
Mother, will I breathe again?
Mother, is this life all I have?

Mother
And in the end, the end is this life
Just a vision I will forget, Mother?
And in the end, the end is this life
Just a vision I will forget, Mother?
And in the end, the end is this life
Just a vision I will forget, Mother?
And in the end, the end is this life
Just a vision


2. IN PURGATORY

I have seen the end
I am just beginning
This fear that has been growing
Will not become the void in me

Days, like death
Become stagnant
And I begin questioning the very
Things I have come to be
Years wasted on clocks
Chasing the high of the time
Don't you remember
What it meant to me?

I hear a voice within that whispers
"Time is wasting"
It's the same voice within that drags me even further down

I lie awake on ash
Sorrow to remind me of what I had cherished
And in this moment
I realize what I have lost

Everything falls to blackness
The air is thick with smoke
My lungs fill
In desperation I plead
All that I have given
All that I have bled
Is it not enough to live in the end?

Let light in
The darkness calling my name
Will I wake?
Or will this silence become my grave?

I feel the morning light on my face, is it over?

The old days that I had forgotten
Now rush to my head like a pattern
And here I can feel it all
Both end and beginning
Where colors intertwine
And makeshift memories
Pull my spirit home
Life is just a distant dream here
The days I'd waited to pass by
I wish I could relive them all
This time with awareness
That this life is to be taken
Not for granted
But in stride
And the patience that I've lacked
Is only given to us all on borrowed time

The old days that I had forgotten
Life is just a distant dream here

If you take it all away
Flesh, bone, and blood
What is it that you will have to give?

If you take it all away
Flesh and bone and blood
What is it that you will have to give?

If you take it all away
Flesh and bone and blood
What is it that you will have to give?

Life, it seems
Is a momentary gift
We are but a brief light
Flesh and bone and blood
What is it you'll have to give?

And now my thoughts break
And they bend
This is not the end

And now my conscience begins to speak to me
Alone with my regrets
Sinking further in Hell


3. THE INTERIOR WILDERNESS

Sink in the voice of conscience

Days, like death
Become stagnant
And I begin questioning
The very things I have come to be
Years wasted on clocks
Chasing the high of the time, don't you remember?

Sink in the voice of conscience
Sink in the

I've watched your fear growing
And I will watch it fade
I will watch it fade away

Push
Push to be one of us
To be one of us
Push
Push to be one of us
To be one of us

To be one

And here with all life before my eyes
Boundless and limitless
What would I hope to be if not everything?
I've found a place
No one can reach
And there is no return

A feeling, like drowning
Grasps at my very being
Beckoning the cold flame
As darkness overtakes

So, I lay in a cold bed
Carved from stone to rest my head
I'd give it all to pay my dues
It won't be long 'til this night is

Picking through the pure wreckage
To gather my thoughts and find
A pillar of light
Through years of cold lies
Pulling like a vulture
At the silky, sullen threads
Until it all makes sense

Taking back
Voices in my head telling me how
Taking back
Back to the beginning
It's sure if I start now taking back
I'm on the come up, my kingdom is crumbling down
Taking back time is of the essence
It is clear now

So, I lay, lay on a bed I've carved from stone
As I sleep, I feel my hope sink far below
It won't be long 'til this night is through

I feel the morning light on my face
Is it over?
Is it over?

I feel the morning light on my face
Is it over?
Is it over?

I feel the morning light on my face
Is it over?
Is it over?
Is it over?


4. OBLIVION

Time will take us
Time will take us
Time will take us
Time will take us

Nowhere to run
Silence on the horizon
But I had been lost in the sound

I've been wondering where the time has gone
It wasn't ours all along
It wasn't ours all along

Don't look down yet
Float here in oblivion
And if I fall
What will I have to learn when I touch down?

I know that we
Are in the shadow of a fading sun
And it all will circle back again

Let it come, and let it pass
It all will burn
These sentimental things are all lost in their own time
And the days slip away from us

If only we'd known
That life moves along
We'd come back to earth

I know all things
That have begun must also one day face their end
And we all will circle back to dust
Let it all in, fall to the ground and breathe in

Fall to the ground and breathe
Push
Push
To be one of us
To be one of us

Push
Push
To be one of us
To be one of us

Push, push
Dead eyes, black and cold
To be one of us
Left behind and what follows?
To be one of us

Push, push
Dead eyes, black and cold
To be one of us
Left behind and what follows?
To be one of us

Dead eyes, black and cold
Left behind and what follows?

Dead eyes black and cold
Left behind and what follows?


5. I AM THE VOID

I am the void
A spell on my skin
But I couldn't help it

It lives in my dreams
Grind my teeth at night
Aaa-aa-aah
Fears, they take flight
Right in front of me
The words I speak
Are giving them life

A universe inside of me
Still, I can't see
My way into the light

In my head like a void
Lost in the lapse of time
You are the calm
I am the world on fire
I can feel the sunlight
Draining us all
Every day is nothing
But a death to me

Close your eyes
And clear your head
Wake the earth from below
With the blood from your knife
And if you move slowly
One inch at a time
Then you will always
Remember to begin
With the end in mind

In my head like a void
Lost in the lapse of time
You are the calm
I am the world on fire
I can feel the sunlight draining us all every day is nothing
But a death to me

In my head like a void
Lost in the lapse of time
You are the calm
I am the world on fire
I can feel the sunlight draining us all
Every day is nothing
But a death to me

In my head like a void
Lost in the lapse of time
You are the calm
I am the world on fire

In my head like a void
Lost in the lapse of time
Every day is nothing
But a death to me

What would I give?
To feel whole
As all of my fears
Begin to eat away at me


6. DARKEST DAY

Giving in to your fears

Once driven to survive
Now surrounded by death
The clock is an anchor
Time is your debt
And now on your darkest day
I feel the disconnect

You've filled your pit with misery
So, turn the page
Or fade into blackness
Until you break

You've filled your pit with misery
So, turn the page
Or fade into blackness
Until you break free

I cling to the thought of who you were
I speak to them in dreams

So, sinking sun spiral on

Taking back
Voices in your head
Pulling you down
Taking back
You're on the come up
Your kingdom is crumbling now
Taking back
Voices in my head telling me how
Taking back
Pulling you down
Pulling you down

Now I read from eulogies
My crippled heart
Sinks to the sea

With my eyes shut
Now, I see the words
Spiraling out


7. CLARITY IN WAVES

We will face
The dark alone

Fragments of the days I've lived return to me
We will face the dark alone

They came to me like a pattern
They dug into my bones
And remained like a memory of the static
From which I fled
That I cannot control death
That we will face the dark alone

And I know that they say in time
Our fears will fade
Like voices in the wind
Our troubles carry
I'd pay my weight in gold
To turn back the page
What if we never live
To see the day
That we've been waiting?

All of this time I've wasted
Waiting to feel alive again
Like these days are mine for the taking
Like life never will come to an end

All things will end
It all will end

They say it comes in waves
All of the time I've wasted
Dig my grave
Waiting to feel alive


8. THE SINKING SUN

The years come and gone in the blink of an eye
And slowly I drift away into the darkness
The depths of my own mind
Where sorrow and hope collide

The waves come and go
Much faster now than before
Can I brave the tide?
To watch life from the other side

And we sang when we were young

One day death will find
And I will return to dust me
One day death will find
Only then will I accept death

The years come and gone in the blink of an eye
Mechanisms in my mind
Cannot stop counting the time

I feel it slipping from me
We are all fragile vessels
Marching toward the end
Where the years become silhouettes

I feel it slipping from me

What would I leave the world
If I were to die today?

The sun begins to sink now
My light is fading out
All of this life was a test
And I, I do not want to be
Something less than this flesh
I don't want to be
Something less

I'd been working endlessly
Building a sanctuary
When I saw I was lost in a hell
That I had created
And there, I was God
With the worms in the mud
I was God
I was
All of my madness
Eating away at me

A warped reality of my own making
Now I'm exhausted
A crumbling heart where no light shows
The earth swallows me
I beg for my last breath
I beg for any sense of hope
To begin again
To find the meaning
Buried within our flesh
Begin again
To find the meaning
Buried within our flesh
Begin again in our flesh

Flesh
Begin again

Slowly I drift into the depths of infinite darkness
Waves collide faster now than they ever had
Before counting time
As it slowly runs backward
Against the current of this life
I see all the knowledge
I see what I had been searching for

And time will take us
Time will take us all

It seems to come to me now
So clearly in this fading light
The answer to all things both begins
And ends within the I
I've been so concerned with what I do not know
I could not see this life before me
Was all I ever hoped

All I ever hoped
The sun

I feel the sun begin to fade
As I drift into the darkness
And in the distance
I see familiar faces show

And in the background of my thoughts
I can hear that same voice whisper
To count the hours, you're only chasing time
Now
Whisper

So, count the hours
You're only chasing time now

Time
Time
Time

Time will take us all
Time will take us all


9. TIME WILL TAKE US ALL

And it was just like
A dream I had when I was young
The earth birthed a mirror
I opened my eyes and my future appeared

I've been counting the days as they pass
I've been waiting for the world to come to an end
But I haven't bled all that I think I can
And every day it gets easier to live

Time will take us all
To a place where our souls will find peace

Time will take us
And who we were is not who we will always be

All that you are
And all that you know
Flow as one, together
The light guides us home

All that you were
And all that you'll be
You are the light
So set your mind free

Life is but a mystery
And time is fluidity
It's all happening now

Life is but a mystery
And time is fluidity
It's all happening now

Time will take us all
Time will take us all
Time will take us all
Time will take us all
Time will take us all
