Lyrics


1. SNOWBLOOD

Blood starved machine in a feeding frenzy
Don't look now, but the floor is collapsing
No escape, the plummet is everlasting
Sound awake in the bed I've made
Pull out the pin, sanity is a grenade

Dead and sound awake
You could lose yourself in the absence of loss
Reset and wander far away
Dead and sound awake
Ambitions thrown away
Spirits washed away
You should know
Nothing lasts forever

Following footprints in circles, going snowblind
Exits overgrown inside the maze of my mind
Crawling out of the crypt to bleed the living dry
In this fantasy, the villains win, the heroes die
Slow diving to despair
Fuck it, I'm done
This is a waking nightmare

Blood starved machine in a feeding frenzy

Dead and sound awake
You could lose yourself in the absence of loss
Reset and wander far away
Dead and sound awake
Ambitions thrown away
Spirits washed away
You should know
Nothing lasts forever

Black moon rising
Glimpse of madness
Blossom black rose
Withered, abandoned
Sorrowed, sleepless, alone

Sleepless nights, hearing voices
Faint whispers expand like disease
The dead are not dreaming
Can't you hear them screaming?
Oh!

This is a waking nightmare
Crawling out of the crypt to bleed the living dry
In this fantasy, the villains win, the heroes die
Slow diving to despair
Fuck it, I'm done
This is a waking nightmare


2. GUNGRAVE

I'm trapped inside this room
Witnessing your degradation
A soul lost in limbo
This house is your incarceration

I've heard your voice at night haunt these halls
Feet on the stairs, the echoes of your tears
I've felt nothing since the day you left
It's been like this for years and years

Modern mind, divisive voices redefine (Your heart)
Realign what's broken
Every word, misguided by thoughts left confined (Confined)
You could leave it all behind

Crawled into a place in my head
The only space where I could feel safe and sound
All that you've lived for comes spiraling down

Catatonic, emaciated
All this pain that you have created
Battered heart, broken soul
With no other place to go

Modern mind, divisive voices redefine (Your heart)
Realign what's broken
Every word, misguided by thoughts left confined (Confined)
You could leave it all behind

Modern mind, divisive voices redefine (Your heart)
You could leave it all behind
The small hours loud inside
The modern mind, leeching on the lonely heart

Modernity seems to amplify
The boundaries of your heart
You try going back when you mean to restart
And the foundation falls apart

The foundation falls apart
On and on and on
Spiraling downward

Spiral down (Spiral down)
Spiral down
Oh

Reset the pattern doomed to repeat
A perpetual cycle, on and on and on

Catatonic, emaciated
All this pain that you have created


3. DIVISIONARY

Bodies in sway to melody absent of rhythm
An offering to our only begotten engineer
Broken contact with the eye within the prism
Erase...
Black mirror scripture imparts
In a world as foreign to us as our own hearts
Technology is God, and God speaks, humanity is secondary to me

Hold me down
I'm cancerous and I'm spreading out
We will drown beneath the vices we disavow
Small black screens are your only God now

Creature writhing within a dreaming system
He oscillate, as the science tries to manifest resolution to man's every schism
Erase...
Distraction is clandestine, but we all have the passcode
Identities wander as autonomous shadows
The concept animates in reflective visage
Man creates God in his own image

Hold me down, I'm cancerous and I'm spreading out
We will drown beneath the vices we disavow
Small black screens are your only God now

Lost and alone in a space void of color
I'm here, breathing salt, ocean grave, going under (All we are is lost)
Connected and polarized
Division is catalyzed
Pseudo selves we fantasize
Unity is bastardized
Lost and alone in a space void of color
I'm here, breathing salt, ocean grave, going under
All we are is lost


4. HOUSE OF GLASS

My mind's a leech, and I feel so weak
My sleep was deep, and I did not dream
There is a presence here, breathing life into our fears
Russian roulette, the cylinder is full
No gods to interfere

Requiem
This will destroy you before you mourn the passing dream
Requiem
This night won't conclude
House of glass crashes down around you

Spread of self violence
Complicit in silence
Desire's subsidence
Survive by defiance against defeat
Burn it down
Sweep of a nation misguided by a righteous hand
Distorted divine
Collective suicide

Turbines aflame, like monolithic candles incandescent
In a midnight aura, convulsing bodies in a ritual
My sleep was deep, and I did not dream
Burn it down. Burn it down.
Pitch black mass
House of glass

Requiem
This will destroy you before you mourn the passing dream
Requiem
This night won't conclude
House of glass crashes down around you

Battered
Battered and scarred, post-fundamentalist humiliation
Scattered
Scattered and starved, post-indoctrination
Pitch black mass
House of glass

Burn, burn, burn it
Burn, burn, burn it down
Burn, burn, burn it down
This will destroy you

Burn it down
Burn it to the fucking ground
(My sleep was deep, and I did not dream)


5. SHADOW AUTONOMOUS

Spit out the blood
Freeze to the bone when the lonesome mind is whispering
Decide it's time to settle in, or begin again
Fading in and out again
Places I find healing in
An ocean's length apart from where I stand

Glimpse of light comes shining through this waking dream
Glimpse of light comes shining through
Sleep cycle synced into phase

Rattles your coffin when intrusive thoughts are creeping in
Surrogate a home over and over again
We will go on fading in and out again
Sense of loss that you've been feeling
We will go on fading in and out again
Sense of loss that you've been feeling

Break free

Glimpse of light comes shining through
This waking dream
Glimpse of light comes shining through
Sleep cycle synced into phase

A friend, a foe, equally familiar
Kept close, unified inside the mirror
Spit out the blood
Spitting out the blood inside my mouth
The pain stings, but it brings relief
That I can still feel anything at all
Spaces I used to find peace, tearing me apart

Glimpse of light comes shining through this waking dream
Complacencies that we will never seek to replace

Spitting out the blood inside my mouth
The pain stings but it brings relief
That I can still feel anything at all


6. ELECTRIC TWILIGHT

Spirit's intervention
Senses come alive
Thoughts and awareness collide
Overwhelmed
Let go

Sensations pulse like a tidal wave
Buried underneath
The breathing earth as a goddess
Tethers unperceived
Invoked transcendentalist
Highs on which you grow reliant

Windwalker in stride

Cover all the mirrors
Just shy of the edge
Catalyzed transcendence
Ego approaching death

Palm lines tracing black ink Rorschach
Manifesting a psychedelic flashback
Fragile mind tripping at the base
Pondering an Aokigahara Sayonara
Drowning in a Black Sea of trees

Sensations pulse like a tidal wave
Buried underneath
The breathing earth as a goddess
Tethers unperceived
Invoked transcendentalist
Highs on which you grow reliant

Technicolored clouds alive in the twilight
Storm pulse spider webs dance in archaic light

Rubymeat bass beat, beat to electric twilight
Rubymeat bass beat, beat to electric twilight
Senses come alive

Sensations pulse like a tidal wave
Buried underneath
The breathing earth as a goddess
Tethers unperceived
Invoked transcendentalist
Life flows through inanimate
Lies of which you learn defiance
Highs on which you grow reliant

Windwalker in stride
Just a ripple in the universal soundwave

Technicolored clouds alive in the twilight
Storm pulse spider webs dance in archaic light


7. SCORPION HYMN

Cold world, make my stomach turn
Fire burns eternal
Endless war
Smoke clearing out wolves in a paper house
We cut the wicked tongue
We tie the noose you've hung
We see the boundless harm
Petrified hands
Broken hearts

(Treading water)
(Scorpion on my back)
(Onset of paralysis)

I stand transfixed upon my own reflection
Unacquainted with the one that stands before me
Assembled with such careful calculation
Are you the man that you claim to be?
A dream once hopeful, now a conduit of self-hatred
Left in a timeworn tomb of destinations once held sacred

The shifting serpent, slithering in eternal shadow
We cut the wicked tongue
We tie the noose you've hung
We see the boundless harm
Petrified hands
Broken hearts
Make my stomach turn
You endorsed the hurt
Now you must live with the shame


8. LUNAR HALO

Lunar luminesce demystify
Solstice coalesce intensify
Exoskeleton of heaven
A ghost in the machine
Relinquished minds in ethereality

Paint you a galaxy in that nocturnal canvas
Arcane nebula where we go to vanish
Illuminated glow of sleepless moonbow
Particles of ice in technicolored halo

Close your eyes
Let gravity retract
Tandem divers falling toward the ether
Hand in hand
Fingertips in palms
Tracing the lines like constellations

Lunar luminesce demystify
Solstice coalesce intensify
Exoskeleton of heaven
A ghost in the machine
Relinquished minds in ethereality

As expansive as our journey is
Home is so small, the further we fall
Tandem divers falling toward the ether
Hand in hand
Fingertips in palms
Tracing the lines like constellations

(Bodies circle a lunar halo)
(Bodies circle a lunar halo)
Close your eyes, hand in hand (Bodies circle a lunar halo)
We dance along the edge (Bodies circle a lunar halo)

Bodies circle a lunar halo

Lunar luminesce demystify
Solstice coalesce intensify
Exoskeleton of heaven
A ghost in the machine
Relinquished minds in ethereality

Can you feel it? Oh

The brightest world we find
May be the one we left behind
Although there is so much dark
We navigate by the light of the stars
Our grip may slip
And we may drift apart
But if I screamed loud enough
I am certain that you would feel a ripple


9. VANISH CANVAS

Your star burns and dies out a thousand times over
But still remains a source of light to guide you home
In flight or in freefall, glide along the evergreen
Motes of dust resembling constellations

Every step directed with purpose
Unwearied in your desire to seek
The others seeking virtue to follow
Will track the living imprint of your feet

Waking into the moment
From a fever dream
Two steps behind, observing
Compulsive thoughts in a conscious stream

Let this moment break your heart
Something greater to impart
Anxieties that you try to pacify
Will keep you going under
Follow me to the sound
Conscious soul to be found

Anchors cast in the disarray
Drift away, drift away, unafraid of what awaits

Endless edge of an endless horizon
Ships passing like ghosts over graves
Set yourself upon the precipice of the earth
Feeling through everything

Let this moment break your heart
Something greater to impart
Anxieties that you try to pacify
Will keep you going under
Let this moment break your heart
Something greater to impart
Anxieties that you try to pacify
Will keep you going under
Follow me to the sound
Conscious soul to be found

Compulsive thoughts in a conscious stream

The moment hits you like a cannon blast
When you wake into being, unidentified with your past
The moment hits you like a cannon blast

Love you found in the empty space
Slipped away, slipped away in the fade
In flight or in freefall, glide along the evergreen
Motes of dust resembling constellations
Constellations

We are waking up out of this coma
We are waking up out of this coma


10. EIDOLON

Lost within the dream
Wake up

Last rites spoken in pantomime
The watcher stands unwavering
Dictating actions that follow at his will
All the while bound to his throne
Every moment kneels at his feet
Steadfast, unfluctuating
There is no hesitation
And if you ask, I will follow

With your hands, place grace upon me
So I may not be forgotten
Forging pages of hopes and dreams
For the story I have written
This won't dissipate uneasiness
But grant me strength in times of sorrow

This time I've wasted carelessly
Stood by and watched it sink
These walls closing in on me
All the while I sulk and weep
The face of the watcher looks away
This weight of disappointment is crushing
No second glance passed on me
Every moment I've wasted
Chasing infatuations already fading
So I plead, remember my name

With your hands, place grace upon me
So I may not be forgotten
Forging pages of hopes and dreams
For the story I have written
The watcher's pendulum swings (It swings)
In the wake of everlasting
Final breaths intonate and sing (They sing)
Departing swift in a moment's passing
This won't dissipate uneasiness
But grant me strength in times of sorrow

Lost within the dream
Wake up
Lost within the dream


11. REMNANT

Shattered and torn I've crashed and burned
But I'll rise from my knees to break through

Show me a sign you disguise
This comfort provided with hollow words
This wicked design bastardized
My feelings to improve and overcome

Boundaries created to shield me from pain
I'll try and let you in to fix what's broken
Searching for answers, not knowing where to begin
To find the source of the fractures from within

Unknown destinies, you speculate
Hesitation, you generate

Walls are coming down
I can't feel the same
Feet upon the ground
Transcending the shame alone

Terrified of showing signs of weakness
I've put my mind through the darkest of nights
Lacerate feelings of hopeful escape
I black out the sun to hinder my sight
Oh

Decay
Evaporate
Left to rot alone

Unknown destinies, you speculate
Hesitation, you generate

Walls are coming down
I can't feel the same
Feet upon the ground
Transcending the shame alone

Heal your mind through tethered
Hearts that thrive unclaimed
Feet upon the ground
Transcending the shame alone

I know you had the best intentions
I hope you're free from the dissension
Repair this cracked foundation
Reconstruct me without all the pieces

Only through shame
Will I awaken the truth
Locked inside my chest
The only way
I'll rise from the ashes
Is setting fire to my own nest

Walls are coming down
I can't feel the same
Walls are coming down
I can't feel the same


12. MEMORY FICTION

We were reaching out towards the next phase of ourselves
Autonomous from what connected us
I couldn't face the shame
This won't be the last time that I find
I couldn't place the blame
Lessons that I find
In love that we left behind

Palm against palm, numbed by polarity
Revelations in love and in the space of its scarcity
On the day I decided to leave
Felt like an impostor in someone else's destiny (Destiny)
Now I feel free
In love that we left behind

Our origins grow hazy, who am I kidding
I can't recall what I felt in the beginning
My life is my story is my jurisdiction
And I'm allowed to grieve you in my memory fiction, memory fiction

Love that we left behind
Love that we left behind
Love that we left behind

I couldn't face the shame
This won't be the last time that I find
I couldn't place the blame
Lessons that I find in love that we left behind
