1. ENTER

It started as a wish
A cheap thought whispered out loud
Didn't see the risk
In spilling my desire out
It came in like a dream
And left me like a nightmare
I know I made you leave
But I would follow you anywhere

Enter through the alleyway
Past the invisible door
And all the way down the Escher staircase in the Underworld
It's not the same as before

He offered me a gift
To look the other way
Didn't think I'd miss
My blood, my lineage
Too innocent to speak
Too curious to just stare
I know I made you leave
But I will follow you anywhere

Enter through the alleyway
Past the invisible door
And all the way down the Escher staircase in the Underworld
It's not the same as before
Enter through the garden gate
Past the Masquerade Room, as the clock winds down
I picture you with a crystal ball
You watch me as I fall

You watch me as I fall

You watch me as I fall

Enter through the alleyway
Past the invisible door
And all the way down the Escher staircase in the Underworld
It's not the same as before
Enter through the garden gate
Past the Masquerade Room, as the clock winds down
I picture you with a crystal ball
You watch me as I fall


2. THE SKY WILL TURN

Doors of many, as of few
Leading inside out, around and through
Past forgotten, now as new
A line dividing false and true
This one and only room

And as trapped as we are, it's the devil we know
The exceptions we make will never be shown
To the rest of the world, what we touch turns to gold
For a moment, we freeze

But if ever there's a full moon breaking
It's painting our faces
We won't know (Won't know)
Which way (Which way)
The sky will turn
We're at the blood eclipse
And we can't look away
It's like a car crash burning
At the edge of the earth

In the rainstorm, soft and grey
Leading inside out and float away
Soon to stop and hope to stay
A light defining night and day
And this is how we pray

And as trapped as we are, it's the devil we know
The exceptions we make will never be shown
To the rest of the world, what we touch turns to gold
For a moment, we freeze

But if ever there's a full moon breaking
It's painting our faces
We won't know (Won't know)
Which way (Which way)
The sky will turn
We're at the blood eclipse
And we can't look away
It's like a car crash burning
At the edge of the earth

If ever there's a full moon breaking
It's painting our faces
We won't know (Won't know)
Which way (Which way)
The sky will turn
We're at the blood eclipse
And we can't look away
It's like a car crash burning
At the edge of the earth


3. DIAMONDS

In the ash of what we made
We see relief in the refrain
Feel the grief without the pain
In the fire after the rain
To the face behind the mask
There's a question never asked
We're the ones under the ground
Secrets waiting to be found

Everything gets lost
In the midnight fog
Like the diamonds in the dark
People tend to walk right past them
And we all get lost
In the midnight fog
We're the diamonds in the dark
Hiding from the world

Hide me from the world
Hide me from the world

We shiver as we shake
Laid upon the floor like snakes
The uninvited love us best
Strangers kinder than our friends
Nothing moves with no direction
Distance within disconnection
Patterns sewn as time unravels
Broken face no longer fragile

And everything gets lost
In the midnight fog
Like the diamonds in the dark
People tend to walk right past them
And we all get lost
In the midnight fog
We're the diamonds in the dark
Hiding from the world

Hide me from the world
Hide me from the world
Hide me from the world
Hide me from the world


4. RUN

If all that I know is all that I'm needing
I don't want to think. I want to believe it

Whenever I come to you
I hear you out
Before I run
Cause it's not me
And it won't stop
We can't start over
It's a small world
Till it's on your shoulders

Too early to rise, too late for no reason
I'm never asleep, but I'm always dreaming

Whenever I come to you
I hear you out
Before I run
Cause it's not me
And it won't stop
We can't start over
Such a small world
Till it's on your shoulders

Won't stop, cause we can't start over
No sleep till our hearts beat slower
Won't fall, cause we can't sink lower
Small world, till it's on our shoulders

Whenever I come to you
I hear you out
Before I run
Cause it's not me
And it won't stop
We can't start over
Such a small world
Till it's on your shoulders


5. FLASHBACK

Don't forget to remember
Tomorrow's no more than yesterday
All you need is want
Angels work, and devils play

This feels like nothing new
Feels like yesterday
This feels like déjà vu
Feels like yesterday

As above, so below
As the universe, so the soul

Don't forget to surrender
Tomorrow will soon be yesterday
Learn the role by heart
Devils charm, and angels pray

This feels like nothing new
Feels like yesterday
This feels like déjà vu
Feels like yesterday

As above, so below
As the universe, so the soul

We play the part. Our role, by heart
To the end, from where we start
Truth we know, where all things go
As above, so as below

As above, so below
As the universe, so the soul


6. THE LAST GOODBYE

There's a place we can find with no direction
Every choice is stitched in the pattern we sew in time
From the start to the end, we define between
In the nothing, there is something we can never see
There's a place we can go if you just stay close to me

Stay until the last goodbye
Until our hearts stop burning
And the world stops turning 'round
Stay for all the reasons why
Till the heart stops searching
And the world starts burning down

Every way leads to just one destination
Every turn of fate, just a matter of reasons why
From the heart and the hand that provide the means
Through the life and the death of the waking dream
There's a place we can go if you just stay close to me

Stay until the last goodbye
Until our hearts stop burning
And the world stops turning 'round
Stay for all the reasons why
Till the heart stops searching
And the world starts burning down


7. CRUSH

Delicate like an infant
So relative, if you see through me
Jealousy a persistent whisper
A gentle wind through a hollow tree
Who are we, adrift and naked?
You hold my breath. I save you a seat
Fantasy of a quiet separation
A double edge on the devil's seam

We rise, then we dissolve
It's a deep black crush
It's a pale blue love
And we know what we've become
It's a pale blue love
It's a deep black crush

A new world oddity meets the commoner
Impulse. White blood. So high. Too soft
Try to meet halfway. Now we're up against a stone wall
We crash. Twin fire. Blue ash. Pink smoke
Spirals in decline, one tied against the other
Impulse. White blood. So high. Too soft
Dissolving in the sky, swallowed in time
We crash. Twin fire. Blue ash. Pink smoke

Soft to tell in an instant, fleeting
Put to rest in the deep blue sea
Separate in the dark white winter
Melted back with a hollow plea
What are we but a storm of sorrow?
Broken eyes and a mouth of bone
Feel your heart beating slow like thunder
Bleeding out through the fire and stone

We rise, then we dissolve
It's a deep black crush
It's a pale blue love
And we know what we've become
It's a pale blue love
It's a deep black crush

A new world oddity meets the commoner
Impulse. White blood. So high. Too soft
Try to meet halfway. Now we're up against a stone wall
We crash. Twin fire. Blue ash. Pink smoke
Spirals in decline, one tied against the other
Impulse. White blood. So high. Too soft
Dissolving in the sky, swallowed in time
We crash. Twin fire. Blue ash. Pink smoke


8. MIRRORS

A missing piece of mind
Drawn and redesigned
What we are is what's defined
Words of wasted youth
A lie preceding truth
All we gain is more to lose

Come down beneath these flooding fields
Be a mirror to the night
Lay down beneath these falling stars
We are mirrors of night

A picture lost in time
A balance we can't find
In the faces left behind
We finish at the start
Knowing in our hearts
We were born to fall apart

Come down beneath these flooding fields
Be a mirror to the night
Lay down beneath these falling stars
We are mirrors of night

Come down beneath these flooding fields
Be a mirror to the night
Lay down beneath these falling stars
We are mirrors of night


9. PARALLEL WORLD

Too skeptical to believe a truth
Too wide awake for a singular view
Leaving everything divided
They sell you a wish, a chance to bloom
Another revival made to look new

And we watch the place that we came from
Fade to the wrong side of the parallel world
And they burned every shred of innocence
Leaving a skeleton boy, a skeleton girl

We put up a fence made with razor wire
But nobody ever comes to this side
We put up a beacon across the sky
Illuminating faces that were buried in time
But everything gets lost behind the veil

We never thought that we could watch the place that we came from
Fade to the wrong side of the parallel world
And they burned every shred of innocence
Leaving a skeleton boy, a skeleton girl

And behind the veil there's a way out
If you follow it through there's a way out
If you follow through there's a way out
If you follow it through there's a way out
And behind the veil there's a way out
If you follow it through there's a way out
If you follow through there's a way out
If you follow it through there's a way out
(If you follow through)

We never thought that we could watch the place that we came from
Fade to the wrong side of the parallel world
And they burned every shred of innocence
Leaving a skeleton boy, a skeleton girl
