You stare where the angels fall With black marker stains on the wall We got so far as our own kind But like always, something changed The rage we give can turn the sky Into our empire We divided all confrontations and all lies You stared back where we forged a path for our souls I ran away, so I can say What a perfect day to die The rage we give can turn the sky Into our empire Withering among the stars Colours fading into dark I know that I won't fail again Refuse to tell me that I'm wrong With all the colours dead and gone Disdain for everything I've done To save your life I know that I won't fail again

Accelerating through the pain As best my heart can carry me Exercising deep restraint I can't let all my thoughts break free No, I ain't got no time to kill (Scatter-brained to all four winds) A luxury to just sit still (Appreciate serenity) Look in these eyes and change your tune Anxiety, oncoming doom 'Cos we know that this world ain't slowing down How could you forget These walls were built to keep me deaf How will you connect To someone trapped inside their head? How could you forget These walls were built to keep me deaf How will you connect To someone trapped inside their head? (You crave that panacea for The poison that's infecting me Erase what keeps me so impure Desperate to be problem-free) My dreams define me While sleep eludes me My curse and my ascendancy How could you forget These walls were built to keep me deaf How will you connect To someone trapped inside their head? How could you forget These walls were built to keep me deaf One more voice calling No, you will not be heard, not yet! It's not disease It's hell inside me You'd feel such heat Intensity Meet me halfway Or don't meet me at all I know there isn't any way You'll see this Oh no, you won't For all my differing, yeah You'll arrive at some Reckless surmise Yeah, your support is withering And I could lie down Meet careless demise But no, I won't It's not disease It's hell inside me You'd feel such heat Intensity Meet me halfway Or don't meet me at all I know there isn't any way You'll see this It's not disease It's hell inside me You'd feel such heat Intensity Meet me halfway Or don't meet me at all I know there isn't any way You'll see this my way It's not disease It's hell inside me You'd feel such heat Intensity, oh no Meet me halfway Or don't meet me at all I know there isn't any way You'll see this my way (Meet me halfway...)

Oh Mother, can't you find forgiveness Dig down, and join in concord? You scattered us to pieces Divided, truly conquered Don't shut the Pearly Gates on us We swear to God that it made sense You know how hard it is to face Actions and their consequence? (You are a flesh automaton Driven by neurotransmitters) We are light, divine Behold, our Tower of Babel Our holy megastructure A beautiful disaster Don't mind the swooping vultures Don't mind the gaping sutures We are light, divine! (We don't understand How to understand How our actions led To their consequence) Beneath the icy crust We dug our tomb The earth ran red with rust As we plumbed her womb We always were so curious We thought the worst was so unreal Our nature so mercurial Now we choose to die upon this hill (We don't understand How to understand How our actions led To their consequence) We are light, divine Behold, our Tower of Babel Our holy megastructure A beautiful disaster Don't mind the swooping vultures Don't mind the gaping sutures We are light, divine!

Go! Chase the dragon blind To meet the bottom line But you can always take a deeper dive For the numbers to align – for the dollar sign An audience of souls under control Captive from the word "go"! (Skin, so paper-thin) The veneer of the loyalty you've sold (Will you reach within?) And pull out just a fraction of a– Sold your soul – still not old You'll run out of your head Trepanning for that gold You care for nothing more You're "in", or you're dead You're out of your head So lose control! (Just another mess Another segment of a shadow Of a life, so careless You do not impress Another fragment of a fallow Human life, couldn't care less Just another mess Another segment of a shadow Of a life, so careless You do not impress Another fragment of a fallow Human life, couldn't care less) Your life is all designed Terminally online Fucked by the system and you've sure enjoyed the ride Meteoric rise, planetary decline Poison the well, shock like a shell And raise all hell! (So paper-thin Will you reach within? Are you burning life To soak that sinful soul?) Sold your soul – still not old You'll run out of your head Trepanning for that gold You care for nothing more You're "in", or you're dead You're out of your head So lose control! (Just another mess Another segment of a shadow Of a life, so careless You do not impress Another fragment of a fallow Human life, couldn't care less Just another mess Another segment of a shadow Of a life, so careless You do not impress Another fragment of a fallow human life) You're "in", or you're dead!

Where every thought is amplified And humours run at all-time high Relinquish to a long day's defeat Salt and sweat in the sheets This scintillating dark (I hide away, so you'll never tell) Conceals a grand façade (The false portrayal of myself) The friends behind my eyes The visions I've had all my life Comfort me within the eye Of this terrible storm of lies Shedding tears of joy The spectres I've had all my life Come for me in liquid light To suffocate the inner voice (Oh, what it takes Oh, how I shake Oh, how I'd die To breathe new life) (Lay me down within your glow On a bed of virgin snow I'm so glad to meet with you With you anywhere I'll go Lay me down and let me go Figure clad in visual snow I'm so glad to meet with you Take me everywhere you'll go) Oh, you don't know what it takes (To surrender to dreams) Oh, you don't know how I shake (To submit my disguise) Oh, you don't know what it takes (To not succumb to the grief) Oh, don't you know how I'd die (To suckle new life) Lady of unearthly glow Figure clad in visual snow The night comes crashing through my sorrow Lady bathed in birth's glow I'm so glad you're here But it won't last, no it won't (Day breaking through my pillow) Cocooned in this shell Secured in her spell But it won't last, no it won't (Lay down, relax your mind) Penetrate my soul! Desolate the cold! (Lay me down and let me go Lady clad in visual snow Won't you lay me down and) Keep me in your hold (Baby, keep me in your spell On a bed of virgin snow Maybe I won't die be–) Before I get too old Lady bathed in birth's glow I'm so glad you're here But it won't last, no it won't, no (Lay me down within your glow On a bed of virgin snow I'm so glad to meet with you With you anywhere I'll go Lay me down and let me go Figure clad in visual snow I'm so glad to meet with you Take me everywhere you'll go)

Numb and indifferent are we all You could use some new material (A simplicity discovered and unfurled) Doom us all to an angry fate Infighting 'til the judgement day (Anger is a faceless enemy) Dish it out but you can't take it Fragile ego always close to breaking You seem so happy that we're not gonna make it, yeah Not like you care Not like you love You're captain on a ship of fools And you're about to run ashore And when you do, oh, rest assured There'll be plenty hell on earth without you So many voices in your chorus But we've endured so much before this Every single time Repeating the same lines A version of reality That's see-through and distorted, yeah Dish it out but you can't take it Fragile ego always close to breaking You seem so happy that we're not gonna make it (A captain on a ship of fools...) Not like you care Not like you love You're captain on a ship of fools And you're about to run ashore And when you do, oh, rest assured There'll be plenty hell on earth without you Not like you care Not like you love You're captain on a ship of fools And you're about to run ashore, yeah And when you do And when you do And when you do, oh, rest assured There'll be plenty hell on earth without you

My body is slowly falling apart This life surely loves breaking my heart Hopeless, I don't know if I can change All gone, I don't know if I should tell you this (All my life I) Thought I had something to give I don't know if I am alive Slowly fading in the distance Symphonies of mass consumption To hide away the emptiness inside Break away from overthinking As you sail away in this pain Someday you'll remember how to live The thought of being forgotten by everyone I know Consumed my heart I won't be remembered by the things I should have done Haunted by time (All my life I) Monday morning, early hours Sing this song with all its power Until this desolation disappears Don't forget that you can fight it Use this time, collect your findings And death it's just something that interferes

------------------------------------------ [Part I - Parasite (ft. Dragonfly)] ------------------------------------------ Blindfold slips away And now you clearly see What you've inflicted on me! You've threatened the forces that bind us With the touch of a sick-minded Midas Looping on yourself Like some self-consuming viper (Oh, woe is us Who will save us? No philosophers No trailblazers) You realise your past won't die? Your paradise now drenched in lies The walls you've climbed Will all subside Fall with the tide Downwards you slide I defy you, parasite! Parasite! A caged celestial queen Craving for release But it's too late to save me! And I know full well you're not listening You dance on the ship while it's listing Into briny depths Long since abandoned by your captain (No philosophers No trailblazers No warmongers No great orators No forward-thinkers No entrepreneurs No bad actors No great dictators) You realise your past won't die? Your paradise now drenched in lies The walls you've climbed Will all subside Fall with the tide Downwards you slide I defy you, parasite! (Parasite, parasite Yeah, I defy you – parasite!) Parasite! ------------------------------------------------------------ [Part II - Disappearing Waves (ft. Cat Raain)] ------------------------------------------------------------ The new blood wants us dead Invokers of the modern age While the old ones, close to death Would have us all disgraced, erased, oh And here we go again Losing our way again A symptom of natural cause Playing the part of gods The earth isn't our friend We're breathing the waves again A glimpse into natural flaws Unprecedented loss Back into an age of dark Maybe third time's the charm Fighting a losing cause No coming back for more Defeated, we're crawling home Back into nature's womb We've always been so flawed Yet we thought ourselves as gods I awake to bad intentions (Portents of loss and grief Stifle the air I breathe in) And I awake to ill inventions (Waves from the bluelight screen God I'm craving back those good dreams, again) We're alive Out of spite Much as anything ever was We played in our sandpit like gods Just a symptom of natural cause We're alive Out of spite Despite it all, for all our flaws Plus the fact we've not learned from before (Our chances) They come and they go The ebb and the flow (We vanish) Nowhere to belong Each way feels so wrong (The canvas) Our eternal plot With just one painted blot (Your answers) Like yesterday's sod You'll leave us to rot (No witness) No one left to grieve No bed but the sea (Hope's glimmer) A black star burns out Gone without a sound (Now withers) Our fight's running out Guess you've won this round (Our waves are) A butterfly's wings Leave a deadly sting (Like sonar) No, no naked eye Sees us as we pass by A temporary glitch in the system Battling our way ever through existence Wish the best for our brothers and our sisters Hope they learn from the depths of our wisdom Deep-set greed will burn the sky Dark entropy – a perishing cold tide Have we a seat prepared on high? No The entrance fee's too steep a price Back into an age of dark Maybe third time's the charm Fighting a losing cause No coming back for more Defeated, we're crawling home Back into nature's womb We've always been so flawed Yet we thought ourselves as gods And here we go again Losing our way again A symptom of natural cause Playing the part of gods The earth isn't our friend We're breathing the waves again A glimpse into natural flaws Unprecedented loss Realise the past won't die You're fighting your way through this system But the waves came crashing down And the stars will guide your way (Here we go again) We're alive, much as anything was (Here we go again) Just a symptom of natural cause (Here we go again) We played in our sandpit like gods (And we're lost again) Just a glimpse into natural flaws (Here we go again) No window into the soul We're blinded by it all (Here we go again) Each day we build new walls To shield from the meaningful (Here we go again) The chance has come and gone For a place above it all (And we're lost again) The light shaft dim and narrow We're on our own, destined to fall We're alive, much as anything (No window into the soul) Just a symptom of natural cause (We're blinded by it all) We played in our sandpit like gods (Each day we build new walls) Just a glimpse into natural flaws (To shield from the meaningful) Our chances – they come and they go (The chance has come and gone) We vanish – where do we belong? (A place above it all) The canvas – our eternal plot (The light shaft dim and narrow) No witness – no one left to grieve (We're on our own) No bed but the sea --------------------------------- [Part III - Above the Sea] --------------------------------- I hope to survive the storm To see you again The stars will bring me back Just breathe in And never out The waves are calling me Alone at sea is where I'm meant to be To think outside the box I'll run again To see the long embrace I'll float again The lure catches our eyes And brings back The echoes of our past He who falls down and brings the storm Shall face the rain and blood As the prophecy foretold Down we go The lure catches our eyes And brings back The echoes of our past The waves came crashing down And tore me I like to think I'm alive And not to dwell on these things The moon will shine at me now And guide me through this mistake This mortal wound will subside And give a way to the sun This endless fog will turn pale The sea will be at my hands I like to think I'm alive
