[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
