Apparition Sun
04:21
|
|||
|
Exploring the edge of clouds
I sometimes catch a glimpse
But the words drip from my mouth
From the mind’s eye into the sky
A fleeting beauty caught in stills
From a time when the world made sense
And we were meant to be free
But now we don’t dare say it
You don’t look at me the way you used to
Or speak of the things that used to be
But it matters now more than ever
..my apparition sun...

Return to Dust
04:07
|
|||
|
We’ll return to dust
Awakening to an end
To a dreadful, unending beauty
In the mouth of oblivion
Chase the sunrise
You are fading at the speed of light
No more trust
In my own thoughts
And the meaning of words
I'm taken out of myself
As the moment nears
Catch the sunset
We are dying at the speed of light
Losing sense of distance
It’s the arrival of the great shadow
Stand close to me
So that you are the last one I see

Dusk of our Sacrifice
03:22
|
|||
|
What can be said of the simple things
When they don't mean anything
What can we make of our lonely lives
When we're all just actors in a pantomime
A message in a bottle
On a shore of memories
But I still can't decipher
My own cries for help
I love you more than anything
It's no mistake that we're all in this
In the dusk of our sacrifice
I don't want to leave it all behind

Numb and Mechanized
04:16
|
|||
|
I’ve internalized my faults
Suppressed all of my instincts
For the greater good
Numb and mechanized
The pearls of my eyes
One day they will wonder
If they meant to me
What I meant to them
Reckless years behind
And times of wrath ahead
We are feed for a machine
Selfless for reasons gone
I built my bridges out of blood
Leaving trails that lead
To the end of feelings
Reckless years behind
And times of wrath ahead
We are feed for a machine

The New Alone
04:15
|
|||
|
I’m not inspired anymore
I've slowed down to a crawl
Making way for something
Something new and unknown
They say it's the modern world
I call it the new alone
Feels like the growing distance
Between hope and despair
Release me from this dread
It swallows me whole again
As the same dream fills my head
Of a house with a room that I can’t enter
They say it's the modern world
I call it the new alone
The new alone
A perfect void in society
A lesson in the solitary
Has left me craving the rot
With a view of life from the rooftop

Chains of Longing
05:15
|
|||
|
Held by the rule of song
Bound by the chains of longing
Trapped in a paradox
I pace in my mental cage
And sleep in my bed of nails
Life given, life taken
I forgot how to grieve
For my long lost nature
I’m chained to these walls
And I know a flood is coming
I cried when I realized that this dream
Was the best movie I had ever seen
…not far, the hum of life haunts me.

Down into the Blue
05:17
|
|||
|
Love is tested
Lines are blurred
I offer you my mind
But it's always too much
Always too soon
I can’t find the right things to say
In this reality of damaged memories
Come around
For one last drink
Our hearts sing coldly
Like the static hum of winter
I have a radio in my ears
A movie behind my eyes
I am a rocket back from the moon
That parachutes down into the blue

Lovesick Plaything
04:54
|
|||
|
She arrives before the setting sun
Something moves in Anna's heart
Trees whisper in the chill of chance
She's a lovesick plaything for every ghost
...a lovesick plaything...
Tracing realms in a chant state
Stirring the ashes of her foes
A young amnesiac, famously wasted
Dead voices crack mirrors in heaven
Trees whisper in the chill of chance
She's a lovesick plaything for every ghost
Fire lights a trail to the bodies
Digging the bone through her fingertips
The mother of nothing unearths her child
A knife seals a promise of sisters apart
...a lovesick plaything...
