Shivers and voids |
What we are
How we feel
Stuck inside our sensitivity
So we question
What we know
Understanding we are not alone
What is given
We will not take
Cannot betray what we can feel
As we suffer through shivers and voids
Another lapse will come
What is latent in our mind forever
Made to suffer
Our shivers and voids
For every night
We think we've mastered
There is a deeper insecurity
Inside our forces
Unending trials
We bend our backs to cope and endure
We must persist
Must power through
There is no end
Resist the storm
As we suffer through shivers and voids
Another lapse will come
What is latent in our mind forever
Made to tremble
Made to fear
Blind to the ignorance
Blind to the noise
We must remain
Inoculated against it all
As we suffer through shivers and voids
Another lapse will come
What is latent in our mind forever
Made to tremble
Made to fear
As we suffer through shivers and voids
Another lapse will come now
What is latent in our mind forever
We're made to suffer
Our shivers and voids

Unforgiveable |
[Verse 1]
Beyond all sense is this
The march goes ever on
Inside what's left behind
The wasted years of scorn
No charge to save us now
The lingering will fall
The march goes ever on
[Pre-Chorus]
We must be gone
Byâtheâcomingâof the dawn
Thereâwill be noâone
Left to tell our story
[Chorus]
Unforgivable betrayal
In the hour of our need
No quarter for this treachery
No mercy for the lost
[Verse 2]
The silent ways of thosе
Who scour the distant shore
To further widеn the divide
[Pre-Chorus]
We must be gone
By the coming of the dawn
There will be no one
Left to tell our story
[Chorus]
Unforgivable betrayal
In the hour of our need
No quarter for this treachery
No mercy for the lost
[Bridge]
Not a single purpose given
No leniency
Not a single reason stated
No mercy shown
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
We will be gone
Before the daylight comes
There will be no one
Left to tell our story
[Chorus]
Unforgivable betrayal
In the hour of our need
No quarter for this treachery
Unforgivable betrayal
In the hour of our need
No quarter for this treachery
No mercy for the lost

Neuronal fire |
What we fear that we will never see
Beyond the night sky
Would come to expose our own black heart
Our senses grasp what we don't know
Yet our hold is never enough
What our thoughts begin to surface
What our dreams have given us to dare
Challenge this, our blind denial
For our minds are never enough
Challenge this, our blind denial
Our eternal curse
Of neuronal fire
Another shadow broken
Another rеstless dream
Our etеrnal curse
Of neuronal fire
Set the paradoxical night ablaze
Now and forever cursed
To where we hope for revelation
To still our aching lives
Standing on the precipice
We get flashes of what will be our own demise
Challenge this, our blind denial
For our minds are never enough
Challenge this, our blind denial
Our eternal curse
Of neuronal fire
Another shadow broken
Another restless dream
Our eternal curse
Of neuronal fire
Set the paradoxical night ablaze
With neuronal fire
In a shadow broken by
The light's reflection
We held out hope for far too long
Here we are, in line to the next
Set of gathered aspirations
In a darkness interrupted
By neuronal fire
Our eternal curse
Of neuronal fire
Another shadow broken
Another restless dream
Our eternal curse
Of neuronal fire
Set the paradoxical night ablaze
I don't want to feel
I don't want to know
Another shadow broken
Another restless dream
Our eternal curse
Of neuronal fire
Set the paradoxical night ablaze
Now and forever cursed

Not nothing |
[Intro]
We are without
We are just passing by
No guiding hand
For finding our way
We're equal to
The dust in our eyes
The mindless noise we are
[Chorus]
We are not nothing
Yet why do we feel?
Fear to the power of infinity
We are not nothing
We serve our purpose here
We tell ourselves
What we need to hear
To make our mark
We are not nothing
It has got to be
The emptinеss
We are herе to resist
We are here to defy
[Verse 1]
Still lost in time
So far beside ourselves
Our truth as ever
Is not a single path
To what is hollow
To what is now left
Will we see another way?
[Chorus]
We are not nothing
Yet why do we feel?
Fear to the power of infinity
We are not nothing
We serve our purpose here
We tell ourselves
What we need to hear
To make our mark
We are not nothing
It has got to be
The emptiness
We are here to resist
We are here to defy
[Verse 2]
Without our order
Our catalogue of time
Without our sense
We are meant to just survive
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
We are not nothing
We serve our purpose here
We tell ourselves
What we need to hear
To make our mark
We are not nothing
It has got to be
The emptiness
We are here to resist
We are here to defy
[Outro]
We are without
We are just passing by
No guiding hand
For finding our way
We are without
We are just passing by
No guiding hand
For finding our way

Drowned-out voices |
Imagination will find a way
Imagination will find a way
To subvert what we think we know
Through co-opted voices telling lies
How do we verify, how do we verify?
Altered ways to further opinion
As itâspinsâoutâof our control
Noâchance for consentâin opinion
When distrust is the goal
Can you hear it, can you feel?
Can you see behind the chaos and the noise?
Can you hear it beyond the lies
Calling out our drowned out voices?
Imagination will find a way
Imagination will find a way
For unprovoked attacks on the tenets of trust
Foundation of community
How do we reconcile, how do we reconcile?
With baseless information
We arе woefully unprepared
No chancе for truth in words
When distrust is the goal
Can you hear it, can you feel?
Can you see behind the chaos and the noise?
Can you hear it beyond the lies
Calling out our drowned out voices?
Now
We are too easy to manipulate
Now the value of our words reside
In the space between us
We are too easy to manipulate
A simple mind for simple thoughts
The value of our words reside
Inside the space between us
Imagination will find a way
Another truth from within the lie
The first swell before another one hits
Can you hear it, can you hear it?
Can you hear it, can you feel?
Can you see behind the chaos and the noise?
Can you hear it beyond the lies
Calling out our drowned out voices?
Now
We are too easy to manipulate
Now the value of our words reside
In the space between us

 |
One of us is gone |
Our words can never do it
One of us is gone
No faith, no fear, no nothing
Just can't believe it
Close now to the end
No epiphanies
We'd rather face indifference
Than any spark of hope
Remain where sanity holds you
Whatever happens, happens
Remain where sanity holds you close
Whatever happens
Words that drew a future
In every shade of grey
This quiet understanding
Is not еnough
Stay in this forever
We'll spеak your name
As we move in memory
Trapped in time
Closer to the end
Telling no more lies
In strength and understanding
We are alone
So face the greatest emptiness
As it falls around you
On every step of the way
To the ever, the ever opening night
These are the longest hours
Not knowing what time will grant us
These are the words that compose the dark
This is now where we are
And one of us is gone
Our words can never do it
One of us is gone
One of us is gone

The last imagination |
Our failure to accept what ceases to be
To give up on the idea of self
We can fail to meet with our grand ideas
Can we grasp our removal from the plan
Here at childhood's end, here at nothingness
Are we lost
This is the last page
Of the story no one else will ever read
The last imagination
One final set of truths
When every silent scream is written
To the night eternal
This is the last imagination
One final set of truths
We refuse to be nothing worthy of measure
So lost as our time is short
Have we fled our past to embrace a now
That is over before it's begun
Now this endless midnight, eternal dark
Is our own
This is the last page
Of the story no one else will ever read
The last imagination
One final set of truths
When every silent scream is written
To the night eternal
This is the last imagination
One final set of truths
When all that's said and done is over
With the last page written
In the story no one else will ever
No one else will ever read
This is the last page
Of the story no one else will ever read
The last imagination
One final set of truths
When every silent scream is written
To the night eternal
This is the last imagination
One final set of truths

Enforced perspective |
Another unit of our measure
Beyond what we can see
Our days so far
Conform to this blind metric
We let the distance set the tone
For how it travels through our time
We set our sights too far
We narrowed our scope
I hold my hand to the sky for scale
To prove my insignificance
Enforced perspective
Enforced perspective
We hold in our hands
What once had seemed unreachable
Another turn around
To face illusion
We make our innermost design
Align to a vision we deny
We set our sights too far
We narrowed our scope
I hold my hand to the sky for scale
To prove my insignificance
Enforced perspective
Enforced perspective
The power to destroy
What towers now before us
The ones that got away
Now hides within us all
That hides within us all
Retune the sight line to
Make sense of our delusion
Out of proportion
One reality fades
We grasp what we can never hold
In matters out of our control
We set our sights too far
We narrowed our scope
I hold my hand to the sky for scale
To prove my insignificance
Enforced perspective

Our disconnect |
We shape a life without
Our choice will take us there
We sought the unexplored to weave a tale untold
A lasting peace within
The need to set it right below our will and force
A voice misleading
What is our want will make us doubt?
What is our need for things to end?
What is our want that will make us doubt?
Leave us with emptiness
This is a gift and our curse
Our mind desire
There is violence in our hearts unbroken
This is the day of our disconnect
To go against, to go out of the way
To keep a mind on to onesеlf
What is there to share
Whеn our world is slowly breaking?
What is there to share
When our world is slowly breaking down?
What is our want will make us doubt?
What is our need for things to end?
What is our want that will make us doubt?
Leave us with emptiness
This is a gift and our curse
Our mind desire
There is violence in our hearts unbroken
This is the day, this is the day
This is the day
Of our disconnect
What cannot be hindered
Cuts right, cuts right through us
What can never be altered
Yet changes everything
Changes everything
What is our want will make us doubt?
What is our need for things to end?
What is our want that will make us doubt?
Leave us with emptiness
This is a gift and our curse
Our mind desire
There is violence in our hearts unbroken
This is the day of our disconnect

Wayward eyes |
Antithetical to our veracity
We never speak of this
A self-contained betrayal
A violence owned
Left out cold by our time
The oncoming oppression
Submit to the cruelest force
We're dragged behind by our lies
This is our fate
So grand and blind
As is our will to live up to our minds
This is our fate
So grand and blind
We set our wayward eyes
Too far beyond our reach
Like distant stars, our light was cold
The inner darkness, expansive and profound
In infinite transparency
We enhance the intrigue
With insufficient sight
Our imagination takes us down
This is our fate
So grand and blind
As is our will to live up to our minds
This is our fate
So grand and blind
We set our wayward eyes
Too far beyond our reach
This is our fate
So grand and blind
As is our will to live up to our minds
This is our fate
So grand and blind
We set our wayward eyes
Too far beyond our reach
This is our fate
So grand and blind
As is our will to live up to our minds
Yeah, this is our fate
So grand and blind
We set our wayward eyes
Too far beyond our reach

A bleaker sun |
What we've set up for ourselves is a goal we will never reach
Another branch to climb too far, our resolve can never break
We measure loss not by its impact, but by severity and cost
A bleaker sun now sets over indifferent lands
When we gaze into the abyss
What we cannot see lies deeper within ourselves
When we gaze into the abyss, we anchor our sanity
A bleaker sun now sets over indifferent lands
Each plan for our very own longevity and prosperous nature
Subverted long ago as we head for another failure
We don't look up, we never forgive ourselves
We don't look up, but for our own reflection
A bleaker sun now sets over indifferent lands
When we gaze into the abyss
What we cannot see lies deeper within ourselves
When we gaze into the abyss, we anchor our sanity
A bleaker sun now sets over indifferent lands
Another round amid the chaos of our inner turbulent ideas
Resisted for the longest time, now we dive into further dark
Never look in, could we ever come back again?
Never look in until the time is right
A bleaker sun now sets over indifferent lands
When we gaze into the abyss
What we cannot see lies deeper within ourselves
When we gaze into the abyss, we anchor our sanity
A bleaker sun now sets over indifferent lands
A bleaker sun now sets

False reflection |
What little we know, know of each other
What part of our distance is real
Further from the core, core of our being
A borrowed perspective, a voice not our own
What we see is a darkened mirage
Through the prism we broke out from
One judgement feeds yet another
This fractured mind broken by our view of us
What we crave for ourselves
From anyone who will listen
Is not enough, enough to maintain
That image in the mirror
You see for yourself
What are we if not a false reflection?
We've always been two, two seconds away
From misery or bliss, now you decide
We'd rather not see, see what is given
When we can take the pieces and build our own
What stands before us are manmade monsters
Created by our own damn selves
We feign a deep understanding of something
Of something we can never be
What we crave for ourselves
From anyone who will listen
Is not enough, enough to maintain
That image in the mirror
You see for yourself
What are we if not a false reflection?
From anyone who will listen
Is not enough, enough to maintain
That image in the mirror
You see for yourself
What are we if not a false reflection?

Zero sum |
We are but shadows
Cast by the whims of fate
No fear or promise
Will hold our thoughtsâ
atâ
bay
Our fiends andâ
tyrants
Delight in our hopeless plight
Leave usâ
but ashes
To cover our eyes
Our fear is repressive
In a time of our endless strife
In this zero sum game
We must surmount our great divide
Our zero sum game
Master the hollow words
That carry our lies like dust
Lean on the ones deceptive
For an inside viеw
Make of our adversary
More of what wе are
Here on the outside
Here in us all
Our tear is regresive
In d time of our endless strife
In this zero sum game
We must surmounf our greaf divide
Our zero sum game
Our self deceptions
Are nothing buf features
Featues of subjecfivity
Never closer than now
On the brink of ruin
Make blind our apen minds
Here on the outside
Here in us all
Our fear is repressive
In a time of our endless strife
In this zero sum game
We must surmount our great divide
Our zero sum game
|

In failure |
As a part of our closure
A distant fire still remain
For everything is our deception
When will the truth of us emerge
Stronger with each incarnation
Fallen from the brightest of stars
The bonds we're doomed to break
One last informed decision
Will stand between us now
In this failure we are strong
In our failure we belong
Losing to the ignorance
Surging through the endless sky
Our earnest invocation
As this evasion becomes clеar
Leaving the controlled pеrspective
Taken to the last ever line
This path we're cursed to walk
One last informed decision
Will stand between us now
In this failure we are strong
In our failure we belong
There can never be another one
Another union to outlast
We fall behind the line
And the rules we vowed to break
There can never be another one
Set of circumstances such as these
Where the codes just don't apply
To our failing time
Stronger with each incarnation
Fallen from the brightest of stars
The bonds we're doomed to break
One last decision
Stands between us now
In this failure we are strong
In our failure we belong
One last decision
Will stand forever
In our failure we belong
