1. Collapse
Collapse
We fold in difficult fashion, pinions clipped and forgotten
So we grow fray and suffer the cold
Like a shiver inside our own reason
Your feigned regard a frozen lake
I’ll leave you trapped, I hope your winter never ends
Replicated errors, we smash against these glaciers of mistakes
Replicated errors, and as summers melt we just
Find ourselves drowning in the flood
We melt away at the summers heat, stuck between
Our own ideas in paralyzed nights we kick and turn in searing waves
Like hollow shells, dread echoes inside
Reverberate in infinity, reverberate in infinity
Replicated errors, we smash against these glaciers of mistakes
Replicated errors, and as summers melt we just find ourselves
Drowning in the flood
We smash against these glaciers of mistakes
And find ourselves drowning in the flood
Smash against these glaciers of mistakes
And find ourselves drowning in the flood
2. Lost In The Static
And in the end I will show you that this life is only madness
Can we filter out the toxicity and find worth in the static?
We build and build
We forget the model
We design the madness and we paint it gold
Swarming and spiraling burning at both ends
A blur on the horizon
We fail to keep site over and over again
Open your palms up resist the current
[2x]
I am not your fathers son
Lost in the static
I am not your fathers son
Lost in the static
And you'll find me at the end
Come dig me up, wipe the earth from my bones
With pressure, we creak and we bend
Crimson feet trample our joints
We splinter and break
We suffer again
We become a path others use to take
A distant undertaking to suffer the same
I'll stand right beside you
We slog side by side
Become a path others use to take
Lost in the static
Just to suffer the same
[?]
Come dig me up, wipe the earth from my bones
Hold me up and join me on the horizon
Kill what's left of the inner glow
Giving up the ghost
Growing cold
We never begin (we never begin)
Our own feet trample our joints
We burn at both ends
A blur on the horizon
We become a path others use to take
A distant undertaking to suffer the same
I'll stand right beside you
We slog side by side
(Lost in the static, lost in the static)
We build and build we forget the model
We design madness and paint it gold
[2x]
I am not your fathers son
Lost in the static
I am not your fathers son
Lost in the static
And you'll find me at the end
Come dig me up, wipe the earth from my bones
3. Mire
We feel so much better here below
Down here where the eyes are yellow and gold
We rot inside out, we crack and flake
Nothing is better than deep down below
My whole mouth brimming of leaves, submerged and gasping for air
Let the earth swallow me whole
Fertile graves bury me engulf my bones
Eyes full of stone as they close
Intertwine with the sediment as we sink into the mire
Oh I sense a confused declaration
We beat the horse with a sort of unknown conviction
And nothing ever matters, we sink into the mire
So I lay here tangled in vines and a mouth brimming with leaves
There's nothing to eat but she fertilizes me
We feel so much better here below
Down here where the eyes are yellow and gold
We rot inside out, we crack and flake
Nothing is better than deep down below
Do you know what it's like to be inside separate from life
A shallow grave for benevolence
Submerged we grasp for light but none that truly exists
Better then, nothing now, you feel the earth surround you as you fall
Inside a new life animates itself
We feel so much better here below
Down here where the eyes are yellow and gold
We rot inside out, we crack and flake
Nothing is better than deep down below
We feel so much better here below
Down here where the eyes are blank and cold
We rot inside out, we fast decay
Nothing is better than deep down below
4. Deluge
And I was over taken, over whelmed and out of control
Visitors on parallel trails, unknowingly bound
Blue solitaries deluge, though I felt that I could swim
Sight kept on the skyline so we become builders of ships
Aiming to be forgotten, waiting for the rain to regress
I’ll never look back, nothing really mattered ‘til now
Decades waiting to be caught in your wind
And when your voice gave notes it pushed my sails
We found safety glowing within ourselves
Just two children waiting at the window for the rain to stop
We found safety glowing within ourselves
Just two children waiting at the window for the rain to stop
Decades became wading but we were never meant for a watery grave
Trapped in trivial downpour, decades became wading
But we were never meant for a watery grave
In solace, finding our footing, stepping out onto dry land
Dawning a life of worth discovering a glow within
Blue solitaires deluge broke down walls and I gave in
Everything and anything I ever wanted really never meant
There’s so much greater gifts two give, we finally found a way
Everything and anything I ever wanted really never meant
There’s so much greater gifts to give
Never meant for a watery grave
We found safety glowing within ourselves
Just two children waiting at the window for the rain to stop
We found safety glowing within ourselves
Just two children waiting at the window for the rain to stop
We were never meant for a watery grave
5. Laurentian Ghosts
Ever-flowing white ghosts form on my fingertips
Balanced in peace, dancing in light
My grip blooms and blossoms forever more
Incubated, in silence we find tranquility
Distilled into memories, we shut off, retired among the infinite
We aim for balance standing on cannonballs, outside the battlefields
We aim for balance standing on cannonballs
We slam on clay and dig deep, and labyrinth trenches around craters we call home
Such an amazing defeat
RAGE, I will put this all back inside of me
Ghosts of my past lift me up, carry me through blinding night
RAGE, find me beneath the iron mines, below 10,000 lakes, find me beyond the pines
Now face your back to the storm, forget the shelters you would seek before
Let your feet hit the ground, don't look back to where the siren sounds
We aim for balance standing on cannonballs, outside the battlefield
We aim for balance standing on cannonballs
We slam on clay and dig deep, and labyrinth trenches around craters we call home
Such an amazing defeat, we misplace dreams and study braille throughout the dark
And there’s hope for a better future, and there's hope for a better life
RAGE, I will put this all back inside of me
Ghosts of my past lift me up, carry me through blinding night
RAGE, join me beneath the iron mines, below 10,000 lakes, join me beyond the pines
6. Heavy Lies The Ground
Bound with iron chain, solitary feed me to the grey
We dig fields of apathy, excavating endless burial mounds
Heavy lies the ground
I get what I give, so I die where I dig
Never go home, just tunnel a hole inside this field of apathy
Never giving what I could, I get what I give
Never wanting more so I die where I dig
Never wanting more so I die where I dig
Illusionist grant us safety nets made of your decaying sutures and of
Fraying string, wave your white gloves, enrapture me and send us ease
Leave us all to rot inside the facade
A solitary man ragged and worn
I cross out days on the wall and I beg for mercy
Were begging for mercy, ragged and worn
Beg for mercy, beg
I get what I give, so I'll die where I dig
I get what I give, so I'll die where I dig
7. Catacombs
Sweeping barricades red with rust
Quiet this mind abandoned fields of thought
Searching for meaning, wandering in opaque
Closing my eyes, and let the color in
Quiet this mind ignite these fields of thought
Everything around me cold and still, searching for feeling screaming
Open my eyes and let the color in
We venture through time blind
Running hands against the walls
Everything around me slowing down
I feel a cold wind pierce through the wall
Abandon these fields of thought, try to quiet this mind
We'll serve a lifetime of terror inside
Wandering through these catacombs
Sweeping barricades red with blood
Quiet this mind, ignite these fields of thought
Searching for feeling, screaming in opaque
Closing my eyes colorless
We venture through time blind, running hands against the walls
Forgotten still searching the deeper we go
We venture through time blind, running hands against the walls
We will be forgotten inside these catacombs
Truth will always find me, I'll disregard the meaning
Caught with my head underground wide eyed and afraid to look up
Nightmares replicating on concrete sleep, trapped inside a feverish dream
Waiting for the weight I'm carrying to adjust
Waiting for something to wake me up
I've dug these up on my own, I’ve dug these up on my own
I will stay in these catacombs
8. The Endless March
Eyes flare, this glow becomes our lanterns
We are searching for truth, but find dust and dirt
Though sight falls hard, trudge headfirst and forget what matters
Caught in the trample of the tow, bones scrape against the asphalt
Gaze into the depth and try to find the fire within
I try to pick up the pieces, try to pick up the pieces
Pick up mud and re invent these limbs
Caught in tow we are a sight of endless marching and swaying lights
We leave lumber for the need - rebuild this broken body
Lumber for the need - rebuild this broken soul
Try to pick up the pieces, but timber becoming decay
Excavate bone and sculpt mud into limbs, following the sequence
Leave a little bit of ourselves behind with every step
Broken teeth fractured and spread out
Blending in the scene hands swell and branches break becoming lumber for the need
This glow becomes our lanterns, though sight falls hard
Trudge headfirst and forget what matters
Gaze the depth and try to find fire within pick up mud and re invent these broken limbs
Forcefully held down, friction burns our bones that scrape against the asphalt
Forcefully held down, fragments of our broken teeth spread out around us
Forcefully held down try to pick up all the pieces, become decay
9. Sway Of The Break
I’ve watched the lamp lights fade, a flare trembles and quivers that kept me safe
Warm concrete streets, I used to call home
Laid in brick and broken stone so a merchant I'll stay
Staying caught in the sway of the break
Set aflame, set aflame, set aflame
Oh the sand covers me, grains the colors of ash
They follow me here, I'll never leave, anchors of memories
Melting iron made of hours forged through eras
Hanging fire trapped in glass bulbs
Bludgeon toxic burdens and unearth my roots
Flip me over and set me free
I’ve watched the lamp lights fade, a flare trembles and quivers that kept me safe
Warm concrete streets, I used to call home
Laid in brick and broken stone so a merchant I'll stay
Staying caught in the sway of the break
Set aflame, set aflame, set aflame
The sunlight fades and we still feel safe
Settled like worn beacons fought in the flow
Lift the tide, and let the stoic moon still guide me
Charmed by glow we follow and forget to even ask why we're here
Become the practice by accident, we become the practice by accident
As time flows by it phases our lights, castaway, castaway
Swept away not forgotten, so we will set aflame caught in the break
All will be set aflame, all set aflame
