NEXILVA LYRICS

1. Redeemed

So here we are
Alone with the options we thought we'd never have to face
To emerge or cause to immerse again
We depend on our actions
Can our time in black be corrected?

Dragging on again
So distant and here we stand
Nothing to lose
But nothing left to gain.
Near and far events
Across ocean and land
So distant here we stand
For intentional affect

No more can we dwell on what's been taken from us
Carry on and venture into madness
And those who try to bury us, or strive to complete this
Could never live up to the name
For one and apart we weren't the same

Boundaries set in giant leaps and bounds of time
In their design they challenged those
Lacking the means to interchange another race

They fled into hell, never thought to return

We couldn't forget and remain
Inevitable

Unable to stand against the demons we faced
We turned to quiet in everyday
Almost ashamed of our dismay
Angered by whatever we couldn't say
As if there was always another way out

Years passed in our desire
As though time had accelerated around us
Abandoned us

Through their worn and aged eyes we are found
Their salvaging gaze cast deeper underground
An end to the darkness as it was

The fall of pitch black confidence
An end to darkness as it was
But after all the time I could never find
I can not forget where I came from

Redeemed, retrieved
It's only what's missing
Is this all that you will recieve
Reawakened, replaced
It's in our convictions
We can't be fallen from grace

For all the time that we were underground
I never thought we could surface
Or if we even deserved it
We can't stand the silence
You won't be deserted in our time

Life won't be cut short in our eyes
You won't be deserted in our time

Rediscovered, regained
It could all be meaningless
A life yet to be fulfilled
We return, reborn
To shatter the still
Through their eyes, aged and worn

We are now found

2. Decades

How hard do I need to look
To find weapons that justify my need for peace
How far must I walk down this road
Among dwindling pieces of agony that feed my disease

My naivety serves as sweet justice
Dissolving everything I stand upon
Evolving all that I pride myself on
Over and around my every restraint
This danger is awake
To lie to my brain to remain

Living death
I long for dreams of reality
Where crying is heard over laughter
And I find that my demons infect me

They grow higher than I've ever seen before
Longer than I can percieve
An end to the madness inside of me
Is no longer a tale I can believe
A tale I can believe

Only now do I see

As I'm coerced into climbing
Though my freewill is tiring
I breath
The higher the dream
The greater, the faster it feeds
As though I'm forced into dying
The extent of all I see astounds me

Every step recedes abhorently
The trail I'd expect is reduced to nothing in front of me
As far as I can see

Can I continue to climb these demons of mine
Or will I be deserted in my time

Only now do I see
This journey I constructed in fear
Is nothing it was made out to be
It was all a conspiracy

Every step recedes abhorently
This winding path is no longer free
And sadly
For every stone that I turned to defeat you
Every bone that I broke has betrayed me

To fall in line,
A struggle I just can't seem to end
I can't help but defend the upper hand

Awake from effortless sleep
I fear I've gone to deep
There's something i've been missing

Clear skies await
Upon the realisation of this
My journey diminished by fate
For longer I can climb, this forever line
Of misery over time

Only now do I see
This journey I constructed in fear
Is nothing it was made out to be
It was all a conspiracy

Every step recedes abhorently
This winding path is no longer free
And sadly
For every stone that I turned to defeat you
Every bone that I broke has betrayed me

3. Overview

In truth we are fragile
More than we know
In existence we're the futile
More than we show

We hang against a backdrop of the infinite
We're on a vessel in need of a cognitive shift
We're blessed to witness this
For it will change the very path of our consciousness

Looking down from the outside
Straining as the glares radiate
From a sun in a black sky
Alive

Overview
In the haze I see colours
And suddenly it all makes sense
Overview
In the haze I hear a calling
So openly I see the signs

Our time can seem so much shorter here
As thin as our degrading lifeline
Disbanded in time
Detached from being and dreaming
Inside
And fall within

Entrusted with the protection of our saviour from the sun
This bountiful oasis she's trusted us to uphold
Keep her from harm as you would your own
Obeying together
The promise of old

For the gift of life we should be grateful
Poles apart it's farther from the truth
For our siblings here can be so hateful
Guiding her to the fatal noose

Ocean storm cloud swarm around
Up here there's true peace to be found
Dancing curtains of auras flutter the skies
A vision of the line where
Day and Night divide

The heavens before us
No separation to ground us

Overview
In the haze I see colours
And suddenly it all makes sense
Overview
In the haze I hear a calling
So openly
I see the signs

You only have to live
Just let go

4. A Temporal Divine

Taking strides into foreign land
Where time is my only currency
Holding memory high in my growing mind
Breaking the dull ties of our normalcy

The forgotten ones are said to remove our sight
Our potential to recognise the future
Our gift from the temporal divine

I've been left behind and it all remains
My vision of hours behind this sudden change

Unable to make sense of my new reality
Am I remembering or am I alive
A momentary glimpse of all of time

Imagine living in a feared idea
Where chance is our only option

A choice never made is the only way
To remain divided in perception
A parallel dimensional looking glass
Never taking away the possible alternatives
Forever alive in every decision
Beyond anything I could imagine

The distance flaunts
Memories born of my thoughts
The hours, they turn into days
Another life

How would we survive in detached isolate
Where there should be only one, there is forever
We could dicipher our timeline
We could utilise strength
And break the design

I saw every little move I made
Sewn together in an open grave
Paving the road to my dismay
If the future's this close to me
How can I live in every day

I saw every little move I made
Sewn together in an open grave
If the future's this close to me
How can I live in every day

Tracing back to every single path I take
Through open doors to all of my mistakes
If the future is unknown to me
How can I see it in my own disease

I feel I'm spread to thin

Floating on a wave through the tranquil
Feel the water and it's energetic embrace
Lying in a translucent splendour
Lucid journies become one

An epiphany for progression
The elegant truth of what is felt inside
Notions of beauty swarming my mind
Still dead alive
Magnetism to the other side

Traversing further through the stream
Collected memories become the reality
One entity
Travelling to witness the light
Reaching the handle to become
No one

5. Nadir

Twenty-two short years
The smallest grain of sand
Without my arms to comfort
Without the help of my outstretched loving hand

Facing the current
Accepting the pain
Tears tearing at my skin.
Not the same
Pieces of what's left
Remembering your name
The light's no longer akin

I return to your home
Nervously we approached an empty shell
Dreading the sight of her sadness
No words seem right for comfort
Wake me from all this madness

Unforgettable times of togetherness
Knowing that we could just be ourselves in this bliss
I slowly open the door

My palms sweat and my abandoned stomach churns
Everything is alien to everyone
I slowly open the door

Pictures of you cycling through my head
Like an unstoppable carousel
Yearning for a final goodbye

How should I feel?
Where should I go?
I don't belong but
This is my fucking home!

Reduced to a comic box
Lifeless
Nothing but numbness and this pain in my chest
That just will not rest

Pictures of you cycling through my head
Like an unstoppable carousel
For a final goodbye
Makes it harder just to let you go

I walk the earth for you
Searching high and low
Just to find any remnants of you
In denial push against the flow

I cannot cease these dreams
Of what could have been
I can't stop the machine

Travelling
Witnessing
We are one

There is a peaceful silence
The flicker of a burning candle
And even with all that is lost
I don't feel alone in a building of disbelief
The sickness feels all too much for me

Can I save your dreams

How should I feel
Where should I go
Like a mountain of emptiness
Never set in stone

6. The Twilight Prison

Impulsively awakened I thrive
Among the minds so abnormal to mine
Their abrasive lies
Forcing me to cross that line

Their paradise of indifferent awareness
Dragged ever further from my grasp
I long for a second of silence

In this searing temple of fire
An awful prison in twilight
Alive at night

In every dwindling spire
There's an interior fight

The doors are barred and hell is inside
As I attempt to hide
I'm encased
As if evil had ever felt safe

My surroundings are bleak
Though these notions will find me enslaved
It won't let me escape
My body is weak

Face to face I embrace this being
And it's terrible aura unknown
Where once was ever sweeter dreams
It finds me cold and alone

Again
Dead inside and stolen
Begin
Reborn eyes in hoping

Your hands are shaking
Let me resurge
I can shine though your body is aching
Let yourself die for I am the light

I accept
I have lost the fight

As the everlasting night returns I change
Swallowed by the darkness, infected

Falling into the flames of despair
As they flood the halls with terror
Forever they endevour

The blistering might of their power
Shown full force in their stature
For this will never be over
Ever be their nature entombed by their master

Heed my words
Know my will (I know you will erase me)
You feel my burn
Your world will turn

Down paths I could never follow
He speaks to me
Lines I could never cross
In daylight I'm at ease
Through every little toil
He weakens me

The spite that he murmurs clothes me in scorn
So embedded I can't escape
Ingesting my soul
I wish to be reborn
And emerge some place in day

Falling deep in secrets
My patience wanes
As I attempt to hide I'm encased
As if evil had ever felt safe

The doors are barred
And hell is inside
I've made my choice to die
Taking time to close these eyes
Where eternal twilight goes to thrive

The doors are barred
And hell is inside
I've made my choice to die
Taking time to close these eyes
Where eternal twilight goes to thrive
In hell I find my mind
