NORTHLANE LYRICS

1. Clarity

Clarity, don't let me down now
Clarity, don't let me down
Clarity, don't let me down
Clarity, don't let me down
You're killing me

Disgrace to my flesh and blood
My pain didn't say enough
Here and gone
Burned into the songs
The legacy has come undone
You said you didn't deserve this
That my truth struck a nerve
Well I meant every word
I was disregarded
Dragged my skull to the curb
You fucked me up again
Mind inanimate, un-compassionate
As if I hurt you for the thrill of it
But you're deaf, self-entwined
My history is being undermined
Clarity, don't let me down now
Clarity, don't let me down
You're killing me

Make of me, your scapegoat
Pull me to the shadows
Hold me ransom in chains
Cut out my tongue and curse my name

I'm the lamb of sacrifice for your mistakes
Lead me to the slaughter now we're at a stalemate
Blame it on the past, tell me we're condemned
Nothing's going to change, we're already dead

Clarity, don't let me down now
Clarity, don't let me down
You're killing me

2. Clockwork

I'm running out of time
I'm running out
I'm running on a feeling, so
I'm running out of time

I'm running out
I'm running on a feeling, so
I'm running out
I'm running on a feeling, so

These are lonely words
Barely on the page
I've a million thoughts
But I can't let them escape
I've got this barrier
Screaming inferior
Am I a saboteur
Lost in the fear
That I'm destined to fail
That I'll de-rail the dream?
I've got nothing to show
But the show must go on
I wish I had the energy

I'm running out
I'm running on a feeling, so
I'm running out
I'm running on a feeling, so

I'm running out of time
I'm running out
I'm running on a feeling, so
I'm running out of time
I'm running out, I'm running out
I'm so empty, so empty
I'm so empty, so empty
I'm running out of time
I'm running out of time

Help me see the rainbow

Help me see the rainbow
Through my clouded eyes
I'm in half the mind
To leave it all behind
Help me see the rainbow
I can't find a pulse
And it's getting cold
Help me see the rainbow

I'm running out of time
I'm running out
I'm running on a feeling, so
I'm running out of time
I'm running out, I'm running out
I'm so empty, so empty
I'm so empty, so empty
I'm running out of time
I'm running out of time

I'm running out of time
Yeah

3. Echo Chamber

Have you tried turning it off
Taking a break?
When nobody is watching do you make the same mistakes?
Is it loud in there?
It's ringing on and on
White noise poisons all your choices
Haunting you in different voices

Praying I go deaf in this echo chamber
Praying I go deaf in this echo chamber
Something's gotta give sooner or later
Praying I go deaf in this echo chamber

Have you tried turning it off
Looking away?
The free mind of a stranger sears the tether to your brain

It cuts you deep
You feel ashamed
The only thing that matters
Is what you can create

Praying I go deaf in this echo chamber
Praying I go deaf in this echo chamber
Something's gotta give sooner or later
Praying I go deaf in this echo chamber
Echo chamber

Praying I go deaf in this echo chamber
Praying I go deaf in this echo chamber
Something's gotta give sooner or later
Praying I go deaf until there's nothing left

The free mind of a stranger sears
The tether to your brain
The only thing that matters
Is what you can create

4. Carbonized

Mirrors and smoke, hit it with a fresh coat
Mirrors and smoke, hit it with a fresh coat

Mirrors and smoke, hit it with a fresh coat
If the shit floats, run it through the main line
Sugar sweet with a bitter beat, strip the paint
You're just praying your prey remain snow-blind

Conspire to keep them quiet
You run for cover but you lit the fire
Now your terror's at an end
Disappear into the wind
Never to be seen again

We're wearing idol eyes
Pretending we're onside
It's not a reflection I want to glorify

Hide for now
Once the sun comes out
You'll be carbonized

You're making shadows shift
Like an incubus
You'll be carbonized
It serves you right

I've been talking to my conscience
It's soft-spoken and self-conscious
Training my instincts to be cautious
To remember that you're toxic

We're wearing idol eyes
Pretending we're onside
It's not a reflection I want to glorify
Carbonize

I looked up to you
But you looked down on them
Predatory through and through
And you call yourself a man

And you call yourself a man

Hide for now
Once the sun comes out
You'll be carbonized

You're making shadows shift
Like an incubus
You'll be carbonized
It serves you right

Hide for now
Once the sun comes out
You'll be carbonized

You're making shadows shift
Like an incubus
You'll be carbonized

I've got no heroes anymore

Hide for now
Mirrors and smoke, hit it with a fresh coat
Hide for now
Mirrors and smoke, hit it with a fresh coat

5. Abomination

Re-emerging as a monster
Re-emerging as a monster
An imposter out of lifelines
Manning a dead mind
Abomination

I'm a slave to blame
Trying to hide my shame
Now I'm growing numb
In the burning sun
Abomination

Re-emerging as a monster
An imposter out of lifelines
Manning a dead mind

Lifeless, I'm a baron desert
Void of self-belief
Tired desires are dying in the heat

I'm a slave to blame
Trying to hide my shame
Now I'm growing numb
In the burning sun
Abomination

(Silenced)

Re-emerging as a monster
I'm an imposter out of lifelines
Manning a dead mind
Abomination

I'm a slave to blame
Trying to hide my shame
Now I'm growing numb
In the burning sun
Abomination

6. Plenty

I'll never be ready to meet a memory
I'll never be ready to meet a memory
A memory that abandoned me

Falling silent, going mad
I've gone walkabout
With the parasites in my head
Far too quiet, it's deafening
As I pick away at the surface
The itch burns through my skin

When the dirt crushes my bones
And the worms call me their home
If I'm asked to start again
I can't pretend I'm ready
I can't pretend I've had plenty

Drown this broken dream
A taste was quiet enough for me
My mind's too unsteady
Stay away from me, please

I'll never be ready to meet a memory that abandoned me
I'll never be ready to meet a memory that abandoned me

When the dirt crushes my bones
(I'll never be ready to meet a memory)
And the worms call me their home
(A memory that abandoned me)
If I'm asked to start again
I can't pretend I'm ready
I can't pretend I've had plenty

I'll never be ready to meet a memory
A memory that abandoned me
I'll never be ready to meet a memory
A memory that abandoned me

7. Is This a Test?

Is this a test
Or just a consequence?
A side effect
Of endless emptiness
Is this a test
Or just a consequence?
A side effect
Of endless emptiness

Is this a test?

Human nature
System failure
Signals crossing
Wondering
Human nature
System failure
Signals crossing
Wondering
Is this a test?

Is this a test?

Is this a test
Or just a consequence?
A side effect
Of endless emptiness
Is this a test
Or just a consequence?
A side effect
Of endless emptiness
Is this a test?

Is this a test?

8. Xen

Listen, feel, keep your lips sealed
Nothing's real beyond your ideals
Hold it in, shed a new skin
Contamination, sent into a headspin

It doesn't have to be poetry
That doesn't mean that it can't speak
If it's forged in sincerity
The message is ours to bleed

Tell me what it means to you, keep it that way
We're never gonna feel the same and that's okay
Have no shame

Listen, feel
Nothing's real
Hold it in
What are you suppressing?
There's no good
No bad, just the connection
To the sound, got lost in the reflection
Left you bound
Outside your true intentions
Cursed with endless, worthless questions

Tell me what it means to you, keep it that way
We're never gonna feel the same and that's okay
Have no shame
Just breathe in, savour the taste
It's healing, break down the gate
With no restraints
Embrace

Just breathe in, savour the taste
It's healing, break down the gate
With no restraints
Embrace

9. Cypher

Turn me into a battery
If I get to be who I wanna be

No "One", no prodigy
Will speak for me
I can't touch, I can't feel
A false prophecy

The truth or a lie, this painting of thought
Black and white lines, vividity drawn
Don't drown me in a sea of machines
Don't drown me in a sea of machines
Call me back in

Turn me into a battery
If I get to be who I wanna be
No "One", no prodigy
Will speak for me
I can't touch, I can't feel
A false prophecy

"...to say yes, it may be a game, but it's a ghastly game, it's a grim game. It's like a child who's caught a fly alive and is picking the wings off it. The universe is that sort of scheme. It's a trap. It's the thing that gives you hope, always dangling possibilities in front of you to keep you going but then it grinds you up. Then it revives you a little like a master torturer, keeping a person alive in order to experience pain."

Call me back in

No "One", no prodigy
Will speak for me
I can't touch, I can't feel
A false prophecy

No "One", no prodigy
Will speak for me
I can't touch, I can't feel
A false prophecy

Turn me into a battery
Turn me into a battery

10. Nova

I've finally opened my eyes
I think I needed the time
Needed to lose my mind
To find my way to the surface

I didn't see the signs
Thought I was doing fine
Turns out that I was blind
A lie had burrowed deep into my soul

My spirit exploding
Chaos fire, infinite release
In pieces, I'm falling
A life I can't repeat
My spirit exploded
And I picked up the pieces
At least, what I could
I hope the glue holds like it should
But I can see the cracks

My spirit exploded
Waking up in the shadows
The cycle runs its course
A lesson to be taught
But I can't lift myself up off the floor
My spirit exploding
Chaos fire, infinite release
In pieces, I'm falling
A life I can't repeat

My spirit exploded
And I picked up the pieces
At least, what I could
I hope the glue holds like it should
But I can see the cracks
My spirit exploded

11. Inamorata

You drained my lungs of water, so I could breathe
My ankles locked in concrete, you broke me free

Repaired my twisted vision and calmed the tide
You told me I was home-bound, now I've arrived

My love, inamorata
I'm whole again
Your light, it's shining through me
My flame ascends, now it's my turn to burn for you
It's my turn to burn for you

I know, it's not been easy to bear my weight
But from your boundless patience, my panic dissipates

So if you stumble
I'll wear the strain
My loyalty it's been ingrained

My love, inamorata
I'm whole again
Your light, it's shining through me
My flame ascends, now it's my turn to burn for you
It's my turn to burn for you

Aurora, break my dawn
Rebuilt, reshaped, restored
Aurora, break my dawn

My love, inamorata
I'm whole again
Your light, it's shining through me
My flame ascends

My love, inamorata
I'm whole again
Your light, it's shining through me
My flame ascends, now it's my turn to burn for you
It's my turn to burn for you

Aurora, break my dawn
My love, inamorata
I'm whole again

12. Obsidian

In cycles of voracity
We radiate human decay
Lost within the lines we've drawn
It's futile, we're too far gone
We're too far gone

We're infinite points to a star
Transformed into a meteor
We crashed into the universe
And turned it to obsidian
We're our own gods
Holding torches to the cauldron
Desensitized to burning corpses

In cycles of voracity
We radiate human decay
Lost within the lines we've drawn
It's futile, we're too far gone
Too far gone
It's futile, we're too far gone

Tired catastrophe
Radiating in our skin
Closing in on the glitch
Breaking down from within
Eclipse our sin

We let the poison win
We're too far gone

13. Dark Solitaire

I'm falling, falling in
Into my head

I'm falling, falling in
Into my head
Walking against the wind
Dark solitaire

I'm roaming these paper streets
Hoping no one will find me
You wouldn't even recognize my face

I'm navigating pain
I'm circling the drain
Maybe the journey will open up the sky
The ghost of a memory won't let me say goodbye
Won't let me say goodbye

I'm falling, falling in
I'm still trying to be what I see in myself
I'm still trying to be what I see in myself
I'm still trying to be what I see in myself
But I need help
