PLAGUEIST LYRICS

1. Hydroplane Daydream

Sliding and spinning, relying on reflex
The flash of an instant removes all control
Explosions of memories start flooding the senses
Blurring the guardrail that beckons me home
A lifetime wrapped around fractions of seconds
Mistaking the hands on the wheel for my own
I feel the periphery closing
So this is it
This must be how it was written to end
To all my family and friends:
I will wait for you beyond the fence
I've always said that when I fall asleep in death
I would fear nothing
This feels no different
As calm acceptance welcomes fate
The foot becomes weighted
To greet an old friend
I hear the impact before it happens
And see the result, distorted and bent
But just as fast as it came
I am awakened
Blink a few times
Draw in a breath
Still traveling over the safest of pavement
This accident's always been all in my head
Now I'm left with nothing but daydreams
Of what might have been
Memorizing lines and shapes
That I can't seem to connect
I feel the periphery closing
So this is it
This must be how it was written to end

2. Soundproof Box

The most damaging of lies
Are ones you come to believe yourself
So hide behind your broken smiles
Try to conceal how hideous you really are
It's just a matter of time before the mask rots
And you're found out
Inside this soundproof box we've built for ourselves
You've traded a gift that few possess for a prison cell
Fading out into your thoughts has become your coffin
The only one giving up is yourself
I've never seen you so lost
Inside this soundproof box we've built for ourselves
The mouth falls open but the voice has been lost
We'd be better off jawless
You dare to face this on your own
Did you really think your fragile bones could carry this weight alone
Your arrogance will bury you
Inside this soundproof box we've built for ourselves
When will you wake up and see what you've become
Asleep inside a coffin
I've never seen you so lost
My eyes have seen too many miracles
To choose to become blind now

3. Space-Time

It lures you in with radiant flickers of light
Just to collapse on itself
And what awaits is only death and darkness
A pitch black nothing
That finds a way to rivet both of our eyes
While we decay from inside
I saw the end
I know the outcome
We've been misled
I know the outcome
There's nothing left out there except unmanned ghost ships
I saw the end
(This was all a pipe dream)
I know the outcome
(Lights and clockwork)
We've been misled
(Inside empty machines)
I know the outcome
And what awaits is only death and darkness
A pitch black nothing
I won't be around to watch
When your limbs decide to disjoint themselves
I've started digging graves
A place for memories and keepsakes
We can never become whole again
If we believe human life is nothing
More than aimless molecules
And as your skin begins to atomize
Don't say I never warned you
With one last thought before you close your eyes
What will your mind latch onto
Do you see?
There is no escape

4. Continuum

Now our lives are lost
Lost in robotic monotony
Holding onto broken compasses
Turning nowhere
The gears are missing teeth
And you just keep pretending
Mindless and motion-sick is all we're meant to be
You'd rather disconnect than risk feeling something
The lies we tell ourselves to sleep at night
Open your eyes
We are the grain of sand that claims to know an ocean
And drowning in our own insignificance
Until we lift our heads to look fear in its face
There's no escape from all the nightmares that replay
In our waking minds constantly
That sinking feeling inside our guts (constantly)
Is our subconscious reminding us (constantly)
We're made of more than rust-worn mechanics
So we repeat the infinite orbit
Against our true wiring
Confined to the lines we've been given
Never asking ourselves
How much more have you and I to learn

5. The Truth of Our World

…I'm still alive
