TESSERACT LYRICS

1. Luminary

You could raise the dead
With those terribly troublesome eyes
Maybe you'll always be bad
Maybe you'll always be the same

Are you alone, locked inside
That prison in your head?
You walk through the crowd
Lost in the sound
Invisible to every passing eye

This waking life is not what it seems to be
No time to talk, no air to breathe
Reminisce the scent of a single flower
What butchers cleave, the wolves devour
But if you consume it you will surely die
When you're buried with your tenderness
You'll take it to your solitary grave

Are you alone, locked inside
The prison of your head?
You walk through the crowd
Lost in the sound
Invisible to every passing eye
Invisible to every passing eye

2. King

You died within me
The boatmen came to sail me down the river
Bind me up with visions of a blind man
I operate this way
Turn nothing into gold
Death on such an ugly day
You dine like a king on top of the world

You show us all
That forgiveness is the weakest call
And now revenge
Against that grudge inside your tiny head
Remove the crown of absolution
Let the retribution fly
The king has all the king has all
But words can kill and maim and take their toll
And you massacre my dreams at night
And eat away at every thought
Until we take control
The king has all totalitarian and carnivore

Bow down submit to me and kiss the ground
Until it's safe to breathe and coexist again
Bow down submit to me and kiss the ground
Until it's safe to live and coexist again

They're taking away the freedom to be just you
They're taking away the freedom to be just you
They're taking away the freedom to be just you
They're taking away the freedom to be just you
But the sun always shines for you
They're taking away the freedom to be just you
I operate this way
You'd kill to find me
But the crown above my head is deadly
I operate this way

They're taking away the freedom to be just you
They're taking away the freedom to be just you

3. Orbital

I can't be farther away from endless light
One voice in the light
Silence and clarity, obvious destiny
One heart, one mind

4. Juno

All the silhouettes of passers by
The sound of streets and familiar cries
Will vanish into the illusion
No serenity and never compromise
There's no dignity as you fraternise
With your delusions, so set me free
Take all you need and I'll be waiting

Together we're jaded
And now with enervated
Wings ablaze I'm burning
The wreckage of my life
I nosedive to the furnace
Set fire to the stars at night
They got me this far
The judgement now begins
I'm bleeding from the inside

Vanishing into thin air
My body hits the floor much slower than before
Crisis man overboard, emergency abort
I watch them dancing
All the fireflies of war gather
All the damage that's been done: paid for
Won't you reveal yourself to me
As I rise above the deep
Won't you reveal yourself to me

All the fireflies above gather
All the damage that's been done: paid for
Now won't you save yourself for me
Won't you save yourself for me

5. Beneath My Skin

Boundless sight
Tightening veins beneath my skin
Forming shapes within my dreams
Jaded thought
It rips my throat
Here I live under my skin
I suppose you pray for me

Antipathy, dismembered
Antiquity in sonder
The feelings that I hide
For you I keep them deep inside
And I hide them deep within my skin
What men will destroy for you is time

Are we free to wander the world?
I'm not sure, I don't think so
I wait my turn to live without my skin
I wait my turn to live without my skin

Take another piece of me
And it just might be enough
To drag me under beneath the waves
Take another bite from this worthless corpse

Take another bite from me and wait your turn
And it just might be enough to drag me under
Take another bite from this worthless corpse
And it just might be enough to drag me under

6. Mirror Image

As the dust begins to fall
I see an image of it all
It keeps me awake, keeps me awake

Separated from the earth
Lights flicker then I burn
It keeps me awake, keeps me awake

The lightning struck into a mirrored image of the truth
It keeps me awake, oh, it keeps me awake
All the stars begin to fall, a meditation to absolve
It keeps me awake, oh, it keeps me awake

I'm half crazy
Searching for the sign of you
Hoping that you'd pull me through
The hand of God you forced me to

I'm half crazy
Longing for the love of you
Begging on my knees to you
Weeping for the honest truth

I've been dreaming
Love is not a dangerous thing
Anxious to the core of being
Love is not a dangerous thing

I've been dreaming
Love is not a dangerous thing
Anxious to the core of being
Love is not a dangerous thing

7. Smile

Calm down don't run again
I'll soothe you: I am mechanical
Brave soldier kill again
Before we all expire

Think for yourself and be the renegade
Don't give in to him and his ugly ways

I can feel you getting closer
I can sense you start to smile
I see colossal eyes
There's a shadow on the sun
And no wonder why

Drain all the sick away
You've proven you are an animal
Stalking me: you are a mannequin
And your form is menacing

This is another one of his ways
To control me

I can feel you getting closer
I can sense you start to smile
I see colossal eyes
There's a shadow on the sun
And no wonder why

8. The Arrow

You wasted so much dammed time on it
You wasted half your dammed life
Now watch it fall to dammed pieces, pieces

It's not about the love I know
I count her on the one hand
Too many torn apart
And thrown aside in pieces, pieces

You wasted so much dammed time on it
You wasted half your dammed life
Now watch it fall to dammed pieces, pieces
You wasted so much dammed time on it
You wasted half your dammed life
