THE ACACIA STRAIN LYRICS

1. Our

I never thought I would see you again.
(Where have you been?)
How can you sleep at night
How can we live with ourselves
Turn a blind eye
Cover your face
They are the old and the new
They are nothing at all
We were wrong
Cover your face and smile
Dreaming in red
Living in blue
Dying in black and white
Cover your face
We've been watching you.
(Let it all pass through, The heart doesn't want the truth)

2. Only

We all fall
Into the gaping maw
Into the shattering abyss
We all fall
Into the endless void
No such thing as dying
Collapsed lung
Collapsed reality
Relapsing through eternity
We all fall
Time has no shape, it's an entity
It comes in waves
Frozen and floating
Vanishing without a trace
Frozen and floating
Pushing farther away
Frozen and floating
No signs of life
Left somewhere God would never find.

3. Sin

Collapsing backwards
We should have never answered
No reconnect
God of death
The water made wood
The soil turns to snakes
And then the sky collapsed
And then my mind collapsed
This is not a spiritual war
Our only sin was giving them names
Knowledge passed
I was never asked
Stampede upon the mind
The pearls become the swine
The tower has fallen
The staircase leads to nowhere
This is an attack on the mind
I want you to feel what I feel
I want you to see what I've seen
They come crawling
Walk alone

4. Was

They always come crawling back
And whatever walks there walks alone
Only the dead know
Tears in the fabric
Lurking in the shadows
In the doorways of unreality
He says his name is death
The truth is, he is something worse
Experience the true reality
Beyond the curtain
Beyond all sight and sound
Consciousness collapsing all around us
This is the veil being lifted
They waited.
It comes
It comes in waves
Wishing away the sand
Washing away all you love
The days of darkness
The absence of light
Washing away all you love
Breath of God
Gaze of the old
It comes in waves

5. Giving

Whatever walks there walks alone
She takes as much as she gives
She can see us
We are immortal
Whatever walks there walks alone
These Gods do not believe in us
Whatever walks there walks alone
No end in sight, no sight in the end
Whatever walks there walks alone
Self sacrifice for the living and the dead
Whatever walks there walks alone

6. Them

Spirit tomb
Sacrificing fear
We will throw orchids, not roses
Burning on the funeral pyre of the world
Sweet glowing rot dancing in our nostrils
Scent is memory, remind us to stop breathing
Gravity is life pulling us to the grave
Heaven is a void of light
You are tied down by your emotions
Spiral through the creeping void
The tomb is open
Anyone that comes near
Will retreat in fear of what is inside
Devoured by failure
We have determined that you are not worthy
Gravity is life pulling us to the grave
Heaven is a void of light
You are tied down by your emotions
Spiral through the creeping void

7. Names

The cradle hangs heavy above the circling wolves
And when it falls they will kill us all
The ghosts that haunt this earth
Are different than you think
No ethereal plane, just incomprehensible realities
(We have disappeared but we are inevitable
And the cell begins to divide)
The decision was your own
You chose wrong every time
You will feel no pain
Head back into a dreamless sleep
Catatonic unreality
Anomalies of the mind
There is no wrong, there is no right.
They have returned
The sun sets on us all
Daylight
Twilight
Full dark
I am in the doorway
Tomorrow brings new plague
I can see the end (of it all)
Tomorrow brings new plague
Creatures from beyond reality
Offering ecstasy
Meet the new normal
Escape the bonds of consciousness
Slip through, slide in
I can't believe what I've seen
No one should
What have I done
Abandoned all I held in my heart
Violent beings without form
Everyone will feel the same pain
Sorry will never be enough
I T C O M E S I N W A V E S
