VOTUM LYRICS

1. Satellite

The light is weak enough
To let you speak
Ignore the right to fear
You're bound by what you dream
Curiosity
The fruit of a plastic tree
Come closer I am here
And be my
Satellite
That's what you are
My sinner
Come closer
I am here
And be my
Dying light
You're burning down
There's no way out of me
There's one way in
Just trust my eyes, you'll see
My voice, its subtlety
My lips absolve
Is this fake all you need?
Don't you want it?

2. Greed

See they know
The way you dream
An open book of distress
'Cause they feel me'
I think they know what you're dying for
'Please make them feel me'
The pictures you would absorb
Again!
Let them in!
Feed that greed!
See they know
The womb of yours
The warm surroundings' sway
'And they can feel me'
The entertaining snare you absurd
'Cause they can feel me'
Again!

3. Spiral

Come. Again. Float. Again
Everything's gonna be fine
Brother. Just look at you
You used to be a patsy treated good
Sister. Blind when forced
You used to call this slavery. Loyalty of love
Oh. I thought it over
It's coming coming
Inside you
And you can feel it
The spiral
It's coming after you
Upward with the spiral
It's coming after you
Sane. Freak. Sleeps. Within you
Let. Him. Speak.

4. Blackened Tree

I'm glad to see
Your cliché pure behaviour
There's no need for your fright. Sweetest child.
Infected mind. Fragile mind
With the same high hopes
Since you gave us the right to protect you now
From seeking
Another blame to initiate. Within you
Another faith to stimulate. Within you
We brought you home
Away from the pain of your saviour
You should seek what we want you to find
You have to fear the other
You need him to disappear
Keep calm and clear the way for us
In between them and us there's no room to hide
Another blame to initiate. Within you. But without you
Another faith to stimulate. Within you. But without you
Another mind to penetrate. Without you
We used to water the blackened tree. Without you

5. Simulacra

Here you have your
Pocket god
Cold in beauty
Touch it now
Share your secrets
Safe and sound
Watch this peep show
Suck it in now
Breathe it in now
Take it in now
Shut your fucking mind
Think you're special
Mediocrity
You go on and sell yourself
The machine wants you to swallow
Go on sell yourself
The machine wants you to follow
Praise your joy now!
Watch your porn, boy
Drenched with sweat
Cold in beauty
Pocket god
Pocket slut
Think you're special
Mediocrity
You go on and sell yourself
Machine wants you to swallow
Go on sell yourself
Machine wants you to follow
Choke on your joy now!

6. Prometheus

Confusion
Fell you, muddy ground
Compassion
My eternal prize
Father, please forgive them
They don't have a clue
Preying on the saviour
Fading, you're fading
Staring at my kind
Poor you
Silly beings
Hiding, struggling
Blind you!
And I can't justify it
Their failure
The will. The failure.
And I can't just deny it
It kills me
Don't play with fire
Failing. You're failing
Where's my tricky friend
Of gloom
I'm disappointed
Tired
Of your
Inconsequence to use fire
Don't play with fire!

7. Horizontal

Good enough to slink, to creep, to crawl, to stray between the needs
Be a good son, play your part
Set your sight on passing time, your smile, your joy, your merchandise
Good enough to play your part
Welcome to your times. Blind son
Save your prayers. Walk with me
Want to save what's inside
Save what's still there
The innocence
Want to save trusting eyes
Hopeful eyes
Inner light
Come now
To grow, to hope, to climb and fall
To try, to form, to decompose
Be a good boy, take your dose
To overrate the musts you've got
To be prepared to pay the price
Be a good son, take it now
Want to save what's inside
Save what's still there
The innocence
Want to save trusting eyes
Hopeful eyes
Inner light
The sweet irony
The circle never breaks
Oh sweet irony, help
This circle never breaks

8. Vertical

Clearer. Clearer
Unaware there's something in the air
An illusion in the air
We're breathless now
We've never known how to take a breath
We've forgotten what's up there
Dreamy-eyed child
Staring at the sky
You can't deny the ground is bleeding. The roots are like chains
Why don't you fly now?
Defying
Defying gravity
Don't melt your wings. Fly!
Fake
Clear, it's clear now
Don't you dare take a cowardly look down
Fearless. Fearless now
Passing stone-dead angels falling down

9. Last Word

Vanished
Into thin air
You deserve to sleep
You deserve to be free
From yourself
And still many hope
That you're silently observing
See
To see
The epitome of loss
The epitome of absence
Of you
Fly up high
