Telos - 2014

-Force Fed-

Do you remember what
it was like to feel alone?
Dragging me through hell at my weakest hour
Bury me alive and walk over my grave like I'm nothing
Like I'm nothing

Tell me, tell me how you really feel
Tell me all the things you've done because you were force fed
It's your choice to lose your state of mind
Your own free will (your own free will)

Force fed lies
Force fed failures
Force fed dreams that fall apart
Force fed lies
When I lose control of all I hold
Force fed failures
My life will slowly fade to black

And I finally realize
That I'm the one that can take control
of myself (take control of myself)
I am the one that is in control
The world never stood a chance

And now I understand
This is all worthless!
This is all worthless!
Unworthy (unworthy)

Everything that you've asked me to be, I've lost
And now I'm running around in circles
Trying to find my own sense of discovery (of discovery)

I've been sleepless
Trying to wrap my mind around how I can be useful
I've been defiant because I know what's in store (know what's in store)

Force fed lies
Force fed failures
Force fed dreams that fall apart
Force fed lies
Force fed dreams with a new start

-The Great Divide-

Torn down and abandoned
This shell of a body fails me now
I've dipped my cup in the fountain of youth
A feeble attempt soon forgotten

All sense of reality has been removed
Now I crave for something more

Lost in the fabric of time between the dead and divine
How profound this state of life
I've given everything to taste the eternal (eternal)

Like a cancer it ate me alive
I've lost my sanity, my heart and my will to survive

I've fallen victim to the dark limits of time (of time)
Oh the irony, for I am the culprit
I am the victim, yet I am the culprit
I am the victim, and now I am the culprit

This is the great divide
I have created the fault line
This is the great divide
And I have created the fault line

My time has come, what have I done?
I've lived to account for these sins of old
My days are done, I'm calling out
But this voice, it fails me now

This is the great divide
I have created the fault line
This is the great divide
And I have created the fault line

-Wormtongue-

Bow to me, the cowardly
Crown me king of the vile

See how you've fallen so far
Pursuing foul endeavors to find who you are
And I know, you think that time will heal all
But you're falling faster, your throne is shaking

When was the last time that you stood for what you built?
When will you ever learn to face this fear?
You're screaming out for help
But I can't hear you, no I can't hear you now

Blind ambition, you only see the ones you want to blame
Don't turn your back away from the sky
Darkened intention, I won't stop until you see your lies

You walk the path of hypocrisy
Evil has crowned you king
And now, when it's all said and done
You will be made low
Cast to the depths of the sea

Deceitful tongue, I'm calling your bluff
They'll watch as I rip you out
Deceitful tongue, I'm calling your bluff
I'll bury your throne in the sand

This is the end of your reign, king of corruption (king of corruption)
This is the end of your reign, king of corruption (king of corruption)
And I won't settle for anything other than justice

This is your chance for redemption
To right the wrongs of affliction
This is your chance for redemption, your final call (final call)
This is your chance for redemption
To right the wrongs of affliction
This is your chance for redemption, your final call

Deceitful tongue, I'm calling your bluff
The world will know you're corrupt

See how you've fallen so far
Pursuing foul endeavors to find who you are
And I know, you think that time will heal all
But you're falling faster, your throne has collapsed

-Transcendence-

I never had to be anything
Until I saw myself in the mirror
At that point, what I saw was lost hope
And knew there was time for a change

This world will be forgotten
Just don't leave it empty now
This world will be forgotten
Just don't leave it empty now
Sometimes we paint these pictures, just to start all over

We realize where these colors take us
They're bleeding through the canvas
To reproduce our image into something more distinctive
Into something more distinctive
These thoughts grow into newfound efforts
And time never seems to be on our side (on our side)
Until we hang these art forms on the walls around us
And continue to be unsatisfied

And I don't wanna live like this again
I thought you said it would be so simple
And I can't continue to live like this
Because my own plans aren't so wishful
Because my own plans aren't so wishful

I dream and dream but never seem to be on page
with my own visions (my own visions)
But I'll take the path where my Maker leads me
And strive to be a tool in His hands

-Lackluster-

I've returned to a city rebuilt
Only to watch it fall again
How entirely common is it for one to retreat?
Ignoring every sign from the depths of proof
You have truly seen miracles
But still question my existence every day

I've seen Your name be used to gather a profit
But what difference does it make between you and I? (Between you and I)

We've all sold God
For this half-hearted formula
Bearing what we want from this earth
Then coming back to You for answers in the end

When will our youth break through struggle?

I'm guilty yet forgiven
Oh how we take for granted the second chance
There is no point in taking yourself to a degrading level

We've all sold God
For this half-hearted formula
Bearing what we want from this earth
Then coming back to You for answers in the end
We've all sold God
For this half-hearted formula
Bearing what we want from this earth
Then coming back to You for answers in the end

I've returned to a city rebuilt
Only to watch it fall again
When will this cycle end?
When will this cycle end?
When will this cycle end?

-State Of Gold-

Death will hold nothing against us
Death will hold nothing against us

I see a revolution bound for freedom
Taking hold of what's rightfully theirs
The only path we see is forward
And our torches stay held high

Break down these walls
We have no problem becoming martyrs for our generation
Stand up and reach out
And realize that you're not alone
The walls around will crumble and sometimes you'll be slowed down
But you'll rise like a phoenix and the ones around will pull you out

I know we won't be shaken
This is the path we've taken

We will move forward
We know we're not alone
If they say it's not our virtue, then we prove them wrong
We will not run away because it's all we've known
They'll start losing their mind due to the fear of growth
They will see it in your eyes
They will see it in your actions
The passion in your life means more than all your past mistakes

Open the gates
Our youth will avenge this evil
Open the gates
And let your spirit free

I know we won't be shaken
This is the path we've taken
Can you receive the truth alone?

We will move forward
We know we're not alone
If they say it's not our virtue, then we prove them wrong
We will not run away because it's all we've known
They'll start losing their mind due to the fear of growth
They will see it in your eyes
They will see it in your actions
The passion in your life means more than all your past mistakes

Stand up and stand tall
And hold your torch high
See your future is written in the sky

I see a revolution bound for freedom
Taking hold of what's rightfully theirs
The only path we see is forward
And our torches stay held high

-Bitter Years-

A common outlook that's so misunderstood
Is you don't lose your faith in God by blaming Him for your anger
Behind humanity constantly failing (constantly failing)
You've lost all faith in yourself
And you can't continue to live like this for the rest of your time

Is this the life that you hoped for?
Is this the life that you made?
Burning every bridge with the ones you meet along the way

Death rests at the tip of your tongue
Your words spread like poison across the horizon
Death rests at the tip of your tongue
Your words spread like poison on their lives

You believe we're so easily misguided
Always bringing false hope
You break the silence when you find out who you are
Look at me, I need to know how you got this far

I wish you could see that desolation's not foreign to you
All your decisions have left you for dead
The crown of apathy rests on your head
And you've yet to be phased
The crown of apathy is burned on your soul

The only time you'll ever wonder where you went wrong (where you went wrong)
Is when your world falls apart on you
And you have nothing left to lose

You want to bring back the ones that you abused
These bitter years of this life you're living
They have nothing to prove

You breathe fire and ice while walking a thin line
Making it known you can't make up your mind
You breathe fire and ice while walking a thin line
Making it known you can't make up your mind
You breathe fire and ice while walking a thin line
Making it known you can't make up your mind
You breathe fire and ice while walking a thin line
Making it known you can't make up your mind...

-Paper World-

We fall apart, to get back up
We learn the rules to just get by, that's not enough
We fall apart, to get back up
We learn the rules to just get by, that's not enough
Born to be broken
Born to be broken

This is a human uproar
These are the plagues that contain our souls
We are so easily crumbled and shaped like a paper world

This is the point where I told myself I would never be
Your ideas tempt my mind with something that I never wanted

Even with these constant reminders
But the immoral overlays the benefits
What have they sold us?
What have they sold us here?

In a world where We thrive off hurt and confusion
It's been whispered in our minds that it's just a phase
That it's just a phase
We listen, we accept thinking it will pass
But this state of intertwining's overdue for its last
We listen, we accept thinking it will pass
But this state of intertwining's overdue for its last

I have discovered yet another analytical failure
And its agony flows through our veins

We have strayed from the disease that can take our system hostage
Never will I compare myself to the gold that you claim
Never will I settle in this grave that you call home

It's not enough, it's not enough, it's not enough
I won't settle any longer
This is the point when you suffer

We fall apart, to get back up
We learn the rules to just get by, that's not enough
We fall apart, to get back up
We learn the rules to just get by, that's not enough

-The Wager-

Eternity awaits me
And I know that we're all broken vessels
Trying to find our way in life
To the ends of the earth
I've searched high and low to no avail
My time was wasted

Why did I ever place my faith
In things that couldn't save me? (Couldn't save me)
Everything was all for nothing
Every breath I took in vain
Everything was all for nothing
Empty words that hold no weight

And now I understand (and now I understand)
That it was all in vain
Here I kneel before my Maker reaching for words
Reaching for words

Ears to hear and eyes to see
But never comprehending
Ears to hear and eyes to see
But never understanding

(Eternity awaits me
And I know that we're all broken vessels
Trying to find our way in life
Eternity awaits me)

Why did I ever place my faith
In things that couldn't save me? (Couldn't save me)
Everything was all for nothing
Every breath I took in vain
Everything was all for nothing
Empty words that hold no weight

Time stands still
I'm running out of breath
Everything around me breathes, except for me

-Harbor Lights-

How do we make up something so insincere?
This world is drawn near to all these falling patterns
They make our actions and voice we speak
But living in abandonment we shall not reap (shall not reap)
Who else is tired of decaying?
I haven't lived for far too long (far too long)
When my life starts to stand for nothing
Maybe I can explain it through a song

Can you help me find where this direction's heading?
Another path to take, another setting sun
Where are we leading each other?
Is it hope or disease?
Marked with self-righteous cowards afraid to be washed clean

Give me a sign, give me a reason to prosper
Give me what I thought I wanted until I completely fall apart here
Give me a sign, give me a reason to prosper
Give me what I thought I wanted until I completely fall apart here

Sometimes it's hard to hold my tongue when all I see around are wolves
Devouring every step forward that I make

I need to bring myself to safety
I need to find my way back home

If only I could dine with the pigs
When did the swine become something so tasteful?
I scream so loud, but nothing seems to make its way out

I'm on my way home, covered in filth
But that's the way they'll take me
Oh that's the way they'll take me

Take me so I can know your plan
Collect all my fears in the palm of your hand
Oh brother, why are you so concerned with what's right? (What's right)
I've turned away from the past
And I don't plan to be a light (to be a light)
Because I want to be something brighter
And more prone to ignite (more prone to ignite)
Because I want to be fire and cause the world to ignite
I want to be fire

-I-

[Instrumental]

-Nascent-

An entire world at hand
A lost mind in the fight
No sense of direction
Nowhere to hide
Red in tooth and claw
Perpetual violence
Unrelenting assault
With only instinct guiding me
Red in tooth and claw

Unrelenting assault
Is this the only way to
Survive
I open my eyes I realize
Space between the body and mind
In spite of revelation
I'm compelled to persist

The pursuit of wisdom forsaken
I fight to exist
I find myself in a world
Propelled by the force of my own will
Scratching out a life with my own two hands
No time for seeking clarity
In this never ending scarcity
Survive

I open my eyes I realize
Space between the body and mind
Survival
I open my eyes I realize
Space between the body and mind
Unsafe and unspoken
This is all that I know
A buried identity
I stand alone

Survive
I open my eyes I realize
What else can be made of this life

-Noumina-

This is give and take
We’ve all wasted away in vain
Lost in a life of false endeavor
Lost in a life of self-seeking gain
We bind shoulder to shoulder
Let this dry spell end
We're weary from thin air that fills our lungs
If iron sharpens iron, we’re longing to be used
To fix our gaze collective

Colorless I grow
I can’t flourish on my own
And now with helpless hands may we come alive?
Our numbers down, thinned out,
Expire or thrive
Beg the favor of our earth below and sky above
We bind shoulder to shoulder
Let this dry spell end

We're weary from thin air that fills our lungs
If iron sharpens iron, we’re longing to be used
Send the rain, or we’ll cut out the roots
Colorless I grow
I can’t flourish on my own
And now with helpless hands may we come alive?
Our numbers down, thinned out,
Expire or thrive

From the dust we’ve come, to the dust we’ll go
Mother earth, father sky, let us reap what we've sown
Colorless I grow
This is give and take

We’ve all wasted away in vain
Send the rain
Saturate
This is give and take, and now we see clearly

Everything breathes
From the dust we’ve come, and now we see clearly
Everything breathes
Colorless I grow
I can’t flourish on my own
And now with helpless hands may we come alive?
Expire or thrive

-Overlord-

I'll grab the world by the throat
Conquer, destroy, divide
My only master is time
Disguised from beginning to end
Confidence in consequence

Rationale ascends and from the depths of dust I've watched us spring
And I pursue the power calling me
Rationale ascends and power calls me
Rid my way of the feeble at heart
What a great disdain I've learned for you
Losing grip of a mystical mind

I feel my iron fist clinching our fate
Here, I will define our course
Hear me, declare me king
Now, I see, the beauty of dominion surrounding me
Then, you sought, for validation from the stars
And now I decide the Earth won't tell my future

I'll write my own
I'll grab the world by the throat
I'll grab the world by the throat,
Conquer, destroy, divide
My only master is time
I confess
Your expense is my gain
I confess
Your entire life fed my flame
And to tell the truth, I wouldn't change a thing
When all of the ones who I loved, I traded for nothing

-Order-

The Order finds me
Havoc flees
I find myself, my reason
I am only a fragment of her physique
We say unto you, dispose of all you possess
Embrace us
Law scribed on our hearts
The Order states
My purpose and my place:
To be a part of the body

Enslaved to truth, yet freed of my primal ways
Fed up with seeking glory
Unsatisfied
Won’t you submit to her law?
Give up yourself
Join the righteous fight
We say unto you, dispose of all you possess
Obey us
Law scribed on our hearts
The Order states
My purpose and my place:

To be a part of the body
Enslaved to truth, yet she frees us of our destined bane
Pledge to us
She'll see to it that you're delivered truth

Pledge to us
Eternity is her guarantee
We say unto you, dispose of all you possess
Obey us
The Order finds me
Havoc flees
You find yourself, your reason

We are only a fragment of her physique
We say unto you, dispose of all you possess
Obey us
Law scribed on our hearts
The Order states
My purpose and my place:
To be a part of the body
Enslaved to truth, yet freed of my primal ways

-Enterprise-

I've explored a thousand
doors and seen a thousand shut
An empire at stake, I know what must be done

Made my way to the top without ever looking down
A glorified slave no more,
This is the pursuit
I play the game to win,
Get to the bottom of this
Turn a blind eye to your blind faith

I will not bow down
I control my fate
From the top of the pinnacle I’ll build my throne
A free world
Free will

Set apart from confinement that bound me
My eyes are open, yet this is a dream
I wont wait to receive the truth
I'll fight to find it
I won't be mislead down the mountain

I'll reach its peak
I'll climb it on my own
From atop the pinnacle, I’ve built my throne
Free world
Free will
Set apart from servitude
My eyes are open, yet this is a dream
I play the game to win,
Get to the bottom of this
The world now held in my palm

Discovery alone, brought me to where I belong
I know I'm safe here
A slave no more
This is the pursuit
I play the game to win,
Get to the bottom of this
Turn a blind eye to your blind faith
I will not bow down
I control my fate
Show me something more than the words in your script
Prove it to me

-Empath-

Truth is a matter of context
Every idea, every value
Can you prove it better than the rest?
We're all the same
You're no better than the rest of us

You forged a tomb
Disguised as a shelter
You lit the fuse
Now face your deadline

The innocent sentenced to a hell
Pursing capital, turn your head away as they plead for your help
Well they all had a story to tell
Now, try not to look away as they burn
So much damage done,
How long until you realize
This is our last shot?
Truth is a matter of context

Every value
Can you prove it better than the rest?
We're all the same
You forged a tomb

Disguised as a shelter
You lit the fuse
Now face your deadline

-Ikigai-

[Instrumental]

-Prism-

I see the world in every shade
I know exactly who you are and who you need me to be

But is it all for one, or one against all?
Always forsaking the past and fearing what lies ahead
And this pursuit of certainty has only ended in rivalry
Lives engulfed by the friction, united only by division
"Now we have the light"
Your collective battle cries,
"Our notion will prevail, all others will surely die"

"Now we have the light"
Forever chasing a new harmony
Can't you see your light is a fabrication from a false source?
Ever-changing, transformation hasn't run its course
You and I will never see the same
Set apart by the differences on this page
It's okay, I'll embrace my solitary state

I see the world in every shade
I know, exactly who you are and who you need me to be
It's one against all

-Pandemica-

A new light that guides my way
A new path beneath my feet
Breaking through the stone where roots are showing, a tree is growing
There is no "one way"
No need to follow suit.

Every stage has its purpose
Every branch will bear its fruit
Can you see earth's on its deathbed?
Fading light, on borrowed time
Can we let go of our pride?
We must relinquish this fight

And now I see we've found a new way
We have discarded the desire to follow suit
Every stage serves its purpose
Every branch will bear its fruit
Can you see earth's on its deathbed?
Fading light, on borrowed time
Can we let go of our pride?
We must relinquish this fight

Cast regard to the sky as the tides rise
Virtue shallows
The masses' demise:

A world at war
Can you see earth's on its deathbed?
Fading light, on borrowed time
Can we let go of our pride?
We must relinquish this fight
