Discoveries - 2011

-Dispossession-

Lost in a valley of smoke
I lose sight of those I love
I can't live in this dream
Wondering the world a lost soul

A shell of a man
Frozen in a toxic trance
A shell of a man
Frozen in a toxic trance

Unfamiliar reflection stare at me
These eye are not my own
Running from my demons in this endless valley

Uh

Show me the way (show me the way)
Because I no longer know
Right from wrong

I know what has to be done
The smoke will settle
The demons will come
And I will be torn apart (apart, apart, apart, apart...)

Exposing my weakness the world will see
What I never, what I never, what I never fucking wanted

As I stare at your face, soaked in disgrace
What is the price, a judgment of life
I cry out in this dispossession

Exposing my weakness the world will see
What I never, what I never, what I never fucking wanted

They crowd around me
Here to take their share of my mind
I can no longer
Muster the strength to face them alone, all on my own

They whisper echoes in unknown tongues
I refuse to absorb their toxic words
I've forgotten how to love
Searching behind locked doors in my mind

They whisper echoes in unknown tongues
I refuse to absorb their toxic words
I've forgotten how to love
Searching behind locked doors in my mind

Cast aside the fear of reality
Face the fucking world

Cast aside the fear of reality
Face the fucking world
Oh

-Abrasumente-

Oh

Remake
Reform the consciousness
Let the light bleed
Out of your eyes and mouth
Seek the answers to the questions that constrain
your mind to this futile dimension

We are the severed minds disconnected from the masses
A world of free thinkers

We are longing for an understanding of the universe
Around us when we barley understand the universe within our minds

Free your mind

Who will answer the call when it comes from within?
Who will answer the call?

I stand before you baring a flood of change
I stand before you to undo and rearrange
Remove the blindfold
Realize the lies told
And see the world with new eyes

Abra su mente a la realidad
Abra su mente a la realidad

We are the severed minds disconnected from the masses
A world of free thinkers

We are the severed minds disconnected from the masses
A world of free thinkers

So take this life and hold it
For it's about to change
Bleed out the coursing veins
Who will answer the call when it comes from within?

-Comatose-

I'll let the silence speak for me
The words are like stars unimaginable in my sky

I can see what the eyes cannot see
I can hear what the ears cannot hear
I can feel what the heart and mind cannot feel
I am imagination

What if dreams were reality?
We could reap a world we've sewn
Lost in imagination
Lost in a world that is not your own

Watching my world crumble away
While I'm searching for meaning and purpose in this life
Flourished in knowledge and gifted with a pure existence

I can see what the eyes cannot see
I can hear what the ears cannot hear

I've given myself a reason to live for
On my own, I've given myself something to live for
On my fucking own

(On my own)
(On my own)
On my own
On my own

Upon this desolate rock I cast my soul into the sky, into the sky
Liberating myself and opening my mind to the universe
Liberating myself and opening my mind to the universe

Together we will shine a light like stars burning through the dark
Together we will shine a light like stars burning through the dark
Together we will shine a light like stars burning through the dark
Through the dark

-Transcending Dimensions-

All my life I've been searching
for something to put my faith into, to give my life to you
And I will love you in this world and if there's a next
And I will love you in this world and if there's a next
Amongst the chaos of this world
And the overwhelming tide of responsibility
I remember how long it's been since I've felt warmth within my heart

A cold world where love would transcend this dimension
A continuous source of inspiration

And I've been waiting for all of my, all my life
I've been searching for something to put my faith into, to give my life to you
And I will love you in this world and the next

All I want is to remember what it's like to love again
This blistering cold, I've grown so fond of left me in a heartless state

And after all these years I've finally realised that
maybe I was never meant to love, or be loved
And if you want to run away
I can take you there
I can take you somewhere beautiful and it can be our world
And if you want to run away
I can take you there
I can take you somewhere beautiful and it can be our world

-Discoveries-

[Instrumental]

-Corruption-

I opened my eyes to the world
Day after day I searched for answers
As time went by I grew further away from who I was

I felt lost chasing a ghost
I might never find
But what I found I wasn't prepared for
Everywhere I look I see crime without punishment
I just didn't know where to begin

I am holding onto what bit of sanity I have left
I am holding onto what bit of sanity I have left

Come fight with me my brothers
And claim our world that's been violated by the hands of the corrupt
I am but one, but together we hold the key to a new dawn of prosperity

We've created a seed that has spread to the core of humanity
Killing itself from the inside, unintentional suicide

Money and corruption ruin the land
Crooked politicians betray the working man
Pocketing the profits, treating us like sheep
We're tired of hearing promises we know they'll never keep

I will become the end of this sad and bleak corruption that reigns on all
I will become the end of this sad and bleak corruption that reigns on all
I will become the end of this sad and bleak corruption that reigns on all
I will become the end of this sad and bleak corruption that reigns on all

-Exposure-

I'll tear the memories out
of my subconscious and piece together where I went wrong
Sewn together with the strands of lament I'll cloak myself
in a veil of remorse and regret that keep me
bound to a world that will never forget
So as I walk through the street eyes and voices consume my mind,
they stare ambiguously

Here I am with all my insecurities, all my imperfections,
crying out to a world that just won't listen
Lend me your ears, your hearts and your
minds and discover what's missing

These words are the only thing keeping me from
falling into the darkness where my thoughts are no longer my own
In the arms of my kin, my family
In the hearts of those sincere
In the face of adversity
Here I am
Here I am

Free from hindrance, from all doubt,
from all the voices calling me out
Free from hindrance, from all doubt,
from all the voices calling me out

Here I am pouring my mind and heart into a world that doesn't listen
That doesn't listen
For those who remember
For those who care
Remember, you are not alone
You are not alone
You are not alone

Here I am
Here I am stuck in a world that never listens (never listens)
Here I am pouring my heart out, I am not alone
I am not alone

-Metamorphosis-

I've lived life drained
Void of emotion
I've lived life drained
I will never become this again

I will rise over this
I will rise over this
Oh

Smash through obstacles with a heart of gold and a mind of steel
Smash through obstacles with a heart of gold and a mind of steel
Nothing will stand in my path

I've been consumed by my thoughts
I've become what I've always despised
The only way I can absolve myself is with your lies

I've been pushed to the edge
Where my mind knows no bounds

Never again, never again
Never again, never again
My mind has released itself from this anguish
and I will overcome this suffering
I will be whole and I will overcome this suffering
I will be whole once again

I will be whole once again
I will be whole once again

And, and I will become the answer to my own prayers
And I won't let you bring me down
Oh

I will remain

Nothing you say can tear this heart away from me

-Solace-

Leave me be
I grow tired of all your lies and false accusations
My only consolation

Painful, yet relishing
A melody of relief
These voices wage wars in my mind

I retire from this world and embrace silence
To rest my weary head and escape modern life

Oh the beauty of a realm with eternal peace

Leave me be
I grow tired of all your lies and false accusations
My only consolation

The beast that grows inside of me
The beast is solitude

Deep, dark, death-like solitude
The mist will settle on still water, go!

I won't let this go
I won't let this go

Oh the beauty of a realm with eternal peace
Where the silence comforts this heart

In this life there are answers buried deep within yourself
In this life there are answers buried deep within yourself
In this life there are answers buried deep within yourself
In this life there are answers buried deep within yourself

-I Shook Hands With Death-

So stand the fuck up
Show me that this life is worth living
Oh take this day and call it your own
This is your chance to redeem yourself

In a world where every single day counts
The clock strikes twelve and I'm still in bed
Staring at the ceiling
Will I ever amount to anything?

The inevitability of life
And the calamities of this world
Fuck
I will never know

I will never know
I will never know

Ah Is there a purpose in this life to be fulfilled?
Is there a way to make sense of a life that will one day end?
Will anything I do be remembered?
Will these words live to be read by the eyes of a new generation?
By the eyes of a new generation
By the eyes of a new generation

I will be there for, for you I will be there

Pick your-fucking-self up and realise that one day you will be a memory

Ah, ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Dust to dust

So stand the fuck up
Show me that this life is worth living
Oh take this day and call it your own
This is your chance to redeem yourself
This is your chance to redeem yourself

I will never know
I will never know
Uh

Singularity - 2013

-Genesis-

Every single moment time will melt away my life
What choices do I have?
How do I know is wrong or right?

How do I speak of what I see through my own eyes
Without telling you that the truth you’ve known is all a lie?
Stop living the lie, existing just because you can

I can be the dreamer
I can, I am

-Scarab-

Crawling through the burning sand
Just a man who's lost in time (lost in time)
Distant memories of a life
That flow like waves within my mind

Look upon these calloused hands
As they move without a thought
Lucid wisdom in every atom
The golden mind of Thoth

We are the gods who have lost ourselves in forms
Like a scarab in the mind we fester in the soul
I have felt the burden of pain
For the last time

You want the fucking truth?
So you want the fucking truth?

The truth is we all suffer
The truth is we all suffer
We all suffer in life
We all suffer (suffer) in time

Beat me down, beat me down
Again and again, again and again
Beat me down, beat me down
Again and again, again and again
Beat me down, beat me down
Again and again, again and again
Beat me down, beat me down
Rain hell on me

In life we all suffer
But I will find my way
Through the darkness
This is the truth
In the back of my mind
It's been hiding away
For me to find

Dancing in the fire
We burn together
This pain will never end
Dancing in the firev We burn together
This pain will never end

-Windbreaker-

When the wind breaks before our very path
We are swept away (swept away)
I hear the wind howling my name
When the wind breaks before our very path
We are swept away (swept away)
I hear the wind howling my name

Leaving behind me everything I thought that i should be
Everything they told me was right
Leaving behind me everything I thought that I should be
Everything they said about life
We have made the sacrifices
We have been patient for long enough
It is our chance our time
Our time
Our time to rise the fuck up
I will break the wind

This road it leads so far away from home
I breathe in the air down a road to nowhere

Streams of oxygen soothe our forms
We long to breathe in the air around us
I feel the kiss of the breeze against my face
We long to feel the air around us

I'm packing up
I'm leaving here
Don't know when I'm coming back
Close your eyes and I disappear
I'm packing up
I'm leaving here
Don't know when I'm coming back
Close your eyes and I disappear
Floating free throughout this life
Reshaping my thoughts, time does wither the mind
And in due time

The life I thought I wanted I never seem to find
It might be dark, it might be cold
So if I ever feel like turning back
I just breathe and remember
Where I am (where I am) inside (inside) the dream
I will break the wind
When the wind breaks before our very path
We are swept away (swept away)
I hear the wind howling my name
When the wind breaks before our very path
We are swept away, swept away (swept away)
I hear the wind howling my name

Break!
I will break the wind

-Worldeater-

You think you see the world
I'll tell you nothing's how it seems
You think you see the world
I'll tell you nothing's how it seems

Organ of intuition, suppressed and maimed
Believed to be "Nothing but a Dream"
Dimethylated spirits on fire in me
Burning from the inside

Divorce from nature
Exile from Eden, confounding of tongues in a world full of lies
Why can't we open our eyes?

You think you see the world
I'll tell you nothing's how it seems

I've seen the world with the clearest of eyes
A world of fear, it's loud and clear and no surprise

They watch us from above
Can you feel the chaos overtaking us like a never ending plague
They watch us from above crying tears of blood
Crying tears of blood for the souls of the world (souls of the world)
They watch us from above
Now I hear the voices of an ancient race
Peering through the veil of time and space
Emerging from the void I am reborn
I see the world for what it really is
Distorted visions of heaven
I have discovered there's hope in my heart

For I am One
I am One
I am Love
I am Bliss, I am Everything
I am Everything you fear
Everything you've ever known
But don't be scared (but don't be scared), for I am here

You think you see the world
I'll tell you nothing's how it seems
All your dreams
Nothing's how, how it seems
All your dreams, all your dreams

-Quantum Flux-

Set me free!

Feeling all the love, I swear that it's in the air
Leaving me floating forever, into infinity
I can see the colours dance when I close my eyes
Witnessing mysterious design
I can feel my body rush
From the love inside of me

Can't you see the joy of life is right before your eyes?
Infinite bliss, infinite love
Take a chance
Close your eyes
And just dream
It sets me free
Why can't you see the joy of life is right before your eyes?
Infinite bliss, infinite love
Take a chance
Close your eyes
And just dream
It sets me free

We walk around blinded, like children in the dark
So cold and so empty
How did this even start?
It's time to remember
What it's like to feel alive
Feel alive

Set me free
Set me free
Can't you see the joy of life is right before your eyes?
Infinite bliss, infinite love
Take a chance
Close your eyes
And just dream
It sets me free
Why can't you see the joy of life is right before your eyes?
Infinite bliss, infinite love
Take a chance
Close your eyes
And just dream

Feeling all the love I swear that it's in the air
Leaving me floating forever (forever), into infinity
Quantum fluctuations project into the air
Leaving me floating forever (forever), into infinity

Infinite potential
Infinite potential

-Dream Awake-

Pay close attention
Or else you'll miss what's happening
Pay close attention
Or else you'll miss what's happening

We worship the sun
Yet we burn in its rays
So we seek out the dark
So we seek out the shade
It's such a mix of emotions
We call it regret
Chaotic patterns unfold
It's such an elegant mess
So I'll embrace all the pain
It's time to face all my fears
I've had enough of this game
Oh how it brings me to tears
And I can only be sure
One day I won't be alive
Stepping into the future
With the brightest of eyes
Let time stand still
For one second, please just stop

Oh my
It's frightening
It's right in front of my eyes
Oh my
It's right there
It's right in front of my eyes

Wake up from the nightmare
And become the dream
Wake up from the nightmare
And become the dream
That you've always been
That you've always seen
Wake up from the nightmare
Because you are the dream

I stand tall, grounded here on this earth
I'm looking up at the sky
With the stars in my eyes I'm alive
I'm looking up at the sky
I see life was my dream all along
I'm looking up at the sky
My self
My world
My people
My home, my everything
My self
My world
My people
My home, my everything

-The Calling-

I am here to show you there
is hope in a dying world
(I can hear the calling)
And if you don't believe me you won't
even see that what you're living in is hell
You're living in hell
I am here to spread and speak the truth
I am here to heal and do what's right
Dissolving fear, spreading the light

I am here to open and free your mind
Together we travel into realms of evolution
The greatest mystery
We are the fractulated tendrils of this reality
All my will is bent on change
The universe is ours to rearrange
Follow my lead and in fact you'll see
We create our reality

I am here to show there's hope in a dying world
(I can hear the calling)
And I won't stand by
And watch the dream wither and die
This is my destiny in life
I can hear the calling

All my will is bent on change
The universe is ours to rearrange
Follow my lead and in fact you'll see
We create our reality
All my will is bent on change
The universe is ours to rearrange
Follow my lead and in fact you'll see
We create our reality
All my will is bent on change
The universe is ours to rearrange
Follow my lead and in fact you'll see
We create our reality
All my will is bent on change
The universe is ours to rearrange
Follow my lead and in fact you'll see
We create our reality

-Masquerade-

[feat. Drew York of Stray from the Path]

The scent of lies is in the air tonight
The scent of lies is in the air tonight
The scent of lies is in the air tonight
We dance in a spell of lust
Those eyes of yours I cannot trust
The scent of lies (the scent of lies) is in the air tonight
We dance in a spell of lust
Those eyes of yours I cannot trust

You all act innocent but I have seen your true face
Stop lying to yourself
You're nothing but a fucking disgrace
You're a fucking disgrace

How can you trust anyone if you can't even trust your friends?
A masquerade of lies will kill us all in the end
The worst part of it all is I'm exactly the same
I'm looking around the room
I'll be the first one to blame
The scent of lies is in the air tonight
We dance in a spell of lust
Those eyes of yours I cannot trust
The scent of lies (the scent of lies) is in the air tonight
We dance in a spell of lust
Those eyes of yours I cannot trust

Take another look inside of yourself
Look at the mess you've made
Take another look inside of yourself
You're living in a masquerade
You're just a two-faced piece of shit
I'll make sure all you cowards quit
So hide yourself behind a mask
In a room of double faces
You can never hide what's in your past
Nothing changes at all, I'm still exactly the same
I'm looking around the room
I'll be the first to blame
The scent of lies is in the air tonight
We dance in a spell of lust
Those eyes of yours I cannot trust
The scent of lies (the scent of lies) is in the air tonight
Those eyes (those eyes), those eyes

To everyone who's held me up and everyone who's brought me down
I will never forget your faces, your voices
To everyone who's held me up and everyone who's brought me down
I will never forget your faces, your voices

Wink and smile for a while behind a mask
In a room of double faces
You can never hide what's in your past

-Singularity-

[Instrumental]

-Aspire-

I'll carve my own name into the earth
I'll carve my own name into the earth
Don't tell me how to think
Don't tell me how to live my own life
I make my own decisions
And I'll pay the ultimate price

A collection of memories (memor
ies) How could I ever forget? (How could I ever forget?)
This is a journey of lessons (this is a journey of lessons)
From my birth to my death

A path of opposites
And all the choices in between
I'm running scared through this poetic tragic movie scene
The days turn into weeks
Months then turn into years
We'll stand the test of time
Our hope will persevere

I roam across the land
I wish to seek and understand
The truth about life and about who I really am
My blood is still young and karma's knocking at my door
It's time to stand up
This is my life I'm fighting for

It's time to set the record straight
No more excuses, no more complaints
Leave everything behind, get up and live your dream
Don't let it fade away
We are all born to be free
Fuck who you want me to be
Born to be free

A path of opposites
And all the choices in between
I'm running scared through this poetic tragic movie scene
The days turn into weeks
Months then turn into years
We'll stand the test of time
Our hope will persevere

I roam across the land
I wish to seek and understand
The truth about life and about who I really am
My blood is still young and karma's knocking at my door
It's time to stand up
This is my life I'm fighting for

I roam across the land
I wish to seek and understand
The truth about life and about who I really am
My blood is still young and karma's knocking at my door
It's time to stand up
This is the life we're fighting for
This is the life we're fighting for

I'll carve my own name into the earth
I'll carve my own name into the earth
I'll carve my own name into the earth
I'll carve my own name into the earth

Node - 2015

-Soma-

Daydreamer
Rise and shine
Daily deja vu
Yet still surprised
Watch the weary world with greyscale eyes

A millionaire in my mind
With a pocket full of lint
Confined to a puzzle where the pieces don't fit
Stare into a broken mirror
Reflecting shards of fear
Daydreamer
Now's your time
I refuse to die here

I refuse to die here

I see a prison of a city, destined for collapse
I see the worker bees buzzing in circles
Fighting over scraps
I see a concrete garden
Of lead and steel trees
I see the clouds swell with synthetic disease

A visionless man can't balance the scale
The court of conscience slips secrets on the gavel
Written in Braille
Lie just beyond my fingertips

Daydreamer
Rise and shine
Daily deja vu
Yet still surprised
Watch the weary world with greyscale eyes

A millionaire in my mind
With a pocket full of lint
Confined to a puzzle where the pieces don't fit
Stare into a broken mirror
Reflecting shards of fear
Daydreamer
Now's your time
I refuse to die here

I refuse to die here

-Obelisk-

Time in constant motion,
Like the shifting desert sands
Slipping through my hands

Chasing down the minutes,
That turn into days
Seconds get shorter,
As years fall away
Chasing down my dreams
Under borrowed light
A mirage in the distance,
Escaping my sight

Driven to live or driven apart
What's inside us when we depart
Driven to live outside of regret
Time is finite, the clocks are set
Driven to live or driven apart

I realize my flame is burning away
Starward searching I will find my way
The power of the mind ready to combust
I will show you fear in a handful of dust

Combust

My flame is fleeting,
But I will live and learn
Rise and burn, Tick and Turn
Rise and burn

Time in constant motion,
Like the shifting desert sands
Slipping through my hands

Driven to live or driven apart
What's inside us when we depart
Driven to live outside of regret
Time is finite, the clocks are set
Driven to live or driven apart

Combust

-Node-

You can be the change

Pain is the elixir that keeps us entertained
Flowing through a looking glass
Numbing stinging eyes of shame
Absence rinses guilt away
But our conscience is still stained
You can be the catalyst
The ripple to the wave

You can be the change

One small step will shake the earth

We're sedated into submission
Apathetic addicts
Hooked on tunnel vision

Mindless progress is a dire setback
Humanity is slipping through the cracks

Let the pathways through our hearts guide us
To a universe where love survives us

You can be the change

One small step will shake the earth

Let the pathways through our hearts guide us
To a universe where love survives us

-Ohm-

The earth gets smaller with everything i see
A technicolor picture on a black and white screen
There's a blackout on the ground
But an energy above the trees
Just past the edge of sound
So climb the ladder with me

Wanderer
Survey the shrinking globe
All your troubles seem smaller
The farther you go
Wanderer
Never coming home
All your troubles seem smaller
The farther you go

Shed the dead weight
Flight will follow
From the island that world will surely swallow

Falling our of orbit
My thoughts scrambled and distorted
Sailing through space in a panic
To escape the static

Escape the static

Wanderer
Survey the shrinking globe
All your troubles seem smaller
The farther you go
Wanderer
Never coming home
All your troubles seem smaller
The farther you go

How clear is the air up there
Breathe easy
Breathe easy as you leave the atmosphere
Breathe easy

-Nameless-

[Instrumental]

-Rot-

So cold my soul's numb
Like an icy breeze on solstice morning
The worst enemy’s one that’s homegrown
This is more than just a faceless warning.

Don't let the world rot
Don't let the world rot
Hanging by a thread they just putrefy
Our blood our birth our sky
And we will not stand by
Don't let the world rot

So warm the sun burns my soul
Like the fossils in the earth they take my breath

Black blood bleeding heart filled stone
Take the power away from the hands of death

A web of minds connected
Take purpose,
Take action
Cause a reaction
Entangle the spiders
Make sense of this mess
A mind at large
Is a power they can’t repress

We are all connected
We are one you and I
Yeah we will not stand by

Don’t let the world rot

Omnipotent mind at large
Sick of living underhanded
This is our life we command it
Go
We can’t all hide in fear
A time of reckoning is near
We are all connected
Don’t let the world rot

We can’t all hide in fear
A time of reckoning is near
We are all connected
A web of minds connected
Take purpose,
Take action,
Cause a reaction
Entangle the spiders
Make sense of this mess
A mind at large
Is a power they can’t repress

Sick of living underhanded
This is our life we command it

-Leech-

Follow me underwater
Until the searchlights leave the shore
Follow me underwater
Until we find what we're looking for

Plastic oceans, plastic farms
Cover your footprints like a band-aid on a broken arm

They found the pipeline through the soul in the soil
I thought this place never changed
But now the reefs are bleeding smells of oil
And the forests are up in flames

You fell asleep, you fell asleep, you fell asleep
While your bed burned
You fell asleep, you fell asleep, you fell asleep
While your bed burned

Give me a reason, tell me why we lost our reason
Tell me the truth, not an excuse
Cause we have everything to lose

Plastic oceans, plastic farms
Cover your footprints like a band-aid on a broken arm

There's a cancer in our lifeblood, so silently it grew
The streams of least resistance poison me and poison you
There's a virus in the air, that drags the wind out from my chest
I don't see a way out
All I see is a sphere of unrest

Show me a way out
Show me a way out
Show me a way out

Follow me underwater
Until the searchlights leave the shore
Follow me underwater
Until we find what we're looking for

Plastic oceans, plastic farms
Cover your footprints like a band-aid on a broken arm

You fell asleep, you fell asleep, you fell asleep
While your bed burned
You fell asleep, you fell asleep, you fell asleep
While your bed burned

-Impulse-

So alone in our digital world

The walls are closing in
Shrinking down to the box in the palm of my hand
The shock has settled in
Fibers and wires
Feed me the link that we desire

Every circuit getting smarter
Every signal getting stronger
But our ties are getting weaker
And I see us sinking deeper

I see it sinking deeper

Flawed relations of ones and zeroes connecting us to our digital heroes
An anti-social network where everyone's a fucking expert

I see it sinking deeper

Hollow as a hologram
Electricity without the spar
Hearts left to flicker and fade
Out in the dark

So alone in our digital world

Impulses flowing through my veins
Impulses flowing through copper
Flowing in waves
It feels so close
Yet so far away

Every circuit getting smarter
Every signal getting stronger
But our ties are getting weaker
And I see us sinking deeper

I see it sinking deeper

The walls are closing in

-Weightless-

Weightless my body
Floats in eternity
Weightless beyond the earth's gravity
A euphoric perpetual gaze
I taste the light of days

Beneath a luminescent haze
I cross the convoluted maze
Guided by familiar sight and sound
I let go of what weighs me to the ground

Weightless my body
Floats in eternity

Weightless beyond the earth's gravity
A euphoric perpetual gaze
I taste the light of days

-Ra-

I am the tear in the gravity,
The universal truth is my reality,
In a drifting space,
Where the dark draws near
I am stronger than fear

Collapse under the horizon
The ruins of a thousand stars
Illuminate who we are:

No drive
No direction
Purify
My perception

Sail on
Through the rift between the sky and ocean
Sail on
Find the peace that keeps your world in motion

Stare into the face of the sun
It melts away a shell of wax
To show the world how fucked I've become:

No drive
No direction
Purify my perception

There's a desert in my head,
But an oasis in my dreams
Where veins glow in leaves,
And illuminate the breeze

I will drag my being
To the edge of the beginning
Never still, never idle
Sever me from the endless spiral

Sail on
Through the rift between the sky and ocean
Sail on
Find the peace that keeps your world in motion

Lost inside a drifting space,
Where drifting days interlace
And everything I saw so clear,
Dances then disappears

I need to be grounded
But the plates keep shifting
So I look for my place
Where this space stops drifting

-Animate-

The narrow road is all I know
No map to guide us
No compass beside us
The narrow road
The great unknown
The grater sacrifice grants the greatest gift in life

No more assembly lines of aspirations connecting carbon copy clones
Every artifact is marching like commodities of flesh and bone

The consistency of our censored thoughts
Tread a static course

Ordinary people: your outlook is lethal

Chiseling away imperfections
Until rough edges are same and smooth
The tools have now become too blunt
To break any of the rules

Post-modern minds bleached blank and clean
Drawing pixelated lines
In duller shades that my eyes have ever seen

The narrow road is all I know
No map to guide us
No compass beside us
The narrow road
The great unknown
The grater sacrifice grants the greatest gift in life

No more assembly lines of aspirations connecting carbon copy clones
Every artifact is marching like commodities of flesh and bone

Post-modern minds bleached blank and clean
Drawing pixelated lines
In duller shades that my eyes have ever seen

We're not defined by a blueprint if we re-write the plans
So will you paint paradise with the stroke of an artist's hand?

Save us

If you thought You knew it all
Don't shift your view,
You might slip and fall
A long way down and down this rabbit hole
If the tunnel runs any deeper
You might come out the other side of the world
Maybe upside down you'll be able see
This isn't what it seems
We are far from free

We're caught in the undertow
Deeper and deeper
Into the unknown
We're caught in the undertow
Follow the leader
Down with the undertow

Action floats in limbo
Like driftwood in the sea
Under CCTV, so dig down deep
The more you uncover,
The more you disbelieve
The more you will discover
We are far from free

Heroes exposing
Corruption in who we obey
Blow the whistle from a burning stake

The whistle blows from a burning stake
Corruption won't keep revolution at bay

We're caught in the undertow
Deeper and deeper
Into the unknown
We're caught in the undertow
Follow the leader
Down with the undertow

Spied on, Lifelong, Collection 24/7
Archives of all we've done
Satellites track our lives beyond the skies
Not even your mind can hide
From big brother's eyes

It's time to take back our home
Thank you Mr. Snow

-Colourwave-

I am what I create

Lashed by tongues of electric fire
Shimmering rivers crystalline
Run through frozen glimpses in time
And
I just can't ignore this sight
Pouring down on me relentlessly
I just can't ignore this feeling
Deafened by rolling waves of realisation
Frozen, mesmerised in the rain

In my darkest days
I only saw the shades of grey
In a world that drips in colour

Droplets of life form
In freefall in convalescence
They hammer into the soil
Carving new streams of essence,
Through turmoil

I am just as fluid,
As immortal and lucid,
As the earth that morphs
In the violence of a thunderstorm

My life is what I make
Of my trials and my mistakes
My life is what
I make
I am what I create

In my darkest days
I only saw the shades of grey
In a world that drips in colour

-Savage-

Rise up

Rise up
Break free as one,
See through the eyes of the sun
Witness the bitter end of all

We peeled our stares from the mysteries of the universe,
And drew them down onto each other
A waterfall of knowledge cascaded into bullets for our brothers
Led to our deaths by providence
When we were born to discover

We were born to discover
Humankind, seek the sky
That we were born to discover

Wash away utopia with the tears of the undead
Slipping, sliding, fighting our way down the steepest descent
We'll meet our fate
Spellbound primates bathed in red
Witness the bitter end

Told to be a delusion,
We cast and sealed our seeds of evolution,
Wisdom age old, dormant inside all
Until it's time to break the mold.

Break free as one
See through the eyes of the sun
Break free as one
See through the eyes of the sun
Look down at our earth
Through the eyes of the sun
Humankind's lines don't divide
Through the eyes of the sun

Rise up
Break free as one

-Solar-

In an age where stars only draw us in
Gaze is swept from our mother who birthed us here
She's stormy, doubted and over-relied on
Take a good long look at that horizon

We bleed it dry
We multiply
And soon we'll say it's time to fly
So scorch the host

Silenced by the solar wind
Forests evergreen wither to sand
There's still shade in this wasteland
Shadows of towering glass span
As far as you can set your sights on
Take a good long look at that horizon

We bleed it dry
We multiply
And soon we'll say it's time to fly
So scorch the host

She's stormy, doubted and over-relied on
She's stormy, doubted and over-relied on
She's stormy, doubted and over-relied on
Take a good long look at that horizon

Open your eyes
Two worlds collide
Open your eyes

We bleed it dry
We multiply
And soon we'll say it's time to fly
So scorch the host and watch it die

Watch it die

-Heartmachine-

I'm breathing just to pass the time
I forgot to eat tonight
Just running down the clock today
With hope the ache will go away

Body starts to shake
Head begins to spin
Leaves me in its wake
I'm paralyzed with pain

We suffer in a heartmachine
Unstable feeling everything
Pins and needles stitching up my skin
We suffer trapped in a heartmachine

Hope is strange, sometimes it leads you on
There's no exception
When you're halfway gone
A second chance flash of light that brought me to my knees
A burning vision etched in memories

Body starts to shake
Head begins to spin
Leaves me in its wake
I'm paralyzed with pain

We suffer in a heartmachine
Unstable feeling everything
Pins and needles stitching up my skin
We suffer trapped in a heartmachine

Time heals the wounds
It builds up strength inside
Facing the truth, there's nothing left to hide

We suffer
Unstable
Pins and needles
We suffer trapped in a heartmachine

-Intuition-

Why
Do we subscribe
To a universal thread
That weaves the fabric of our lives
Ask why
Without batting an eye
We're so accepting
Question everything
Question everything you know

Fracture of doubt,
Crack to a chasm in an instant
Swallowing whole
The broken bones of our broken home
Into an ocean of disorder
But my view through the water's crystal clear,
And I've got something that you need to hear.

We don't know who we are, we wander never knowing
Feudal stone walls stop these oceans overflowing

Virtuosos wrote your thoughts in a symphony
Paradigms, transcribed
Under the supervision of conductors
To our dissonant chorus,
We orchestrate their composition,
They call it order

We don't know who we are, we reap what we are sewing
Fabric of our lives catches our eyes we abide unknowing

Wander,
Question
Find your
Obsession knowledge beckons
Find your
Obsession

We don't know who we are, we wander never knowing
We don't know who we are or why we are following
This script of reality
Where we become the casualty
Conditioned in
An intellectual prison
Fuck this system

Follow your intuition

Wander,
Question
Find your
Obsession knowledge beckons
Find your
Obsession

Question everything you know

-Zero-One-

Comatose
In the arms of Morpheus
Drifting away to a place
Where there's more than this

Blindfolded visionary, eyes lost in the black and bleak
Chasing footsteps in the dark, lost for where they'll lead
Idols and stars shower light on the sublime
Blinding your mind's eye
Bright as your dreams shine

Blinding your mind's eye
Reclaim your life

Reclaim your life
From the iron grip of social design

Reclaim your life
Your cycle around the sun is eclipsing

Like most of us I was misled into a swarm of noise and distortion
Eroding my deepest thoughts before my inner voice had spoken
To remind me I'm gifted with the power to dream
To see what has never been seen
But I handed it over, consumed by culture
Cloaking the eyes of the visionary

Comatose
In the arms of Morpheus
Drifting away to a place
Where there's more than this
Hypnosis

-Fade-

When nothing could be done
To salvage what was lost
The chosen one
A victim of passion

He feels the hate rise up
A war that can't be won
The mourning son
Survives through disaster
The soul that suffered

All that's left behind
Is a memory that fades
Like a rope around your neck
Binds you to a resting place

And the price that I have paid
When I watched you pass away
Is the everlasting pain
And a memory that fades away

When all he had was gone
A place we once belonged
The chosen one
Finds an existence

Second coming life
Daylight pushes on
The mourning son
No longer a victim

All that's left behind
Is a memory that fades
Like a rope around your neck
Binds you to a resting place

And the price that I have paid when I watched you pass away
Is the everlasting pain
And a memory that fades away

The soul that suffered sleeps tonight
In the ashes of his demons
Demons

Daylight holds no salvation
From this labyrinth of desolation
The fiery hells in his mind
Will burn to the ground in time

All that's left behind is a memory that fades
Like a rope around your neck
Binds you to a resting place

And the price that I have paid when I watched you pass away
Is the everlasting pain
And a memory that fades away

-Render-

Pilot of the biomachine
Manning the controls of a babbling monkey
The circuits behind the interface can't be seen
So the truth is up to me
Is this life but a dream

Is reality all my senses perceive?

It tears me apart from the inside
The story we've accepted
With malleable minds
Dogmatic perceptions designed
In egotistical pride
Have led us blind

Short of sight
Wondering why our lives feel like they're lacking meaning
We have stopped believing
This is just a ride

Is reality all my senses perceive?
Is what I touch and I see all that lies in front of me?

We wonder why our lives feel like they're lacking meaning
We've stopped believing
This is just a ride

-Veridian-

He saw the life slip from her emerald eyes
Confusion, illusion, had soaked up her mind
She clutched his hand, whispered her soul,
"I never wanted to grow so old
Life's agony, turn off the machine
Let me leave this world with dignity."

Just let me leave this world

Bed of nails under the guillotine
Wake me up when my heart stops beating
When my heart stops beating

Wipe those tears of grief away young man
Let me leave this world
Let me leave this world in peace
Raise me from this bed of nails
And let the angels carry me away
Away
Carry me away.

Bed of nails under the guillotine
Wake me up when my heart stops beating
When my heart stops beating

Let me leave this world

-Paragon-

The last of our martyrs seeks no adoration
From his castle in the air of eternal vibration
We won't lose sight of the lasting words he wrote
We won't lose sight of what matters most

A shining beacon of wisdom
Armed to the teeth fearless conviction
Now that he's gone we're going to miss him

Immortalised between the lines
Conceived by a human heart inside

He once said to us, my friend hope is a prison
But the hope his chords sung only spread love
In a hollow crowned kingdom

There are no fighters left here anymore
See you on the other side of that open door

We wont lose sight
We wont lose sightv Of the lasting words he wrote
We won't lose sight of what matters most
