Awkward Comfort
05:32
|
|||
|
Seldom has it come to pass,
Yet never shall we see the last,
Always rolling, Gathering mass,
If you could catch a glimpse,
Or hold it in the palm of your hand,
It would destroy you,
Sometimes at night I lie awake,
And think of how it devastates,
Sit back and watch it escalate,
If I could trap the thought,
Or take a running jump off the edge it would just follow,
This awkward comfort speaks inside my mind,
If I may be the one to believe the lie,
Getting up to allow myself to fall back down,
Find a place in time and space to sleep for a while,
A blast of continuity pushes my membrane,
A rush of blood straight into the shell,
It comes in ways in mysterious ways,
A shot of pure reality grabs my infant hand,
I am petrified of nothing,
Awkward comfort up from the centre,
Slowly changing, never waning,
Sticking to the same old one track course,
Plowin' on through the all long gone,
The folly of faking, fearing and aching,
And still contemplating how you can go wrong,
This awkward comfort speaks inside my mind,
If I may be the one to believe the lie,
Getting up to allow myself to fall back down,
Find a place in time and space to sleep for a while,
A dose of negativity to take the sting off,
Like scratching just below my surface,
It comes in ways in mysterious ways,
A strain of what's in store for me to take my breath away,
I'm three times over your limit,
Awkward comfort down from the zenith,
It's here, It's real, In the now, And it can hold it's own
Now I'm in the zone
A blast of continuity pushes my membrane,
A rush of blood straight into the shell,
It comes in ways in mysterious ways,
A shot of pure reality grabs my infant hand,
I am petrified of nothing,
Awkward comfort up from the centre,
A dose of negativity to take the sting off,
Like scratching just below my surface,
It comes in ways in mysterious ways,
A strain of what's in store for me to take my breath away,
I'm three times over your limit,
Awkward comfort down from the zenith,
It's here, It's real, In the now, And it can hold it's own

Beyond the Glass
05:54
|
|||
|
Staring at the endless,
It's just beyond the glass,
Taking in the darkness,
Watching time drift past,
Hold on to the nothing,
It's silent and it's black,
Darkest in the centre,
But it's dullest in the back,
Board up every window,
Plug up every hole,
Take a step back into the shadow,
And watch the hell unfold,
Coz this is where you are now,
And this is where you'll stay,
This is where you shall remain,
Climbing up the walls now,
Trapped inside your cage,
This is where you shall remain,
I'll tear down every deity,
Whoever holds my chains,
I'll strip the bastards of their title,
Take the rank and leave them idle,
This world is mine for their gain,
Coz this is where you are now,
And this is where you'll stay,
This is where you shall remain,
Climbing up the walls now,
Trapped inside your cage,
This is where you shall remain,
Reality wears a mask,
It's never what it seems,
I thought I'd overcome this,
I thought it was behind me,
But that was just a dream,
Staring at the endless,
It's just beyond the glass,
Coz this is where you are now,
And this is where you'll stay,
This is where you shall remain,
Climbing up the walls now,
Trapped inside your cage,
This is where you shall remain,

Spires
05:58
|

|
Twisting and turning like the machine,
Plow through the rubble,
Creeping and crawling in between,
Resting inside the flames,
Free of the chains of weight and plain,
And all I left beneath,
See, I'm flying high among the spires,
I can breathe,
Hold on, to what I have done,
The midnight Sun is calling,
Coz' I've won, protected from none,
The fear inside is falling,
I'm finally alive...
Drowning in purity,
Dream is reality,
Out of shade,
I'm way up high, lost in the sky,
Where the angels fly,
The day gone by, when my will dies,
Somewhere among the spires,
I've felt the hurt,
Face down in the dirt,
Out of shade,
Hold on, to what I have done,
The midnight Sun is calling,
Coz' I've won, protected from none,
The fear inside is falling,
Hold on, the light of the Sun,
Is holding me up high,
I float by, and realize,
I'm finally alive,
The burning light goes round the bend,
To meet another end,
As I ascend again,
Confined infinity,
Fixed to immensity,
Feel the air,
Bound by immunity,
This is reality,
In time and space,
Beyond the Sun,
I'm the only one,
In the place that I can sleep,
Hold on, the light of the Sun,
Is holding me up high,
I float by, and realise,
I'm finally alive...

Deeply engrained, In my design,
Creeping somewhere in between the lines,
I found a place, To come undone,
Sleeping soundly in the back of my mind,
So here I stay,
I'm shackle bound,
There's no one there,
I won't be found,
I'm fighting for the greater good,
From a selfish point of view,
I've taken the fall for way too much,
Time to start a new,
For one last time I hold my tongue,
You always said you always won,
When everything is said and done,
I'll cast my focus further,
This candle burns,
From both sides,
Digging the graves before we die,
Completely lost, In train of thought,
This separation is what I wrought,
I'm fighting for the greater good,
From a selfish point of view,
I've taken the fall for way too much,
Time to start a new,
Under the sky of endless rain,
Crushed under the weight of my disdain,
You shoot the gun I'll take the blame,
It's all too much,
Lifting the weight of the mountain,
From the ground to my back,
Struggling to find my own reason,
I'll cast my focus further,
Fuck!
Taking a stand against anger,
No backing down no holding back,
One perfect vengeful moment,
I'll get away with murder,
FUCK!!!
I'm fighting for the greater good,
From a selfish point of view,
I've taken the fall for way too much,
Time to start a new,
For one last time I hold my tongue,
You always said you always won,
When everything is said and done,
I'll cast my focus further,
Under the sky of endless rain,
Crushed under the weight of my disdain,
You shoot the gun I'll take the blame,
It's all too much,

Everyday
04:24

So it begins,
Every day is the same,
Never to change,
Someone change the record,
i'm getting sick of this song,
Rolling in the waves,
Is this where I belong?,
The same old beat goes on and on and on,
On and on,
The same old beat goes on,
On and on,
I'll paint you a picture like a dream,
I'll show you what it is to be free,
Dance around your trail of thought,
Keep on goin' til you get caught,
There's no other way that it can be,
Slam on the brakes and everything,
Comes to a halt,
Lock your world into the vault,
Lookin' up, Lifted up,
On the skin, Like a drug,
Like a drug,
Every day is the same,
Like a drug,
I'll paint you a picture like a dream,
I'll show you what it is to be free,
Dance around your trail of thought,
Keep on goin' til you get caught,
There's no other way that it can be,
Every day is the same,

Stars

Entwined, in the illusion of time,
Out of sight and mind,
Up high, in the sky is where it lies,
Float on through the endless dark,
Hope has taken me away,
Relieve all the misery,
Slip into history,
Drifting so peacefully,
Take a look at me now,
I am on my own,
All that's left for me is a place in the stars,
Take away my problems,
Take away my pride,
There is no more need for me to hide,
There is nothing left to see,
All has been said and done,
So, let this river take,
I will follow where it leads,
I can't see around the bend,
The bank is out of reach,
I have no pain,
Lost in empty space,
Take a look at me now,
I am on my own,
All that's left for me is a place in the stars,
Take away my problems,
Take away my pride,
There is no more need for me to hide,

Remove the nails from the hands of society,
Step across the line and see what you might find,
In the land of unchartered territory
Blinding temptations take hold,
Stay back, from the edge if you can't handle the fall,
In the cage of paranormal light,
Where the eyeless sheep take flight,
In the ritual they cry,
For reasons they don't know why,
Blinding temptations take hold,
Dig through the dirt to the gold,
Take the shroud off my eyes,
For Far too long the blind has led the blind,
Erase my God, exit Elysium,
Inhale the fumes of the burning witch,
In the prison of piety for the mind,
The fear lies on the inside,
Convention is instituion,
Dig through the dirt to the gold,
Blinding temptations take hold,
Dig through the dirt to the gold,
Take the shroud off my eyes,
For Far too long the blind has led the blind,
The blind has led the blind,
Blinding temptations take hold,
Dig through the dirt to the gold,
Take the shroud off my eyes,
For Far too long the blind has led the blind,

Season of Zero
05:03
|
|||
|
Sacred, yet bound to me silent in your black sea,
Tainted by the hollow and the untold story,
Sabotage the memory,
Another piece in time that's been forgotten,
Lost in eras of the past,
Gaze upon another wasted day,
Break down the walls of what is known,
Another hour offered up to the futile,
Life in hidden agenda,
In the season of zero,
High above heads in the forgotten black,
Guide us when all other lights have gone out,
Hiding in silence under the veil,
Lost in the twilight, obscured by the night,
Symptoms of the device,
Calling without a voice,
In the heart of burning love,
Drowning in the white noise,
Lost in a state of mindshade,
Blinded for the longest time,
Down from the skies above,
Fuck this ride I wanna get off,
The dogs are getting faster,
No slowing down no letting up,
Impending disaster,
Staring down the barrel of a loaded gun,
Drain the darkness from the dusk,
The dawn will never come,
The rise and fall,
Masked by the distance between you and them,
Shrouded by numbers and clouded from view,
Unchartered distance hides you from sight,
A buried existance, fixed in your place,
Taken from the light,
Banished to the black,
Forever lost in the season of zero,
High above heads in the forgotten black,
Guide us when all other lights have gone out,
Hiding in silence under the veil,
Lost in the twilight, obscured by the night,
Nameless to all those who never laid eyes,
Lost in the twilight, obscured by the night,
High above heads in the forgotten black,
Guide us when all other lights have gone out,

They looked up to the sky for the answers,
But in the end it was no use,
Searching in all the wrong places for the solutions,
Now it's time to build on a new foundation,
They walk the road not taken by many,
Not leaving a trace behind,
A pretty one way system that lead them astray,
Out of sight is out of mind,
Leading up to what lies ahead,
Crawling out of my skin as I shed,
Stepping back into the narrow,
Against the grain but with the flow,
Destined to be this was always,
Standing still in moving time,
Unfolding with the story of life,
We're just passing through,
Abaddon
They turn the quiet corner at first light,
Time to run the gauntlet again,
Standing for an ideal that never existed,
In this, the land of the damned,
Leading up to what lies ahead,
Crawling out of my skin as I shed,
Stepping back into the narrow,
Against the grain but with the flow,
Destined to be this was always,
Standing still in moving time,
Unfolding with the story of life,
We're just passing through,
Abaddon
Mystified we fantasize in false belief of freedom's lies,
Hypnotized and paralyzed while heroes fall and Heaven dies,
They march on through the damage in silence,
No one ever sees a face,
Stare at the backs of the angels that give no forgiveness,
Their candle has gone out,
Leading up to what lies ahead,
Crawling out of my skin as I shed,
Stepping back into the narrow,
Against the grain but with the flow,
Destined to be this was always,
Standing still in moving time,
Unfolding with the story of life,
We're just passing through,
Abaddon

The Beast Within
06:04
|

It's hard to say I'll find a way in which I'll overcome,
I'll punch and kick and fight along until the day I've won,
Deep inside the thought lies dormant,
What if I can't do this?,
Cradled arms and loving charms will result in a miss,
I've seen it all come crashing down before my eyes,
And gaze upon the reason why for all that I despise,
Ripped of all but flesh and bone the will cannot remain,
Torn off at the seams between the suffering and the pain,
Within the intricate machine of perfection,
Inside the organic box lies natural destruction,
It holds no reason or purpose, but what it wants is obvious,
Expose the invisible attacking the subconscious,
I've fought so much back and forth I know I don't deserve this,
It's taken on the form of what it knows I can't dismiss,
For all my sins and all I've done, It's gaining from behind,
There's nowhere left for me to run, there's nowhere it won't find,
Within the intricate machine of perfection,
Inside the organic box lies natural destruction,
Trudging the path of the unknown with no direction,
The beast I know too well needs no introduction,
Sitting there with head in hands it's just me and the dread,
Trapped inside the cranium hanging by a thread,
It's gonna take it's toll on me no matter how I fare,
I've never known just who I owe for putting me in despair,
The beast in me you cannot see is riddled with the need,
To pull apart the head and heart until resolve concedes,
Ripped of all but flesh and bone the will cannot remain,
Torn off at the seams between the suffering and the pain,
Within the intricate machine of perfection,
Inside the organic box lies natural destruction,
Trudging the path of the unknown with no direction,
The beast I know too well needs no introduction,

Black and light, we're alive,
Mellow in the shadow,
Day and night, pain of life,
In a fight against the flow,
Guide me through the blur of time,
Sometimes it's hard to breathe,
While waiting for a casualty,
Is this the way it was meant to be,
Sometimes it's hard to believe,
We're living in reality,
Dream of the day where we can be free,
Holding onto what is gone,
Waiting in the hollow,
Trying to go on,
Scared of what's to follow,
If only you could see through the eyes I see,
Sometimes it's hard to breathe,
While waiting for a casualty,
Is this the way it was meant to be,
Sometimes it's hard to believe,
We're living in reality,
Dream of the day where we can be free,
All I want is to survive,
Guide me through the blur of time,
Step into the great divide,
Getting lost within the tides,
Sometimes it's hard to breathe,
While waiting for a casualty,
Is this the way it was meant to be,
Sometimes it's hard to believe,
We're living in reality,
Dream of the day where we can be free,
Sometimes it's hard to believe,
While waiting for a casualty,
Is this the way it was meant to be,
Sometimes it's hard to believe
We're living in reality,
Dream of the day,
Where we can be free,

Chained to the weight in the early morning light,
While the rain kept falling,
Inside a shadow is following,
Outside the clouds are covering,
Then everything turned to a shade of grey,
We fight to hold off the suffering,
Enjoy the feeling of smothering,
There's always something in the way,
Resting in the eye of the storm,
Relief in the purest form,
We play the devil's advocate for fun,
Kept in the place that only you can see,
Burning the midnight oil for nothing,
Step out of time to breathe the air that's free,
Going through the motions blindfolded,
Under the light, dancing in the black,
Hollow losing sight of reality,
The ground beneath us is swallowing,
Pressure above us is growing,
What have I become?,
Resting in the eye of the storm,
Relief in the purest form,
There's always something in the way,
Temptation is on my shoulders,
Temptation is my guide,
Temptation, is the only thing on my mind,
My only drive,
Chained to the weight in the early morning light,
While the rain kept falling,
Inside a shadow is following,
Outside the clouds are covering,
Then everything turned to a shade of grey,
We fight to hold off the suffering,
Enjoy the feeling of smothering,
Resting in the eye of the storm,
Relief in the purest form,
Chained to the weight in the early morning light,
