Vow to awake and leave this place although it seems I'm attached to the fall Destroy and replace, our lives are changed To what do I owe this inconvenience? The name and the shape of the seasons change Another turning point to pass beyond Scream "wake up" behind your own eyelids It seems we're breaking ground Leaving behind all the words that we've never sung And can you hear the sound? Reliving all of the things that we've never done

To hell with you and your biases On a cynical throne of piety you dwell Holier than all you must remain No room for solace in your communal cell No more questioning my intelligence, you victim Sold out Nothing but a soulless sheep I can't comprehend the way you're speaking Wake up now.

Dear Noel, a suggestion for you Break from all the things that cause you strife Be aware that it's a temporary dimming of your light You are the knife, don't you see If you are strong they will be free I know it's so hard not to grieve But this may come to pass if we all believe In a better end Take it all in stride Realize what's behind you Can't run beside you Keep it all in mind Realize what's behind you Does not define you A sense of pride and promise ripples through your bones Like something you have never know Despite your past defeats, you do not stand alone A better time, a better place for us to hide This is more than just tonight Your revolution, we will stand and we will fight Until the end Take it all in stride Realize what's behind you Can't run beside you Keep it all in mind Realize what's behind you Will redesign you All of the things that you say you are All of the ways that you've gone too far Know in your heart this is not who you are

My mind has betrayed my body The fear has destroyed my mind I am being driven insane For lack of a better word...

A silent voice from the night sky A faint whisper that softly calls my name A lucent veil over my eyes And a song that beckons me A dim light from the outside Illuminating the barren frozen ground The thin line between life and death A hollow, vacant crown Grey in optimistic shades Your phantom won't escape my gaze Taught to live, not to raise the dead An empty vessel before me An apparition I cannot comprehend A dark figure, a faceless soul Unfathomable, unknown, unknowing Grey in polarizing shades This vexing foe within my gaze Taught to grieve, not to praise the fallen Saw your ghost under the mountain haze This fire's been burning for days and days Once more I follow along my fears And I've been alone for so many years...

You are not without sin You are not without flaw And if you try and pretend that you can never be at fault You'll be put in your place after all You're the first to fall in line Just let the sheep worship their idols And if you try and berate them for living their lives You'll prove your own point You are wrong.

Meteor 04:56
A violent awakening To the fact that we need an end The time has come for reckoning And it's much too late to make amends Although we are alive Know the sun is dying Void of space and time Speak clear Please tell me it's over Be still The sun is gone, and we have strong feelings Think about pulling your head from the sand If you want to be ahead of this Try and remain free of all that you can Detach from all existence Although they are aligned Know the stars are dying Void of space and time Speak clear Please tell me it's over Be still The sun is gone, and we have strong feelings Bring sweet death To give us life

Stasis 05:03
Find the words Find another way, an opportunity to fall apart Stay the same Drift apart, remain in stasis Forget my name True stagnation A state of equilibrium Change the station Drift apart, remain in stasis Forget my name We are all the same Forever chasing permanence An empty race Indignant and impertinent True frustration A state of sheer intolerance Change the station Drift apart, remain impatient Forget my name
