All lies All lies Disregard the headlines They mean only to deflect And feed your mind with poison Towards all you won't accept The truth won't set you free - set you free It will only tear you apart The truth will tear you apart So which would be the lesser bitter pill to swallow? How easy would you let it slide right down your throat? Lies, all lies Unheard of, undefined Cover your ears and avert your eyes Avert your eyes You’re not ready for this conversation The more you know the less you'll understand How far do you dare to go Down the rabbit hole? How far do you dare to go Disregard the headlines They mean only to deflect And feed your mind with poison Towards all you won't accept Disregard the headlines Question everything, but why? The extent of all you know Is pre-determined and realigned Pre-determined and realigned So which would be the lesser bitter pill to swallow? How easy would you let it slide right down your throat? Lies, all lies Unheard of, undefined Cover your ears and avert your eyes Avert your eyes Lies, all lies Lies, all lies Lies The truth won't set you free All lies

As they gather around me I can feel a familiar calm I know now what comes next I’m ready to welcome the upcoming storm What took you so long? Ominous clouds block out the sun Light turns pale at the break of dawn Proclamation of disaster to come The deluge that will wash us all away The tides will shift and turn The tides will swallow us whole The tides will shift and turn The tides will swallow us whole Light pierces the horizon The sky's in disarray There is no silver lining Only radiant gray The sky’s in disarray There is no silver lining Only radiant gray I know what these clouds conceal from me The view of a starlit night sky That would in turn put these city lights of yours to shame What took you so long?

Deserted Shores 04:26
lyrics

Sailing shipwreck through a maelstrom It's me against the undertow Trying to drag me down below Can't keep my head above the water But I won't take the gallows call The pressure of the pulling depths The gravity of the ocean floor Swayed by the rapture of the deep I've set a course towards the edge of the earth Coordinates unknown to man No stars to guide me out the storm Swayed by the rapture of the deep I've set a course towards the edge Stranded On the lone deserted shores of sanity island With my head buried in sand Don't try to find me On the lone deserted shores of sanity island This is where my journey ends My open wounds are soaked in brine It blackens to the touch of my blood But I won't let these waves bury me I’ve sunk all of my lifeboats Aiming to conquer the shore I’ve let the water fill my lungs Will you be there at the bottom? Will you be there at the bottom? Although the wind has left my side The ocean won't become my grave The ocean won’t become my grave Stranded On the lone deserted shores of sanity island With my head buried in sand Don't try to find me On the lone deserted shores of sanity island This is where my journey ends On the lone deserted shores of sanity island With my head buried in sand On the lone deserted shores of sanity island This is where my journey ends

Delusions of Grandeur 03:06
lyrics

Who put the one eyed king Atop the nation of the blind? To serve as a misguiding light One link above the weakest In a chain of marionettes Our lives hang on the same thread The same thread you’d hang yourself from In the absence of your masters Once again you've proven(beyond doubt) You're nothing more than what you eat Underneath the wolf skin(shed it off) Lies another goddamned sheep The fire that turned your bridges black Has spread down to your throne Embrace the flames that dance around you It seems your only way out is to burn Empires aren’t built in a day - but they fall down in one We will watch the sun set on the ashes of your kingdom Gagged and blindfolded You’ve signed the contract Right as you shook the leper’s hand Who put the one eyed king Atop the nation of the blind? To serve as a misguiding light One link above the weakest In a chain of marionettes Our lives hang on the same thread The same thread Foundations will crumble Laying culture to waste As empires die All that you’ve strived for Will be lost in the blink of an eye

Endeavor 04:43
lyrics

At least you've tried, even if without avail Proceed with caution of the things you're unaware You've walked for long but at this pace you won't prevail Your heart is in the right place but your feet won't take you there I have been flipping through the pages of your burnt and worn out story Every page was just about as blank as the next one So what good is an open book that tells you what you already knew? When all that said is done you are as empty as they come You've lost sight of your destination Soon you'll see nothing but the obstacles Suddenly you're illiterate To the writings on the wall At least you've tried, even if without avail Proceed with caution of the things you're unaware You've walked for long but at this pace you won't prevail Your heart is in the right place but your feet won't take you there Can't see the summit from where you stand And still you aim your barrel higher While you keep on shooting yourself in the foot With the safety on rapid fire Staring into the abyss won't get you past your own reflection With nothing left inside your chest but pieces that won't fit together Looks like you've made it Welcome to where you're going At least you've tried, even if without avail Proceed with caution of the things you're unaware You've walked for long but at this pace you won't prevail Your heart is in the right place but your feet won't take you there At least you've tried, even if without avail Your heart is in the right place but your feet won't take you there If only I could put a fraction of my consciousness in anything With the same determination you put your mind Into nothing If only I could put a fraction of my consciousness in anything With the same determination you put your mind Into nothing

Past Reflections 04:08

is today everything you've ever hoped for? it has to be - there is no turning back now Everything you took for granted one day disappeared Can you hear the ghosts of the past whisper in your ear? Take a step back, let time heal your wounds before Time will be able to heal you no more Reminiscing poor decisions With narrow minds and tunneled visions Now we're left to suffer from the consequence of our self destructive retaliations If only we could see(past reflections) Spiraling down the route to our downfall, paved with only good intentions Eyes, adjusted to the darkness, will be blinded by the light The shadows of regret will forever cloud our hindsight Been waiting long with my arms open wide Until I had no strength left to cast you aside Reminiscing poor decisions With narrow minds and tunneled visions Now we're left to suffer from the consequence of our self destructive retaliations If only we could see(past reflections) Spiraling down the route to our downfall, paved with only good intentions Is today everything you've ever hoped for? It has to be - there is no turning back now I never put you on a pedestal To look down upon me from Reminiscing poor decisions With narrow minds and tunneled visions Now we're left to suffer from the consequence of our self destructive retaliations If only we could see(past reflections) Spiraling down the route to our downfall paved with only good intentions If only we could see Spiraling down the route to our downfall, paved with only good intentions

Lucid Nightmares 04:37

Take me to your dreams Show me what you see with your eyes closed Take me to your nightmares I’m getting sick of my own Will I find silence in the darkness of the void? Or will it be as overwhelming as the noise Kill all the lights I lose my train of thought Each time the cycle ends Will I remember any of this when I wake? Just like before What does my mind keep from me? What does it not want me to know? Don’t leave me alone with my thoughts These lucid nightmares I can’t wake from Watching the shadows as they take form I drift away - with no one to break my fall And every nightmare wakes me to another one Another one Can’t scream, can’t move a muscle My eyes won’t open on their own Motionless I feel this cage of flesh Try to reject my soul Achieving weightlessness With no sense of control These lucid nightmares I can’t wake from Watching the shadows as they take form I drift away - with no one to break my fall And every nightmare wakes me to another one These figments of my mind Are as real as they get to me Every hallucination could be A glimpse into reality False serenity Carry me to my restless sleep These lucid nightmares I can’t wake from Watching the shadows as they take form I drift away - with no one to break my fall And every nightmare wakes me to another one

Having escaped the compounds of your skull Your demons now roam free Couldn't you just lock them in and throw away the key? Couldn't you just lock them in and throw away the key? They won't remain where you left them all to rot All the skeletons you've piled up till the closet door won't shut Collecting dust, waiting for change Why would you resurrect them just so they could die again? Don't look back, They're right behind you, Watching your every move You thought you could contain them Keep them hidden from the world But they're digging up their way out Spreading out all of your dirt Should've dealt with them while you could Have them buried one by one But now they accumulated And there's nowhere left to run There’s nowhere left There’s nowhere left to run They won't remain where you left them all to rot All the skeletons you've piled up till the closet door won't shut Collecting dust, waiting for change Why would you resurrect them just so they could die again? Don't look back, they're right behind you, watching your every move Settled in your darkest corners Growing cold beneath your skin Long have they overstayed their welcome How could you ever let them in? Collecting dust, waiting for change Why would you resurrect them just so they could die again? There's nowhere left to run They won't remain where you left them all to rot All the skeletons you've piled up till the closet door won't shut Collecting dust, waiting for change Why would you resurrect them just so they could die again? Die again

Harvest of Man 03:42

Watered with blood, since the day that we were planted Thus deeming this soil unworthy of life We have overcome through the worst of climates Predicted only to wither and die Wither and die They've come to reap the fruits of wisdom Born of the storms that we've survived Will we forever hone the axes that will cut us down? When we fall and no one can hear us Does it mean we've made no sound? From where we stood it was deafening Deafening Standing still as time elapses Seasons change us Before long the forest will be Covered deep in snow Where we'll wait throughout the winter Until the snow melts and the corpses all unfold In the spring We'll wait throughout the winter until the snow melts and the corpses all unfold Sprouted from the same grain Beginning life anew For these branches to reach the heavens These roots have burrowed through the depths of hell Our time to flourish is now The storm is over Can you see the forest through the trees? We've grown in numbers Watered with blood, since the day that we were planted Thus deeming this soil unworthy of life We have overcome through the worst of climates Predicted only to wither and die Wither and die

Am I more than flesh and bone? More than the vessel I was given If my lungs didn't move on their own Would I still be breathing? I breathe but am I alive? I breathe but am I alive? A never ending search for answers Without fully understanding the question What is a purpose to begin with? Is it our place to find the truth? Whether we drift along Or swim against the current In time we'll all meet the same end Drowning on either side Of the ebb and flow (of the ebb and flow) Eternal consciousness Trapped in a mortal cell Decaying ever since The day I came to be To live is to change And change is the only constant Nothing's the same as yesterday But what difference does it make? To live is to wait To wait for the inevitable Our scars are a reminder of Our own mortality Victims of circumstance Without an explanation Our place in life may vary But not our destination You came to this world mourning Now that you finally know the cause What would your answer be If you were asked to be reborn? Am I more than flesh and bone? More than the vessel I was given If my lungs didn't move on their own Would I still be breathing? I breathe but am I alive? I breathe but am I alive? To live is to change And change is the only constant Nothing's the same as yesterday But what difference does it make? To live is to wait To wait for the inevitable Our scars are a reminder of Our own mortality Eternal consciousness Trapped in a mortal cell Decaying ever since The day I came to be
