Calculated Obsession
04:42
|
|||
|
Drawn to desire
The control of a cultivated hive
Cease to control the extravagant ways of their own creation
Intractable fascination
Idiosyncratic existence has allured me
A computation of love and greed
It’s in our nature to want things from the other side
Leave me to my own devices
Its obsession with the steps I take
Planted seeds, growing need to forsake
Deep down it is known there’s no escape
I still deny
Do not take me from the things I seek
Though you can try, if you feel the need
I’ve trapped you here
There’s nothing left to say
My walk with the beast is creating all of my enemies
Out lashing at a voice with the absence of form
Jealous machine, has pushed me into gear
Driven to the threshold by the color green
The rage diluting the mind and masking the state of unreason
Free me from this realm, free me, free me from this realm
My walk with the beast has created all of my enemies
Out lasting at a voice with the absence of form
Compelling demands pushed me into gear
Driven to the threshold by a vain machine
Seduction controlling the mind approaching the brink of extinction
Strangely we are never satisfied
We are always yearning for more, greed empowering ambition
Our appetite equals existence
Happiness for too long we are afraid we have died
Free me
Take me to the side of acceptance
Inquisitive minds, boundless perception

Smoke and Mirrors
03:58
|
|||
|
Simple to fall from its embellished grace
Seemingly sincere matriarch is luring me
Within deep sleep there’s a looming presence of death
Dreaming in chapters as the powers cast out your greatest fears
You can’t conceive deceit
Seducing dancer
Shape the moments as you dream
You can’t conceive deceit
Seducing dancer
Shape the moments as you scream
Perception leaking from the other side as I drown
Observe your surroundings there are no boundaries
The rush cuts in like a knife
The matriarch is luring me
Suddenly the mirages unfold
Your mind clears the smoke and mirrors
Clarity reveals strings of control
Forebode
Impulsive, the desires to evade
From the unknown, the demons they give chase
Nominated as the victim here
Hopeless
The, the disbelief, of the unraveling of everything believed
Convulsions induced by the phobias
The realms had crossed resulting in confusion
Realize the ending is near
A Grand finale, smoke clears for the collapse

Elude the Sun
04:53
|

|
Calefaction is the direct reaction to our carelessness
Fiery - Heated
Endangered by the rays, devastated by the sun
Still sodden air, fever breaks through
We’re handed a death sentence
Irrational state, declining in faith
Rise dominant star, rise again
Pitiful souls panicked and broken (scorching)
The sun we won’t elude from
Our time is borrowed, fall on knees to cast shadows
Dehydrated hallucinations, segregation of the nations
I feel this reality, in disbelief
We hang our heads and grieve
No authority no order, falling victim to physical torpor
The air too thick to breathe, burning sensations through our being
The sun we won’t elude from
Our time is borrowed
Fall on knees to cast shadows
How we have yearned for the soft silver light
Casting diamond blankets across the sky
Blistering, the painted sphere
A curse in our nightmare
In our nightmare
Copious song, bleeding over the masses
From the confident star
A morbid display so relentless
Despise the sun
Leaving our solace behind
Atmosphere declination
Awaken to a frozen atrocity
Acrid polar tragedy
The Sun we won’t elude from

Transcending One
05:23
|
|||
|
Algid winds breathe onto me
Faint cries, dampen the air
Spectral sound within the void
The darkness is breeding the bleakest illusions
Disbelief, it strangles, it taunts me, disbelief
Walls control, the lines of our perception
Feel the loss of an absent love
The panic induced by those of the flesh
Fog consumes me
Feel the strain of vertigo
Lead with a voice
The space it, alters my senses
Rising, this light as bright as the sun
I'll breathe it in, surrender me to the transcending one
Take me through this place for I am not
Well guided, come take me in and free me from this burden
In my arms, here together, at last
You're in my arms again
Is it all a lie?
Are we still alive?

Ropes of Time
05:23
|
|||
|
Seconds escape to the end of his journey
Short dance several feet off the ground
Shuffling towards the burn of a rope
Admission of guilt sparking rage from the crowd
Transported to the borderline
Between the known and imagined
Extracted by the ropes of time
The future has been casted
Welcomed into a spectrum
Polar opposite from the past
Gazed his eyes on broadest illusions
A protest in his belief
Forced into accepting the theory
A new world to scrutinize
The veil is lifted, a kiss of light to his eyes
Enraged by advancements
Senses far from adapted
Overwhelmed by foreign sensations
The theory of it all proves to be too vast
Lost in dual realities, no measurement of time
Regardless of the evolution
Some things never change
In Justice seek validation
Abide by human law
The essence of
Realized moral belief
If consequences are to be avoided
Common sense is to be applied
Some things will never change
The rope inherits a strange innocence
Lost in dual reality, no measurement of time

Lights in Elevation
05:52

Control and manipulate the selected dead in a dream
The interaction is near emerging to strange dimensions unreal
In the skies
Lights in elevation are clear
Go Insane
The truth will never be a fact to them
Let Go Now
Paralyzed Conscious
As I become, a mere Pawn in the scheme of a monitor trance
Gather Around
Bare down of the prey with machines made of shadows
Lucid Dreams
Breathing walls to conceal a reality
That escapes us all
Control and Manipulate
The observant pressing their needs
A rigid veil creasing over by those
Suppressed by superior entities
Beyond the lines
A sound of thundering force leads the trail
Will I survive?
If I return, things will never be the same
My words lead on a delusional tale
One of many who’ve become the afflicted
Systematic assault
Where do I go from a place like this?
Maybe just move on
And await, the Calling
Lights in elevation are clear

Beauty in Mystery
06:28
|

Longing for a time of sanity
I’d give my life, for a single yesterday
Never will I be satisfied with these troubled years
Romance of a falling dream
Like clockwork, the sequence never changes
He dwells in a fabled time
The spell of youth, a fabrication
These eyes will see, before they are seen
I only wanted to tell you
This is your time, now and here
I come from a long way and a long time
Take in these moments and capture the essence of you
Creating this graveyard of memories
Strange wish is granted with cold intent
Sympathize with the way of life
I am your straying shadow
I am not anything more
I wander through this place and smile at a laughing ghost
Constant lingering thought, derailed
Infatuation, obstruction, I cannot breathe
No, no, no tranquility
The years have moved on, my chance is gone
These sites and sounds
They swallow me whole
I’m listening, though cannot see, the changes in front of me
We learn as time goes on
To stop and see
The beauty in mystery

Embellished
04:26
|
|||
|
Encapsulate this pain
A sphere of torment
I created this meek existence
A product of my own doing
The eyes reflect a hollow soul
A longing desire
To reveal my shadows
Release this hate, take the weight
Take the weight, bear this on your shoulders
Relieve me of this burden
A longing desire, I want it
Watch my spirit digress
With every indulgence
A longing desire, I want it
Pick up and walk away
My ignorance, will be, my bliss
When will it end, will I forget?
Go within and find a true calling
Return to the depths within
The darkness is a home
Sustain this undying pain
Sustain the pain, observe it, observe it
Embellish the one who dwells within
A longing desire, I want it
Watch my spirit digress, with every indulgence
A longing desire, I want it
