- A Certain Death
Embrace this sickness with open arms
If you believe you'll run with ghosts.
Pull out the arrows that poison your mind
Look inside and ask yourself why
Why would you really want to live forever
Every breath expelled together
In faith alone in place apart
- Anchor
Through churning waters and midnight skies
This ship has sailed one too many times
To reach a land of dreams
Where no sole nor soul has set
Where footprints leave no name
Time and time again this attempt has failed
You were my anchor
- Carrier
Never again will she see a sunrise awakening over a world unbroken
He brought the night with him beyond the gates while she safely slept
Never again
The way she turns her face from passing strangers is part of her now, echoing
The way she wakes up cold and calls her father's name is part of her now
Echoes of him
- Coma
Press rewind
Play it back in this dark room
It's been so long
I don't remember who we used to be
Go slow
Is it safe to come out again?
In skin like stone
- Ebb And Flow
Revive a sense of hope
Amidst these abandoned dreams
Rewrite what it is to feel
In hopes it will carry me home
Drift in and out
The light of morning drags me back
I need release
- Everything Will Rust
Album: Absent Light
In the trenches after war, outside the factories
Hidden in the architecture, mimicking the angles
Everything will rust
In the time it takes to lift my best laid plans from the riverbed
- Face Yourself
You brought this on yourself
The lack of a barrel forced into your mouths
Proves your actions won't be without retribution
Break down
Bloodshed, a sign of weakness
Just know you'll get what you deserve
Who do you think that you are?
- Homecoming
The spell is broken
Masked in rituals to capture the sun
Bloodletting
Monuments of guilt
If I had one wish, I'd stop all the clocks
Within me, the spell is broken
We all are still alive
- In Summary Of What I Am
I am peripheral movement
I am a figure without form
I am a person seem from a distance
Rebirth to a new life transcribed in wires
From a new life
Growing to hate decisive moments
The only thing within a breath of real
So now i fall to my knees and beg in earnest
- Labyrinthian
Drag my face through the dirt again
I know I'm where I belong
For you're a constant reminder
Of all the rights that I've wronged
Give me the strength to move this mountain
To block this line of sight
This was more than I could ask for
- Lost Relics
A day of reckoning will come when the false men who cowered will be left abandoned.
Pleading for an end
Warming themselves by the ashes and the embers of martyrs
Martyrs that they never understood
They will be lost. Buried in the sands of time
Relics disgraced from an era forgotten
- Luminary
Let shine the dimmest light
I barely see you through the fog that will not lift
Show yourself the way I knew you
With no fear of being pulled by the undertow into gaping holes
You were someone I believed in
Few return the same men as they left
- Migrate
The worst is over
We went the fast way out
You can see the marks left on my clothes
From where she came undone
You want me to hurt like you, to shadow the pain
Away with my sympathy
And the comforts I abused
Away with dishonesty
- Mirrors
Lose control
You find yourself pulling our eyes from the room
Attention, your addiction
It's destroying everything, this steadfast fixation
Still my satisfaction is found in your submissive hands
Beautiful, the life you drove through me
Through this wall of glass
- Nothing
As I reach out my hands to the sky
It's in this moment that I've come to realize, I've played my part,
for all of those who said it could never be done,
this is for you,
tormented by my every undying devotion to you.
I have destroyed myself,
this time it was all or nothing,
- One Day I'll Stay Home
I surrender whole to one
Night by night, day by day,
The blur of cities twisting us to severance
Your static voice over a hundred satellite hours
In Chrysalis my darling
Until our time
I"ll flood my eyes in light
The road underfoot is certain to become the road behind
- Parallels
No footprints before me
Will I be the one that finds a way?
Our fate unfolding
Is there something more then the roles we play?
How deep the roots dig
And they sink into my skin
I see myself in the cracks of your foundation
And these walls will crumble by our hands
- Set In Motion
Our fears ring true
We're on a march towards the end
Cover my eyes
But I still hear the deafening drums of war
Onward every twisted spoke
Let's make history
Let's make history stop
- Shadows and Depth
We are the torchbearers
In a cold uncaring world, we seek warmth to feel alive
To feel anything at all
Calloused hands lifted toward empty skies
Drifting bodies on a desolate plane
And you, the righteous, listen
- Something was always missing but it was never you
Resist
We've come too far to start this all again
I've come too far to let you ruin me
I'll walk hand in hand with your ghost
Before I fall into your net again
There's no turning back
What can be said that I haven't already learned in silence?
There's no turning back
- The Failsafe
Breaking dawn will bring revenge
We should know by now we're so sick.
It was building up and no one was watching
We're running out of darkened corners to sweep the waste into
In our distracted focus no one had a chance
When we lined up at the edge, we were open wide
Like fools waiting for a sign
It was a free fall
- The Shallows
"Truth, like gold, is to be obtained not by it's growth, but by washing away from it all that is not gold"
[Leo Tolstoy]
Wash it all away, this replica, wash it all away
We reveal only truths that we have chosen
And tell only secrets of the surface
We offer up our skin, the measure of our worth
- The Tempest
We will be lifted again
Let this bring light
Nurture those starry eyes, old friend, for this is not your time
Mend those broken wings and reset, we will make this right
Ride the wind and chase the Sun and fly amidst the stars once more
Hold on, I know that you can fight
When the world becomes so black we must sculpt the night and remake the skies
So share those starry eyes again and move towards the light
- The Year Summer Ended In June
This time,
It was our summer.
It was something,
No one could take from us!
Sometimes that night, seems so close
Like I, could hold it
You said alright, we'll be fine.
- Through Vales of Blue Fire
For many moons it was just black
Alone he travelled through the fires
Challenging demons of past
Never forgetting
Let this bring light
Muses sing with me
Give me the strength to do this as should be
With tales of hope to bring about good change
- Two Solitudes
There is no time, there will be no revival
When I took you in I was looking for a key
Another solitude to border mine
Holding out for truer lies, born to sharpen knives
The lives we sought to lead became the distances
And soon the years crept in between me and my dearest friends
- Ursa Minor
Sleeping beneath the sleet, palms to the dirt
No lunar glare to mark our course
Among the apparitions of a potter's field
The nameless, the lost, haunting a hollow so far away
I never meant to end up here, betrayed by constellations
I never meant to end up here, with no bodies of light to guide us home
- Weight Of The World
Once again I end up biting the bullet
Don't act surprised, by now it's second nature
It happens over and over again
I only bend so far before I break
And in return, nothing leaves me satisfied
But it's only a matter of time
Won't be long, I smell the fuse burn shorter
