It's too loud. Moving too fast. Truth in shroud. The plot is cast. Do you recall? Did you refrain? Defy them all. Power restrained. Forget me. Forget this place. Forget them all. We've been replaced. What do you see? What do you feel? When are we? All is revealed. What did you do? Whom did you harm? They will pursue. Sound the alarm. Forget me. Forget this place. Forget them all. We've been replaced. What did you find, Inside the earth? Did it define, The journey's worth? Your wounds remain. You bleed like us. Your brain restrained. You've had enough. Plan your escape. You want to leave. An endless wait. We were deceived. Forget me. Forget this place. Forget them all. We've been replaced.

This dark stain will not wash out The red dust of the valley Clings to me like a shroud Callous judge condemns my fate To silence and to shadows To endlessly wait But I’m alive and laughing at my fortune Paralyzed by possibility Year on year of grinding down Chiseled into moments Where images are found Polished into monuments Of “I will not forgive you” I will not relent But I’m alive and laughing at my fortune Paralyzed by possibility I devised a way to be immortal But I’m stuck here Time will tell the starkest lies Of youth and grand ambition Of wanting to know why It grew like ice to pin me down I dream it can be shattered If cracks can just be found But I’m alive and laughing at my fortune Paralyzed by possibility I devised a way to be immortal But I’m stuck here

In Summation 04:01
Wide-eyed blindness is achieved. Ulterior kindness in disbelief. Forced politeness yields thieves. False progress is achieved. In summation My ruination Is a complication A revelation A temptation A recreation Post innocence loss and damage. Gross pretense won advantage. Life sentence, one page. End mentions are saved. In summation My ruination Is a complication A revelation A temptation A recreation Clever tongue harsh tone. Tragic means are honed. Target prey no show. Littered paths outgrown.

Conquered and gone, on the outskirts Rebellious factions seeking knowledge Dreaming the snake of a science lost Acid venom, coiled to explode Stay awake, stay awake Darkness enthroned, corrupt empire Stealing life force from the weak and damned Leaders of spite in a bunker Magic and prayers they don't understand. Stay awake, stay awake The people fell into a deep sleep Darkness took control The seeds of doubt were sown deep Illusion was swallowed whole

Untethered 04:38
Through empty skies She tries to breach the circle This slow ascent Relents To no one mortal Unearthly glow She knows Heaven’s intrusion Dark feathers gleam She dreams Of something out there Untethered from the earth Sail into an unknown sea wings of desperation Melt into eternity Suspicions out They doubt Her true intentions Arrows of flame And shame Defile the moment Untethered from the earth Sail into an unknown sea wings of desperation Melt into eternity Baroque designs Inscribed On ancient parchment Her truth unknown Has flown Into the ether Untethered from the earth Sail into an unknown sea wings of desperation Melt into eternity

Another night in ruins It's what I say and do It's my manner and my tone For reasons I do not know I'm at its mercy you see A chokehold on me I outrun it sometimes Seeing through the clever guise Chorus: Am I bound to repeat Crimes done unto me? Or will I finally unseat All that hinders me? If I'm matter of fact Or go on the attack It's what I was taught It's how the strong fought I'm at odds with her Weak and immature When my voice gives raise Eyes won't meet your gaze Chorus Another day in ruins It's what I say and do It's my manner and my tone For reasons well know I need mercy you see Please hold on to me I've been ignored I've been left before Chorus When my voice gives raise Eyes won't meet your gaze It's what I was taught It's how the strong fought I'm at its mercy you see A chokehold on me I'll outrun it in time Stop repeating crimes

Starlet 03:57
Her life was a vibrant production of photo op curtsies and style Her sycophant fans in a frenzy Every nod, every wink every smile. A tapestry woven from shirtsleeves that mopped up the tears of true love was proudly displayed at the theater where she sang to the masses above The curtain has closed, the lights have gone out She prowls the streets in a dream The taste of their blood on her lips and her fingernails The sound of their screams They sighed when she danced like an angel They cried when she spoke at the show They bled when she ripped them to tatters They fled when the truth became known The curtain has closed, the lights have gone out She prowls the streets in a dream The taste of their blood on her lips and her fingernails The sound of their screams There’s a shadow at the backstage door Heavy footsteps on the ballroom floor Inhuman monster with a starlet’s poise Perfumed kisses and infernal noise The curtain has closed, the lights have gone out She prowls the streets in a dream The taste of their blood on her lips and her fingernails The sound of their screams

In the deepest, blackest ocean I drift for hours, no direction known Shines a beacon, a light upon me A kind of island, a simple sign of life Am I all alone? Can I survive alone? Am I all alone? On the island, ancient dwellings Walls are broken. Is there no one home? The ground is rotting like a body Crimes unspoken lie forgotten here. Am I all alone? Can I survive alone? Am I all alone? Lone survivor in the firelight Speaks a language I don't understand Sings in mourning or redemption Breathes my soul in. I am torn away. Am I all alone? Can I survive alone? Am I all alone?

Last Night 03:37
Good night. I'll let you sleep it off. Alright. Is this all we've got? Ignite. You say I push too hard. Incite. I guess it's all my fault. Chorus: In the end. The lights dim. In the end. The life gives. In the end. Morning. I glimpse the aftermath. Mourning. It hurts to smile now. Pouring. It stings, yet feels so good. Ignoring. The swelling and the ache. Chorus Evening. It's coming round again. Reeling. I'll let you take your shot. Grieving. Tonight is my last night. Leaving. Not of my own accord. Chorus

Divergence 04:52
Hard lines of plastic gunners in heroic pose They'll die to do my bidding twisted logic we know I love you so how could this happen to me? Alone in the crosshairs of my enemy I'm dreaming of night with you warm in our bed Praying to hear your voice and all that you said The weight of human history falls behind my back No need to know my enemy I will lead the attack I love you so how could this happen to me? Alone in the crosshairs of my enemy I'm dreaming of night with you warm in our bed Praying to hear your voice and all that you said Sound the alarm The past has risen to fight
