Wake 00:46

Restless 03:30
lyrics
All I have is complacent fingers A head falling far behind My last rejects start to take a resemblance To everything passing me by And I pray you stay awake We can both be restless All I get is vacant whispers An answer from time to time My last request is time to go and make a severance With what's famliar this time And I pray you stay awake We can both be restless I'm ripping out the pages That I loved to quote before The innocence still rages And the lines meant so much more I will fade in the distance One last time again I've got my second doubts And I know where they came from I don't want to be led astray, empty All that I have, all that I have Open your eyes and see All of the things passing Now your ideas are sinking at a rate From which there's no recovery There is no hope for the weak and desparate

Of Malice & Fraud 04:05
lyrics
I'm going to kill these leopards The slow ones, the two-legged ones Forming earthquakes in my hands I will destroy it all For everyone but me I'm going to kill these kids The old ones, the heartless ones Will you take the time, never on your side Hold it close like you will never let go In the shadow of what you want the most A looming figure, it's taking over I count the steps to the edge Like clockwork, just as predictable But always changing I'm standing on the surface Disgusted with everything I see below These parasites I see They eat, they breathe But I've been told they're not like me I'm picking the pieces I find distasteful But soon I find, there's nothing else to see These parasites I breed These parasites are pieces of me You're leaving all the answers But the solutions I cannot find You have left me confused again I think you take me for granted Just like clockwork, completely on time A victimless crime
4.
Inferno 01:54
lyrics
Squander in waste recklessly Everybody thinks that they can fix me Completely unconcerned with the outcome What is this that I have done I live in the inferno I cannot leave I live in the inferno This is where I'll stay
5.
The March 03:20
lyrics
I left here once before With knowledge of the ever-present doubt that I live for I left here once before The endless illusion that I can't escape With saccadic movements And a never-ending pursuit The lure of nothing is calling me back And the voice is still the same Blame locality, it's so easy All of the surroundings that drove me away I can't wait here for nothing Everybody's lost and no one ever finds their way Set your moral compass and never let the angle stray Never let the angle stray Engulfed in an air of calm As you describe the world around you Overwhelmed by all it has to offer My hand's grip is tightening What is it that I am reaching for The death of me is coming oh so soon I reach out to no avail I just set myself up to fail I just set myself up to fail We came here too soon and left too fast We never understood what was ours to have I let the tether go and now for miles I stray Skin hanging off the bone with my last words I'll say Let the tether go

Winter Sun 03:28
lyrics
Her nervousness; my nervousness Yet there's something so definitive About the way she carries herself Like her body had a secret even she didn't know I never earned it, I'll never earn it I never learned it, I'll never learn it It's so cold when it shines We all long for the old stuck in our minds We've all fabricated pieces We then truly did believe To be part of the whole puzzle We found haunting everything Perhaps part of the solution To the problems of our past All the while we were refusing The forward motion of our paths We beat on Regardless of our preference Endlessly, endlessly We beat on
7.
Sleep 05:33
lyrics
Foggy moon We swoon, we swoon Tell us not of how soon For it always does loom When tomorrow will come And find we all bloom Frosty sun We come, we come Do what must be done Seize our bodies from stagnant And ignite in our chest The light of the world While we toil for rest Exhausted, from restlessly sleeping I'm feeling numb The waters are too deep There's a risk of going under Sky above and ground below We fall in love yet lay alone It's cold and dark or light and glow We find in rest, our hearts atoned Exhausted, from restlessly sleeping I'm feeling numb The waters are too deep There's a risk of going under Tow the line, feel it's pull Marking time 'til we expire all Botch the fight, heed it's call Falling flight...elude my animal Cold earth You birth, you birth The plight of the dirt The silence we feel When we find that we don't hurt Free the devils at our heels And forget all our worth
