Our minds are lost Floating in the valley of eternity So much left to lose And everything to gain Have faith in your ability Make a choice Take a step back and ignore the noise The silence will speak The voice in your head You know, it’s the truth you seek The colours, they flash like lightning right behind my eyes It echoes like thunder, the heartbeat of the earth itself Persistence, a challenge to the infinite A dare against oblivion We are the ones that hold the key to enlightenment Wake, inspire To rewrite this design History that we won’t repeat Rebuild it from the inside Fate, denied Repeating out of spite Our voices weaponised Burn it all in neon fire Loosen your grip Release all control Cos only when you turn away Will you see its hold Fear and resentment, Continues to feed your soul Lying in the endless black I know it’s hard to see the way back Our shells directed by our failures Mistakes of our past, We can’t forget that- There’s a light at the end, stand up and take a look ahead, towards the future Leave behind what came before, Now it’s time to regain your composure Oh god, The black thorns tear at your insides Losing control of yourself Once more, going under In to the depths of remorse You must relearn to forgive yourself Wake, inspire To rewrite this design History that we won’t repeat Rebuild it from the inside Fate, denied Repeating out of spite Our voices weaponised Burn it all in neon fire

The Grey 03:52
Names carved deep in my skin With the promises you’ll never surrender A lifeless shell Laid out on the bed The images I’m forced to remember Deafening scream Bleeding within Shaking my core till the end Eroding what’s left of my strength Deeper again, Making me sick Purging the bile from my lungs All that remains is collected The grey is in our veins Corroded from the inside out We sell our time to waste away Addicted to this misery A bleak dependency Break control and turn away Fear and spite, My masochistic drives, These phantom incisions remind me that I am not mean to survive Years gone I still waste away Knowing that you’ll never allow my escape A moment of madness Is all that it takes To find yourself compromised ready to break Blood in the paint Cover the stains Forcing the details to fade Within every room in my memory Losing my way Circle the drain Withering to the decay Digging a grave for my empathy Hear me, I’m ready to confess to my disgrace Believe me, I never thought I’d end up in this place The grey is in our veins Corroded from the inside out We sell our time to waste away Addicted to this misery A bleak dependency Break control and turn away Straining to regain some sense of clarity Giving into this perpetual despondency Spiralling head first down into obscurity The grey sets in my veins There’s no human left in me

Spire 04:06
Isolated from mankind Inside the heart of this mechanical blight Upon a bleak coast of arterial wires, I now find myself at the foot of the spire In my uneasy presence, the gloom almost seems to convulse This tungsten aftertaste - a warning sign that I am unwelcome Towering above Twisted limbs of steel and rust A landscape starved of sun Seeking life amongst the dust and the broken Forgotten wasteland, all signals cut This ground is a concrete tomb Bodies of the damned left underfoot Burning my insides, Choking back my iodine Scarlet burns upon my skin As I stare into the heart of this failed design Eyes turned away Ignore the construction We signed the warrant for our own destruction It’s phantom presence, our annihilation Suppress the facts for the state’s own preservation Watching, waiting, Will we ever find our way, Will we ever leave this place? It’s phantom presence, our annihilation Suppress the facts for the state’s own preservation

Disintegrate 04:35
Revitalise the lost In this frozen state Just a monochrome depiction Of what we became The colour and the contrast Just melting away The sight behind the window with a shrinking frame We’ve become forsaken effigies Wasting our life replaying memories Once more we’re trapped within These walls of contradiction But fear will yield to flesh and bone This much I know Some day our bones will turn to ash In the fire of a dying sun Blown away in our final breath To rejoin oblivion And it won’t kill you to open your eyes To see what you’re made of Echo out in time Back to the start Release it all, everything will disintegrate, I’m gone again, the great nothing My soul assimilates My mind is lost, I’m not afraid The darkness feels like home I see the light, my weightless flight I move in retrograde Revitalise the lost In this frozen state Just a monochrome depiction Of what we became The colour and the contrast Just melting away The sight behind the window with a shrinking frame I’m staring up I know you’re looking back at me Won’t you take me there Death is calling me And I don’t fear him anymore Some day our bones will turn to ash In the fire of a dying sun Blown away in our final breath To rejoin oblivion And it won’t kill you to open your eyes To see what you’re made of Echo out in time
