Neon Downpour
05:32

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
