Dead Space 03:12
Clouding all fate Static and nothingness The time will waste away Weight carried silently A history dissolving How will they know? The static’s evolving Will you think of me? When everyone leaves us behind Will we fade to nothing? Fade to nothing We stand side by side with fate By design running this ending out Fates colliding Will you shut out the silence? Fight the intrusions off? I never thought about this dead space The void is tearing A flicker’s gone in your eyes Don't sever the sight line I couldn't see your face When all is fading away I won’t forget your face Remaining, but time will tell I can't remember anything About this life that I once knew Winding paths that lead to dead ends Winding paths that don't mean anything Ending When time erases does it leave behind traces? That we belong here In this time The ending is coming

Sungazer 03:08
I’ve seen the sun it’s rising on the hill I can feel it The light awakens me Let’s watch the glow wash over everything Can you see it? Could you believe in me? Brave the snow Through eternal winter’s hold Left staring at the sun Left staring at the sun Aglow It warms me We’re sheltered from the cold Shadowed The hope, it fades I have become all that I fear Through night I’ll sleep Concealed The path is lit for those that seek A darkness known by heart Let’s watch the sun wash over everything Can you see it? Believe in every light Tonight will sleep Look at the sun Tell me Do I Do I exist? Tell me what I have become The shadows lead us astray Waiting for the morning to come Brave the snow Through eternal winter’s hold Left staring at the sun Left staring at the sun Aglow It warms me We’re sheltered from the cold Shadowed The hope, it fades I have become all that I feared Hiding from the sun I’ve become too lost A never-ending night where I can’t sleep Will the sun erase the cold? Just like daylight, the hope fades

Divergence 03:04
Trading something for nothing All this effort is wasted time Never escaping Be free of hanging on Time's been flowing in place for so long Static plays on Composing the final swan song Running the clock for a chance to heal through this wound Lies won’t mute this tune Heading to the past to set it all on fire These fleeting moments lead us astray We couldn't be more lost Holding on to these tangled threads through Divergent timelines Divergent lines As static plays on The colours will fade out We lost the flame While seeking out the light Visions imagine A place to heal through this wound The light will fade away Focusing on you Heading to the past to set it all on fire These fleeting moments lead us astray We couldn't be more lost Holding on to these tangled threads through Divergent timelines We don't belong here We don't belong here We don't belong here Ignited with these tangled threads We set this all on fire Trading something for nothing All my effort is wasted time Never escaping Divergent lines

Finding solace through all the silence But I won’t escape this maze I’ll never make it through Would you believe? Light bends to a form that casts no shadows Led to deceive In a world that leaves you hollow Silence can become a comfort Why make an effort now when later is looming? Falling on deaf ears Lost inside a deep gloom The clock ticks forwards Yet I am sinking backwards Would you Could you see? Believe The light it bends through me To a form that casts no shadows Led to I’m led to Deceive Regretting what's undone I’ll block it out as I lose control A shelter from the rain The seeds will grow in the desert with me Light can flicker out The sun was shadowed before this It left us hopeless Searching Finding solace through all the silence But I won’t escape this maze I’ll never make it through Will the paths run out? I’ll always wander along them Silence has become my comfort Why block the light outside And shroud what would let me live? Anew

Apparition 04:00
You’ll never know Lost alone I sink deeper Left like a ghost, I’m cursed with obsession Lower Lower than the lie you’ve led to end this condition Oh, I’ve lost my way You led me astray And now I’m on my own And I can’t look away Twisted by a lovers band Painted in gold with stories untold I read between all your lies I’ve been following the signs You’ll never know A perfect tension that held all of us in place With every waking moment, we survive this empty space Oh, I’ve lost my way You never meant to run away You led me astray And now it can’t be erased Left to decipher the ones who never loved me (Clarity) I can see all my past, it’s just a memory (Memory) I’ve become a vessel to carry all the ones I’ve lost Oh, eidolon, what have I become? (Lost) You’ve led me astray for far too long Falling structures collapse around me Oh, I’ve lost my way You led me astray And now I’m haunted by your memory Oh, I’ve lost my way You never meant to run away You led me astray And now it can’t be erased A perfect tension that held all of us in place And now the story's over And I’ve become replaced I’ve taken back all the time that you took from me Now I’m chasing this lost memory I have seen the light through In view Yet you always look away Turn the key (and you’ll see) That there’s no hope left No hope if you believe in nothing

Second Sleep 03:20
Forgotten voices underwater Weightless, their echoes flow on I am afflicted by this Lost in a fever dream A constant search for solace Lucid with no control here Lost to a deceiver of worlds Forever floating Through waking daydreams Sinking As if my sleeping Were never ending I fear it’s taken control If there’s nothing beyond the stars Then when I wake, I’ll see it’s face Second sleep Drowning in consciousness Lost to the deceiver of worlds Second sleep Lucid, sunken beneath As if it were all a dream We’re all lucid Yet sinking down We’ll never make it back Never make it back We’ll never make it back Forever floating Through waking daydreams Sinking As if my sleeping Were never ending I fear it’s taken control If there’s nothing beyond the stars Then when I wake, I’ll see it’s face Second sleep Cursed in slumber Sunken minds will dream Lost in solace Sunken minds will dream Sunken minds will dream

Keepsakes 03:16
Moments pulling me back A deafening quiet is broken In time it comes for us all Feel every loss weigh upon me In time it comes for us all I feel every loss weigh upon me All of the weight is upon me Reaching out for you Reaching out within the waves It pulls me in and pushes me away Keepsakes floating as we drown It pulls me in and pushes me away A ghost of you This afterimage will haunt me Sinking, fading Where is the sun? Show me the sky Reaching out Out for you Sinking down below Drifting with the waves Reaching out for you Reaching out within the waves It pulls me in and pushes me away Keepsakes floating as we drown It pulls me in and pushes me away Reaching out It pulls me in and pushes me away Your ghost floats within the waves Within the waves

Just breathe I’ve been wandering this dream alone Breathe I’ve been wandering this dream alone I’ve been wondering if I’m asleep or awake I lay down and let the void swallow me Over all of my skin and body A thick smoke crawling, coming down It's been sticking to everything Surrounding everything I know I didn’t see it was always there Will this all come falling, crumbling down? Confined within, we’ve lost everything All I’m breathing is black smoke I'm holding on for you I can’t escape this vision You were lost from view When everything was taken Misery It always stays the same You think you’re not to blame The entropy It's all that will remain Don’t let it take control of me Searching for a reason I’ve been here before Black smoke preventing us from breathing I'm holding on for you I can't escape this vision You were lost from view When everything was taken I’ve given up, I’ve given in I’ve given up I’ve given up, I’ve given in I’ve given in Where were you When everything was broken? Where were you When everything was broken? Where were you? You’ll never be forsaken I’ve given up, I've given in I wanted to believe again Where were you? Where were you? Black smoke Black smoke Breathe Lay down and let the void consume all hope Black smoke Black smoke

Not the One 03:37
Lay down your head And wash away your past life I know you lost all faith in “always” I couldn’t see it was without your face Heal in peace I won’t waste another sundown This weather Reveals all the worst within ourselves Will you comfort me when there’s nothing left? You’re like someone I used to know I’ve healed The worst was your cold stare You’re not the one I used to know Find me You’ll never make your way back home You’re like someone I used to know I let go I won’t waste another sundown It’s clearer A bind to the ties we made ourselves Lay down your head It’s far too late to go back now I never hoped to see you this way Don’t fall away, back into memory Lost to forgotten plans I’ve been concealing all my past fears You’re not the one I used to know Lies I’ve made a bed of prophetic throes You’re not the one I used to know Don’t forget my name But you’re already fading Into this far away dream of loss Of loss You’re not the one I used to know

This rising tide of suffering An intuition, it flows through me Through me Waning hope is all we have to survive Forever waiting for the crescent moon to arrive Arrive We’re separated Through daylight fading To darkness faced alone We’re separated Still, morning’s waking The falling moon, it glows Waves crashing down Skies breaking Stars fading out, the beacon is broken Search Through the clouds I’ve been wandering in the dark Seeking an ashen glow Below We’re separated Through daylight fading To darkness faced alone We’re separated Still, morning’s waking The falling moon, it glows To darkness faced alone The falling moon, it glows I’ll always climb I’ll always fall We will never make it after all It was written in the stars When you fade They reflect your name I cannot forget, a void will remain The sun and the moon Will see eye to eye Hidden in the worst of times We’re separated Through daylight fading To darkness faced alone We’re separated Still, morning’s waking The falling moon, it glows This rising tide of suffering Intuition fades To vacant nights we’ll never see
