1. Enter Nothingness
Indecision makes me hide
An utter failure to redeem
Who crossed the line?
Where is the clear
Thought behind this?
There is no fear
That I might miss
So it seems to be
More we cannot say
Words mean ever less
And it feels to me
Like we've gone astray
Through the emptiness
Where is the clear
Thought behind this?
There's nothing here
That I might miss
And it feels to me
Like we've gone astray
Through the emptiness
And the need to stay
Is all washed away
Into nothingness
2. Instinct Solitaire
So quickly we judge
There's no benefit of doubt
Never bend, never budge
How lacking in hope
There's no weakness in trust
Will you care, will you cope?
Where to hide?
This is the thick brick wall
This is the stumbled fall
This is how to crawl
This is the weak in all
This is me all small
This is my wake-up call
To nurture, not use
Where's the quickening of hearts?
Once was love, now abuse
In you I'm confined
I'm no longer alive
Do you care, do you mind?
This is the thick brick wall
This is the stumbled fall
This is how to crawl
This is the weak in all
This is me all small
No final curtain call
3. Torrents
Plunge into these darkest waters
Enter desire
Float in deathlike orchestrations
Another attempt
To reach a little higher
Climb up to these highest towers
Funeral pyres
Silent, lost in contemplation
Insight is shrouded by fire
Oh, to be within
Your garden walls
Walk inside the calm
Your marble halls
Smell the naked, withered flowers
Swallow the fire
Taste the salt in rivers rushing
Hindsight is all but a liar
Oh, to be within
Your garden walls
Walk inside the calm
Your marble halls
4. The Thin Layers Of Lust And Love
Walks into my room
Where there's no fire left to feed
And truth be told
I would not stay
If not for this
I'd walk away
Here our shadows loom
And there's no warmth to quell the cold
When all is said
And all is done
If not for this
I would be gone
Filtered through thin layers
Cold core, an open sore
To once have felt such pain
But a fool returns for more
And truth be told
I would not stay
If not for this
I'd walk away
Filtered through thin layers
Cold core, an open sore
To once have felt such pain
But a fool returns for more
5. Tear
6. Manumit
Torn apart, would you like to take part?
I've been down this lonely road before
Discarded thoughts
Minds laid waste
With mindless haste
Thorns inside, we shall clash and collide
I'll go down this lonely road again
Distrust about
Grab what's not yours
Such sweet hungry whores
True, I've done these things before
Broken, tear these ties
Grounded, still I'd like to lift this spirit higher
'Cause this is mine
Graceful hands at work
And to dream it would be better
To improve
What you do not know
True, I've done these things before
Broken, tear these ties
Grounded, still I'd like to lift this spirit higher
'Cause this is mine
True, I've done these things before
Broken, tear these ties
Grounded, still I'd like to lift this spirit higher
'Cause this is mine
7. The Flutter Kings
Rise above yourself
The tainted soul took root
Condescension bred a cruel addiction
Shifting veils are pinned before your eyes
Once awake, a sorry tale
Once again, we all fail
Trampled under foot by the Flutter Kings
Motion stemmed by all those little things
Tricks and treats with a cannibal smile
All the while laying desolate another mile
Trampled under foot by the Flutter Kings
Famished child to dying mother clings
Swooping down on venomous wings
Nothing's left by Flutter Kings
Moan, the cold machine
Forever feasting on
Those who cannot even mend their future
Shameless hunger stripped of all it's pride
Once awake, a sorry tale
Once again, we all fail
Trampled under foot by the Flutter Kings
Motion stemmed by all those little things
Tricks and treats with a cannibal smile
All the while laying desolate another mile
Trampled under foot by the Flutter Kings
Famished child to dying mother clings
Swooping down on venomous wings
Nothing's left by Flutter Kings
8. Erased
Overwhelmed by sentiment
Cleanse your heart
Do not repent
Rest assured
Ill advised
All be gone
By crack of dawn
Waiting child finds the way
9. House Of Nadir
Though it seemed so clear
There was nothing here to see
Though it seemed ideal
Still I never really seemed to notice
What was missing
Though it seemed pristine
Still I never really seemed to notice
What was missing
Falling to my knees in desert dawning
Leaving hope in disarray
Listening for a heartbeat
Life is yearning
Words spoken to will me on my way
There is nothing here for which I long
There is nothing here that makes me strong
My will is weak, my mind astray
Time is spent, I lost my way
Crawling on my knees in desert dawning
Building strength to cross the fray
Listening for a heartbeat
Life is yearning
Words spoken to will me on my way
There is nothing here for which I long...
10. Coda
Full circle, back to start
Start cycle
Retry failed
Back to start
.
Full circle, lock me free
Recycle
Answers veiled
Set on three
!
Full circle, cycloid heart
Heartstopping
Feelings force fed
Back to...
.
Full circle, torn apart
Part cycle
All is said
Full circle, failed to start
Breathe, inhale a gray tomorrow
Breathe, same face, another furrow
Breathe, blurred world will sway from sorrow
Breathe, and all will recommence
Full circle, mental spin
Spin cycle
Round and round
We circle
Broken circle, back to start
Start cycle
Retry failed
Care to start again?
Breathe, inhale a gray tomorrow
Breathe, same face, another furrow
Breathe, blurred world will sway from sorrow
Breathe, and all will recommence
