We are minuscule, all one by one yet reaching for the surface of the sun In constant progression we slowly fade into a growing indifference of human sense Expanding cold surrounds the pressure of advance While we are shifting into the unknown I see a faceless thought of a vision Too scared to get disengaged Underneath the slumber of ambition Is a fear that covers the face When I close my eyes, I avoid to dream When disprove of visions is all I see In the blink of an eye We are creating and passing by While we are shifting into the unknown The intent of the creator Ignored by devastators Like a solar flare pervading the ionosphere The creation now burns from the sky Through the lapse of time I see a world that’s passing by One by one We are reaching for the surface of the sun And finally deny Let it burn from the sky In the blink of an eye We are creating and passing by While we are shifting into the unknown When I close my eyes, I avoid to dream When disprove of visions is all I see While we are shifting into the unknown Our omens become the enemies of our dreams Until it burns from the sky Until it burns from the sky Until it burns from the fucking sky I see a faceless thought of a vision Too scared to get disengaged Underneath the slumber of ambition Is a fear that covers the face

In Our Heads 03:31
We cease to be free In our heads, what we see The beauty lies always in between In our minds, in our dreams Depressed and numbed by this proceeded analogy twisted spines destabilizing our anatomy Blackened thoughts within our resigned minds Surrender to live, day by day Scratch my eyes out of my head and let them decompose If I no longer grasp to see Always the same binary scene Inside the eyes of vacancy Fade away, fade away Until you finally see We cease to be free In our heads, what we see The beauty lies always in between In our minds, in our dreams Our retinas degenerated by abandonment As perceiving colours grew functionless Zero’s and one’s run through our minds Erasing the bloom of human kind Scratch my eyes out of my head and let them decompose if I no longer grasp to see In a world of constant duality They've long grown obsolete Always the same binary scene Inside the eyes of vacancy Fade away, fade away Until you finally see In life we are passing by Living in black and white so, spare us and withdraw The colours from our eyes We cease to be free In our heads, what we see The beauty lies always in between In our minds, in our dreams We cease to be free We are created to decompose Scratch my eyes out of my fucking head Withdraw it all when I no longer grasp to see In a world of constant duality We all cease to be free

Immerse Me 03:36
Sedate me and take it all away from me Ensure to lead me astray Be the tide to carry me away Into this endless grey Falling asleep with my eyes wide open Like a bolt from the blue A sudden silence blurring into fluctuating shapes that benight Until my notion turns to sight Is that what lucid dreaming feels like? I’ve seen the very end of everything while dwelling in my thoughts Above an undefined condition They all just flicker and fade A slave that’s marching through infectious haze into a surreal disposition I have been searching for the day To carry my soul out of this misery I’m refusing the shore deliberately And watch the tides drag me away Immersed myself in the waves I’m losing control Wake me up Wake me so gently Immersed myself in the waves So far from control Wake me up Wake me so gently I get overwhelmed by this rare accumulation of certainty A comment that tries to innervate my neurons is willing to awaken me Thousands of impulses that target on the edges of my synapses And reimmerse myself in the floods that once released me from all this pain Watch the tides drag me away Immersed myself in the waves I’m losing control Wake me up Wake me so gently The taste on my tongue so bittersweet Familiarized within this everlasting sleep I have been searching for the day To carry my soul out of this misery I’m refusing the shore deliberately And watch tides drag me away

Common Grave 03:35
Too blind to see, or just too ignorant to care? We have always been pretending to be unaware Conflicts averted until we more and more entangled ourselves in lies Encouraged the avarice by outdated rules characterized the fucking scientists as fools Worries are just for the weak, so they told me Encasing the earth with a curtain silently forcing it into collapse Still we’re debilitating the hands that feed us No higher force that could just defeat us Burdening our own descendants with responsibility no one could ever reach A single creature with the being of a parasite and the greed of a thousand For prosperity and wealth Human race will be the first one rotting out itself The death we sowed has finally become The death we will all be suffering Enforced the plague through endless sin And as it has always been Nature’s loss for humans’ win Just one last breath is all that remains Its gaseous skin corrodes survivals beneath And with the last shred of filthy air Life soaks through intoxicated soil Await hell and heaven to open the gates Bury the masses in a common grave Regardless of ranks and positions In the eye of death, we are all the same The end of an era sealed by a large-scaled genocide All of our progress grown irrelevant nationwide The death we sowed has finally become The death we will all be suffering Enforced the plague through endless sin And as it has always been Nature’s loss for humans’ win

Tides 01:00
6.
I’m always trying to cure your ache Without perceiving the reason was me Our thoughts are embedded in words but I cannot discover any absorption Every single word that we intend to speak spreads the ocean in between while we lose our gravity Waiting for the tides to calm the storm And remind us of what we’ve sworn Cause I would carry you through the darkest day of mine To prove how hard I’ve tried Like the blood in my arteries I find myself in decay Diverge without gravity It doesn’t feel like there are words left to say Instead of entering the conflated path to follow We stray and we digress Our lungs will stay hollow as if they both collapsed Together forsaken so far from belief We find ourselves in the casualty Rely on me, comply with my sincerity Because I’m reaching for gravity Like the blood in my arteries I find myself in decay Diverge without gravity It doesn’t feel like there are words left to say I’d carry you through the darkest day of mine I find myself in decay We diverge without gravity

I refuse to let you fade in my veins Anxiety daily lurks within my brain Since everything was moving I constrained my mind to be lingering on a low level constantly Grown into the clouds abandoned into a solitary home I Never felt as hollow as the moon You built me an empire And I took the throne I am the pain carved inside your bones Out of my shadows I barely see the light Let it embrace the center of my eyes Can you see me when I’m right in front you? or am I out of sight? Rebuilt from the ruins the kingdom you rule is harmed I cannot sustain the void inside your heart Can you see me when I am right in front of you? Rebuilt from the ruins the kingdom you rule is harmed I cannot sustain the void inside your heart Can you see me when I fall for you? I live in the dark And everything I desire As distant as the starry sky Let all we aspire Be the flame to reignite The heat takes over the room Glowing in silence protecting from the gloom To fill the void, I can’t sustain And light up the darkness that I’m in But for tonight the moon lies awake Pining to set, only waiting for the day Let the sentiments temper any reaction Just close your eyes let yourself fall into the infinite to stray When everything is broken At least I’ll know that you're okay There is a part inside of me Roaming around just to pass the day And I will haunt what brings me to anything that reminds me of you Rebuilt from the ruins the kingdom you rule is harmed I cannot sustain the void inside your heart Can you see me when I am right in front of you? Can you see me when I fall for you? I live in the dark

Disease 03:13
Hey don't cut off my words when I've got something to say Don't justify ‘cause I will disobey Keep playing the fool but don't count on me While you abuse your authority What you like to call civilization none would even call civilized When someone's interfering gets instantly brainwashed with your lies The best respond you’ve got is launching your missiles to manifest your sanctity and your fucking two faced entity Hey don't cut off my words when I've got something to say Don't justify ‘cause I will disobey Keep playing the fool but don't count on me While you abuse your authority Defame the victims whose blood stained your ground Mirroring your falsified body count You’re breeding the violence in emptied frames With humanity lost within your game humanity lost within your game I will forever be cursing your name Hey don't cut off my words when I've got something to say Don't justify ‘cause I will disobey Keep playing the fool but don't count on me While you abuse your authority Collateral damage equated with martyr's death Do you listen to yourself? Scads of narrow-minded lunatics Pathetically bound to deadly arms There is no freedom with two sets of scales I wait for the day till your system fails You’re not the saint, you’re the enemy The land of the free? The land of disease Ignorance is bliss Except when ignorance reigns supreme

Shelter 05:59
With every light finding its way into heaven Life gets darker here on earth The consequences of incomprehension Obsesses the humble soul The existence of us humans seems so plausible Until we think of it, think of it as the whole Let go of anything you thought you knew before Until all your prejudices are finally ignored Let go of anything you thought you knew before Until all your prejudices are finally ignored Embrace the transcendence of the omniscence of death Let the atoms that once defined your corpus be my final breath Is there a shelter for my mortal soul? A fragile body silenced by the time Is there a shelter in the infinite? With every light finding its way into heaven Life gets darker here on earth Is there a shelter for my mortal soul? A fragile body silenced by the time With every light finding its way into heaven Life gets darker here on earth
