To murder Reason 04:49
lyrics
The collective, inquisitorial judge Who vomits all over defective products Without questions are the doubters On a throne of irreverence Full of hate, the reigning cowards Their denial without evidence But the hurt is yet to come Your hive minds, a plague Reason and moral All at stake Their arms stretched out, embracing a bleak existence Complexity is not your enemy And yet, you choose to be utterly unwilling They opened the floodgates Let reason sound louder while ignorance leads us into the storm Oh, I despise these murderers that are leaving our home deformed Damn you ignorant, asinine, insolent troglodytes Shun the absurd, the wrathful, the vain Or become them It’s on your hands The world began without knowledge And without knowledge it will end A swordless strike to cut last straws Blood’s boiling flaws in a court of no laws On a charred, barren soil, foundations burn What time remains to learn? But the hurt is yet to come Your hive minds, a plague Reason and moral All at stake Their arms stretched out, embracing a bleak existence Complexity is not your enemy And yet you choose to be utterly unwilling Utterly unthinking I hope you’re all choking

Cortisol 04:31
lyrics
On the brink of a desperate frenzy The burning of the last bastion Control is an illusion Low thoughts arise, proliferate The fugue state A spirant of bone on bone, familiar, yet alien Something to cling to The need to just push on The urge to say I’m done is lost, it’s gone I might drown in all that’s within and behind Bow down to the allure in calm dismay Leeks Seeping through like Osmosis So subtle, the cerebral war Temptations will take over like functional delirium A call of the void Descent, paranoid I might drown in all that’s within and behind Bow down to the allure in calm dismay It ties without sound all the perfect knots When no one’s around, this blank cell, it talks The red one, he waits in a writhing convulsion Down in the depths The amygdala prison Lurking and staring Knowing and tracing Finally seeing Truth has no meaning in here This Nightmare Doom Tumbling towards unfollowed calls of cortisol The thrill of falling, forever plummeting Jarring collapse, waking impact of bittersweet anxiety I am artificial violence I might drown in all that’s within and behind Bow down to the allure in calm dismay It ties without sound all the perfect knots When no one’s around, this blank cell, it talks The red one, he strikes with a seething decision To rise from the depths My amygdala prison

Death is distant 05:14
lyrics
Most do fear their own light in the dark Look away See it burn Praised be time as long as there is plenty left on the right side We never counted days until they faded into a myopic blur Minds descending into war Mortal dread, unnoticed, creeping along the dark edges of sanity An existential reckoning against this apocryphal growth It’s us we come to loath A display of hubris and frailty A thin maginot line across the mind And so, cursed be the time that was stolen from the golden glow of youth This intention without use Countless are the days that are simply wasted in glorious paradigms And are ending before their prime Dreadful epiphanies cast lights into the centre of insanity A triumph of depravity Pushing us to anger, but in truth it’s fear and by fear we’ll be undone Lifelines turned into stone A sad show of a mind that’s not whole While death is distant, we’re so heedless of our changeable soul Cleaving, gnashing Twisted new forms Weeping, reeling Portending a horrible storm Oh, I’ve lived long under stones that stayed unturned And I will take with me what’s been left unburned I watch the house go up in flames I watch the world be set ablaze Lest we never choose the tragedies of fire over the beauty of embers

A Gift most somber 03:19
lyrics
These existential orchids As proud as we’re fragile Survival seems overrated and stale There is no sadness in this vast void Blowing totality to bits will ignore tragedy in any form This reality, a gift most somber Given and received in silence Reluctant recognition Enervated scratching Searching for gold beneath the soot of centuries Aim to shine a light that is bound to be extinguished So it may feed into the scarlett veins of the unknown Stare into the endless Stare at the lost Choose Abandon all hope Lights Blinding All around Everywhere There is no fear, oh, for the end When you just won’t look at the clock Time No turning back What is here now What will be left until… Transience is a paradise It has to be

Outrun Darkness 05:17
lyrics
A desperate night is echoing still In isolation So we never tell Our words, they fail us The hands that shaped us, tear at us In lessons of light and its absence The dread that follows only grows our fears Their grasp as cold and vile as this world A home to confront that somehow feels off and kind of empty Someone should persist, but will slowly slip into a memory We want to be here We need to overcome the end To outrun the darkness We need to be saved from ourselves Are you lost? Get out of that chamber Switch on the light on all this pain In here it only seems to recall to stay in memories made in the cold dark You can't find the path that runs longer The struggles cease, finally we’re done Emptiness reigns each passing of a day Eternally defiant, we walk away With each step downwards We wish for warmth, for a way back A tale that we tell in panic is but a shivering plea Enclosed in all of the same woe Their grasp as cold and vile as this world All that we did take could never truly stay With us for free Nothing can persist All finally, slowly slips into a memory We want to be here We need to overcome the end To outrun the darkness No one can shield you from yourself

If there is no Future (Interlude) 02:38
lyrics
We are AM Have become A bleary death Hulking words Are a gift Out of breath And a warning A war of attrition Swaths of time A susurrus of voices What began as murmurs And ends a writhing chime The future is solace to the dead And a lie to the living

Ephemeral Reveries 05:44
lyrics
The news of these days, frozen between the lines Barely afloat, traded and sold in time, this is where we arrived Never to be found again Never to be whole at all As there’s nothing left to rest upon Upon the end we stand alone Searching for dots we can no longer connect on our own Constellations Unrecognisable All shapes are lost We are without past A shoreline dream to come, only to face the abyss This abundance was a fleeting one All riches now lost in filth Crash landed, found and shattered We are not what was meant Forever less than we aspired to be To be astray ends in decay From caverns to ruin Searching for dots we can no longer connect on our own Constellations Unrecognisable All shapes are lost We are without past Ephemeral reveries In a world where the stars have come loose in the firmament They stand, they await the wages of the glow When a long day will utter a silent rhyme Creators of chaos Blindly we stumble, on and on We are losing the night when it’s dark all the time If there is no future when will we die? From caverns to ruin Searching for dots we can no longer connect on our own Constellations Unrecognisable All shapes are lost We are without past Ephemeral reveries In a world where the stars have come loose We are the end

...and then sleep 06:39
lyrics
Let’s drag the jesters to the courtyard We planted those trees so they’re fit for the noose Prefer the blame game over action Misguided policies of reticence In highest regards we still hold ourselves A morose delusion This silent weight, an indictment chain Forever dragging us down Royal crimes will hide in shadows A slough of comfort and fear will drown all change Inundated by apathy Is there no lesson we learned? Can’t we accept that high tides will turn? Are we willing to lie to our children about their future dying? Isn’t there a choice to be made? Stopping this bleary-eyed routine of our fate A silver lining denied by the dark that houses our silence The arms of the many, so entwined they reach out for nothing There’s never been discourse with modern gods in nations of all you naysayers and maybe-voters Sanctimonious rage Impassive to murder Fascists met with whatabouts The opposite of love is not even hate It is just indifference I want you to see, to realise For the end all you need to do is nothing Don’t forget what they said and all of which then followed You keep letting them go, with the rope in your hands And then you proceed to lead yourselves up to the gallows While we kill what we breed, we all follow, don’t lead Consume and complain, we only feel with disdain We witness and weep, we are shocked and then sleep See the abyss and we leap Tell me, how do you sleep? Tell me, how can you sleep? You see the nearing end and then you sleep Is this the lesson we learned? No pain felt watching our skies get burned? Are we willing to try to shed our apathy and no longer stand by? Is this the choice we have made? Forever dormant, unobtrusively dying And we all know it’s too late when the noose is tied with silver linings Still holding on, we bring this to our homes Find your resolve and never let it falter Take a good look All the wealth, in vain For each one they’ve slain you cheered them on
