Aggressor 04:14
I’m haunted by visions of the future I’ve seen Lost in the persistence of these horrible dreams Suffocate as I fall for the last time Detonate in my heart like a landmine No escape from the start, I was born on a deadline Long ago, I saw hope and innocence Now I know of my own impermanence I have already tried to look under the surface there was nothing to find Confined by inherent design a soul without a purpose on the edge of the night Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide found myself in a wasteland I couldn’t recognize and everyone is dead inside Hold the fear inside us forever haunted by the silent aggressor Alone in this hell, I’m losing myself show me what lies beyond the final farewell Oh, there’s nothing else I’ve seen the truth Did you really think there was nothing to lose? I’ve hit the bottom and fallen through This hopeless world will be over soon I have already tried to look under the surface there was nothing to find Confined by inherent design a soul without a purpose on the edge of the night Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide found myself in a wasteland I couldn’t recognize and everyone is dead inside Hold the fear inside us forever haunted by the silent aggressor All alone, lost in the dark set in stone, our brittle hearts far from home, we’ve gone too far Time will show that the loss is permanent Now I know it was all inside my head There’s nothing left Aggressor... I’m gone forever

Lucid Dreams 03:36
Life was all a blur all that ever happened, all we ever were Time will slowly burn our temporary future, temporary earth Lucid dreams of home I’m losing everything I know Watch me disappear Fog of disillusion now becoming clear Splintered to my core Hiding in the shadows not here anymore But I’m not running away Forging night into day Waiting for the sun Final days begun Take me back to shore, I’m living in a haze Seen it all before, but nothing is the same (I’ll stay awake ‘till dawn can break) Oh, everything I’ve made take it all apart Navigate the stars to find another way Lucid dreams of home I’m losing everything I know (let it go) Breathe in, breathe out We’ll start again somehow
3.
Cry out to fallen wings of tragedy Shot down by predatory gravity In the wake of destruction, underneath the canopy... Broken dreams, broken homes broken branches, broken bones Oh, should’ve stayed on the road but no one ever could have known what awaited below Denied by their savior was he blind to their danger? then why were these ones just not worth his time? He let them die (The sky will fall) Nature kills with no thought No one deserves what they got Oh, the horror... I felt my heart stop No one deserves what they got I tried to believe it didn’t change a thing it’s out of our control (we’re abandoned and cold) Sometimes faith can bring comfort and relief but in my heart, I know... There is no sense There is no reason Nothing you can trust Nothing to believe in Anticipate the scenario but did you really want to know what awaited below? Cry out to fallen wings of tragedy Shot down by predatory gravity In the wake of destruction, underneath the canopy the pain and agony of our reality of all humanity Trying to forget what no one could remember Unforgiving skies of red & blue & amber Trying to forget what no one could remember Unforgiving skies of red & blue & amber
4.
The Void 02:48
From the void I came, to the void I return Leave behind all that I have learned No one hears you Frozen, absolute Fragile, broken left unspoken now From the void I came, to the void I return Leave behind all that I have learned If I fall asleep will you wait for me? When I start to dream of the waves underneath In cycles we repeat all the same memories Inside us, energy beyond faith & belief From the void I came, to the void I return Leave behind all that I have learned
5.
Dark days, long nights salvation out of sight I can’t give you the answers... Shake the ground on which I stand Take what I held in the palm of my hand Erase what’s left of who I am The deepest ocean the widest sea Beyond the edge of eternity I’m falling through the darkest blue, at peace with my affliction Forgotten now in solitude this is my last transmission Our time went by, it went so fast like falling sand through the hourglass That ship has sailed, the time has passed We always knew it couldn’t last Shake the ground on which I stand Erase what’s left of who I am We watched the sun rise knowing it must fall Reached up through cold skies and felt its warmth And as it sets, I will let the shadows wrap around me We haven’t left this world yet but infinite has found me Our time went by, it went so fast like falling sand through the hourglass That ship has sailed, the time has passed We always knew it couldn’t last What I once believed in was a treacherous mirage intangible and flawed There’s always a reason not a meaning, but a cause - to find strength when all is lost I am not afraid I am not alone Do not be afraid You are not alone We are going home
