Lost Time
04:58
|
|||
|
Leaning into the winds of inevitable cycles
This life I’ve clung to dearly, it will slowly, surely leave me
Despite my desperate resolve, this acid brain will dissolve
Take it away, it’s only myself, and
Another day out of reach on the highest shelf
Lost in a murky locus, memory serves no purpose
The moment’s all you live for, the past is strange and unsure
Reach for it, though you will find a hazy mass of lost time
Take it away, it’s only myself, and
Another day out of reach on the highest shelf
Might as well never have been
Why, I could weep, for lost time, I could scream, bleed and writhe
I could weep, for lost time, I could scream
Why, I could weep for lost time, I could scream, bleed, and writhe
I could weep for lost time, I could scream, bleed, and writhe
I could weep for lost time, I could scream, bleed, and writhe

You turn me over when you sing
And I don’t need to understand a single thing
But this silence gathers, and it’s unbearable
What do you say we seize the day?
Time will turn us into graves
Every time I look ahead, I’m so afraid
Because I know you won’t wait
You’ve said it over, the time will soon be here
Where you’ll wash your hands of my personal disrepair
Now the time has come, my apathy is shown
Oh no
Now I’ve gone and made this big mistake
Time has turned away your faith
Now I pour my heart into an empty space
Because you’ve turned and walked away
The future opens up its hands, and I have nothing to put in them
The future opens up its hands, and I have nothing to put in them
The future opens up its hands, and I have nothing to put in them

Unbroken

Pick yourself back up, my friend
I know the hunger lies inside to make your suffering come to an end
When every morning is the same
The body sighs, unsatisfied, and the morning’s welcome’s already overstayed
And in the mirror, it's the same sick charade
Look at the face you hide behind, avert your eyes, and stumble through the day
Why don't you start today?
The world lies in wait to see the man that lives inside
A paralyzing pain takes hold of my brain when I see the death in your eyes
Because you're alive
You tell me I won't understand
Like I have never felt compelled to snuff out my own light by my own hand
Well I can tell you that I have, and I can
Look at your pain, though not the same as mine, the cure is now as it was then
No battle will ever be won without a fight
If you deny yourself the dark, how will you ever live to see the light?
Why don't you start today?
The world lies in wait to see the man that lives inside
A paralyzing pain takes hold of my brain when I see the death in your eyes
Because you're alive
Turn the page now, you are safe now
You are unbroken
Turn the page now, you are safe now
You are unbroken

Storm King
04:50
|
|||
|
Storm King stares down his rock
At the earth below
Filled with disgust and shock
At the human show
Monkeys with monkey brains
Sacrifice the soil
Forsaking Storm King’s pain
Eons of his toil
Storm King rises high
Conjuring lightning tides
Now his fire spreads round
Cleansing human filth
Tearing factories down
Crushing cities to silt
Penance for the forests
Penance for the seas
Pierce the industry cyst
Gaia has been freed
Storm King’s wrath has won
Mankind’s race is run

Mutiny
04:23
|
|||
|
Seething, a storm writhes all around
The horizon’s sought, but none is found
Oh, every angle is a twisted mess
Oh, of black and gray and certain death
Every wave is a sting of salt in the eyes
And the endless tossing can break the hardest mind
Three months, a ship has sailed this fight
Three months without sleep or light
Oh, and the waters are unyielding, and
Oh, their patience is thinning
Now they no longer sing of the land they won't find
With hunger ravaging every desperate mind
All at once, a great madness takes over the men
They know the captain's too starving and weak to defend
They tear him from the wheel, ignoring his cries
Tie the bastard to the mast and they flay him alive
The smell of fresh blood in the air breaks the last thread of sanity, humanity
And the men viciously descend on each other like dogs to meat
They madly tear flesh, with tooth and with nail, on the crimsoning deck, under blood painted sail
The orgy of man-eating demons floats onward to hell

Machines of Youth
04:33
|
|||
|
Endless spirals carry off your time
Day and night, your life is compartmentalized
Have you earned your supper? Have you worked for your dine?
Or have you sat listless, mourning days gone by ?
Cause yesterday is gone today
It's far away
It's far away
Daybreak, I wake and feel my life slip by
Youth’s vibrant sun has burned out in the night
Faceless people come out of my mind
Placing sacrifices for the death of the light
It's gone away
It's gone away
It's far away
It's far away
When machines of youth do succumb to time’s hardy rust
There's no man can fix it but plenty who’ll sit by, crush it, get high on the dust
I reject this domain, I will not see this fate
I refuse the fall into dust
I must
I must
I MUST

The Fragile Hive
03:25
|
|||
|
Basking in the setting sun
The shadow of a mountain swallows up the town
Down below the cars all crawl around like bugs
Trying to keep alive the anthill that they've dug
There's no time for tired minds
You're on the clock until you die
The fragile hive is built on time
Give your honey until you're dry
Until you're dry
How I wish that I could sit and melt
Into the void and break up in the cosmic swell
But I stay here for all the things I love so well
Such pretty roses I wish I had more time to smell
There's no time for tired minds
You're on the clock until you die
The fragile hive is built on time
Give your honey until you're dry
Until you're dry

Soldiers
04:40
|
|||
|
My head's full of soldiers
Fighting with no orders
Silently I suffer
While they drag me under
You are so unbroken
No thought left unspoken
How can you find time to
Untie the knots inside you?
Time and again, my mind defends
Indecision with no apology
I ache and pine for surety
Why can't I find what's right in front of me?
Once I dreamt of perfect
Clarity and vision
How cruel it was when I
Woke up with none to find
Time and again, my mind defends
Indecision with no apology
I ache and pine for surety
Why can't I find what's right in front of me?

Gasoline Green
03:05
|
|||
|
Billowing gilded clouds swell
And tear each other down
Waterspouts
Under needled boughs, death’s
Consumed by the fresh growth on the ground
Baby sprouts
Trading life for greed, we
Burn death up from land and sea
Gasoline
With a deadly heat, the
Earth shakes us off like a bad dream
So we sleep

A Happy Life
07:04
|
|||
|
Now we must depart, my dear
On the winds of lonely change
Would that I could keep you here
But I've no time to rearrange myself
Myself
This is my last chance to tell you I still dream about you
But it's far too late to tell you I still want you in my life
All the penance in the world can't take back what I have chosen to do
Never wanted to see you leave this way, but I’ve no one but myself to blame
Running you through a tiring maze of false promises that I'd changed
Every time would be the same, swearing up and down I'd found a way
To show you a man worth trust and faith, but the lack thereof drove you away
Away, far away
Far away
This is my last chance to tell you I still dream about you
But it's far too late to tell you I still want you in my life
All the penance in the world can't take back what I have chosen to
Flighty bird that you are, I will not cut your wings
I'll content myself to see the joys your open skies will bring
A better man, in a better way
A quiet mind on a sunny day
A better man, in a better way
A happy life without me in the way

Benediction
02:18
|
|||
|
You've reached the end of your rope
You’ve got no more to grab or hold
And you feel like letting go
Bleary-eyed and buggered sore
You swear your mind will yield no more
And your life has run its course
But I plead
This will not last
The sun still shines through broken glass
And you might just find it beautiful
There's no rush to run from life
The universe ordained our plight
To take a ride we won't survive
So scream delight and loathe despair
With every goddamn lung full of air
Before your tapestry is run threadbare
Because time
Will bleed from you
You choose to die or live anew
And the burden of choice is beautiful.
