Raindrops 10:25
I'm the rise You are the dawn Image or reflection Of the hour it was We resist the urge to go back home Stars collide Into solid earth We were born From our universe Let us breathe All that you see Made from memory Lost so long in me In entropy All we see Pillars of Creation Revelation Oh, the society Falling towards the mirror of the world Shattering the image of what we thought We could be Shattering memories Feeling like I could breathe Coming from nothingness Putting me to the test Parallel what you’ve done It’s better for everyone Fading the memory Changing reality Shackling memories Absent for so long You’ve been gone Believe what you are supposed to be Let us breathe All that we see Made from memory Lost so long in me In entropy All we see Pillars of Creation Revelations The rise and dawn of you solidified You will never be gone Stars keep glowing (You decided that we couldn't be to) Wired in Aiming for benevolence Hovering from The evident ego That you want To hide away Once You’ve been lost I retrieve you Then You rise up From Creation Once You’ve been lost I retrieve you Suffering Space and time I diefy you The rise and dawn of you solidified You will never be gone Stars keep glowing (You decided That we couldn’t be too) Wired in Aiming for benevolence Hovering from The pinnacle, antagonist to your will Now we’re all here and we feel alive You will never survive Raindrops falling (Design driving That we couldn’t control) We’ll become Rigid but forgettable Landscapes come Center and periphery At least you are Soaring

Landscapes 07:03
When the vicious Horizon calls Where do we go from here Do we walk away? Or fight to stay? Pious, silent, absent In storms and fires Passing on the liberty Horizons are ending Here and we can only Wait for our infinity Sometimes you believe Rainy days, in a maze Feeling so lost Watching forgotten dreams Out of sight, fear the might Descend down below Watching Horizons simply rise and fall Feeling sentenced too Feeling like Always fighting them off I’ll just stay This is so familiar Slow repetition here Free my Pious, silent, absent In storms and fires Passing on the liberty Horizons are ending Here and we can only Wait for our infinity Hide in corners Watching mourners We are Way off Landscapes Above Shrouded We are Clouded Shaded From the Wisdom Above Fighting as the Masquerader Hiding in light Safe from you Breathe in Watching grief Horizons love The endless Landscape that you wire Careless Inclined to meet you But I know you couldn't be there Fearlessly He stood up for what he could never know For you Sometimes you believe In looking down without a crown Slightly visible Pushing at the seems Suffocate, a renegade Feeling left out Pious, silent, absent In storms and fires Passing on the liberty Horizons are ending Here and we can only We can only wait Fade out Into Somewhere And I am Pious, silent, absent In storms and fires Passing on the liberty Horizons are ending (Landscapes are) Here and we can only (In the distance ever lost) Wait for our infinity

Echo 07:07
Stranger I know you Why can’t we be here? Holy things erase my every sin to naught But you never listened Never really ever seemed to care I feel all alone The only thing that i am Lost without no words All you can’t desert What is inside Lost without no words All you can’t desert Me Hey You Why You Echo and Divide Echo in a naked glow It changes everything Inside of you Inside of you Echo in a naked glow It changes everything Inside of you Inside of you The silence in my head Spins the web And once you understand Desert me again You cannot breathe in (The silence of the walls) I wanna know why But you were never there Why I am still here Hey You Why You Echo and Divide It seems like I Disappear (Disappear) While the the earth turns In its solemn sphere But then I become someone (Someone) Someone like you It changes me It changes me! It changes me It changes me It changes me It changes me IT CHANGES ME! It changes in me and I feel it in my core At all times It changes in me and I feel it in my core At all times Searching Watching Soon I’m You

Parable 05:38
Running in circles Return to the writings on the wall Contemplate on your own words Running in circles Finding intention and show Days are numbered from here on out Hold on to the ways that set you free Enter the light Into the night And you are free You will be free Enter the light Into the night And you are free Seem to fall from grace I require the space To cherish the dark Haunting mirrors are there I’m required to stare And look beyond I feel their flaws I fear their cause Let the light in Let the light in We are deafening to the world Let the light in Let the light in There is always another world Let it in (Let it in) Before I fall too far Let it in again (Again) Before I fall too far

Artifact 06:43
You were there I am here We have been at The Artifact Home Now Here Destruction coming now From Above And below It's us collapsing The nether will descend upon us in contempt So revel in your presence here While you Can see Colors and shapes They won't be Part of the waves Washed away, lost and forgotten So try to just Be calm And obedient We failed It is clear Start pretending See Heave Here Wither Ether Collapse Here Now And now it seems back in the dream Falling down epiphanies And now it starts To fall apart Agitate Commemorate I'm counting days Until you are Absolute Giving of all that you had to give Descending Suffering Inspiring Making us all believe Descend skies and let particles separate We never participated In bettering this place Acknowledge the pieces Of our deliverance In the bright light Our Artifact We are the remains of humanity We have abandoned serenity One day you may (We’ve never done something like this) Regret (Never know what we might miss) Revive (The terrifying power here) Erase it all This world is lost Forgive us for what we've done
