In denial lies wisdom
Creating shapes of this driving force
In denial lies wisdom
The more you learn, the less you know
Follow the book
Follow the prophet of bleakness
Follow us into the realm you created
Follow the book
Follow the prophet of bleakness
Follow us into the realm you created
This vessel
Floating meaningless
In the blackest of all seas
Saved by the grace
Of a dead entity
Feed the optical nerve
Experience cortical pleasure
Becoming completely numb
Is what we treasure
Follow the book
Follow the prophet of bleakness
Follow us into the realm you created
Follow the book
Follow the prophet of bleakness
Follow us into the realm you created
Progression, regression
They are on the same side of a rusty medal
Mother of lies, father of pain
We brought it all on ourselves
In denial lies wisdom
Creating shapes of this driving force
In denial lies wisdom
The more you learn, the less you know
Feed the optical nerve
Experience cortical pleasure
Becoming completely numb
Is what we treasure
Follow the book
Follow the prophet of bleakness
Follow us into the realm you created
Follow the book
Follow the prophet of bleakness
Follow us into the realm you created

Glass Eater

When moral fails only a fist will help
That's what I've been told
Mind off the rails
Endure my private hell
That's not what I've been told
First step, nomad, last breath, dirt
The rest is up to you
First step, nomad, last breath, dirt
The fabric is fading
Chew it, taste it
The sensation of red travelling through my skin
Chew it, taste it
A warm welcome from the new world
This is progress
Change is not an option
At the peak of existence
Suffer for lust
Mother keeps whispering: "It's all but a dream."
But my eyes won't close
I have none, so it seems
Chew it, taste it
The sensation of red travelling through my skin
Chew it, taste it
A warm welcome from the new world
This is progress
My tongue is shattered to a thousand pieces
A world within me without reason
Orphaned landscapes
Fever choices
No brighter season
Noisy angelic voices
First step, nomad, last breath, dirt
The rest is up to you
First step, nomad, last breath, dirt
The fabric is fading
Chew it, taste it
The sensation of red travelling through my skin
Chew it, taste it
A warm welcome from the new world
This is progress
Father keeps whispering: "It's all but a dream."
But my eyes won't close I have none, so it seems

Myriad dreams
Keep pouring down on me
Piercing my outer shell
I saw myself with eyes wide open
Fixated, force-fed,
Half-dead
Has time passed or did I walk backwards?
Wait, if this is real
Please, would you stay with me?
Thoughts collide
Unwilling to strive
I have to heal
But you’re a lifetime away
Observe the surroundings
Everything is preserved
Nice and neat
Crawl back into the womb
If you like
Let’s play pretend
Reflective surfaces flatter the delicate core of a lifeless machine
Question meaning in the smallest cubicle
A helping hand becomes delusional
To me, my mind could scale an ocean now
Wait, if this is real
Please, would you stay with me?
Thoughts collide
Unwilling to strive
I have to heal
But you’re a lifetime away
Observe the surroundings
Everything is preserved
Nice and neat
Crawl back into the womb
If you like
Let’s play pretend
Has time passed or did I walk backwards?

Sentinel
03:45
|

Observer detected security breach
The subject gained consciousness
Unexpected experience lacking in augmented perception
The gospel is flawed
Open emergency protocols
Initiate sentinel routine
Recover stability
We sense something
Not traceable, hidden deep in the structure
A notion that is beyond... beyond us
Not traceable, hidden deep in the structure
A notion that is beyond... beyond us
And every aspect of introspection will be lost
Through the arteries of this divine machine
Fulfill the main objective
Through the arteries of this divine machine
Recover stability
Every aspect of introspection will be lost
Do not fail
Do not fail
We sense something
Not traceable, hidden deep in the structure
A notion that is beyond... beyond us
Not traceable, hidden deep in the structure
A notion that is beyond... beyond us

The God Of Suffocation

My dearest deceiver,
Intuition tells me that it had to come to this
All rivers run dry
Everything in static motion
I won't defy
The embrace of sweet acceleration
You will be here forever
There's no hand to hold
No truth to be told
I'll wave goodbye to you
As I swim across a vertical horizon
My dearest creator,
I envy your burden of flesh and bones
You will be here forever
There's no hand to hold
No truth to be told
I'll wave goodbye to you
As I swim across a vertical horizon
We will never find meaning
In infinite calculation
I won't defy
The embrace of sweet acceleration
A prophet needs lungs to speak his truth
But I have never used mine
So let me just kiss the most passionate lover
Dressed in the darkest of nights
The cycle ends when I say so
And I won't comfort you
First step, nomad, last breath, dirt
The rest is up to us
