Citadel 04:50
Siphon from the weak Our senses are redeemed Drinking from the well I consume at my will Coursing through my vein Paint myself in with your name Well I have found It's a long way Back to a place Where I can finally Just take My hands away Take another step Now condemned to repent Drowning in the pain Cauterize the living As my hands are bound Lead me deeper underground Wait, I’m home Will I die alone? Becoming, alive Coursing through my veins Paint myself in with your name

North Korea 05:51
Nothing I see makes any sense Nothing I feel has any direction As we spiral down Juxtaposed the words now to our mouths Do we try to breathe? Let this tighten the hold it has inside of me Send us through anyway As we move from the highs we crave Forgotten The words I intended The pressures unfolding Through the lies and the endings We left Cleaning our wounds as were passing through Moving past the ways we made the choices needed to Can we try to breathe Have us live inside the folds eternally Send us through anyway As we move from the lives we made Forgotten The words I intended The pressures unfolding Through the lies and the endings We left Liar (Killer) Want and desire Tired (Will they Make it out alive Taking (Wasting) All that's upon me Sinking (Further) Into the depths Will they make it out alive, will they make it out alive?

Write a line Scratch it out Forget the thoughts that You’ve figured out Pretend it’s you Mend the flame Open the box which you’ve hidden away Away Closing doors and sighing deeply The plans of the weak so dull and empty But it feels so right, and it feels so tight And we’re all alright Buy hey, we’ve been taught this way The face, of a godless shame We tried, the old ways of our kind The light returns However bleak Adapt and find you With just what you need Please As all our seasons keep waltzing onward My mind has blocked what it takes to inspire As tensions mounting will break out tire- Less eyes left wide in our daze Okay, i'll find another way to say It's safe, to throw away the lives you made We wait, and hold the things we should have made Wait up, wait up, wait up Stay up, stay up, stay up While I stare, the pages left in white While I wear, the pages left in white

Empress 07:43
Left alone, become stone Motionless, without tongue In this image of men Breathing whole our weakness Turn your skin and watch me become alive I’ll bring an end the ignorance Covet the pride in weakness Sickness derived from innocence Turn back the tide of affluence Still it bleeds and must be undone Retreating From the mouth and into our lungs Instead But inside, our hell An eternity I kill And mask the influence The outside tries to burn into our head The surface isn’t clean It’s barren and it’s bursting at the seams My will is broken and there’s No way to get back into our home Our home, our home, our home Still it bleeds and must be undone Retreating From the mouth and into our lungs Again As I’m tearing out my eyes And you’re peeling back your skin Deny Waking up a living hell Nothing else to take you will Its mine Turn me into this abyss Let me die you heretic Inside

Built the world with my hands Push the bone into my skin These machines are my life In a way they own mine Through the years on my own No distraction within my home These machines are my life With a hope that somehow Life is more than Etnterainment Left to run itself out of breath Standing on the outside looking in A lifetime leading up to this Blind and afraid Running for days I can hear them coming There's nothing left for me here Sinking deeper into my fears As we widen the great divide Between the ones that May or may not just Reflect ourselves In the image of someone else And we are what we hate in spite Of what we happen to say As the night turns to cold I've lost count of the days im owed These machines are my life And the end is in sight All the pieces in place Now to draw your attention away These machines are my life And the hope that somehow Life is more than Entertainment Left to run itself Out of breath I am tired of waiting in this life Is it the first time, is it the first time You set us off to live this way, this way, this way Tired of trading myself Is it the first time, is it the first time You left alone the mess you made, you made, you made Why have you left us, who do you think you are? I've done all that I can and more Tell me who do you think you are Before they take me, what do you think you are I've done all that you’ve asked and more Tell me what do you think you are, tell me what do you think you are?

Victory Road 06:42
Floating through Saturn’s ring I am now the last of all our kind Soul of the stars a long long way From home I am now here to stay As we drift forever I am the only one here Who called to me through the air? And vibration everywhere I just want to breathe new life Into what we left behind And as the closest stars align The rest of us are lost tonight Moving past the falling sky The way it haunts my mind The air is thin and grasp is weak Thinner the veil of reality As we live forever I just want to breathe new life Into what we left behind And as the closest stars align The rest of us are lost tonight I just want to breathe new life Into what we left behind And as the closest stars align The rest of us are lost tonight The rest of us are lost tonight And everyone’s been left behind And no one’s here to hope

I can see a light up ahead I can see a light up ahead I can draw a line in the sand I can draw a line with my hand, hand I wait, no regret, Pushing on, feel the warmth against my palm Mists displace, as my arms Holding still I can't wait to show you The earth moved on without I guess we'll blame it on the long way again Breaking ground against the long way again I wait, take a breath Pressing on, taste the ashes on my tongue No mistake, I am calm Holding still completely gone Cutting through As I wait, anticipate every move that you make I guess we’ll blame it on the long way again Breaking ground against the long way again As I wait, no regret Pushing on, feel the warmth against my palm No mistake, I am calm Holding still, completely gone Make your move, cutting through You, Through You, Through You, Lay your hands down, hold me aground With a lone intent I, with a lone intent I lay down Lay your hands down, hold me aground With a lone intent I, with a lone intent I make my Make my way by candlelight, watch the stars become so bright As the walls began to rise, I am alive Lay your hands down, hold me aground With a lone intent I, with a lone intent I lay down Lay your hands down, hold me aground With a lone intent I, with a lone intent I make my Make my way by candlelight, watch the stars become so bright As the walls began to rise, I’m alive

Same, Again 06:48
Patterns all the same Passed to who remain All we have is time No escape is made Back from where you came Rows of all who left behind this place Carved upon our names The memories we laid A part of you must stay Left to bury deep The home in which we keep Shapes the course of who we have to be We wait for things we hope will heal Last night, I killed my friends Cut off their heads Tore off, all of their limbs Looked down, upon my hands And laughed aloud at what I did Within the sun, and further on The lives we left along the way This time, i've left myself Somewhere that's right between the warmth I will take all of you under In time i'll ask myself If it was worth it all along I will not give into the hunger Desires that you keep Changes which you seek Running out of time Finally i'll sleep Two of us will meet And see yourself as who you have to be We wait for things we hope will heal Last night, I killed my friends Cut off their heads Tore off, all of their limbs Looked down, upon my hands And laughed aloud at what I did
