I see myself in the bodies being carried out I see myself in you when safety falls again It broke something essential like nothing ever would A promise to give, a promise to hold This is not what I want you to hear right now But our time is running out So far removed from what you need to know Words too hard to handle Our time is running out We're by demons encircled Eroding away at reason The bile of insecurity This fear devoid of nuance And fact resistant belief I hold together what I can I hold together what I know This is not what I want you to hear right now But our time is running out So far removed from what you need to know Words too hard to handle Our time is running out We’re by demons encircled These are just symptoms of experience and life I wish I could postpone It eats at our logic like nothing ever should It claws at our humanity so nothing can remain This is the currency of faith and we are coming up short The reality of failure, now upon us This is not what I want you to hear right now But our time is running out So far removed from what you need to know Words too hard to handle Our time is running out We’re by demons encircled

Much like the tension built between force and will Stray voltage wanders from neutral to earth Lest we forget to forgive the signals get crossed These two grounded objects on the opposite side of Right or wrong where empathy was once Is not the end - this is the reasoning I call you out so take it once and for all The weight of the world on you I call you out to claim neutrality We failed our own reality on reality's terms The less we know the more we forge What suits our single-minded goals It all comes down to this A reverse polarity In opposites we see what unity must be Forever taking down the man-made walls of strife Forever taking them down I call you out so take it once and for all The weight of the world on you I call you out to be accountable today, tomorrow I call you out There's nothing like the friction sound The slow burn of prolonged frustration Wearing down the jagged edges To fit within the margins The fires spread throughout the night It must now go down to where it can begin Inside and out I call you I call you out so take it once and for all The weight of the world on you I call you out to claim neutrality I call you out to be accountable today, tomorrow

This is not a failure, this is not an end These are just symptoms of a trajectory descent Further down the line you hide from the memories of unresolve The struggle is lost All this time of knowing Letting piece by piece slip away 'Cause when they're all against you You fail Don't you force my hand Don't you force me Don’t you force my hand When the silence has spoken in his imminent storm Taken to the nth degree where failure forms Spiraling deception Left the mindless drifting away 'Cause when they're out to get you You fail Don’t you force my hand Don’t you force me Don’t you force my hand All this time ends in nothing These walls of doubt built into our minds All this time signifying something A victim without circumstance All this time of knowing Letting piece by piece slip away 'Cause when they're all against you You fail Don’t you force my hand Don’t you force me Don’t you force my hand

To ends unknown by means unworthy To answer wishes, long dead and gone Old empty promises, a just reward for the blind Belief makes work for idle minds, we lost our way We lost our way The only dream that matters is the one you wake up from Go... onward to the singularity Whatever they say, whatever they do just go Turn on this unentity Whatever they say, whatever they do just go We are faithless by default We are faithless by default I call for a world where we are nothing More than the sum of what we know Are we to be held hostage By our intolerance for the intolerant Then we've lost our way We’ve lost our way To hope is to surrender in this series of defeats Go... onward to the singularity Whatever they say, whatever they do just go Turn on this unentity Whatever they say, whatever they do just go We are faithless by default We are faithless by default We’ve lost our way A pain far too familiar Denounce your savage self Go... onward to the singularity Whatever they say, whatever they do just go Turn on this unentity Whatever they say, whatever they do just go We are faithless by default We are faithless by default Faithless... by default

At a certain point it happens Life becomes too real And nothing can hold back what is about to be I don't know how close we need to get To blind out the surroundings and focus on the real I know you're gone But this reality is crashing down on me Crashing down to defeat all purpose I know you're gone I'm just not ready, I'm just not done I am ever in resistant disbelief When raw emotion gets in The way of our thoughts and words We pass so far beyond our breaking point I don't know how far we need to be From all that we don't want to see to regain perspective I know you’re gone But this reality is crashing down on me Crashing down to defeat all purpose I know you’re gone I’m just not ready, I’m just not done I am ever in resistant disbelief I know, yet I fail to find purpose and form I know, but the truth just makes it harder I know you’re gone But this reality is crashing down on me Crashing down to defeat all purpose I know you’re gone I’m just not ready, I’m just not done I am ever in resistant disbelief

Our backs can never carry these atrocities around So we focus on what's safely within reach to market our concerns Inside this time and place, there is nothing more you can be to me Bring out your fear, bring out your death, bring out your pain For now we lie, we lie to ourselves to live Sorrow will find you You're the only one who knows things I never say And nothing can be done 'til skies are clear again These are things we never talk about So hear me out this time I know one day this sorrow will find you Let your heroes burn their crowns, you're better than this I know This world can change the best of us Sometimes for the worst Sometimes for the ones we try to hold The ones we hold on to Bring out your fear, bring out your death For now we lie, we lie to ourselves to live Sorrow will find you You’re the only one who knows things I never say And nothing can be done ‘til skies are clear again These are things we never talk about So hear me out this time I know one day this sorrow will find you

Let the weakness set in this world I know Days cannot hold me, I blur in between Never fully engaged, the mind races between words As far as I can get, away from it all When indecision ends, can life begin again? I am silence when the world screams out I am escape when you reach out to me I am panic, I am fear behind these walls that protect me I am failure and resistance I am lost where I belong I am silence when the world screams My insecurity extends to others talking about themselves Fed with this poison of self-righteous false confidence It's in their eyes, it's in our lives Set to the tune of darkness, this is one to hold I cannot stop insanity from chasing down my thoughts Linger in the mind for what now seems indefinite time My mind is holding, is holding me down When indecision ends, can life begin again? I am silence when the world screams out I am escape when you reach out to me I am panic, I am fear behind these walls that protect me I am failure and resistance I am lost where I belong I am silence when the world screams

What if this image was taken, in an instant erased from the world? What if the truth is too far, and your reality can't cope with the distance? In the abstract, a mind never challenged, is the bearer of merciless fate. All you can feel is the loss, the loss of who you are. By force or by fire, by force or by flame. All you will know is the void, the void of emptiness. By force or the flame, until reason prevails. When the doubt starts, to creep in your mind, And subverts the true cause, of your ways. You must remain, a witness of merciless fate! All you can feel is the loss, the loss of who you are. By force or by fire, by force or by flame. All you will know is the void, the void of emptiness. By force or the flame! All that you see is a darkness, from the outside looking in. All that you see is a darkness, from the outside looking in. All you can sense, is surface tension, from a distance, grasping at straws. From a distance, grasping at straws. All you can feel is the loss, the loss of who you are. It's not about you, it's not about you! All you will know is the void, the void of emptiness. By force of the flame, this merciless fate.

Despite what is out there burning Our faces remain intact We hear the screaming of the voiceless Yet we are numb to the pain of others We filter out the light It never penetrates our blinding screens We can take a stand But in the end it all means nothing We rage out but we are wasting away From the roots below To the boundless stars above We are nothing at all What separates us from the others? A difference in choices made We take an insignificant stance What would we do in an opinion vacuum When left unaccountable? So here we are far from the world Just wasting away Doing nothing, being nothing We are the favored design And we're wasting away From the caves and embers To the heart of the beyond We are nothing at all Here we are doing nothing Being nothing We are wasting away From the roots below To the boundless stars above We are nothing at all Wasting away...
