What we are How we feel Stuck inside our sensitivity So we question What we know Understanding we are not alone What is given We will not take Cannot betray what we can feel As we suffer through shivers and voids Another lapse will come What is latent in our mind forever Made to suffer Our shivers and voids For every night We think we've mastered There is a deeper insecurity Inside our forces Unending trials We bend our backs to cope and endure We must persist Must power through There is no end Resist the storm As we suffer through shivers and voids Another lapse will come What is latent in our mind forever Made to tremble Made to fear Blind to the ignorance Blind to the noise We must remain Inoculated against it all As we suffer through shivers and voids Another lapse will come What is latent in our mind forever Made to tremble Made to fear As we suffer through shivers and voids Another lapse will come now What is latent in our mind forever We're made to suffer Our shivers and voids

What we fear that we will never see Beyond the night sky Would come to expose our own black heart Our senses grasp what we don't know Yet our hold is never enough What our thoughts begin to surface What our dreams have given us to dare Challenge this, our blind denial For our minds are never enough Challenge this, our blind denial Our eternal curse Of neuronal fire Another shadow broken Another restless dream Our eternal curse Of neuronal fire Set the paradoxical night ablaze Now and forever cursed To where we hope for revelation To still our aching lives Standing on the precipice We get flashes of what will be our own demise Challenge this, our blind denial For our minds are never enough Challenge this, our blind denial Our eternal curse Of neuronal fire Another shadow broken Another restless dream Our eternal curse Of neuronal fire Set the paradoxical night ablaze With neuronal fire In a shadow broken by The light's reflection We held out hope for far too long Here we are, in line to the next Set of gathered aspirations In a darkness interrupted By neuronal fire Our eternal curse Of neuronal fire Another shadow broken Another restless dream Our eternal curse Of neuronal fire Set the paradoxical night ablaze I don't want to feel I don't want to know Another shadow broken Another restless dream Our eternal curse Of neuronal fire Set the paradoxical night ablaze Now and forever cursed

Imagination will find a way Imagination will find a way To subvert what we think we know Through co-opted voices telling lies How do we verify, how do we verify? Altered ways to further opinion As it spins out of our control No chance for consent in opinion When distrust is the goal. Can you hear it, can you feel? Can you see behind the chaos and the noise? Can you hear it beyond the lies Calling out our drowned out voices? Imagination will find a way Imagination will find a way For unprovoked attacks on the tenets of trust Foundation of community How do we reconcile, how do we reconcile? With baseless information We are woefully unprepared No chance for truth in words When distrust is the goal. Can you hear it, can you feel? Can you see behind the chaos and the noise? Can you hear it beyond the lies Calling out our drowned out voices? Now We are too easy to manipulate Now the value of our words reside In the space between us We are too easy to manipulate A simple mind for simple thoughts The value of our words reside Inside the space between us Imagination will find a way Another truth from within the lie The first swell before another one hits Can you hear it, can you hear it? Can you hear it, can you feel? Can you see behind the chaos and the noise? Can you hear it beyond the lies Calling out our drowned out voices? Now We are too easy to manipulate Now the value of our words reside In the space between us

Our words can never do it One of us is gone No faith, no fear, no nothing Just can't believe it Close now to the end No epiphanies We'd rather face indifference Than any spark of hope Remain where sanity holds you Whatever happens, happens Remain where sanity holds you close Whatever happens Words that drew a future In every shade of grey This quiet understanding Is not enough Stay in this forever We'll speak your name As we move in memory Trapped in time Closer to the end Telling no more lies In strength and understanding We are alone So face the greatest emptiness As it falls around you On every step of the way To the ever, the ever opening night These are the longest hours Not knowing what time will grant us These are the words that compose the dark This is now where we are And one of us is gone Our words can never do it One of us is gone One of us is gone

Another unit of our measure Beyond what we can see Our days so far Conform to this blind metric We let the distance set the tone For how it travels through our time We set our sights too far We narrowed our scope I hold my hand to the sky for scale To prove my insignificance Enforced perspective Enforced perspective We hold in our hands What once had seemed unreachable Another turn around To face illusion We make our innermost design Align to a vision we deny We set our sights too far We narrowed our scope I hold my hand to the sky for scale To prove my insignificance Enforced perspective Enforced perspective The power to destroy What towers now before us The ones that got away Now hides within us all That hides within us all Retune the sight line to Make sense of our delusion Out of proportion One reality fades We grasp what we can never hold In matters out of our control We set our sights too far We narrowed our scope I hold my hand to the sky for scale To prove my insignificance Enforced perspective

We shape a life without Our choice will take us there We sought the unexplored to weave a tale untold A lasting peace within The need to set it right below our will and force A voice misleading What is our want will make us doubt? What is our need for things to end? What is our want that will make us doubt? Leave us with emptiness This is a gift and our curse Our mind desire There is violence in our hearts unbroken This is the day of our disconnect. To go against, to go out of the way To keep a mind on to oneesеlf What is there to share When our world is slowly breaking? What is there to share When our world is slowly breaking down? What is our want will make us doubt? What is our need for things to end? What is our want that will make us doubt? Leave us with emptiness This is a gift and our curse Our mind desire There is violence in our hearts unbroken This is the day, this is the day. This is the day Of our disconnect What cannot be hindered Cuts right, cuts right through us What can never be altered Yet changes everything Changes everything What is our want will make us doubt? What is our need for things to end? What is our want that will make us doubt? Leave us with emptiness This is a gift and our curse Our mind desire There is violence in our hearts unbroken This is the day of our disconnect.

Antithetical to our veracity We never speak of this A self-contained betrayal A violence owned Left out cold by our time The oncoming oppression Submit to the cruellest force We're dragged behind by our lies This is our fate So grand and blind As is our will to live up to our minds This is our fate So grand and blind We set our wayward eyes Too far beyond our reach Like distant stars, our light was cold The inner darkness, expansive and profound In infinite transparency We enhance the intrigue With insufficient sight Our imagination takes us down This is our fate So grand and blind As is our will to live up to our minds This is our fate So grand and blind We set our wayward eyes Too far beyond our reach This is our fate So grand and blind As is our will to live up to our minds This is our fate So grand and blind We set our wayward eyes Too far beyond our reach This is our fate So grand and blind As is our will to live up to our minds Yeah, this is our fate So grand and blind We set our wayward eyes Too far beyond our reach

What we've set up for ourselves is a goal we will never reach Another branch to climb too far, our resolve can never break We measure loss not by its impact, but by severity and cost A bleaker sun now sets over indifferent lands When we gaze into the abyss What we cannot see lies deeper within ourselves When we gaze into the abyss, we anchor our sanity A bleaker sun now sets over indifferent lands Each plan for our very own longevity and prosperous nature Subverted long ago as we head for another failure We don't look up, we never forgive ourselves We don't look up, but for our own reflection A bleaker sun now sets over indifferent lands When we gaze into the abyss What we cannot see lies deeper within ourselves When we gaze into the abyss, we anchor our sanity A bleaker sun now sets over indifferent lands Another round amid the chaos of our inner turbulent ideas Resisted for the longest time, now we dive into further dark Never look in, could we ever come back again? Never look in until the time is right A bleaker sun now sets over indifferent lands. When we gaze into the abyss What we cannot see lies deeper within ourselves When we gaze into the abyss, we anchor our sanity A bleaker sun now sets over indifferent lands A bleaker sun now sets

What little we know, know of each other What part of our distance is real Further from the core, core of our being A borrowed perspective, a voice not our own What we see is a darkened mirage Through the prism, we broke out from One judgement feeds yet another This fractured mind broken by our view of us What we crave for ourselves From anyone who will listen Is not enough, enough to maintain That image in the mirror You see for yourself What are we if not a false reflection? We've always been two, two seconds away From misery or bliss, now you decide We'd rather not see, see what is given When we can take the pieces and build our own What stands before us are manmade monsters Created by our own damn selves We feign a deep understanding of something Of something, we can never be What we crave for ourselves From anyone who will listen Is not enough, enough to maintain That image in the mirror You see for yourself What are we if not a false reflection? From anyone who will listen Is not enough, enough to maintain That image in the mirror You see for yourself What are we if not a false reflection?
