Moment

To a fleeting wealth of knowledge We stand now idly by As it crashes and burns far from our grasp The ages-old dichotomy Between knowledge and belief One priori judgement at a time In judgement defined In our lifestyle, apathy So incapable In only observation and reaction We free ourselves of history In opinion and false deception What feats of our imagining We now fail at the hands of our non-control Confirmation biases Let me go, let me go We now fail at the hands of our non-control Resistant, transient Let me go, let me go Fall to the depths of desire's reach At the hands of our own device Understanding kept at arm's length With opinions close to the chest Hurtful, cold, beyond reproach Resisting to be called One form of denial at a time Through judgement defined In our lawless ignorance So untouchable No liberation or deduction We feed into the narrative In speculation and reification You gather up the fallacies We now fail at the hands of our non-control Confirmation biases Let me go, let me go We now fail at the hands of our non-control Resistant, transient Let me go, let me go, let me go One hit and you walk away Irredeemable In only observation and reaction We free ourselves of history In opinion and false deception What feats of our imagining We now fail at the hands of our non-control Confirmation biases Let me go, let me go We now fail at the hands of our non-control Resistant, transient Let me go, let me go, let me go

In the flicker of a light In a shadow on the wall In the reassuring voice Of apophenia, my friend I hear signals in the static I see distant figures calling And I know it's not to be Yet let there be revelation I see movement in every color I see patterns, I see forms There is a way to feel affirmed A way to know for certain Where answers to our questions Remain in the unknown There is a way to feel A way to know Where meaning and logic Remain in the unknown Apophenia, my friend In ripples across the water Our seething minds embrace The false positive of comfort To register as nothing Nothing but willed illusion I know just what this is But please, let it be a revelation I see movement in every color I see patterns, I see forms There is a way to feel affirmed A way to know for certain Where answers to our questions Remain in the unknown There is a way to feel A way to know Where meaning and logic Remain in the unknown With nothing to break the illusion To break the spell Just knowing what this is not Is enough to dispell the doubting And give into delusion Let it be revelation It gives purpose to the mundane I see movement in every color I see patterns, I see forms There is a way to feel affirmed A way to know for certain Where answers to our questions Remain in the unknown There is a way to feel A way to know Where meaning and logic Remain in the unknown

Where are we now? Where are we going? To the ends of our worlds, if not further Where are we now? Where are we going? To the other side of right From wherever I am I call to you From wherever I am tonight We are strangers where we stand Do I have to be the one to let this go forever To see what lies unknown? I don't want to be the one to let this go forever We are what we can, we can only hope to forget This distance-created curse Of silence and waking nights I thought I could see an end To do whatever we can To raise the stakes To make everything count tonight We are strangers where we stand Do I have to be the one to let this go forever To see what lies unknown? I don't want to be the one to let this go forever So this is where we are tonight We're at a standstill till the end From wherever I am I call to you I call to you From wherever I am From whoever I am tonight We are strangers where we stand Do I have to be the one to let this go forever To see what lies unknown? I don't want to be the one to let this go forever So this is where we are tonight There is nowhere to go from here

Senses die in me To the point of resistance failure Numb to the noise and the self-defining Liberation of the ego deceived Liberation of the ego deceived With the self negated Taken to the core of Reaction formation Sublimation channeling Reaction formation Sublimation channeling Idealize the maker Move the application Above the form Till it brings you down I cannot feel your pain I cannot see your fear Though I can sense your anger now I'm just the one who wants Just the one who needs Locked in ego deception Hours die in me As deception powers to resist the known simplicity In the giving of what others could want Oblivious and headstrong Liberation lies within Oblivious to constructs coming down Deception formation Sublimation channeling Deception formation Sublimation channeling Reshaping of reality Reinforcing a lie On which it's built upon I cannot feel your pain I cannot see your fear Though I can sense your anger now I'm just the one who wants Just the one who needs Locked in ego deception Vilification of the unbeliever Strike fear in inquiry Justify the perceived intention Ego deception He cannot feel your pain And cannot see your fear Though he can sense your anger Just the one who wants Just the one who needs Locked in ego deception

So burn the trail and keep the flames alight Before the end appears inside the haze Bare the shadow cast from journey's end The final curtain falls, there's nothing there Without a trace We lie in wait again You lost the will to feel And take the highs and lows for granted Or am I wasting all my time when I know this is different? I know, I know, I know Far away and out of our reach Our broken ways abandoned long ago Freed inside the walls of your design Non-conforming, wavering alone A drawn out Exit from the norm You lost the will to feel And take the highs and lows for granted Is this wasted on the numb knowing this won't make a difference? I know, I know, I know Is there bliss in resisting The fortune of feelings we hold? The sharp edges that determine our shape The scars that now expose the pain Our broken bodies speak of triumph Our face reveals what should be known Yet, you burn the trail Burn You lost the will to feel And take the highs and lows for granted Or am I wasting all my time when I know this is different? I know, I know, I know

Bring to an end This avoidance when you close your eyes What is now Had a beginning phase that came to pass Now the eyes of the world are upon you We all want to know Now the eyes of the world are upon you Will we ever see? I can feel it coming down As the walls give way and crumble I can feel it coming down And I will be watching You take the bait It pulls you in and takes you down And these days It seems we miss what lies between, the lies between We can sense the way they'll spin us They'll spin us round and round till we forget Till we forget Lead the fires to the core To the end now within reach, we must resist We must resist Now the eyes of the world are upon you We all want to know Now the eyes of the world are upon you Will we ever see? I can feel it coming down As the walls give way and crumble I can feel it coming down And I will be watching Yeah, I will be watching Now the eyes of the world are upon you Will we ever see? I can feel it coming down As the walls give way and crumble I can feel it coming down And I will be watching Yeah, I will be watching

Temper the burn With the death of a night, unending The voices fall again In judgement and scorn The sky disappears To fragment our blind perception Forge every waking thought And stoke our fears To the tune of the apocalypse To the tune of the apocalypse Brave the silent hours Resist the fail state There is death inside And nothing but failure And you will never know its name You will never know its name With a line descending As the voices call again The barriers appear To block out our baser instincts Force each and every thought To amplify fear To the tune of the apocalypse To the tune of the apocalypse Brave the silent hours Resist the fail state There is death inside And nothing but failure And you will never know its name You will never know its name The final set of fours Repeat the affirmation Face the indecision Resist the fail state To the tune of the apocalypse To the tune of the apocalypse Brave the silent hours Resist the fail state To the tune of the apocalypse To the tune of the apocalypse Brave the silent hours Resist the fail state

Let the dark run Deep within you Let the fever Drive the chaos inside Let the force out Non containment area Give the fading of the light A chance Weakening resolve Break the pattern's narrow net Lore of the obsessed Leave the finer truths behind Into the rivalling Ideas of the lost Wired to the ends Of the most sensitive of nerves In the eyes of the unbroken Fortune favours loss and doubt Taught among the ruins Of empires lost to time Let the rage in Non-commital Adverse mode Given is the taking Of security unbound Reckoning with doubt Fail ahead as mind is set Core of the incensed Waive the right as truth be told In empires now lost to time Let the dark run Let the fever Drive the chaos inside

This matters more with time Than anything I know This object permanence Keeps you with me 'til the end Inconsequential I may be I know Inside the silence In truth divided I have lost myself again When words are not enough And time is not the healer What is gone inside Has left me here without This hardened heart resists I'm left here barely standing What lies behind the fear Belies the grand perspective When I don't want to see it And I don't want to hear The world is silent Inside the fire I cannot see Inside I cannot find you In truth divided I don't believe I have lost myself again This search within Has gone inside And left without
